Through Visa and Metrobank, a once-in-a lifetime opportunity came true for this Superfan
Every fan has their dream. If it’s front row seats to their favorite band or a meet and greet with their favorite actors, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see things up close and personal rests in the imaginations of everyone with an ounce of fandom in them.
For one race fan Josh and his partner Chanel, they’ve long imagined a moment in time where they were given the chance to see a race play out in front of them. Rubber burnt on asphalt, roars of a cheering crowd, a waved checkered flag – all sensations played out over and over again in dreams.
Those dreams became a reality for the duo. They’d soon receive their winning status in the Singaporean race promotion made possibly by Metrobank, courtesy of Visa. Small hopes through participating in the promotion evolved into ecstatic disbelief as the pair realized where they would head to next – Marina Bay Singapore with elite accommodations and an unforgettable experience awaiting them.
A Winner’s Lap
For winning superfan Josh Alec Ryes Ricardo, he and his companion received the news that swept them right off their feet. In his words, “Being given the privilege to get up close and personal to all the race action through the VIP experience courtesy of Visa was mind-blowing and an opportunity no race fan would like to miss.” The VIP experience was unlike anything Josh nor is partner had ever been a part of.
A stay at JW Marriot Singapore South Beach awaited the two – a five star luxury hotel that provided the best accommodations right at the heart of the city. Both loved Marina Bay even without being at the track. Bayside views, access to the nicest cafes and boardwalks, and the excitement of exploration at one of Southeast Asia’s most iconic cities were all deeply memorable amenities provided by the VIP experience.
A Terrific Team
The Visa Cash App RB team was a marvel to watch work. Respect for the nature of the motorsport he loved so much grew tenfold. The raw skill and charismatic personas of Visa Cash App RB drivers Yuki and Daniel were a sight to behold both on track and off. On the technical aspects, Team Principal Laurent Mekies veteran guidance honed the Visa Cash App RB cars designed by Technical Chief Jody Egginton. There was naught but gratitude from Josh, as he got to directly be in the setting that he’s only ever watched and read about.
Lights Out, and Away They Go
Never in a million years did they anticipate the chance to come. At the same time though, they fully trusted Visa and Metrobank to pull a move like this. Josh valued the trust they built together for over two decades, as capability was something they had in spades. It only took pulling the trigger to fully commit to a collaboration through the partnership of Visa and Visa Cash App RB, and this showed the winners how engaged they were are at providing only the best opportunities for their customers.
In the far future, Josh sees Visa and Metrobank making the most of their collaboration. Beyond future races for card users, other relevant entertainment avenues like fashion events show an ever-present dedication to sustainability and beneficial advocacies.
In the present? Josh and his companion head home from the Marina Bay heat with a dream fulfilled. With both the VIP experience privilege and Visa Metrobank card in hand, they lived some race fan dreams thanks to their forever financial partners. “As long time race fans, this has been our ultimate goal—to watch the race live. Thank you to Metrobank and Visa for this amazing opportunity!”
