Thirsty Thursdays GO with Visa

:: Thirsty Thursdays GO with Visa ::

Thirsty Thursdays this month partnered with Visa International and popped a spot quiz on attendants which saw everyone given a chance to win Visa Prepaid spending money for their next holiday.

Thirsty Thursdays' followers had to put their thinking caps on as they were quizzed on countries and their currencies, entrance fees to major tourist attractions, as well as Visa products and their selling points.

Throughout the event, food and drinks for the first hundred trickled through the crowd courtesy of Visa and Breakaway Travelclub respectively, while teams of two and three scribbled answers furiously on their quiz sheets.

In the end two intrepid Flighties took out the section on international currency while another three took out the section on major attraction entrance fees, and to wrap it up HRG Australia were awarded the top prize of $150 each for their knowledge of Visa products.

A final lucky dip draw saw two more strike it lucky with more prepaid vouchers, to see a total of $900 in vouchers given out on the night.

A big thanks from e-Travel Blackboard to our sponsors on the night, especially major sponsor Visa International, as well as monthly sponsors Breakaway and TMS Asia Pacific.

Our next Thirsty Thursdays event will take place on the 29th of October and attendants could possibly be seeing a getaway to the Philippines, so make sure you put it in your diary!
