Central International Watch Fair 2026 runs a KTC points benefit from 2 September to 11 October 2026 in participating watch and jewellery categories at Central Department Store. Cardholders redeem KTC FOREVER points equal to the sales-slip amount for an additional discount.
The everyday rate is 13% with no stated minimum. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, spending from THB 3,000 to THB 9,999 qualifies for 16%, while THB 10,000 or more qualifies for 18%. The discount is larger on weekends, but using points equal to a high-value purchase is a real cost.
How To Use It
Choose a participating watch or jewellery item, confirm that the selling counter is included, pay with an eligible KTC credit card and request the points redemption on one sales slip. Weekend tiers use the transaction day and the published spend band. Confirm eligibility before the bill closes, because the campaign period alone does not make every card, item, branch or payment route eligible.
What To Check
Excluded products, rental spaces and non-participating merchants do not qualify. Several KTC card types are excluded. The bill cannot be split to manufacture eligibility, and points are rounded to whole baht under the published calculation. Keep the itemised receipt and any reservation or registration confirmation until the benefit is settled. Resolve a mismatch before payment whenever possible.
Is It Worth It
A buyer already committed to an eligible item may prefer the higher weekend tier, especially above THB 10,000. Someone preserving points for travel or another redemption should compare their alternative use before converting points equal to the whole purchase amount. Compare the final payable amount with a normal direct purchase, including tax, service charge, transport and any points surrendered. A high percentage is useful only when the purchase already makes sense.
Plan The Visit
Confirm stock, reference number, warranty, authorised-dealer status, return policy, servicing, final price and event participation before travelling. Ask the counter to show the KTC calculation before payment and do not let the threshold encourage a more expensive model than intended. Recheck availability on the day because quotas, seating, stock and operating details can change. Do not add an unwanted purchase simply to reach a threshold.
After Payment
Save the Central International Watch Fair campaign page and photograph the receipt while it is readable. Check that the discount, treatment, points deduction or later credit matches the method you confirmed. Refunds, cancellations and chargebacks may reverse a benefit. If anything is missing, contact the merchant and card issuer promptly with the receipt and confirmation.
