Online access and an email and public Instagram account are required in order to participate in this Contest. Many public libraries, retail businesses and others offer free access to computers and a number of Internet service providers and other companies offer free email accounts. If you do not already have an account, you can obtain one for free at www.instagram.com. Additional terms and conditions associated with the creation of an Instagram account may apply.

3. Agreement to Contest Rules: By participating in the Contest, you fully and unconditionally agree to and accept the Official Contest Rules and the decisions of the Contest Sponsor and its Contest administrators and judges, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Contest.

4. Contest Period: The Contest starts on Monday, January 20, 2025 and ends on Friday, January 24, 2024 (the “Contest Period”). The Contest is divided into five daily segments (each a “Contest Segment”), with each stage being subject to a separate entry period (each a “Contest Segment Entry Period”), prize, entry pool, and prize draw. Please see Rule 8 of these Official Contest Rules for a complete list of the entry periods for each Contest Segment.

5. How to Enter. No Purchase Necessary: A Collector will receive one (1) entry (an “Eligible Entry”) when they:

i. Follow @airmiles_canada on Instagram (or, if the Collector already followed this account prior to the start of the Contest Period, remain following throughout the Contest Period);

ii. During a Contest Segment Entry Period, like the AIR MILES JanYOUary Social Giveaway post posted at the start of the Contest Segment Entry Period on the @airmiles_canada page on Instagram;

iii. During a Contest Segment Entry Period, post/reply to the post described at Step (ii) with a comment that includes the answer to the AIR MILES JanYOUary Social Giveawayquestion on the @airmiles_canada page on Instagram; and

iv. Tag a friend or a family member in the comment/reply described at Step (iii).

To be eligible, Collectors must have a public Instagram account and follow the AIR MILES Canada page on Instagram.

The Contest Sponsor reserves the right to reject an Eligible Entry, in its sole discretion, that may be deemed offensive, distasteful or inappropriate.

All Eligible Entries are subject to verification. The Contest Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to require proof of identity and/or eligibility in a form acceptable to the Contest Sponsor including, without limitation, government-issued photo identification to award this Contest. Failure to provide such proof in a timely manner may result in disqualification.

6. Entry Limits and Odds:  There is a limit of one (1) Eligible Entry per Collector Number for each Contest Segment, for a maximum of five (5) Eligible Entries per Collector Number during the full Contest Period (assuming a Collector submits an Eligible Entry in each of the five Contest Segments). If the Collector exceeds the limit of one (1) entry per Collector Number per Contest Segment, as determined by the Contest Sponsor, their entry will be void. For clarity, after making one eligible Instagram comment in the manner described in Rule 5 to earn one Eligible Entry in a Contest Segment, Collectors will not earn additional entries for making additional comments. The odds of winning a Prize will depend on the total number of Eligible Entries received during the relevant Contest Segment Entry Period.
