Happy New Year 2012

A Happy New Year to all our fans and friends! May 2012 be a wonderful one for all despite the economic outlook (it is just an outlook so situation can be better. Stay optimistic)

In this month’s ISE Blog (www.isecard.com), one lucky ISE Cardholder will be able to win a 6 stop Flexi Pass on any Busabout route through Europe from May-October 2012 (http://blog.isecard.com/ ). As a reminder, this is a discount regarding a great hop-on, hop-off bus service with a wide variety of routes and flexible schedules to suite students’ individual interests. The regular cost of this pass is normally $538 USD so we are very excited to be able to make this offer to ISE Cardholders! To enter, students simply need to take the “How well do you know Busabout” quiz (http://files.quizsnack.com/iframe/embed.html?hash=fd6f7bc267308f7ba13bdb895q170408&wmode=window&bgcolor=EEEEEE&t=1323809379 )and then send their name, ISE Card number and e-mail address to: contest@isecard.com All entries must be received by January 14th (very soon) and a random drawing from all eligible entries will then be made January 16th. The winner will be announced sometime in February and will receive a confirmation e-mail from ISE. Please make sure to tell your ISE Cardholders about this great opportunity! We don’t want them to miss-out on a chance to win. If you have any trouble accessing my links or need further information about this promotion, just let me know and I will be happy to get back to you.

Have a look at the Busabout website for clues! (www.busabout.com ).

Another item I would like to bring your attention to this week is a program in which students can get 10% off on select gap year or volunteer programs when they mention their ISE Card while booking. Currently ISE has an agreement with Real Gap which offers work abroad, adventure travel, volunteer, sports, and high adrenaline experiences. The idea is that students’ can try something different and expand their horizons as they see the world and embark on an exciting new endeavor. For more information about Real Gap and the types of activities they offer, please go to: http://www.realgap.co.uk/

Now that the new year is upon us, we would like to wish all of you the best of luck. Cheers

PS And wishing all our Chinese friends a Happy Lunar New Year and for all do enjoy the festive hols too. Don't drink and drive!
