INTRODUCTION:
Mr. Rebates is sponsoring the "Countdown to Christmas 2010" contest (the "Contest") with
approximately five $100 bonus prizes given per day to random
eligible entrants.
ELIGIBILITY:
The Contest is only open to residents of the
United States (excluding Florida,
New York and Rhode Island citizens) who are 18 years
of age, or the age of majority by law, or older at time of entry. This
contest is void
where prohibited by law. Furthermore, No Purchase is Necessary
for this contest. See
the bottom of these contest rules for directions on the manual entry procedure.
Further eligibility restrictions
not defined above are as such:
An "eligible
member" must have a registered account at Mr. Rebates and be logged
into that account.
An "eligible
member" must not be employees of Mr. Rebates or its affiliates,
subsidiaries, participating advertising or promotion agencies.
An "eligible
member" must be a resident of the United States (excluding Florida,
New York and Rhode Island citizens)
who is 18 years of age, or the age of majority by law, or older at
time of entry.
An "eligible
member" must click-through to a Mr. Rebates' listed store, coupon,
product search listing or store banner ad. A Mr. Rebates
listed store is any store included within the Mr. Rebates website.
This constitutes the definition of a "store click-through".
An "eligible member" must have at least one
purchase/rebate present in their Mr. Rebates account to be eligible
to win on a "store click-through".
An "eligible
member" only gets a random chance to win on their first 25 "store
click-throughs" per calendar day as determined by the Mr. Rebates'
web server clock in Eastern Standard Time.
If an
"eligible member" does win a prize, they are no longer an
"eligible member" for the duration of the contest.
Any attempt
to earn multiple entries through multiple "non-unique" accounts will
be IMMEDIATELY DISQUALIFIED for the contest at Mr. Rebates' full
discretion.
TIMING:
This Contest begins on 12:00 AM EST November 26th, 2010 and ends at
11:59 PM EST on December 24th, 2010.
CRITERIA FOR
WINNING THE CONTEST:
A valid "store click-through" from an "eligible member" will have
the potential to win a $100 bonus prize determined by a random contest
algorithm. If the "store click-through" is selected as a
winner by the algorithm, the "eligible member" will be notified with
a winning landing page and a $100 bonus will be automatically added
to their Mr. Rebates' account. If a non "eligible member" is selected as a winner as
governed by the eligibility restrictions, a new "eligible member"
for that day will be selected by the random winning algorithm.
PRIZES:
The prize(s) for the Contest consists of
a daily batch of approximately five $100 prizes given randomly to "eligible
members".
Each prize
cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotion or offer. No
substitute or transfer of prizes is permitted. Expenses not
specifically stated are the sole responsibility of the winner.
Return of any prize/prize notification as undeliverable may result
in the disqualification and selection of an alternate winner. Prizes
are non-transferable by winner.
If fraud or
any type of tampering is detected in the sole determination of Mr.
Rebates, the individual prize can be voided and removed from the
offending Mr. Rebates' account.
