SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. --  Are you ready to test your MatchUP skills again this summer? Beginning June 1 and continuing through the month of August, Air Mobility Command personnel and their family members are encouraged to see how they match up.

"MatchUP is AMC's summertime program where participants can win some great prizes by simply participating in various activities at their base," stated Col. Benjamin Trotter, Chief, Services Operations Division (AMC) Services. "It's a tremendous opportunity to reward our Airmen and their families for all their hard work and, at the same time, help introduce them to the many benefits of base life," stated Colonel Trotter.

This year's program will award more than 12,000 prizes in just 90 days. The top three prizes will be big cash, which always seems to be popular. MatchUp also offers interactive play and more guaranteed prizes for each AMC installation. Each week registered participants can compete for randomly selected guaranteed weekly cash prizes at their base. In addition, several AMC guard and reserve units are joining in on the fun and will also have a guaranteed weekly cash winner. Each base will also have five guaranteed cash winners at the conclusion of the program.

Services coupons will also be offered as instant prizes when registering game pieces online at www.amcmatchup.com. Online coupons will give the recipient their choice of six options to redeem at various Services facilities.

What is MatchUp? Based on the old TV game "Concentration," MatchUP is a web-based program in which participants attempt to match up various symbols in the fewest number of turns and in the fastest time. "We're really excited to offer another summer of AMC MatchUP fun and excitement," said Scott Black, AMC marketing director. "Everyone is so intently focused on completing the mission and it's a great feeling to play a small part in helping them spend time with their families ... and possibly win some awesome prizes."

MatchUp is an interactive program designed to help increase awareness and participation in Air Force programs, services and activities. Players receive game pieces for participating in MatchUp designated events. Each game piece is worth an entry into the grand prize drawings and is also your ticket to try your luck playing MatchUp. Players register their game pieces online at www.amcmatchup.com or utilize the toll-free MatchUp hotline at 1-888-597-9960.

Your participation in MatchUp can help your base win thousands of dollars towards improving the quality of life at your installation. Thanks to program sponsors USAA, Coca-Cola, Dell and Tyson Foods, AMC's MatchUp program will award more cash and prizes than any program in the history of AMC.

Each AMC installation will offer a variety of programs, activities and services wherein participants can earn/receive MatchUp game pieces. Contact your local base Services Marketing Office for more information on MatchUp at your installation.
