Lady Luck smiles on
Hackett-Griffin

St. Patrick’s Day came a few
days early for Lorna Hackett-Griffin, flight attendant, who, with the
luck of the Irish, took home a check for $10,000 last week thanks to Bank of
America and the Signature Simon Visa card sweepstakes.
“Cinnabons for everyone!” Hackett-Griffin exclaimed when she learned that
she was the grand prize winner and $10,000 richer. Hackett-Griffin said that
she first got involved with promoting the Visa card program because of
encouragement from fellow crewmembers. And, she’s sure glad she did, as her
name was chosen from among hundreds of employee participants.

The contest allows employees
from Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air to earn cash and be entered into a
drawing for encouraging customers, family members and friends to apply for
an Alaska Airlines Visa Signature card. Unlike previous sweepstakes,
employees were entered into the drawing only once, regardless of the number
of applications they processed.
Other winners will be named in the upcoming weeks, just as soon as all are
notified. In all, a total of $22,500 in prizes will be given out to Alaska
or Horizon employees this quarter.
The contest, which ended in December, ran concurrently with a consumer
“Bills Go Bye Bye” sweepstakes in which three lucky winners had their credit
card purchases paid in full up to $10,000.
“We had a huge jump in Visa card sign-ups for December, thanks to both the
Signature Simon sweepstakes and the consumer promotion,” said Jennifer
Irwin, supervisor of partnership marketing, who manages the day-to-day
relationship with Bank of America.
The promotion also benefits the Employee Assistance Fund with Bank of
America donating $3 for each approved application.
