Bucharest, 28 July – More than 3,900 participants applied for and received a Bonus Card Mastercard credit card from Garanti BBVA during the “Summer Vacation, Gift” campaign, held between February 10 and June 15, 2025. The initiative, run in partnership with Mastercard, awarded prizes with a total gross value of over 262,000 lei, including three all-inclusive vacations to Turkey and 35 iPhone 16 devices.
The three vacations, each valued at 20,000 lei net, offer a complete relaxation experience at a five-star resort in Turkey, arranged through the partner travel agency Abeona. The iPhone 16 devices awarded to the other 35 winners have a net value of 5,100 lei each.
“The campaign results confirm the growing interest among Romanians for innovative banking products, that deliver valuable rewards and unforgettable moments. Our collaboration with Mastercard has enabled us to offer Bonus Card clients prizes desired by any active consumer, during a season where relaxation and practicality go hand in hand,” said Emre Ünal, Cards Payments System Director, Garanti BBVA Romania.

This campaign is a great example of how we can create real moments of joy for consumers and deepen the connection between brands and the people they serve,” said Stefan Toderita, Head of Sales, Mastercard Romania.
To enter the campaign, participants had to apply for a Bonus Card Mastercard through the Garanti BBVA Mobile app or at any bank branch, activate the card by generating a PIN code, and perform at least one transaction online or at a POS terminal. Each eligible transaction counted as an additional chance in the prize draw.
