“Multiple Bonus Mail-In Periods: Excludes Quick Picks . During specified Multiple Merchandise offers, mail-in entries must follow the aforementioned mail-in entry submission procedure plus: (i) handwrite 10X, to 100X that corresponds to the Sponsor’s announced Merchandise multiplier bonus opportunity; (ii) provide the Bonus Multiple Date (“Bonus Date”) for the specific Merchandise given at the multiplier offer; (iii) include the product name of the featured Merchandise item or if the Multiplier is offered on all Merchandise, name one (1) of the Merchandise items; (iv) must include the price of the multiplier Merchandise item.

From the fine print
What the rules say
Disqualifiers4
Any one of these can void an entry or a win.
Bonus mail-ins need four handwritten items on the front lower left of the envelope (multiplier, Bonus Date, a product name, its price) and a postmark inside the announced Bonus Entry Period, otherwise the card earns only 25 entries.
Show the rules' wordingHide the wording· How to Enter, method 3
“The postmark date must correspond to the announced Bonus Entry Period dates, or the mail-in Entry receives only Twenty-Five (25) Entries.”
Typed, computer-generated or mechanically reproduced cards and envelopes are not accepted; a rubber-stamped or printed return-address label voids the entry; a card not inside a business-size envelope is void; the return address must be hand-printed; postage-due mail is disqualified.

“Rubber stamped, or commercial printed return address labels will void the Entry. Each correctly submitted envelope receives Twenty-Five (25) Entries into the Sweepstakes drawing. Cards mailed without being inserted in a business size envelope are voided.”
Mail-in card and envelope must be hand-printed by the participant only; no third-party organization may help; each envelope mailed individually; bulk shipments refused.

“The Mail-in Entry card and envelope must be hand printed by the Participant only.”
A potential winner who cannot be reached or does not respond within 2 calendar days of notification is disqualified; the Affidavit, W-9 and release are due in 3 days (a passport, license or birth certificate copy and a Social Security number may be required).

Advantages4
Things in the rules that work in your favor.
A person's total is capped at 25,000 entries across all methods, which is 1,000 plain mail-ins at 25 entries each; a mailer can therefore reach the same cap as the biggest buyer. Over-cap consequences are not stated.
Show the rules' wordingHide the wording· How to Enter
“LIMIT: Twenty-Five Thousand (25,000) total Entries per Participant regardless of method of Entry.”
A plain mail-in is worth 25 entries; the purchase rate is 1 entry per $1 (so a mail-in equals $25 of merch), but during a Multiplier Special the same $1 earns 10X to 100X (the site shows 30X now).

“Each correctly submitted envelope receives Twenty-Five (25) Entries into the Sweepstakes drawing.”
A $40,000 cash prize can be taken instead of the vehicle (the $10,000 cash check is separate in the vehicle prize; the cash option excludes any other cash offers).
Show the rules' wordingHide the wording· Prize
“Cash Prize Option: A cash prize substitution option of $40,000 cash in the form of a check is available in lieu of the Vehicle Prize.”
Eligible: the 48 contiguous states and D.C., age 18+ (19+ in Alabama and Nebraska, 21+ in Mississippi); employees' families and household members of the sponsor, Administrator and others are excluded.

If the Winner chooses to have the Vehicle delivery towed, not driven to the Winner’s location, the Winner may be required to cover the towing fee.”
Oddities9
The rules never say how many entries a qualifying bonus mail-in earns (only that it qualifies for 'Bonus Entries'), nor what the 'Bonus Multiple Date' is; the sponsor's site now shows a 30X countdown with no date, product or price to copy.

The postmark deadline, Oct 11, 2026, is a Sunday, and the rules say a Sunday or holiday postmark date must be postmarked on the following business day (Mon Oct 12), after the stated deadline; received-by is Oct 16. To be safe, get it postmarked by hand at a counter by Sat Oct 10.

Prize value conflict: the rules value the Z06 at KBB $70,000 plus $10,000 cash (pool $80,000), but the footer disclaimer on the same page says $78,000 and $88,000 (the Cadillac figures from Giveaway #7). The recorded values follow the rules section.
