Miles issued for use of AIR MILES credit cards are not considered eligible purchases and are excluded for the purposes of determining the number of Contest entries an Eligible Collector will receive. All determinations as to whether or not an eligible purchase has been completed during the Contest Period in accordance with these Official Contest Rules will be made by the Contest Sponsor and shall be considered final and binding without right of appeal.

Entry Limits and Odds: Eligible Collectors may use more than one entry option noted above. Selecting one entry option over another does not increase the odds of winning. The odds of winning will depend on the total number of eligible entries received during the Contest Period.
6. Prize: There is one (1) grand prize available to be won (the “Grand Prize”) as follows: a set of Shell Canada Products gift cards (each a “Gift Card”), collectively worth $4,500.
The approximate retail value of the Grand Prize is $4,500 CDN. Any difference between the stated approximate retail value and the actual value of the Prize will not be awarded.
Gift Card value is expressed in Canadian dollars (“CDN”). All elements of each Gift Card are subject to additional terms and conditions as set out by the issuer of the applicable Gift Card. A Gift Card Prize is not transferable or convertible to cash, or refundable, and must be accepted as awarded. In the case of loss, theft, mutilation, alteration or unauthorized use, a Gift Card Prize will not be reimbursed or replaced. A Gift Card Prize cannot be used for purchases of goods and services prohibited by law.
“Free Fuel for a Year” claim based on an assumption of an average of 250 L of fuel filled up per month, at an average fuel price of approximately $1.50/L, for twelve months. The exact length of time for which the Grand Prize will provide the winner with “free” fuel depends on several factors outside of the Contest Sponsor’s control, including but not limited to the number of litres of fuel the winner fills up per month and the fuel price at the station(s) at which the winner fills up.
All elements of the Grand Prize are not transferable or convertible to cash, or refundable, and must be accepted as awarded. Grand Prize details shall be at the Contest Sponsor’s sole discretion. Where applicable, Grand Prize elements will be awarded by the Contest Sponsor based on the mailing address and/or email address associated with the Collector Number of a confirmed winner. In the case of loss, theft, mutilation, alteration or unauthorized use, the Grand Prize and its elements will not be reimbursed or replaced. Except as expressly stated herein, a confirmed winner is responsible for all applicable taxes, fees and surcharges, if any, in respect to their Prize and/or the use or redemption thereof.
No compensation will be provided for failure by a confirmed winner to accept the Grand Prize as awarded. Contest Sponsor gives no representations, warranties, or conditions, whether express or implied, in respect to the Grand Prize or any elements of the Grand Prize.
7. Winner Selection: A random draw for the Grand Prize will be held on September 25, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. ET in Oakville, Ontario from among all eligible entries received during the Contest Period, by a judging organization whose decisions will be final and binding. In order to be declared a winner, selected entrant must be an Eligible Collector and must first correctly answer, unaided, a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question administered by the Contest Sponsor or its representatives, and otherwise comply with the Official Contest Rules. The Contest Sponsor or its representatives will make reasonable attempts to contact the selected entrant at the same email address on file in the Collector’s profile of their Collector Account. If a selected entrant cannot be contacted or has not responded within three (3) days of the date when contact was first attempted, is not eligible in accordance with these Official Contest Rules, does not correctly answer the mathematical skill-testing question, or does not otherwise comply with these Official Contest Rules, then the selected entrant is disqualified and will not receive the Grand Prize and another entrant will be selected. A selected entrant must sign and return to the Contest Sponsor within three (3) days of receipt a Prize Acknowledgement and Release Form, in form satisfactory to Contest Sponsor, which includes a standard declaration of compliance with the Official Contest Rules and Release Form releasing the Contest Sponsor and the other Indemnitees from liability in association with the Contest and/or the Grand Prize in order to be awarded the Grand Prize.
