Visa USA yesterday launched a Share Your Holidays promotion emphasizing spending time-and money-with friends and family. Through Dec. 31, every time cardholders uses their Visa, they are automatically entered into a drawing for 50 $20,000 prizes from Visa with the option to give half of the money to a friend.
The San Francisco-based credit-card company is teaming with University of Connecticut sociology professor Dr. Jan Yager (the author of “Friendshifts: The Power of Friendship and How it Shapes Our Lives”) to give consumers tips on spending time with loved ones during the holiday crunch. Cardholders are encouraged to visit Emode.com to take a quiz to determine their closest friend. Frankel’s San Francisco office handles. TV spots featuring “Frasier’s” Jane Leeves support.
