      HOW TO ENTER:  There are two ways to enter.

 

A). To Enter With User ID And Password From Cash Register Receipt: During the Promotional Period, some cash register receipts issued at participating Target Stores will contain a user ID and password.  The cash register receipt will direct you to visit www.target.com/survey (the “Website”).  When the page is accessed, click on the language link for the language in which you want to take the survey (English or Spanish) and follow the online instructions to enter the user ID and password.  (The user ID and password must be entered exactly as they appear on the cash register receipt).  When you properly enter the user ID and password follow the instructions to access the online survey and entry page.  Each user ID and password can only be used once.  When user ID and password have been successfully entered and accepted, entrant will be required to verify he or she is 18 years of age or older before being allowed to complete the online survey questions.  Upon completion of the survey, he or she will be required to enter the following information: daytime phone number and/or email address.  Answers to the survey will not affect entrants' ability to participate or win.  Once a user ID and password is properly entered, the survey completed and your registration information is completed and submitted as directed by the online instructions, you will receive one (1) entry into the Monthly Drawing corresponding to the month in which you have completed and submitted the above.  Entries received via the Internet must be received and recorded by Sponsor’s computer between 12.00 a.m. (midnight) CT on the first day of a calendar month and 11:59:59 p.m. CT on the last day of the same calendar month, to be included in the corresponding Monthly Drawing.  KEEP YOUR ORIGINAL CASH REGISTER RECEIPT WITH USER ID AND PASSWORD FOR VERIFICATION PURPOSES. 

 

B). To Enter Without Purchase: Hand print your complete name, address, daytime phone, email address (if available), and date of birth on a 3" x 5" card and mail your entry in a first-class stamped envelope to: Target 2011-2012 Survey Sweepstakes Entry, P.O. Box 15125, Dept. H041640, White Bear Lake, MN 55115-0125.  Mail-in entries must be postmarked between the first day of a given calendar month during the Promotional Period and the last day of the same calendar month (unless that day is a weekend or postal holiday in which case it must be postmarked by the first postal service day thereafter), and received by the 10th day of the following calendar month to be eligible for the Monthly Drawing associated with a given calendar month (and if not, it will be entered into the next Monthly Drawing, if any.) 

 

Limit one (1) entry per person/address/email address per Monthly Drawing regardless of method of entry.  No mechanically reproduced or photocopied entries permitted.   Any entries received from any person/address/email address in excess of the limit stated will void the excess entries for that person/address/email address.  No other method of entry or participation is valid.  Sponsor’s computer is the official timekeeping device for this Sweepstakes for entries via the Internet.  Sweepstakes is subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.

The potential prize winners will be notified by telephone and/or e-mail, using contact information provided or collected at the time of entry.  Sponsor shall have no liability for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by a potential winner for any reason.  If, despite reasonable efforts, a potential winner does not respond within five days of the first notification attempt, or if the prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such potential winner, such potential winner will forfeit his or her prize and an alternate winner may be selected.  If any potential prize winner is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with these Official Rules or declines the prize for any reason prior to award, such potential prize winner will be disqualified and an alternate prize winner may be selected.  Limit one (1) prize per person/address/email address for the entire Promotional Period.

 

PRIZES/ODDS:  Thirteen (13) Grand Prizes are available (one (1) for each Monthly Drawing).  Each Grand Prize consists of a $5,000 Target Gift Card.  Retail Value $5,000.  Gift Card may be redeemed at any Target retail location or at Target.com.  Gift Card can only be used for future purchases at Target retail locations or for online purchases at Target.com but CANNOT be used to pay already established credit balances. Gift Card may be used to pay online shipping charges, gift wrap, and/or taxes on purchases; and any remaining balance after any use will remain on the Gift Card.  Expenses not stated are solely the winner’s responsibility.  If a winner cannot accept prize in accordance with these Official Rules as stated herein, prize will be forfeited in its entirety and an alternate winner will be chosen.  Odds of winning a Monthly Drawing are dependent on the number of eligible entries received for that Monthly Drawing.  Total Retail Value all prizes $65,000.
