Contest: Last Minute Online Shopping with GCash AMEX

Everyone’s rushing for their last minute shopping and a lot of people are doing it online. I still have some funds left in my GCash AMEX Virtual Card after Black Friday and Cyber Monday a few weeks back so I used it to purchase 3 Google Chromecast that we can give away to our readers.

We’re giving these away to 3 lucky GCash AMEX users (if you’re not enrolled yet, it’s free to register and get one AMEX Virtual Card here).

Here’s how to win one of these:

1) Just share the last 4 digits of your Globe number on Twitter or FB and complete this line — “I’m a #GCashAMEX user and my last 4 digits are 1234. You too can win a Google Chromecast here http://yugatech.ph/gcashamex

2) We will randomly generate 4 numbers and anyone who gets matched with those digits will win. That easy.

Of course, we’ll call or text you based on the last 4 digits you shared.

Once the Google Chromecast arrives from Amazon, we’ll hand them over to you!
