If you play your cards right you could get (a) promotion. both are right because I found them in dictionaries. when is promotion used with 'a' or not? without 'a', promotion means just moving to a higher position itself? with 'a', is the meaning made more specific something like a position, a job or a title? I don't know what is what.
