2-22 in Valletta was the venue for the HSBC Cardmania 5 quiz, in which 10 HSBC cardholders competed to win one of 10 prizes.

All HSBC credit and debit cardholders who used their cards for purchases of over Lm10 between last December and January automatically qualified for with the 10 finalists being randomly drawn.

During the quiz, hosted by DJ Gianni, the participants were asked to answer a set of multiple choice questions on sport, cinema, geography and general knowledge and then assigned a prize according to their score.

While the scores were being tallied, competitors and their guests were treated to great wine and finger food at 2-22.

The prizes, made available by Forestals Ltd, went to Maria Baldacchino, of Marsascala (LG Plasma TV), Simone Gili (HP Notebook), Hilda Muscat-Doublesin (HP Personal Computer), Ian Cuschieri (Sony LCD TV), and Josephine Formosa (Kitchenaid coffee maker).

Mary Grace Bonnici won a Sony Playstation 3; a Sony Camcorder went to Judith Camilleri; and Mary Rose Azzopardi won a Sony digital camera. Josephine Scorfna and Godfrey Leone-Ganado both won a Playstation Portable.

"This is the fifth Cardmania campaign HSBC has organised for customers to further promote the convenience and ease of use of credit and debit cards for promote transactions during a time of the year associated with substantial shopping," said Godfrey Swain, head of personal financial services at HSBC, who also presented the prizes.
