Thanks to Visa, cardholders making purchase via LINE Pay can stand a chance to win a round-trip to see the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil
BANGKOK, 21 March 2016 – Visa and LINE kick start a year-long collaboration with the launch of the “Visa LINE Go for Gold” campaign, a first between the world’s leading mobile platform and the world’s largest retail electronic payments network.
The “Visa LINE Go for Gold” campaign offers Visa cardholders the chance to win the grand prize to see the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in August this year. There are also 60 gold necklaces for the runner-ups. This opportunity is exclusively available to Visa cardholders making purchases via LINE Pay starting from today until May 15, 2016.
“We’re very pleased to work with such a well-known, widely accepted payment brand like Visa for this collaboration,” said Ariya Banomyong, Managing Director of LINE Thailand. “We believe this campaign will serve as a fun and exciting program for Thai users as well as enhance and bolster the growing mobile payment industry in Thailand in terms of user experience and engagement”
LINE Pay is an innovative and fun mobile payment platform from LINE, providing fast, easy and convenient payment on the go. The service has grown from strength to strength after the launch of “Hong Bao” campaign in February this year, which reached 8 million transactions in just a week. In less than a year, the number of registered users has grown to 1.5 million with over 250 merchants nationwide.
“While plastic payment cards remain vital to consumers, merchants, and our financial institution clients, Visa wants to ensure that paying in the digital world will be as universal and exciting as in the physical world. As the official sponsor for the Rio 2016 Olympics, we are happy to offer the grand prize to cardholders at LINE,” said Suripong Tantiyanon, Country Manager, Visa Thailand.
This offer is available in addition to other promotions between LINE and banks.
LINE will announce the winners of the “Visa LINE Go for Gold” campaign on May 24, 2016 via the LINE Thailand official account and LINE Pay official account.
