Hutchinson ties with HDFC

Hutchinson affiliated companies-Essar in Delhi; Orange in Mumbai and Command in Kolkata have tied up with HDFC Bank to bring an offer with Roaming Rewards. A visiting national customer, travelling to Kolkata, New Delhi or Mumbai and holding a HDFC Bank savings or current account can now get Rs 4, credited to their HDFC bank account for every Rs 100 of roaming airtime used in any of the above networks.

To register for the Roaming Rewards program, the customer needs to call at 500 (toll free) in each of the Hutchinson locations and choose the alliance partner. The roaming reward points are calculated on the basis of the duration of the call. For instance, if a subscriber speaks for 25 seconds, he/she would get points for 25 seconds. 

The Roaming Rewards program provides an opportunity for national roaming customers to earn reward points based on their roaming usage in Hutchinson circles. Apart from the current tie-up with HDFC Bank, the program also has tie-ups with Flying Returns-a joint frequent flier program of Air India and Indian Airlines.

The current value of points for each alliance partner is 12 Mileage Points with Flying Returns or seven Bonus Reward points with HSBC or five TOP Points with The Oberoi Group for every Rs 100 of roaming airtime used in the Hutchinson networks.
