Bangkok--9 Jan--Spark Communications
Visa cardholders can win one-million Baht worth of gold simply by using their Visa payWave cards or Visa cards on Samsung Pay at more than 20 major retailers nationwide from today to 31 March 2017.
Every contactless Visa transaction is automatically entered into the lucky draw every time payment is made. Participating merchants include 7-Eleven, Big C, Emporium, Family Mart, Gourmet Market, Home Fresh Mart, Isetan, Hello Kitty House, Krispy Kreme, Lawson, Major Cineplex, MaxValu, McDonald's, Siam Paragon, Tang Hua Seng, Tesco Lotus, The Mall, Tom n Tom Coffee, Tops, and Watsons.
There are more than 400,000 merchants in Thailand that accept Visa payWave and Samsung Pay, the latter which can also be used at magnetic stripe-only point-of-sales. Please check with the cashier for merchants that only accept Visa payWave or Samsung Pay.
Visa contactless payments combine unparalleled convenience with security. Visa payWave transactions under THB 1,500 require no signature. A Visa payWave card uses encryption technology via EMV chip to protect cardholder data, while Samsung Pay features Visa Token Service, which replaces cardholder information, such as account numbers and expiration dates, with a unique digital identifier (a "token") that can be used for payment without exposing a cardholder's more sensitive account information.
The winner will be selected through a lucky draw that will take place on 28 April 2017 and be announced on 12 May 2017 at www.visa.co.th.
