FEDERAL Tax Refund Direct Deposit Entry: Make a qualifying electronic direct deposit of a FEDERAL tax refund of $10 or more during the Sweepstakes Period to your Green Dot Reloadable Prepaid Visa or MasterCard card and receive one initial entry for each such qualifying direct deposit. For example, an Entrant making a FEDERAL tax refund electronic direct deposit that posts to his or her Card on April 2, 2016 will receive one Initial Entry into the Sweepstakes. PLEASE NOTE: A qualifying electronic deposit of a FEDERAL tax refund is dependent upon the date on which the qualifying electronic deposit has been posted to the respective Green Dot Card.
BONUS ENTRIES: Additional Direct Deposit/Cash Reload Entry: If you have followed the steps above and received one Initial Entry, you may make qualifying direct deposits or cash reloads of $10 or more during the Sweepstakes Period to your Green Dot Card to receive one bonus entry for each qualifying direct deposit or cash reload.
Entrant must be a valid Green Dot Cardholder in order to enter via Tax Refund Direct Deposit Entry or by Bonus Entry.
TO ENTER WITHOUT A DIRECT DEPOSIT OR CASH RELOAD: Mail-in Entry: To receive one entry without making a Direct Deposit or Cash Reload, on a plain 3″ x 5″ card, legibly print or type your name, age, complete address, city, state, zip code, home phone number (including area code), and email address (if any). Then, mail your 3″ x 5″ card in a postage-affixed sealed envelope to:
“Double Your Federal Tax Refund” Sweepstakes
PO Box 10849
Rochester, NY 14610
Mail-in entries must be postmarked by May 2, 2016 and be received by May 9, 2016. No mechanically or programmatically reproduced entries are permitted. One entry per envelope.
Entry Limit: ten entries per person, regardless of method of entry. You may only use one Green Dot Card to participate in this Sweepstakes.
One Grand (1) Prize: equivalent to the combined dollar amount of the Grand Prize Winner’s qualifying electronic direct deposit of his/her FEDERAL tax refund multiplied by two, with a maximum value of $15,000. If the Grand Prize Winner has an open Green Dot Card in good standing, the Grand Prize will be credited to his/her Green Dot Card. In the event that the Grand Prize Winner entered via mail and does not have a Green Dot Card, a check for $15,000 will be awarded in lieu of double the amount of his/her FEDERAL tax refund.
For the mail in does plain mean no lines on the card?
I would use a plain one, yes – they might accept one with lines on it, but I wouldn’t take that chance. Those of us who do lots of mail-ins always have plain 3×5 index cards on hand. If you don’t want to buy large quantities such as they have at office supply stores, you can find individual packages at dollar stores and drug stores. Walgreens sometimes has them on sale.
Would you recommend sending all 10 at once or splitting it up and sending them over different days?
Thank you
