DUBAI: Meraas has announced that it has partnered with global payments technology company, Visa, to create a new and exciting cardholder benefit for Visa premium cardholders in Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

The multi-year agreement will enable Visa Platinum, Visa Signature and Visa Infinite customers to take advantage of a 20 percent discount at more than 30 selected dining, leisure and entertainment concepts at Meraas destinations City Walk, The Beach, Boxpark, Last Exit and The Outlet Village.

The offer is valid from today and includes a selection of food and beverage concepts, from food trucks to casual and fine dining restaurants such as Butcha, Poco Loco, Pots, Pans & Boards, Galvin Dubai, Lima Dubai, Toro + Ko and many others. It also extends to Roxy Cinemas, Hub Zero, Mattel Play! Town, The Green Planet and Splash Pad Dubai.
