ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Card Services for Credit Unions, the association of credit unions which process their credit card transactions with Fidelity National Information Services, has announced a sweepstakes which will send a CU employee to the summer Olympics in Beijing.

The association is offering the sweepstakes in conjunction with Visa USA and it will run in February and March. The winner will be an employee from the participating credit union which shows both the greatest increase in average credit card usage over the same two months last year and the greatest overall increase in usage over the same period, the association explained.

"We wanted to make it as fair as possible and to let the CUs which had 1,500 accounts have as much a chance as the CUs with 50,000 accounts," explained Cassie Ricks, communications manager for CSCU.

Ricks estimated the value of the prize to be more than $40,000 since it includes airfare and accommodations, ground transportation, an appearance with athletes that Visa sponsors, meals, tickets to Olympic events, a multi-lingual tour guide and local touring in the Beijing area.
