Citadel Credit Union has awarded 15 members cash prizes totaling $10,000 as part of its first annual Credit Card Spend & Get Sweepstakes.

The Spend & Get Sweepstakes, which ran from June 15 through Aug. 31, provided members a chance to win cash just by using their Citadel credit card for everyday spending. For every 10 purchases members made with their card, an entry was made into the contest on their behalf.

Five first place prizes of $1,000 and 10 second place prizes of $500 were awarded to randomly chosen members from everyone who was entered.

“It’s just a small gesture on our part to let our members know that we appreciate their business and encourage them to continue to use their Citadel credit card,” said John Egan, Loan Product Manager at Citadel Credit Union. “Some of the winners have been Citadel members for over 30 years, and it felt great to be able to give something back to them.”

The winners span multiple counties throughout the Greater Philadelphia area. Each winning member was contacted via phone and e-mail and were pleasantly surprised when they heard the news.

“I honestly didn’t believe it at first, but once I heard the voicemail from John, I got so excited,” said one of the grand prize winners. “This is awesome!”

The next Citadel Spend & Get Sweepstakes will take place in the spring of 2024, so card holding members can look forward to having another shot at winning some extra cash next year. All you need is any Citadel credit card to participate in the contest.
