Western Union's ethnic agents meet; holiday promotions are announced

NEW YORK - Western Union announced the details of its holiday season promotion at a meeting of Western Union ethnic agents who specialize in transferring money to Central and Eastern Europe.

This year's promotion features the Western Union Welcome Home Sweepstakes; the grand prize is a luxury trip for two to the winner's home country or another destination of choice. Western Union customers are automatically entered into the sweepstakes with each money transfer they send through December.

In addition, with every transfer, customers receive a scratch card and can win various prizes, including computers, videocameras, luggage, phone cards and discounts on the next transfer.

Western Union will also incorporate an online aspect into its promotion. Visitors to www.westernunion.com will be able to see highlights of the Welcome Home Sweepstakes and print a voucher entitling them to receive free phone time the next time they send a qualifying money transfer transaction with Western Union. Website visitors can also enter the sweepstakes online after completing a short survey.
