Uniastrum Bank Runs Special "Golden Days with Visa Gold" Promo

Moscow, Russia, June 15, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Under the scheme, Uniastrum will be issuing ten exclusive “Golden Week with Visa Gold” vouchers. During the “Golden Week” prizewinners can look forward to five unforgettable days in Moscow, visiting fitness clubs, day spas, restaurants, and night clubs, followed by a weekend break at a 5-star luxury hotel in Turkey. For runners-up, the Bank will be distributing 200 bottles of Veuve Clicquot champagne.

The more often customers use their Visa Gold card to make payments during the promo period, the greater their chances of finding themselves among the top-10 prizewinners or winning a bottle of Veuve Clicquot.
