“WHAT an absolutely amazing trip,” said Scotiabank customer Brian Ferguson about his recent all-expense paid trip to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The dream of attending the World Cup became a reality for one lucky Scotiabank customer thanks to a recent promotion by Visa and Scotiabank.

An exuberant Ferguson said: “There was so much to see, so much to do, too much to tell. It was fantastic. To feel the adrenaline rush of being in a stadium with more than 74,000 spectators and fans was unbelievably awesome. Socialising with hundreds of fans from different countries can only be described as unforgettable. We can only say that it was an opportunity of a lifetime, one we will always cherish. We are back in Nassau after the most wonderful trip to Rio, thanks to Scotiabank and Visa.”

The lucky winner also expressed gratitude to the Scotiabank team. “Thank you for all your assistance leading up to our departure. Everything went very smoothly, the Visa hospitality team was phenomenal, taking care of every single detail, no matter how small.”

“We’re very excited to have awarded one of our valued customers the opportunity to experience the 2014 FIFA World Cup live in Rio de Janeiro, thanks to Visa,” said Sean Albert, managing director of Scotiabank (Bahamas). “We’re always looking at ways to help our customers discover what’s possible in life and in their finances that include great rewards like this.”

By making the minimum purchase with their Scotiabank Visa card during the promotional period, February 1 to March 26, 2014, customers were entered for a chance to win the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The fantasy trip of a lifetime included a round trip airfare for two, 4 days 3 nights, four star accommodation, two tickets to a quarterfinals FIFA World Cup match and spending money while in Rio de Janeiro.
