Official Rules

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.

SUBJECT TO ALL FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAWS, REGULATIONS, AND ORDINANCES. Void outside the fifty (50) United States, the District of Columbia, and where prohibited by law. The Points.com Inc. “MileagePlus Miles” Sweepstakes (“Sweepstakes”) begins January 8, 2019 at 12:00 a.m. Central Time (“CT”) and ends February 1, 2019 at 11:59 p.m. CT (“Sweepstakes Period”). The Sponsor’s computer is the official time keeping device for this Sweepstakes.

1. Sponsor. Sweepstakes sponsored by Points.com Inc., 111 Richmond Street West, Suite 700, Toronto Ontario, M5H 2G4 (“Sponsor”). The Sweepstakes is not sponsored or administered by United Airlines, Inc. (“United”), and no inquiries regarding the Sweepstakes or its rules (except for those rules pertaining to the United MileagePlus program referenced in Section 13) should be directed to United or its affiliates.

2. Eligibility. Sweepstakes is open to all legal United States residents residing in the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia, who are at least twenty one (21) years of age or older at the time of entry. Employees, officers and directors of Sponsor, United and their respective parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, franchisees, representatives, consultants, contractors, and legal counsel, advertising, marketing, public relations, promotional agencies, fulfillment agencies, website providers, and web masters who are involved with the Sweepstakes (collectively, the “Sweepstakes Entities”), as well as the immediate family (defined as parents, spouse, children, siblings, regardless of where they live) and the same household members (whether related or not) of each such employee, officer and director are not eligible to enter or win. Participation constitutes entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules and to Sponsor’s decisions, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein. An entrant is not a winner of any prize unless and until entrant’s eligibility has been verified and entrant has fully complied with these Official Rules and he/she has been notified by Sponsor or its agency to such effect.

3. How to Enter. There are two (2) methods of entry for this Sweepstakes.

By entering the Sweepstakes, you automatically agree to be legally bound by the terms and conditions of these Official Rules.

There is a limit of two (2) entries per person regardless of method of entry. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the maximum number of entries permitted in accordance with these Official Rules by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other method, will void that entrant’s participation and that entrant may be disqualified at the Sponsor’s sole discretion. Use of any automated system to register and/or participate in this Sweepstakes is prohibited and will result in disqualification. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible or misdirected registrations, which will be disqualified. In the event of a dispute as to any automatic entry with purchase, the authorized account holder of the Mileage Plus account used to purchase miles will be deemed to be the entrant, as long as such person is otherwise eligible and in compliance with these Official Rules. A potential Prize winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder. All entries become the sole and exclusive property of Sponsor and will not be returned.

All entrants and registrations are subject to verification at any time and for any reason. The Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to require proof of identity and/or eligibility (in a form acceptable to the Sponsor – including, without limitation, government issued photo identification): (i) for the purpose of verifying an individual’s eligibility to participate in this Sweepstakes; and/or (ii) for any other reason the Sponsor deems necessary, in its sole and absolute discretion, for the purposes of administering this Sweepstakes in accordance with these Official Rules. Failure to provide such proof to the satisfaction of the Sponsor in a timely manner may result in disqualification in the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor.

4. Winner Selection and Notification. On or about March 7, 2019, the Sponsor or an independent agency acting on Sponsor’s behalf will select one (1) potential winner in a random drawing of all valid entries received, and such potential winner will be notified approximately one (1) day after the drawing. The potential winner will be notified by email or telephone, at Sponsor's sole discretion, using the contact information associated with such potential winner’s Mileage Plus account or provided by such potential winner at time of entry. Failure to respond to the initial verification email within ten (10) business days of notification 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. Sponsor, in its sole discretion, will attempt to contact up to three (3) potential winners of a prize in accordance with the above procedure, after which the prize in question may go unawarded if it remains unclaimed. 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.

Awarding of a prize is subject to verification of potential winner's eligibility and full compliance with these Official Rules. The potential prize winner will be required to sign, have notarized and return an Affidavit of Eligibility/Release of Liability and (where imposing such condition is legal) a Publicity Release (the “Affidavit”) within ten (10) business days of receipt attesting to full compliance with all terms of these Official Rules and to provide other information as required for tax reporting purposes. The potential prize winner accepts and agrees that an electronic signature on such documents will have the same force and effect as the actual, physical signature on same. Noncompliance within the specified time period may result in disqualification and an alternate winner may be selected. Odds of winning a prize depend on the number of eligible entries received.

5. Prizes

Grand Prize

No substitution, assignment or transfer of prize permitted, except by Sponsor, who reserves the right to substitute a prize with another prize of greater or equal value if an advertised prize cannot be awarded as stated for any reason.
