When is Promotion countable?

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.
