Customers can join MTN Prestige by dialing *180#, then purchase any Prestige Combo bundle, including data, voice, or a custom bundle, via the My MTN App or USSD *180*21#. Every purchase made during the campaign period automatically enters the customer into a draw to win one of the coveted prizes.

Every month, one winner will be randomly selected to receive a round-trip economy ticket to any Turkish Airlines destination of their choice. The ticket covers airfare and associated taxes for the selected route and remains valid for travel for one year from the date of issue. However, the prize does not include expenses such as visas, travel insurance, accommodation, airport transfers, or meals, which will be the responsibility of the winner. Once a booking is confirmed with Turkish Airlines, travel dates and destinations will remain fixed. The tickets are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash or alternative prizes.
Winners will be contacted directly by MTN Uganda through its official call center number, 0312120000. If a winner does not respond within three business days, the prize will be forfeited and another winner will be selected.
