Gold Rush on Facebook - Test Your Trading Skills for the Chance to Win Solid Gold Bullion
LONDON, July 7, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
The Great American Express Gold Rush Facebook Game has a Prize
Fund Worth Over GBP20,000
Today, American Express(R) launches 'The Great American Express Gold
Rush', the UK's first ever fantasy gold trading game on Facebook that has a
prize fund of over GBP20,000, including solid gold bullion worth GBP10,000.
To celebrate the rich rewards offered by The American Express Preferred
Rewards Gold Card, this brand new game capitalises on the fact that gold has
never been more valuable, and will pit players of all levels against each
other with daily trading challenges that span a month-long period.

Within the game, which can be found at http://www.amexgoldrush.co.uk,
players will travel the world visiting well known destinations with the task
of buying and selling gold for profit. At the start of the game, players can
invest in a variety of gold items including chains, rings, coins and bars
before jetting between London, Paris, Dubai, Mexico City, Sydney and New
York to trade their stock and make a profit. Players will also collect
rewards points as they spend and trade.
In each city, local news stories influence the price of gold, so players
must use their skills to make the right trading choices. Profits are
accumulated during each daily game and players will receive a daily ranking
based on the amount of profit they accrue. The player with the highest
ranking at the end of the day will be awarded a fantastic prize inspired by
the Preferred Rewards Gold Card. Whilst wise decision making could see
players reach the top of the leader board, savvy trading is a must, as a
host of random events will change the game in the blink of an eye.
At the end of the 30 day competition, which closes at 23.59 on 5th
August 2011, the smartest (and the luckiest) player with the largest
individual daily profit will walk away with solid gold bullion worth
approximately GBP10,000.
The line-up of prizes includes:
- Solid gold bullion worth GBP10,000
- Return flights to New York and a number of top European
destinations
- Return train tickets to Paris
- Two night stays at a top London hotel
- Tables for two at some of London's most iconic restaurants
- State-of-the-art digital cameras
Richard Harris, Vice President and Head of Card Acquisition at American
Express, comments: "We are thrilled to be launching 'The Great American
Express Gold Rush' game. This is a first for American Express and has been
designed as a fun and engaging way to compete with friends, family and other
Facebook users. The game taps into people's competitive side and with the
possibility of winning real gold bullion, the stakes are high. There has
never been a better time to reap the rewards of gold and the game allows us
to showcase the benefits of The Preferred Rewards Gold Card, highlighting
how easily Cardmembers can transform spending into real travel rewards."
