HARARE, Mar, 11 (NewsDay Live) – Mobile money platform EcoCash has launched a new promotion offering customers the chance to win various prizes – including an all-expenses-paid holiday for two to Zanzibar – by transacting at least US$10 on EcoCash Mastercard.
According to adverts and promotional materials circulating on social media, customers who spend US$10 or more using their EcoCash MasterCard, will be eligible to enter weekly draws in which they can win smartphones, mobile data, groceries, and restaurant vouchers, among other prizes.
The adverts said all USD-funded EcoCash wallets are eligible to participate in the promotion, adding that customers can win prizes based on their spending thresholds.
“The greater the transaction amount, the higher the chances of winning a prize,” the promotional material read.
Customers who spend between US$10 and US$29 stand a chance to win mobile data, while those who spend between US$30 and US$49 are eligible for restaurant vouchers. Transactions above US$50 qualify for grocery vouchers, and transactions exceeding US$100 stand the opportunity to win smartphones.
In addition, the promotion – which ends in April 2025 – said customers who spend US$35 or more will automatically be entered into a grand prize draw, which includes an all-expenses-paid holiday for two in Zanzibar. This luxurious getaway includes three nights' accommodation, meals, flights, and transfers to and from the airport.
“Holiday anyone? Spend and win using EcoCash Mastercard. Grand prize: Holiday package for 2 to Zanzibar,” read one of the adverts.
The promotional material said customers can generate a virtual MasterCard by dialling *153*2*4*2# and entering their PIN. The virtual card, valid for one year, allows users to make online payments and qualify for the promotion. Alternatively, customers can obtain a physical MasterCard at any Econet shop nationwide.
