English term or phrase: unclear meaning, too obvious, there must be a trick!
The offer is exclusive to Cardmembers and is better than any other current promotion.

French translation:tricky stuff
Explanation:
bonsoir. Try turning it round:
"(Les avantages de) cet offre surpasse(nt) les promotions du moment et est exclusive pour les titulaires de la carte (XXX)". Still kind of obvious but now there may be a reason why go for the offer (now message would be: 1.-"hey look at this"...2.- "get it quick mate!"). Or so I think anyway. Good luck with it. Oh, links show part of phrase. :)

"Cette offre, qui surpasse toute autre promotion courante, ne s'applique qu'aux detenteurs de ca


Explanation:
Sorry. Ran out of space: "Cette offre, qui surpasse toute autre promotion courante, ne s'applique qu'aux détenteurs de carte de membre".

It is a little more convoluted in French than in English, but it says what it means.

Hope it helps.
