Only reviews posted using the hyperlink provided in a Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, and/or Athleta brand email inviting you to complete a product review will qualify. Any product review posted through other means, including but not limited to, posting a product review directly from a product page without following the hyperlink provided from the initial email, or submitting comments through the “feedback” portal operated by Opinionlab on any brand website, will not qualify.
In addition, to receive a Sweepstake entry, the content of the review must be (a) relevant to the product it is submitted for, (b) contain your honest feedback, (c) contain the badge “sweepstakes entry” (which should be automatically added when you follow the proper hyperlink to make the review), and (d) posted within the Promotion Period. There is no requirement that the rating or review be a positive endorsement. For each qualifying review you post, you will receive one (1) entry into the applicable Monthly Entry Period drawing.
(b) Enter without Purchase or Writing a Review: To enter without making a purchase or writing a review, hand print your name, address, phone number, valid email address, and date of birth on a piece of paper and mail it in an envelope with proper postage to “Gap CA Rating & Review Sweepstakes May 2024 - April 2025,” c/o Merkle Inc., 1690 Huron Church Road, #302 Windsor, Ontario, N9C 0A9. You must also identify the Monthly Entry Period for which you would like to receive an entry by including the name of the month on the front of the envelope. If your envelope is postmarked no later than the date stated above in Section 3, you will receive one (1) entry into the applicable Monthly Entry Period drawing for each compliant envelope received. Limit: one (1) mail-in request per envelope. All mail-in entries must be handwritten and must be postmarked no later than Postmark dates listed in Section 3 to receive an entry into the applicable Monthly Entry Period. All entries become the exclusive property of Sponsor, and none will be acknowledged or returned. Proof of sending or submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Sponsor. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, illegible, misdirected, or postage-due entries, which will be disqualified.
Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same email address. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and may result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an entrant, Sponsor and Administrator will rely on the information submitted by the entrant to register for this Sweepstakes. If any additional information provided by entrant is inconsistent with the information provided at registration for this Sweepstakes, Sponsor and/or Administrator may disqualify such entrant and such disqualification may result in the forfeiture of any prizes won. Sponsor, in its discretion, may require additional documentation from entrant to show proof of entrant’s identity.
5. Drawings: Administrator is an independent organization whose decisions as to the selection of the potential winners are final and binding. Administrator will randomly select one (1) potential Sweepstakes winner from all eligible entries received during each Monthly Entry Period, on or around the dates set forth in Section 3 above at approximately 10:00 a.m. ET in Southfield, MI, U.S.A. Entries from one Monthly Entry Period will not carry over into subsequent Entry Periods. The potential winner will be notified by email. Each potential winner will be notified by Administrator at the email address used to enter after the date of the drawing and will be required to correctly answer a time-limited skills testing question without any assistance in order to be eligible to receive a prize within three (3) days of the date of the email notification. If a potential winner of any prize cannot be contacted, fails to correctly answer the skills testing question in the time frame provided, or the prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits the prize. Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. In the event that a potential winner forfeits the prize or is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Only three (3) alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded. Prizes will be fulfilled within one (1) month after the conclusion of each Entry Period.
6. Prizes: TWELVE (12) PRIZES (1 prize awarded each Monthly Entry Period): Winner will receive one (1) Gap Inc. eGiftCard valued at two hundred dollars ($200.00 CAD). The eGiftCard will be delivered directly to the winner’s email address used to enter.
