6. Entry limits and winner limits

You may enter multiple times, including across multiple participating retailers, with each eligible in store purchase.

You can only win one daily prize during the Promotion period. If you have already won a daily prize, any of your remaining entries will stay in the pool for the major prize draw, but you will not be eligible to be selected again as a daily winner.

For clarity:

  • Your entries remain eligible for the major prize draw even if you have already won a daily prize.
  • A person may only receive one daily voucher credit in total for the month.

7. Prizes

Daily prize

Each day of the Promotion period, one winner will be drawn to receive an in store credit valued at $50, redeemable at one participating retailer of the winner’s choice (Daily Prize).

The Daily Prize is issued as a store credit or voucher mechanism determined by the selected participating retailer (for example, a voucher code, gift card, credit note, or in store account credit).

Major prize

At the end of the Promotion period, one winner will be drawn to receive a $1350 shopping spree, made up of 27 $50 vouchers from each participating business.

Unless otherwise stated on the entry page, the Major Prize will be provided as vouchers or credits to be spent at participating retailers, with the allocation and format determined by the Promoter in consultation with participating retailers.

8. Draws and selection process

Daily draws

  • Cut off: 4.45 pm (NZ time) each day.
  • Draw time: approximately 5.00 pm (NZ time) each day.
  • Selection method: random draw from all eligible entries received up to the daily cut off time, excluding entries from anyone who has already won a daily prize.

Major prize draw

  • The major prize draw will be held after the Promotion ends, on a date and time set by the Promoter and published on the entry page.
  • Selection method: random draw from all eligible entries received during the Promotion period.

The Promoter’s decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.

9. Winner notification

Daily winners will be notified automatically using the contact details provided in their entry, typically by email.

Major prize winner notification will be by email and or phone.

It is your responsibility to provide correct contact details and to monitor your inbox, including junk or spam folders.

10. Claiming and choosing your daily prize retailer

Daily winners have 30 days from the date they are notified to select the participating retailer they want the $50 credit from.

If you do not select a participating retailer within 30 days, the Daily Prize may be forfeited at the Promoter’s discretion.

Once you choose your retailer, the Promoter will arrange delivery of the voucher or credit mechanism. Timing may vary depending on the retailer’s processes.

11. Prize conditions

  • Prizes are not transferable, not exchangeable, and not redeemable for cash.
  • Prizes must be used in accordance with the terms set by the issuing participating retailer (for example, expiry dates, excluded products, or redemption steps). Any such retailer terms are additional to these Terms and Conditions.
  • Any additional costs associated with claiming or using a prize (for example, travel costs, parking, or any spend above the voucher value) are your responsibility.
  • If a prize or part of a prize becomes unavailable for reasons outside the Promoter’s control, the Promoter may substitute it with a prize of similar value.

12. Verification and disqualification

The Promoter may require proof of identity and or proof of eligibility to claim a prize. If you do not provide requested proof within a reasonable time, you may be disqualified.

The Promoter may disqualify any entry that is incomplete, false, fraudulent, automated, duplicated in a misleading way, or not submitted in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

13. Errors and technical issues

The Promoter is not responsible for entries not received due to technical issues, including QR code scanning issues, network outages, form errors, or email delivery problems.

If the Promotion cannot run as planned due to events beyond the Promoter’s reasonable control, the Promoter may suspend, cancel, or modify the Promotion, subject to any applicable legal requirements.

14. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Promoter and participating retailers are not liable for any loss, damage, or injury arising from or in connection with the Promotion or any prize, including use of a prize.
