East R’veldt woman wins Scotiabank MasterCard holiday promotion

An East Ruimveldt woman has won the shopping trip for two to Miami offered by Scotiabank in its holiday MasterCard campaign, which ran from November 1, 2012 to January 31, 2013.

A press release from the bank said that Prudence Edwards won for herself and companion round trip airfares, hotel accommodation for four days and three nights and US$1500 in spending money. The prize package is valued about G$1M.

Edwards, a Scotiabank customer for over 12 years, was pleased when she received the news of her prize, noting that this is the first time she has won anything.  The release said that she will be officially presented with her tickets and prize money shortly.

Customers were automatically entered into the promotion when they used their Scotiabank MasterCard, Scotiabank Gold MasterCard or Scotiabank MasterCard Businesscard to make a purchase or obtain a cash advance.  They received a chance for each transaction posted to their account but for those who signed up online for the promotion; those transactions received five chances each, the release added.
