Our cash back loyalty program is designed to reward our valued customers. Here’s what you can expect:

• 1% cash back is calculated based on your gross revenue spend, excluding management charges and taxes. This means that you can earn cash back on the actual amount spent for your event.
• Cash back earned will be applied towards your next event with us (but it must be used within 36 months).

We’re committed to providing you the best possible experience. We hope this cash back loyalty program will help you get the most out of your event planning and execution.

As always, we’d love to hear your feedback on our exhibition benefit program and how we can better tailor it to your needs.
