Eligible purchases exclude tobacco, Shell gift cards, and service bay repairs. One Entry per eligible purchase.
    For the purposes of these Contest Rules, the Entrant is the individual in whose name the AIR MILES Collector Account has been established and this is the individual to whom the prize will be awarded if he/she is selected and declared a winner.
    The Sponsor is not responsible for failed, late, lost, incomplete, undeliverable, incorrect, damaged or misdirected Entries for any reason. All Entries become the property of the Sponsor and will not be returned or acknowledged other than as outlined in Rule 2.
  7. Prizes: A total of Ten (10) Prizes to be awarded, each consisting of One million (1,000,000) AIR MILES Reward Miles, (each a “Prize” and collectively the “Prizes”).
    The approximate retail value of AIR MILES® Reward Miles prize depends on the chosen method of redemption, available reward options at the time of redemption, and the set preference between AIR MILES Cash and AIR MILES Dream balances. If redeemed with AIR MILES Cash, 95 Cash Miles can be used in-store for $10 towards purchases at participating AIR MILES Partners or 95 Cash Miles can be used online for eVouchers for $10 worth of value at participating Reward Partners. If redeemed for flights (1200 Reward Mile minimum required for flight redemption), value depends on destination chosen, date of travel and use of multiple carriers or suppliers. For example, one return economy flight in low season departure from Toronto, Ontario to Winnipeg, Manitoba is 2000 AIR MILES Reward Miles and has an approximate value of $525.00 (Canadian) excluding taxes. Winner must pay applicable taxes, related transportation fees, governmental levies, excess baggage and other non-ticket costs. The value of AIR MILES® Reward Miles used for non-flight reward options depends on reward options in effect at the time of redemption. AIR MILES Reward Miles prize is subject to the terms and conditions of the AIR MILES Reward Program as amended from time to time. AIR MILES Reward Miles prize is not transferable or convertible to cash and must be accepted as awarded.
  8. Odds Of Winning: Odds of winning a Prize depend on the total number of Entries received and the day on which each Entry is received.
