Win Your Dream International Trip By Shopping In Brissy CBD—Here’s How

If you’ve ever dreamt of strolling the cobblestone streets à la Emily in Paris, following in Carrie Bradshaw’s footsteps or living it large like Bridget Jones, now’s your chance. 

Thanks to QueensPlaza and Uptown Brisbane, a little retail therapy in Brisbane CBD could have you boarding a flight to your dream destination. 

Right now, the centres are giving away an international getaway for two to one of these three shopping capitals of the world: Paris, New York City or London.

The best part? You can nab an entry simply by refreshing your wardrobe at your favourite stores like Rebecca Vallance, Aje, Scanlan Theodore and Zimmermann at QueensPlaza and Sheike, Jo Mercer and Strandbags at Uptown Brisbane.

Keep reading for everything you need to know to win the trip of a lifetime. Bonne chance!  

The Prize

As far as grand prizes go, this one is hard to beat. The winner will score a luxury trip for two to their pick of NYC, London or Paris. The boujee package includes premium economy return airfares, five nights of luxury accommodation and a generous $5,000 spending spree.

Basically, it’s your golden ticket to a mega retail blowout at one of the world’s most iconic retail strips, from Fifth Avenue to Oxford Street and the legendary Champs-Élysées. Whether you’re hunting down vintage gems or scouting designer finds, these iconic fashion capitals are packed with stores you could spend all day in.

Then, lose track of time in world-class galleries, wander into late-night jazz bars, and refuel at top-notch restaurants. The hardest part will be picking where to go. 

Even if you don’t snag the grand prize, there’s still plenty to play for. A minor prize draw will see lucky winners score a share of $10,000 worth of centre gift cards and an exclusive lineup of other goodies to be won.

How To Enter

Entering couldn’t be easier. A quick shopping trip through QueensPlaza or Uptown Brisbane between Thursday 9 April, from 9am and Wednesday 5 May, until 11.59pm could see you winning big. 

Spend $200 or more at participating stores in-centre, sign up to the centre e-Newsletter, and enter the competition to go into the draw to win the international shopping getaway. 

Score A Free Macaron

For a little extra incentive, both centres are hosting a Paris-inspired pop-up. At QueensPlaza, you can find the pop-up on the Ground Floor between Gucci and Balenciaga. While at Uptown Brisbane, the pop-up is located on Level Q, near Prouds. 

To sweeten the deal, this weekend at Uptown Brisbane, shoppers who have spent $200 or more in one day and can show their valid receipt/s can also pick up a complimentary macaron while stocks last—to which we say oui, oui.

To bag a macaron, roll in on staffed days at Uptown Brisbane: Saturday 17 April, 11.30am–5.30pm and Sunday 18 April, 11am–5pm.
