Launch of Ocean Village Premier Card

Aug. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Just in case you needed any more incentive to spend your time sampling the delights of Gibraltar’s Ocean Village, the mixed-use resort has now launched its very own Premier Card.  Offering fantastic discounts and privileges, the Ocean Village Premier Card will transform the way you spend your leisure time.

Ros Astengo from the Ocean Village Marketing Team explains, “Over time we found great demand for a loyalty card scheme from both our customers and commercial partners; we have listened and the scheme goes live this summer.  The new Premier Card is a great way to reward our customers with special offers and promotions that will grow and change throughout the year.  And the good news is that customers can use the Card as often as they like.”

The Premier Card is available in two formats – a durable credit card-style version with no expiry date for local residents and a paper coupon ‘day’ version for tourists and visiting yacht crews.  The former can be picked up at any of the Resort’s many shops, bars and restaurants displaying the card sticker or poster and you will automatically be entered into a free prize draw that could win £500-worth of Ocean Village Vouchers with the winner announced at the end of the year.  Tourist day passes can be picked up at Gibraltar’s key tourist information points such as at the cruise ship and bus terminals and the Gibraltar Tourist Offices at the frontier and in Casemates Square.  Marina users will also get their own Premier Card which will entitle them to additional discounts from the Hire-U-Shop and Sheppard’s Chandlery.

With almost every establishment in Ocean Village participating, there’s a fantastic array of promotions to pick from.  How about 50% off temporary day, weekend or weekly memberships at the Ocean Village Health Club?  Or perhaps you’ll take advantage of 10% off any treatment at B Beautiful from a massage to a pedicure.  Whilst rubbing shoulders with lady luck on the slot machines at the Gala Casino, Premier Card holders can wet the whistle with free tea and coffee from 10am to 5pm meanwhile day trippers will get 10% off excursions with Dolphin Safari – or a massive 20% for residents.  Those with a passion for fashion get a generous £10 voucher if spending over £25 at Esprit, Aftershock boutique is chopping 10% off for all and Signature will slash a huge 20% off Armani Jeans, Versace, Emporio Armani, Replay and DKNY.

For guilt-free drinking and dining, the Ocean Village Premier Card is a must-have.  Savannah Lounge, Laziz and Pizza Express are all offering 10% off your total bill.  Ipanema will discount 5% for residents, 10% for day trippers, Celebrity will chop 10% off the special £7.95 set lunch menu whilst Harley’s has opted for a 12% reduction for all.  KFC is joining in with two free soft drinks with every bucket meal.  New tapas bar, Taps, will offer 10% off when they open in just a few weeks.

The offers continue at CTS Communications, Petit Café, convenience store Ocean Village Express, Aphrodite Beauty, Janice Hair & Beauty, O’Reilly’s Irish Pub, Café Fresco, Liiwi Drinks and the Ocean Village Pharmacy.  For brides to be, new bridal shop All Things Nice along the promenade will throw in a complimentary bottle of champagne with each wedding dress purchased.  To keep abreast of the latest Premier Card benefits keep an eye on FaceBook Group Ocean Village Gibraltar - The Official Site and follow OceanVillageGib  on Twitter.  All promotions and discounts are subject to change and cannot be used in conjunction with other offers.

About Ocean Village - Gibraltar's Ocean Village is fast-gathering a reputation for being the rising star in the superyacht arena and is now competing with the most established marinas across the Mediterranean.
Located on the west side of Gibraltar, Ocean Village is the most sheltered marina in the region with close-up views of Africa some 14km across the Straits. As the ‘gateway to the Mediterranean’, it provides a base for sailing across the Atlantic or exploring the marinas and beaches which populate the North African, Spanish and Portuguese coastlines.
Aside from geography, the Rock itself has obvious appeal to yacht owners. Gibraltar has Cat 1 Red Ensign Group status, EU membership and is the most important ship refuelling point in the Mediterranean thanks to cut-price fuel. It also has a favourable system of taxation (including no VAT), a no surprises legal system based on the UK and pound sterling as its currency.
