(Hong Kong, 23 June 2009) one2free and Octopus
are pleased to announce the exclusive partnership of one2free
and Octopus Rewards which brings convenience and exceptional
benefits to targeted customers. Customers simply need to
register with both one2free's oneRewards loyalty club and
Octopus Rewards programme to get extra Octopus Reward$,
which are easily earned when customers use one2free services
or purchase handsets at one2free shops. one2free shops now
accept Octopus for payment, providing fast and convenient
transactions for customers. The partnership will kick off
with the launch of the "5x Reward$" campaign.
Customers can earn five times Octopus Reward$ by simply
registering as a member of oneRewards and Octopus Rewards.
Mr Tarek Robbiati, Chief Executive Officer of CSL Limited,
said, "one2free listens to what its customers want
and we understand their needs. That is why we developed
this service by bringing together two Hong Kong corporations
— Octopus and one2free. Both the Octopus and the mobile
phone are considered daily necessities. They are the two
items that you just cannot leave home without and that is
why it makes sense to bring Octopus and one2free together.
We are excited about this partnership with Octopus and our
increased ability to provide additional benefits to our
customers. Not only have we launched Next GTM, the world's
fastest All-IP mobile broadband network in Hong Kong, but
also we continue to take the challenge to the market place
by providing new and exciting services like this. I am also
delighted to say that we now provide our customers with
one of the fastest ways to earn Reward$."
Ms Prudence Chan, Chief Executive Officer of Octopus Holdings
Limited, said, "Our partnership with one2free is a
strong and natural one as both companies share a common
brand promise in making everyday life easier, and we are
both in the forefront of innovation. With today's launch,
customers can enjoy the ease of paying mobile service bills
in-store by using their Octopus and earning Reward$ when
they pay for one2free's mobile services by whatever payment
means. These are proven benefits and offer true convenience
for our customers." Octopus Rewards is one of the largest
loyalty programmes in Hong Kong, with more than 2.2 million
registered members who can earn and redeem Reward$ through
23 merchants at over 800 locations throughout Hong Kong.
Making payment with Octopus gives added convenience to
one2free customers, helping "make life easier",
fulfilling one2free's brand promise. To celebrate the partnership
with Octopus, one2free has invited Mr Jim Chim Shui-man,
one of Hong Kong's most famous actors and comedians, to
represent the "face" of the concept. Jim has designed
a series of messages representing different lifestyles and
attitudes of one2free's unique customers and how we can
make life easier. These messages will be printed in a series
of 5 limited edition collectable Octopus card holders, available
exclusively to selected customers.
From today, customers can enter the "one2free Dood
Lucky Draw" to win fabulous prizes by making any purchase,
making bill payments, or sending an SMS to a designated
number. Prizes include Samsung 40" iDTVs, Sony Ericsson
handsets, travel package coupons, dinner buffet coupons,
Mini NoteBooks and so much more. For more information, please
