MBF Cards (M'sia) Sdn Bhd recently launched the ‘Got 5' Get RM500,000 Contest where CardMembers who spend a minimum of RM50 will stand a chance to win more than 35,000 worth of cash prizes totaling approximately RM2.5 million.

The Contest which runs from April 7 to September 28, provides CardMembers with multiple opportunities to win RM50 everyday over 25 weeks, whether transactions are made locally or abroad. This will then culminate with 125 CardMembers vying for the grand prize of RM500,000 cash in October this year. Three simple steps are all it takes for the CardMember to win. The first step is to charge a minimum of RM50 to any MBF Cards credit card. Then one needs to check if the approval code on the transaction slip ends with a '5' and if it does, the last step is to SMS the ‘Got 5' transaction details to 39366 for verification.

CardMembers will have numerous opportunities to win daily prizes. The key is to consistently register via SMS all their ‘Got 5' transactions to increase the odds. For transactions made abroad, CardMembers have to call 03-2167 0555 to register.

During the contest duration of 25 weeks, the first 205 successfully registered Got 5 entries everyday will receive RM50 credited back into their account. CardMembers are encouraged to register as soon as they get a ‘5' as time is of the essence and the registration of approval codes must be done within the same day of transaction to be eligible.

Additionally, at the end of each week (Monday-Sunday), five CardMembers who have successfully registered the highest number of ‘Got 5' transactions made within that week, will be selected for the Grand Prize draw. CardMembers who were unsuccessful in winning the daily cash prizes should still continue registering their ‘Got 5' as they could still qualify as one of the Grand Prize finalist. At the end of the contest, all finalists will be invited for an event to vie for the Grand Prize of half a million Ringgit. The other contenders for the Grand Prize will not leave empty-handed, as each of them will receive at least RM1,000 cash.

Potential CardMembers can also participate in this contest by becoming an MBF CardMember. If they get their MBF card anytime during the promotion period (April 7 to September 28), they can enter the contest and are eligible to win the daily cash prize and be in running for the Grand Prize of half-a-million Ringgit. So it is advisable for non-CardMembers to apply at the earliest.
