A PURCHASE, CREDIT CARD APPLICATION, OR PAYMENT WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.
1. ELIGIBILITY: The PenFed Pathfinder $10,000 for Your Dream Vacation Sweepstakes (the "Sweepstakes") is open only to individuals age 18 or older who are legal residents of one of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico (collectively the "Eligibility Area"), including those permanent legal residents of the Eligibility Area who are currently residing on an overseas United States military installation. Employees, officers and directors of Pentagon Federal Credit Union ("PenFed" and/or "Sponsor") and its parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising and promotion agencies and promotional suppliers (aforementioned individuals and organizations collectively, the "Promotion Parties"), and the immediate family members (spouse, siblings, and children, regardless of where they live) or members of the same households (whether related or not) of such employees, officers and directors are not eligible. Void outside of the Eligibility Area and where prohibited. All federal, state, and local laws and regulations apply.
Note that by entering this Sweepstakes, you are agreeing to be bound by these Official Rules and the decisions of the Sponsor which shall be final and binding on all matters relating to the Sweepstakes.
2. TIMING: The Sweepstakes begins at 12:00:01 AM Eastern Time ("ET") on May 25, 2021 and ends at 11:59 PM on September 30, 2021 ("Sweepstakes Period").
3. TO ENTER: There are two ways to enter the Sweepstakes: receive one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes by applying and being approved for a PenFed Pathfinder Credit Card during the Sweepstakes Period or receive one (1) entry without applying and being approved for a PenFed Pathfinder Credit Card by entering online.
  • Approved Pathfinder Credit Card application method of entry: You will automatically receive one (1) Sweepstakes entry when you are approved for a Pathfinder Credit Card from PenFed during the Sweepstakes Period.
  • To Enter Without an Approved PenFed Pathfinder Credit Card Application: To enter without applying and being approved for a PenFed Pathfinder Credit Card during the Sweepstakes Period, go to giveaway.penfed.org/10kvacay during the Sweepstakes Period and complete and submit the online entry form.
Regardless of method of entry, there is a limit of one entry per person/email address. Entries will be disqualified if they are late, incomplete and/or in excess of any stated entry limit. Sponsor's computer will be the official time clock for the Sweepstakes. The use of any device or technique to automate participation in this Sweepstakes, including but not limited to, participation using any bot, macro, script, hack, on-line sweepstakes service or form-filling software (or any other devices or techniques intended to automate any part of participation in the Sweepstakes) is prohibited. Participation by any means which subvert the participation process as described herein will be void. Entries are void if unreadable, inaccurate, incomplete, mutilated, tampered with, forged, irregular in any way, or otherwise not in compliance with these Official Rules. If Sponsor or its designee, in its sole discretion, determines that any participant has used any device or technique to automate or subvert the participation process or participation limits, all participation by that participant will be void and future participation attempts by the participant at issue may be blocked. All submitted information becomes property of Sponsor and will not be returned. Any acknowledgment of receipt of entry does not constitute any representation as to eligibility, selection as a potential prize winner, or is it otherwise binding upon the Promotion Parties in any respect. Proof of submission of entry does not constitute proof of receipt of entry. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of the entrant associated with any entry, the authorized account holder of the email account or phone number associated with the applicable Sweepstakes registration, at time of submission, will be deemed to be the entrant, as applicable. The "authorized account holder" is the natural person assigned to the applicable email account by the email service provider, or to the applicable phone number by the applicable telephone service provider. Potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder. In the event a dispute regarding the identity of the person who actually submitted an entry cannot be resolved to Sponsor's/Administrator's satisfaction, the affected entry will be deemed ineligible. Entrants are solely responsible for internet access and usage charges incurred during participation in the Sweepstakes, if any. Note that free internet access is available at most public libraries. If you opt to use a wireless mobile device to submit an entry, data rates and other charges may apply; check with your mobile carrier for rates/details.
4. RANDOM DRAWING / PRIZE / ODDS OF WINNING: On or about October 14, 2021, Promotion Mechanics, Inc., an independent judging organization, will conduct a random drawing at its offices in Newtown, CT, from among all eligible entries received to award one (1) Grand Prize: $10,000 cash to be awarded in the form of a check. While it is the Sponsor's intention that the winner use the prize monies to pay for a dream vacation, the prize will be issued without restrictions. Winner need not be present.
All eligible entries have an equal chance of winning. Odds of winning will be determined by the number of eligible entries received. No prize transfer. No prize substitution except by Sponsor due to prize unavailability, safety or security considerations, or any other reason as solely determined by Sponsor in which case a prize of comparable or greater value will be awarded.
5. WINNER NOTIFICATION: The potential winner will be notified by phone and/or email, at Sponsor's sole discretion. A potential winner must reply as instructed to identify him/herself, confirm his/her eligibility and ability to accept the prize, and provide his/her complete contact information within three (3) business days following attempted notification, or he/she may be disqualified and an alternate winner selected as set forth above. Potential winner will also be required to complete an affidavit of eligibility, a liability release, and (where legal) a publicity release, which must be returned within the time period specified at the time of such request. Proof of identity, age, and legal residence may be required to claim a prize. If Sponsor so elects, a potential prize winner may be required to submit to, and cooperate in, a confidential background check to confirm eligibility and to help ensure that the use of any such person in advertising or publicity for Sponsor or this Sweepstakes will not reflect unfavorably on the Sponsor, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Potential winner who stands to receive prizes valued at $600 or more will also be required to return a properly completed IRS W-9 form or similar applicable taxpayer form within the time period specified by Sponsor, and such winner will receive an IRS Form 1099 issued in their name for the actual value of prizes received. If a potential winner is 18 years of age or older but has not yet reached the age of majority in his/her jurisdiction of residence, the applicable prize will be awarded to the potential winner's parent/legal guardian, who must fulfill all requirements of a winner under these Official Rules.
Any participant may be disqualified in Sponsor's sole discretion if: (a) he/she fails to reply or to provide any required information or properly completed documents within the required time period (as applicable); (b) he/she fails to comply with any of the terms of these Official Rules; or (c) if any prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable. In the event of disqualification of a winner, at Sponsor's sole discretion the prize may be awarded to an alternate winner randomly selected from among the remaining applicable eligible entries, pending verification of eligibility. No responsibility is assumed by the Promotion Parties for any incorrect postal address, email address or phone number associated with an entry, or any change of address, email, or phone number of entrant after entry. All taxes on prizes (including without limitation federal, state, and local taxes) and all expenses related to acceptance and use of prizes and not specified herein are sole responsibility of the prize recipient. Sponsor makes no representations regarding the tax liability associated with any prize, and winner is advised to seek counsel regarding any tax liabilities associated with his/her prize. Sponsor reserves the right to withhold any portion of a prize deemed necessary for compliance with tax withholding requirements, and to forward such portion to the applicable taxing authority on behalf of a winner. All other costs and expenses associated with acceptance and use of a prize not specified as being awarded are the sole responsibility of the winner. Sponsor will not replace any lost, damaged, or stolen prizes.
