Things in the rules that work in your favor.

• Free postcard is worth 5 entries, the same as a $5 purchase, and the rules set no limit on the number of postcards other than the overall 2,500-entry cap per entrant across all methods (500 postcards at the base 5 entries). A mailer can reach the same cap as the biggest buyer.

  Show the rules' wordingHide the wording· sec. 3C

  “Regardless of the method of entry, there is a limit of two thousand five hundred (2,500) entries per Entrant during the Sweepstakes Period.”

• Optional markings on the postcard multiply the 5 base entries: writing MULTIPLIER bottom right is 5x, and writing Double bottom middle is another 2x. The rules do not say whether the two stack by addition or multiplication, so the resulting count (25, 35 or 50 per card) is not stated; the 2,500 cap still applies.

  Show the rules' wordingHide the wording· sec. 3C

  “To receive five times (5x) entries, hand write “MULTIPLIER” in the bottom righthand corner of the postcard. To receive another two times (2x) entries, hand write “Double” in the bottom middle of the postcard.”

• Cash option: the winner may opt in to take $20,000 cash instead of the car. The sponsor may also give $135,000 cash if the vehicle becomes unavailable.

  “Grand Prize Winner may opt-in to select $20,000 cash in lieu of the vehicle.”

• Minimum age is 18 (19 in Alabama and Nebraska, 21 in Mississippi). The pool is the 50 states and DC with no state exclusions listed.

• Rules reserve extra entries for non-purchase actions (registering, e-mail/SMS signup, newsletter or rewards program) but publish no entry counts, and the sponsor's sweepstakes and bonus pages list none on 2026-10-01.

• The postmark deadline (Dec 14) falls one day AFTER the sweepstakes ends (Dec 13, 11:59:59 p.m. PT), and receipt is allowed up to Dec 19. The drawing is only from entries 'received during the Sweepstakes Period', so a postcard that arrives after Dec 13 may not be eligible even though the AMOE accepts it. Mail early enough to arrive by Dec 13 to be safe.

  Show the rules' wordingHide the wording· sec. 3C vs secs. 1 and 4

  “Entries must be postmarked by December 14, 2026 and received by December 19, 2026.”

• The drawing clause counts only entries received during the Sweepstakes Period (ends Dec 13), but the mail-in clause accepts entries received up to Dec 19.

  “There will be one (1) random drawing held on or about December 22, 2026 to select one (1) grand prize winner (the “Grand Prize Winner”) from among all eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period.”

• The postcard asks only for first name, last name and e-mail. It has no street address, phone or date of birth. Winner notification goes to 'a contact source provided at the time of registration', which for a mail-in entrant can only be the e-mail on the card, so a wrong or unread e-mail would lose a win.

  Show the rules' wordingHide the wording· secs. 3C and 6

  “Grand Prize Winner will be notified via a contact source provided at the time of registration within forty-eight (48) hours of the drawing date.”

• Entry PO Box 428 and winners-list PO Box 458 are both in Newark, NY 14513. Do not mix them up; entries go to 428.

• The cash alternative the winner can choose ($20,000) is far below the car's stated value ($135,000), so the choice is not a like-for-like cash prize.

  “Grand Prize Winner may opt-in to select $20,000 cash in lieu of the vehicle.”

• Gift cards: buying a gift card earns 1 entry per $1, yet using a gift card is not a qualifying purchase, while a later clause says the dollar amount spent includes use of a gift card. The rules contradict themselves on gift cards.

  Show the rules' wordingHide the wording· sec. 3A

  “Also, Entrants will receive one (1) entry for every $1 purchase on a gift card; however, use of a gift card to purchase is NOT a qualifying purchase.”

• Eligibility in the rules is limited to 'legal permanent United States residents'; the sponsor's pages say 'legal US resident'. The rules govern, and the stricter reading excludes non-permanent visa holders.

  “Open to legal permanent United States residents of the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia who are eighteen (18) years of age or older (except as follows: nineteen (19) years of age or older in Alabama and Nebraska; twenty-one (21) years of age or older in Mississippi) as of the date of entry (the “Entrant”).”

  “Random drawing will be conducted by an independent third party, whose decisions are based upon its sole discretion and interpretation of these Official Rules and are final and binding in all respects.”
