Citi Encourages Cardholders to Go Paperless with EcoSweepstakes
April 17, 2008 By Seth Harbison
Regardless of whether you see it as a corporation going green or simply a corporation trying to save itself money, you can still win a hybrid vehicle or other “green” prize from Citi by switching to online account access in its EcoSweepstakes, which runs through May 14.
Cardholders receive entries for doing things that reduce the paperwork, including enrolling in and actually using online bill payment, choosing online statements, and other tasks associated with your account. The grand prize winner will get the choice of a hybrid car or a “green” home makeover. Other prizes include trips to the Lapa Rios EcoLodsge in Costa Rica and a year’s supply of organic, sustainably-harvested coffee.
To further its green ambitions, Citi will also plant a tree for each new paperless account established in April and May, via The Arbor Day Foundation.
