JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., May 18, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Missouri Division of Tourism is offering a summer travel promotion starting May 16th offering discounts at hundreds of participating attractions, restaurants and lodging facilities across Missouri. Through a partnership with McDonald's, the promotion, aptly named Road Trip Rewards, targets the key demographic of travelers who travel to and around Missouri by car.
Missouri is known as a "driving destination," because of its short drivable distance to a majority of the states in the union and because Missourians themselves make up a large percentage of state travel. Road Trip Rewards offers discounts at the place where the bulk of driving travelers find themselves—McDonald's restaurants. Providing coupons through McDonald's allows for a high rate of fulfillment for the Missouri Division of Tourism and simple convenience for the traveler.
"This partnership gives us the ability to reach nearly 65 million McDonald's customers this summer, at the 411 McDonald's restaurants across Missouri," said Katie Steele Danner, Director of the Missouri Division of Tourism. So how do you access the savings? "For the traveler," she added, "it's as easy as 1-2-3."
-
Go to RoadTripRewards.com to find a list of participating businesses throughout Missouri and the details on what "Reward(s)" they are offering. Search for a deal by city or attraction category. No need to print or take the listing from the website, but search while on the road, as RoadTripRewards.com is accessible from any Internet friendly device including mobile phones and tablets.
-
Stop by any McDonald's restaurant in Missouri and make a purchase. Here is the key: Save the McDonalds receipt. The back of the McDonald's receipt is the coupon. Coupons will appear on the back of McDonald's receipts from May 16 thru Aug. 31, 2011.
- Visit any participating attraction or business and turn-in your McDonalds receipt to reap the reward(s).
Remember, the McDonalds receipt is the coupon. Look for the "We Gladly Accept Road Trip Rewards" placard on the door or counter of participating attractions and businesses.
The attraction or business will collect your McDonald's receipt upon redemption. Some "Rewards" are good beyond Aug. 31, so read the listing on RoadTripRewards.com closely.
With Road Trip Rewards, the Missouri Division of Tourism offers an easy way for travelers to save money on summer fun.
