GTT launches ‘Mission Christmas’ campaign to spread joy

With the traditional holiday season fast approaching, the Guyana Telephone & Telegraph Company (GTT) is gearing up for yet another Christmas promotion where customers are given the opportunity to win cash and prizes.

In a release yesterday, GTT announced the launch of its “Mission Christmas” campaign, a promotion it says, “offers customers the chance to win incredible prizes weekly this festive season.”

GTT also announced its Mega Million Christmas which runs from November 15 to December 31, with the opportunity for participants to see their holiday dreams come true. At the end of the campaign on December 31, six lucky qualifiers will have the chance to win millions in cash and cutting-edge-technology prizes.

According to the release, here’s how GTT’s Mega Million Christmas works:

Weekly Accumulation of Prizes

Throughout the six-week promotion, GTT customers will have the chance to see weekly prizes accumulate. The cash pot and eligible winning items will increase each week, building up to a grand prize draw. Each week, 10 winners will be selected. Nine of those customers will win $50,000 instant MMG (Mobile Money Guyana) top up while one will qualify for the grand prize accumulator draw in January 2024.

Qualification and Participation

To qualify for the grand prize draw, customers must top up their accounts with $1,000 or more, buy a mobile data plan, or pay their monthly postpaid bills on time. As an added festive twist, customers must accumulate all the letters to spell the word “GTTXmas”. Each top-up will earn the customer a letter, bringing them one step closer to the holiday magic.

Double Sundays

Every Sunday, during the promotional period (Sunday November 19 until Sunday December 31), customers get the opportunity to get double letters for each $1,000 top-up or plan purchase. For example, customers purchasing a Social 30 unlimited plan for 7500 will normally receive 12 letters (7 for top-up and 5 for the plan) but on Sundays will receive 24 letters instead (14 for top-up and 10 for the plan).

Text-to-Win

For even more chances to win, customers can text “GTTXmas” to 620-2828 to win $1 million from GTT. Each text message costs $500, providing a convenient and affordable way for participants to increase their odds of winning fabulous prizes.

50% off Selected Phones

Customers get the chance to get handsets for 50% off all season starting Monday 20th November 2023. Additionally, GTT is offering 50% off prepaid Social 30 unlimited plans with the purchase of every discounted phone. Handsets include Samsung A03 and A13 starting at only $23,000.

Grant-a-Wish

GTT is also extending the holiday spirit to children aged 8 to 12 through the “Grant a Wish” programme. Youngsters are invited to write letters with their Christmas wish list and drop them off at the specially marked Christmas boxes in GTT stores nationwide. The company will select 50 children from these letters and grant their request, “bringing smiles and joy to young hearts during the holiday season.”

Regional outreaches

GTT is spreading Christmas cheer throughout Guyana with activities in Berbice, Linden, and Bartica. By partnering with local community members, GTT aims to spread the joy of the season across the entire country. Senior Manager, Public Relations and Corporate Communications, Jasmin Harris, stated, “We are thrilled to launch the ‘Mission Christmas’ campaign and play a role in making this holiday season unforgettable for our valued customers and communities across Guyana.”  She added, “This is our way of giving back and fostering the spirit of joy and togetherness that defines the essence of a true Guyanese Christmas.”

According to GTT, its “Mission Christmas” is not just a campaign, “it’s a celebration of the holiday spirit and an opportunity for the GTT community to come together and make this festive season unforgettable. Join us in spreading joy, creating memories, and giving the gift of a magical Christmas.”
