From the official rules
“To enter without making a purchase, hand-write the following on a 3" x 5" card or paper: Full legal name Complete mailing address Phone number Email address Date of birth A statement reading: “I wish to enter the TMG#8 HONDA CIVIC TYPE R OR FORD FOCUS RS Giveaway and agree to the Official Rules, Changing peoples lives one car at a time.” Mail your entry to: Tuner Merch LLC P.O. Box 10 Hancocks Bridge, NJ 08038 Each valid mail-in submission equals one (1) entry. Limit: ONE (1) mail-in entry per person per calendar month during the Promotion Period. A “calendar month” is defined as 12:00 AM EST on the first day of the month through 11:59 PM EST on the last day of that month. Multiple submissions within the same calendar month, bulk mailings, automated submissions, or mechanical reproductions will not be accepted and will be discarded.”

From the fine print

What the rules say

10 notes

Disqualifiers2

Any one of these can void an entry or a win.

  • A chargeback or payment dispute on ANY purchase-based entry results in a permanent ban from this giveaway AND all future Tuner Merch giveaways -- not just removal of that purchase's entries.

    Show the rules' wording· Official Rules, How to Enter, D: General Purchase Conditions

    “Permanent ban from all current and future Sponsor giveaways and promotions”

  • All purchase-based entries are locked in via a strict no-refund/no-return policy; disputing a charge (even a legitimate one) triggers disqualification and a permanent giveaway ban, not merely loss of that entry.

    Show the rules' wording· Official Rules, How to Enter, D: General Purchase Conditions

    “ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO REFUNDS, RETURNS, EXCHANGES, OR CANCELLATIONS ARE PERMITTED FOR ANY REASON.”

Advantages2

Things in the rules that work in your favor.

  • Because the mail-in limit is "one per calendar month" rather than one total, a patient entrant can send up to three separate free mail-ins across the Aug/Sep/Oct promotion window (one per month), not just a single lifetime entry.

    Show the rules' wording· Official Rules, How to Enter, E: Free Mail-In Entry

    “Limit: ONE (1) mail-in entry per person per calendar month during the Promotion Period.”

  • A single purchaser may legally hold up to 10% of all entries/spots (currently 300 of 3,000) -- vastly outweighing the handful of entries (at most 3, one per calendar month) a free mail-in-only entrant can realistically obtain.

    Show the rules' wording· Official Rules, Entry Limits

    “Entry Limit Rules: Each entrant may only own up to 10% of the total entries/spots. Any entries exceeding this limit will be void.”

Timing2

  • The giveaway ends as soon as 3,000 total entries/spots are claimed, even before Oct 31 -- and any mail-in entry postmarked AFTER the day that cap is hit will not count in the drawing, even though entrants have no advance way to know exactly when that day will be.

    Show the rules' wording· Official Rules, How to Enter, E: Free Mail-In Entry, NOTE

    “IF THREE THOUSAND (3,000) ENTRIES/SPOTS ARE ACCUMULATED DURING THE SWEEPSTAKES PERIOD, ALL MAIL-IN ENTRIES POSTMARKED ON OR BEFORE THE DAY THE ENTRY LIMIT WAS HIT WILL BE COUNTED IN THE RANDOM DRAWING. ALL MAIL-IN ENTRIES POSTMARKED AFTER THE DAY THE ENTRY LIMIT IS HIT WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE IN THE PRIZE DRAWING.”

  • A separate, purchase-only "Bonus Giveaway Promotion" (a PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, or Meta Glasses) runs alongside TMG#8 and ends today (Sept 20, 2026); it has no free entry method and doesn't add or subtract from the car giveaway's own 3,000-entry pool.

    Show the rules' wording· tunermerch.com homepage banner

    “BONUS GIVEAWAY PROMOTION ENDS SEPTEMBER 20, 2026 AT 11:59 PM EST”

Costs1

  • Eligibility covers all 50 US states and DC, but free vehicle shipping is only explicitly guaranteed within "(49)" US states -- an eligible winner from the one excluded state could face shipping costs or logistics the Sponsor doesn't cover.

    Show the rules' wording· Official Rules, Prizes

    “Free vehicle shipping ($0) to the winner’s address within the (49) United States”

Oddities3

  • The homepage's live-looking "80% FULL / 832 people entered" progress bar is driven by a hardcoded value (`const percent = 80;`) in the page's own inline JavaScript, not a real-time database figure, so entrants cannot reliably use it to judge how close the 3,000-entry cap actually is before mailing in.

    Show the rules' wording· tunermerch.com homepage, live entry-cap progress bar (backed by a hardcoded `const percent = 80;` in the page's inline script)

    “80% FULL”

  • The Official Rules label all giveaway times "EST" (Eastern Standard Time), but every date in the Aug 26 - Oct 31, 2026 Promotion Period actually falls within Eastern Daylight Time -- treat the true postmark cutoff as 11:59 PM Eastern rather than assuming a literal UTC-5 offset.

    Show the rules' wording· Official Rules, Promotion Period

    “The GIVEAWAY ends on OCTOBER 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST, or when 3,000 total entries (“spots”) have been claimed, whichever occurs first (“Promotion Period”).”

  • The rules never say to use an envelope, but a 3x5 card is under the USPS minimum size and cannot be mailed bare. Use an envelope.
