From now through the end of September, visitors to Branson, Missouri, will be rewarded with a free Gas Buster discount card, accepted at dozens of live shows, attractions, lodging properties, retail shops and restaurants. It’s worth a total of $50 off regular prices. In addition, visitors will be eligible to win $100 gas voucher cards and a grand prize trip to Branson.

The Branson/Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce and Convention & Visitors Bureau will give a Gas Buster discount card to anyone who presents a valid drivers’ license and a minimum of $40 in gas receipts incurred within 48 hours of their arrival at one of the chamber’s two welcome centers. Gas Buster card holders will be automatically entered to win one of 22 weekly drawings for a $100 gas card and the grand prize 4 day/3 night vacation for four to Branson, which will be awarded on September 30, 2006.

The Gas Buster promotion was created to welcome summertime visitors, while offsetting some of the costs to get to Branson, a major drive destination located in southwest Missouri on Table Rock Lake near the Arkansas border.

Gas Buster discount cards, rules for participation, and the accompanying list of sponsors will only be issued from the two chamber/welcome centers, which are open Monday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
