Visa Sweepstakes Offering Ten 100K Holiday Prizes

By Justin McHenry

Unless you’re a really big spender, you can probably get all of your holiday shopping done with less than $100,000. So, if you’re one of the ten winners in the “100K Holiday from Visa Sweepstakes”, you can count on having quite a bit left over to treat yourself. The new sweepstakes from Visa is an automatic-entry sweeps, meaning that every time consumers use their Visa cards from now until the end of December, they will be entered. Ten winners get $100,000 each.

In addition, Visa is offering an online instant win game at http://www.visa.com/100K that will award one winner a $1000 Visa gift card and $50 gift cards for an additional 500 winners.

To support the sweepstakes Visa is running a TV ad featuring Ebeneezer Scrooge, in which Scrooge “performs ’selfish’ acts of charity to show that even someone as stingy as Scrooge can be motivated to use his Visa card for a chance to win,” according to Kellie Krug of Visa USA.
