Free entry vs. paying
At the standard rate one free entry is worth what $50 of purchases gets you. We rate it on the lower of the two, because operators often run multiplier promotions.
Paid entry: 1 entry per $1 spent (pre-tax, excl. shipping/handling, less discounts); retail purchases earn the same via receipt upload
Promotions: Bonus Entry Periods announced on site/social: 10 to 200 entries per $1; mail-ins postmarked in a Bonus Entry Period are worth 500 to 10,000 entries (write the multiplier on the back of the envelope; a wrong multiplier disqualifies). Email subscription: 10 entries
