Jason Mayer, a fireman from Ladder 17 in San Antonio, Texas, and his wife Dana, were originally married in September of 2009. Dana, an Air Force officer, was deployed to Afghanistan for 10 months immediately following their wedding, ultimately ending their chances at a honeymoon. Jason, an avid gamer and a PowerUp Rewards member, was last year’s lucky recipient of an all expense paid trip for two to Rome, Florence and Tuscany for the Assassin’s Creed® Brotherhood GameStop® Epic Reward Giveaway™.

“Ubisoft and GameStop made our year by creating a once in a lifetime honeymoon opportunity for the two of us,” said Jason. “Imagine walking in the footsteps of Ezio and seeing all the real-life scenes the creators used in the game. It was unbelievable. Certainly something we’ll never forget!”

Assassin’s Creed fans have another opportunity at a GameStop® Epic Reward Giveaway™ this November. In celebration of Assassin's Creed® Revelations, PowerUp Rewards is offering members the chance to win the following:

  • Their likeness represented as a video game character in the next Assassin's Creed game.
  • Trip for two to Ubisoft’s Montreal studio for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour.
  • Exclusive one of a kind Assassin's Creed gear.

To be eligible to enter, members must make a purchase or trade at their local GameStop or on www.GameStop.com during Nov. 2011.
