Singapore Changi Airport and Jewel Changi Airport have launched a year-long shopping campaign with the chance for passengers to win S$1m and a Porsche Macan.
Every purchase a passenger makes is a gateway to rewards, as the year-long shopping promotion ‘Be a Changi Millionaire’ returns for its 11th installment, with more prizes up for grabs. Teaming up once again with the German sports car brand Porsche, 2023’s campaign, themed ‘All the luck in the world, now in Changi’, features a grand prize of S$1m (US$750,000) and a Porsche Macan, which retails at about S$270,000 (US$200,000) (excluding the Certificate of Entitlement).
To enter the grand draw, shoppers need to spend S$50 in a single transaction at Changi or Jewel, or online at Changi’s e-commerce portal iShopChangi. To boost their winning odds, passengers can shop on iShopChangi and check out using Changi’s e-wallet Changi Pay. This will earn customers four additional chances to win the grand prizes.
Shoppers and diners also get the opportunity to win prizes, including S$1,000 (US$750) cash daily, S$3,000 (US$2,200) worth of Jewel vouchers and a pair of air tickets every month. Destinations include places such as Bhutan, Egypt, Turkey, Ethiopia, Fiji, New Caledonia, Australia and Korea.
