GGP Sends Shoppers On The Hunt To Find The Love This Valentine's Day

CHICAGO, Feb. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Looking for a little amore this Valentine's Day? If so, General Growth Properties (NYSE: GGP) challenges shoppers to power up their mobile devices to search for the love at a GGP mall. Beginning February 1, customers can enter the Where Is the Love? sweepstakes by finding and scanning love-themed QR codes hidden throughout participating GGP malls.

For two weeks through February 14, hearts, cupids and red lips embedded with QR codes will adorn different areas of the mall. Each day during the promotion, when a shopper locates and scans one of the QR codes, they are instantly entered for a chance to win one of 30 $10 Shop Etc. Mall Gift Cards that will be awarded every day.

The Where Is the Love? sweepstakes grand prize is a seven-day, six-night vacation for two to Kauai, Hawaii. This romantic dream vacation takes the winners to the new Kauai Marriott Resort on Kalapaki Beach to experience the island's natural beauty and carefree ambiance.
