online subscribers win with showtime & visa international
Showtime has announced the winners of its joint online competition with Visa International, with winners across the GCC claiming exotic Mediterranean cruises and top-of-the range LCD TVs.
The six-week promotion, held between May and July, was designed to highlight Showtime’s newly implemented secure online subscription service and payment gateway.
Entrants were simply asked to subscribe online using their Visa credit card for a chance to win, with new and renewing customers receiving double entries into the competition and existing customers already paying with their Visa card being automatically entered.
The Grand Prize of a Mediterranean cruise for two went to the following prize winners in the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman:
UAE: Hesham Shamlaan
Kuwait: Talal Yousuf Kheraibet
Qatar: Robert Collins
Bahrain: Mrs Robin Hermann
Oman: Tarik al Junaidi
First prize winners in Jeddah, Riyadh and Khobar in Saudi Arabia won themselves a state-of-the-art Sony Bravia home entertainment system – three HDTV 40” LCD TVs.
The KSA winners were: Mohammad Ali Al Uoseef, Ewan Walton and Ahmad Alballaa.
Six secondary prizes of a Platinum Showbox Showtime subscription were also given out in each market.
Throughout the duration of the promotion, all online subscriptions received a $54 saving - equivalent to a waived installation fee or a half-price SHOWBOX fee.
Available through Showtime’s website, www.showtimearabia.com, customers can subscribe online and use the simple and secure payment process, which includes an electronic copy of the customer’s bill and a breakdown of all transactions.
