"L.L.Bean Visa cardmembers use their card on everyday purchases, from gas to groceries to automatic bill pay," said Tim Record, Director of the L.L.Bean Visa Card program. "Thanks to our Here There EVERYWHERE Giveaway, one lucky cardmember turned an everyday food purchase into $250,000 -- simply by choosing to use his L.L.Bean Visa Card."

The Here There EVERYWHERE Giveaway ran from June 27 to Dec. 31, 2014, and cardmembers automatically received entries in the giveaway each time they used their L.L.Bean Visa card issued by Barclaycard US for purchases. There was no limit to the number of entries and no minimum purchase was required. Entries accumulated, so the more cardmembers used their card, the more chances they had to win.

"Our cardmembers loved the added fun of a chance to win $250,000 with every purchase made – as well as this giveaway's simplicity with no entry forms to complete or codes to remember," said Susan Schmidt, head of retail partnerships at Barclaycard US.
