How to Enter:

You must be a Brenham National Bank Discover Debit card holder as of the start date of this Promotion. There are two (2) methods of entry:

Entry Method 1 - Complete Transactions with your Brenham National Bank debit card:

During the Promotion Period, use your Brenham National Bank Discover debit card to complete a purchase transaction (either using the card PIN or by signing), here in “Transaction,” and you will automatically receive one (1) entry into the applicable Weekly Entry Period drawing associated with the date and time of your transaction (see Opt-Out process below if you don’t want to be included in the Sweepstakes). A purchase or payment of any kind will not increase your chances of winning; see mail in entry method entry option below. Limit:  You can enter up to twenty-five (25) times each Weekly Entry Period.

 

OPT OUT PROCESS:  If you make a purchase with your debit card 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 12/22/25.  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.

 

 

Entry Method 2 - Mail-In Method:

To enter without making a 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 “Debit and Win it,” c/o Brenham National Bank: P.O. Box 2568, Brenham, TX 77834-2568. You will receive one (1) entry into the applicable Weekly Entry Period for each envelope you mail-in. All mail-in entries must be postmarked by 12/22/25 and received by 12/29/25.  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 twenty-five (25) times each Weekly Entry Period.

 

Entry Limits:

You may enter twenty-five (25) 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.  

 

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 Weekly Entry Period, on or around the dates listed in Section 3. Entries from one Weekly 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 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 Weekly drawing. 

 

Prizes:

Quantity, Description and Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”):

  • 1 Week 1 Prize: $500 deposited into winner’s Brenham National Bank checking account
  • 1 Week 2 Prize: $500 deposited into winner’s Brenham National Bank checking account
  • 5 Week 3 Prizes: $500 deposited into winner’s Brenham National Bank checking account

 

 

Odds of Winning:

Additional Prize Terms:

Prizes are non-transferable, and no substitution will be made except as provided in the Sponsor’s sole discretion if the prize should become unavailable. In this case, a prize of equal or greater value will be offered. Winners are responsible for all taxes and fees associated with prize receipt and/or use. ARVs are determined as of the time these Official Rules were published and the value of a prize may fluctuate. A winner is not entitled to any difference between the ARV and the actual value of the prize at the time the prize is awarded. Where applicable, prize style, size and all other details will be determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. All other costs and expenses associated with acceptance of the prize that are not expressly set forth herein shall be solely the winner’s responsibility. Prizes are provided “as is” without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. Prizes will be fulfilled approximately 8-10 weeks after winner confirmation OR conclusion of the Sweepstakes. Limit of 1 prize per person or household.

 

Release:

By receipt of any prize, winners agree to release and hold harmless Sponsor, PULSE Network LLC, an Affiliate of DFS Services LLC, and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, suppliers, distributors, advertising/promotion agencies, and prize suppliers, and each of their respective parent companies and each such company’s officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from. from any and all actions, claims, injury, loss or damage arising in any manner, directly or indirectly, from participation in this Sweepstakes and/or acceptance, use, inability to use, misuse or redemption of a prize (including any injury or harm related thereto).

 

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, including but not limited to submitting fraudulent entries, or to be acting in violation of the Official Rules of this Sweepstakes 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. In no event will more prizes than are stated in these Official Rules be awarded. If, for any reason, more prize notifications are sent (or more claims are received) than the number of prizes offered as set forth in these Official Rules, Sponsor reserves the right to award the intended number of prizes through a random drawing from among all eligible prize claims received. In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between any other statements contained in any Sweepstakes-related materials and the Official Rules as posted online, the Official Rules as posted on the Promotion Site shall prevail, govern and control.
