Mastercard offers a free Hummer and free gasoline for life (for assholes)!

[Ian David]

WHAT ASSHOLES AT MASTERCARD CAME UP WITH THIS WORK OF GENIUS!!!

Yes, if you are a total fuckwad, you can have the world's most gas-guzzling car in the world and all the gasoline you could possibly want.

Please tell General Motors and Mastercard to go fuck themselves!

You can do so by taking this HarrisPolls Online marketing survey:

MasterCard's 2005 Summer Program Idea

Summertime is a time for leisure and relaxation. It’s a time to spend with family and friends on weekend getaways. From the lake to the ocean, from the mountains to the shore. Summertime is a time to pack up the car, take road trips and explore.

This summer MasterCard is making it even easier for you to get away by giving you unlimited gas fill-ups for life at any gas station nationwide. And to go along with that free gas, you will also get a new car, which will be yours to keep! Choose from any type of car within the GM family – from a Saab convertible to a Hummer H2 to a Cadillac XLR to a Suburban to a Corvette to a Chevy pickup truck.

How It Works

* Use your MasterCard between July 1 and August 31, and you are automatically entered to win.
* Every time you use your MasterCard at gas stations nationwide, you’ll receive triple entries.
* 3 Grand Prize Winners will win a new GM car and free gas for life.

6. It must leave a cookie on my hard drive

When they emailed me the link for the survey, it was coded with my HarrisOnline ID#.

The link I posted here was the survey ID# minus my personal ID#

That could be why it isn't working for you, but is working for me.

2. I must debunk this

I work for MasterCard, and there is no such promotion.

We have done some similar promotions in the past, but none involving free gas for life or GM.

4. Maybe they tailored it to my own card

All I did was copy/paste the text of their promotional offer.

Could it be that because I answered the survey and said I had a Mastercard, it automatically plugged "Mastercard" into my survey?

If I had answered that I had a Visa card, would it have said the promotion was for Visa?

3. "Free gas for life" - clearly impossible

For, as we all know, Peak Oil is here and there's not enough to last for the rest of our lives.

5. I used to own one...

most impractible vehicle I ever owned. For it's size you would imagine it would have more cargo space but it does not. Hated it after a couple of months. Found some sucker to take up payments on it and bought a pick-up. Turned out for the best since I can haul my motorcycle around in the back of my truck.

7. You could register with Harris and see if they offer you the same survey

It would be interesting to see if it changes from Mastercard to Visa, depending on what kind of credit card you tell them you have.
