A SHOPPING centre in Uxbridge is helping shoppers fight the credit crunch by hosting 'Money Back Month'.

From this week up until October 31, shoppers have the chance to win cash prizes ranging from £5 to £1,000.

Customers at the Mall Pavilions who spend more than £50 in any combination of stores are invited to take their receipts to the Ask Me information point and try their luck at winning some money.

To claim one of the prizes which total £10,000 they must spin a tombola drum and select a 'peel and reveal' game card.

36 shoppers each day can win prizes of £5, £10, or £50 with one lucky shopper able to win an instant prize of £1,000.

Unsuccessful entrants will also be bale to enter a free prize draw to win £1,000.

John Palmer, general manager at the Mall Pavilions, said: "We want to reward our shoppers and put money back in their pockets with a promotion that is easy, instant and fun.

"Money Back Month is our way of saying 'thank you' to customers and adding a little extra excitement to their shopping trip.

"Everyone likes to test their luck and we have kept the activity simple with prizes that no one can resist and lots of winners."

All prizes will be awarded as 'Spend me' cards which can be redeemed at any store in the Pavilions.
