This structure of the Greenlight program allows the Primary Accountholder to identify, monitor and approve Greenlight Card transactions by each individual Cardholder.  

Each Primary Accountholder and any affiliated Cardholder, collectively, may contribute up to one (1) Entry to the Sweepstakes during the Sweepstakes Period regardless of the number of Entries completed during such period. All Entries must be made during the Sweepstakes Period in order to be eligible for this Sweepstakes.

Messaging and/or data rates may apply.

Regardless of entry method, each Entrant may enter the Sweepstakes a maximum of one (1) time.

5. PRIZE AND APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUE: There will be five (5) prizes (each, a “Prize” and collectively, the “Prizes”) awarded in connection with the Sweepstakes.

The maximum approximate retail value (“ARV”) for each Prize is $500. The maximum ARV for all Prizes is $2,500.

Prizes may be distributed in an alternative manner at Sponsor’s sole discretion.   If a Winner does not have a Greenlight, Paypal or Venmo account, the Winner must create a Greenlight, PayPal or Venmo account to collect a Prize. A Winner's failure to notify Greenlight of Winner’s Greenlight, Paypal or Venmo account within three (3) days after being notified by Sponsor that Entrant is a Winner, will be considered that Winner's forfeiture of the Prize and Sponsor may, at its option and sole discretion, choose not to award the Prize at all. If an Entrant is found to be ineligible, Sponsor may, at its option and sole discretion, choose not to award the Prize at all. 

6.

Failure to return all required documents in this time period may result in a Winner being disqualified, and an alternate Winner selected.
