SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY PERIOD: The Hy-Vee Customer Experience Survey Sweepstakes begins at 12:00:01 AM Central Time (“CT”) on Monday, October 4, 2021 and ends at 11:59:59 PM CT on Sunday, October 2, 2022 (the “Sweepstakes Period”).
ELIGIBILITY: The Hy-Vee Customer Experience Survey Sweepstakes (the “Sweepstakes”) is only open to legal residents of Iowa, Missouri, South Dakota, Kansas, Illinois, Nebraska, Minnesota and Wisconsin, who are 18 years of age or older at time of entry. Void outside the U.S. and wherever else prohibited by law. Employees of Hy-Vee (the “Sponsor”) and its parents, members, affiliates, subsidiaries and agencies, and their immediate family members (spouse, parents, children and siblings, and their respective spouses) and persons living in the household of each are not eligible to participate. All federal, state and local laws and regulations apply.
ENTRY: There are two (2) ways to enter:
Method #1: Receipt Invite - To enter, participants must make a purchase at a participating Hy-Vee to receive a specially-marked cash register receipt which will have instructions inviting participants to visit www.hy-veesurvey.com, enter the code located on the receipt exactly as it appears on such receipt (the “Code”), answer any required customer satisfaction survey questions (the “Survey”) and provide all required contact information. Participants must follow online instructions at the designated website for entering Codes. Participants will be invited to complete the online Survey. The answers to the Survey will have no effect on a participant’s ability to enter or win. Upon completion of the Survey, the participant will be invited to complete the entry form in its entirety and submit to receive one (1) Sweepstakes entry for the month during which the entry is received (the “Survey Entry”). Submissions without a Code using the above steps will not be entered into the sweepstakes. Each Code may only be entered one (1) time during the Sweepstakes Period and cannot be re-used. An individual may receive an email reminder to complete the online Survey (the “Email Reminder”) if he/she has not completed the online Survey for such purchase and has opted in to receive promotional messages from Sponsor. Code will not need to be provided by the participant when using the link within the Email Reminder to enter. Sponsor’s computer is the official clock for this Sweepstakes. Proof of entry does not constitute proof of submission. All Codes are subject to verification. Online entrants are subject to all notices posted online including but not limited to the Sponsor’s Privacy Policy.
Method #2: AMOE (Alternate Means of Entry) - To enter the Sweepstakes without making a purchase at a Hy-Vee or without completing the survey, hand print your name, complete address, city, state, zip code, daytime phone number, and birth date on a 3” x 5” card and mail it to: Hy-Vee Customer Experience Survey Sweepstakes Entry, PO Box 728, Social Circle, GA 30025-728. Any mailed Sweepstakes Entry must be postmarked on a date that is within the Sweepstakes Period to be eligible. Mailed Sweepstakes Entries will be eligible for the Survey Period (defined herein) corresponding to the date such mailed Sweepstakes Entry was received by Sweepstakes Administrator (defined herein) shown in the table in the section entitled “Survey Periods”. Each mail-in entry must be mailed in a separate outer envelope. No copies, facsimiles or mechanical reproductions will be accepted. Limit one (1) mail-in entry per post-marked envelope. Partially completed and/or mechanically reproduced entries or rubber-stamped entries will be void and ineligible. All entries received become the sole property of Sponsor and will not be returned. Sponsor will not be responsible for illegible, late, lost, mutilated, misdirected, postage due or stolen manual entries.
Limit: One (1) entry per person or per email address per day regardless of methods of entry. All methods of entry have an equal chance of winning.

RANDOM DRAWING: One (1) potential Grand Prize winner will be selected each Survey Period during the Sweepstakes Period in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received for that Survey Period. The drawing for each Survey Period will be held based on the chart above. The drawings will be performed by an independent sweepstakes agency, whose decisions are final and binding in all matters related to this Sweepstakes.
Potential Grand Prize winners will be contacted via email, phone and/or mail, and will be required to provide their mailing address within 48 hours via return email or the prize will be forfeited and an alternate potential winner may be selected in a separate random drawing. Prizes will be sent to the winner’s local store, where the local store will contact the winner to arrange a time for the winner to pick up their Hy-Vee gift card at the local store or if the local store cannot be determined the prize will be sent to the address the winner provided upon confirmation. Prizes will be awarded within 4-6 weeks of winner being verified.
If a potential winner is otherwise eligible under these Official Rules but is nevertheless deemed a minor in his or her state of primary residence, the prize will be awarded in the name of winner's parent or legal guardian. If potential winners do not confirm their mailing address, notifications are returned as undeliverable, or if the potential winner cannot accept or receive the prize for any reason, or he/she is not in compliance with these Official Rules, the prize will be forfeited and an alternate potential winner may be selected in a separate random drawing.
