During the Promotion Period use your Mobile Wallet to make a purchase at an accepting contactless terminal using your mobile phone/smart wearable device or at checkout with online retailers and merchants who accept Mobile Wallets and you will automatically receive one (1) entry into the applicable Monthly Entry Period drawing associated with the date and time of your transaction, subject to the entry limit below or entrant’s decision to opt-out, as described below.  Limit:  You can enter up to one hundred (100) each Monthly Entry Period.

 

OPT OUT PROCESS:  If you use your Discover debit card in your Mobile Wallet to make a purchase during the Promotion Period but would like to opt-out of the Sweepstakes, send an email to customercare@bnbank.com with your opt-out request no later than 12/31/2025.  Please include “Opt-Out Request” in the subject line and the name and email address associated with your account in your email request. You will be opted out of all subsequent prize drawings by sending one email request.

 

 

b.    Mail-In Method: To enter without making a Mobile Wallet payment with Sponsor’s debit card, print your name, address, phone number, email address, and date of birth on a piece of paper and mail it in an envelope with proper postage to “Add. Pay. Win. Sweepstakes,” c/o Brenham National Bank: P.O. Box 2568, Brenham, TX 77834-2568. You will receive one (1) entry into the applicable Monthly Entry Period for each envelope you mail in. All mail-in entries must be handwritten and must be postmarked by 12/31/2025 and received by 01/07/2026.  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.  Limit:  You can enter up to one hundred (100) each Monthly Entry Period.

 

Limit: You may enter one hundred (100) times during the Promotion Period by any combination of the entry methods.  Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that entrant's entries and that entrant may be disqualified. 

 

Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification.  In the event of a dispute as to any entry, the authorized account holder of debit card used to enter will be deemed to be the entrant. Each potential winner may be required to show proof of being an authorized account holder.

 

5. Prize Drawings: Sponsor’s decisions as to the administration and operation of the Sweepstakes and the selection of the potential winners are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes.  Sponsor will randomly select the potential Sweepstakes winners from all eligible entries received during the applicable Monthly Entry Period, on or around the dates listed in Section 3. Entries from one Monthly Entry Period will not be included in subsequent drawings. The potential winners will be notified by email or phone. If a potential winner of any prize cannot be contacted, fails to confirm acceptance of the prize and provide any requested information within the required time period, 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 is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries form the applicable Weekly/Monthly Entry Period. Only three (3) alternate drawings will be held time permitting, after which the prize will remain un-awarded. Unclaimed prizes valued at $25 or less will not be awarded. Prizes will be fulfilled within approximately 8-10 weeks after the conclusion of each Monthly drawing.

8. General Conditions: Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the Sweepstakes, if any fraud, technical failures, human error, or any other factor impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Sweepstakes, or any event or cause beyond Sponsor’s control (e.g. events such as natural calamities, national emergencies, wide spread illnesses, declarations of war, acts of God, acts of terrorism) interferes with any aspect of the Sweepstakes, including but not limited to fulfillment of the prize(s), as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. In such event, Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may elect to hold a random drawing from among all eligible entries received up to the date of discontinuance and may modify the prizes offered herein. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes or to be acting in violation of the Official Rules of this or any other promotion or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law.  Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.

 

9. Limitations of Liability: The Released Parties are not responsible for: (1) any incorrect or inaccurate information caused by printing errors or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Sweepstakes; (2) technical failures of any kind, including, but not limited to malfunctions, interruptions, or disconnections to the internet, in phone lines or network hardware or software; (3) unauthorized human, computer, or other intervention in any part of the Sweepstakes, including but not limited to the entry process; (4) technical or human error which may occur in the administration of the Sweepstakes, including but not limited to the processing of entries; (5) late, lost, undeliverable, damaged or stolen mail; or (6) any injury or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from entrant’s participation in the Sweepstakes, or to the receipt, use, inability to use, or misuse of any prize. If for any reason an entrant's entry is confirmed to have been erroneously deleted, lost, or otherwise destroyed or corrupted, entrant’s sole remedy is another entry in the Sweepstakes, if it is possible. No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded.  In the event that production, technical, seeding, programming or any other reasons cause more than the stated number of prizes as set forth in these Official Rules to be available and/or claimed, Sponsor reserves the right to award only the stated number of prizes by a random drawing among all legitimate, un-awarded, eligible prize claims.

Disputes: Except where prohibited, entrant agrees that: (1) any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Sweepstakes or any prize awarded shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (Southern Division) or the appropriate Michigan State Court located in Oakland County, Michigan; (2) any and all claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with entering this Sweepstakes, but in no event attorneys’ fees; and (3) under no circumstances will entrant be permitted to obtain awards for, and entrant hereby waives all rights to claim, indirect, punitive, incidental and consequential damages and any other damages, other than for actual out-of-pocket expenses, and any and all rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased.  All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of the entrant and Sponsor in connection with the Sweepstakes, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Michigan without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the State of Michigan or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Michigan.
