The Cheesecake Rewards® Las Vegas Giveaway

Official Rules

 

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.

1. Eligibility: The Cheesecake Rewards® Las Vegas Giveaway (the “Sweepstakes”) is open only to legal residents of the forty-eight (48) contiguous United States (excluding Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico) and the District of Columbia who are at least eighteen (18) years old and a Cheesecake Rewards Member at the time of entry. Sponsor will determine your geographic eligibility based on your designated Favorite Restaurant. Employees of The Cheesecake Factory Restaurants, Inc., Merkle Inc., The Coca-Cola Company, and their parent and affiliate companies as well as the immediate family (spouse, parents, siblings, and children) and household members of each such employee are not eligible. The Sweepstakes is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations and is void in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and where otherwise prohibited by law. Participation constitutes entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules. Sponsor’s and Administrator’s decisions are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Winning the prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.

 

2. Sponsor: The Cheesecake Factory Restaurants, Inc., 26901 Malibu Hills Road, Calabasas Hills, CA 91301. Administrator: Merkle Inc., 3000 Town Center, Suite 2100, Southfield, MI 48075.

 

3. Timing: The Sweepstakes begins on January 4, 2024 and ends on January 31, 2024 (at the time of restaurant closure for the applicable local time zone) (the "Promotion Period"). Sponsor’s servers are the official time-keeping devices for the Sweepstakes.

 

4. How to Enter: There are two (2) ways to enter the Sweepstakes:

 

You must be a member of Cheesecake Rewards to participate by either entry method.

 

(a) Make a Qualifying Purchase at a Cheesecake Factory Location: During the Promotion Period, make a “Qualifying Purchase” (defined below) from a “Participating Restaurant” (defined below) and take the actions below to connect your Qualifying Purchase to your Rewards account.

 

A Qualifying Purchase is a $5.00 or more pre-tax and pre-gratuity purchase of food and/or beverage placed from a Participating Restaurant via one of the methods described below (“Qualifying Purchase”). For clarity, a gift card purchase is not a “Qualifying Purchase.” Participating Restaurant means any The Cheesecake Factory restaurant located in the United States, including Puerto Rico. 

 

Connect your Qualifying Purchase to your Rewards account as follows:

 

·       When making a Qualifying Purchase, you must inform your server, cashier, or other individual who takes your order that you are a Cheesecake Rewards Member and you must provide the mobile phone number associated with your Cheesecake Rewards account (herein a “Rewards Account”) to receive a Sweepstakes entry.

·       You may also make a Qualifying Purchase when you are logged into your online Rewards Account and make an online takeout order from www.thecheesecakefactory.com (“Website”) for pickup or select “Delivery Through DoorDash” on the Website.

·       Alternatively, you may also make a Qualifying Purchase directly through the DoorDash website or app. To do so, you first must link your Cheesecake Rewards account to your DoorDash account. You may link your Cheesecake Rewards account with your DoorDash account via DoorDash.com or the DoorDash app. To successfully link these accounts, the phone number associated with your DoorDash account must match the phone number associated with your Cheesecake Rewards account.

 

By completing a Qualifying Purchase by one of the methods described above, you automatically will receive one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes. Limit: you can earn one (1) Sweepstakes entry each calendar day of the Sweepstakes. 

 

(b) Enter Without Purchase: To enter without making a purchase, print your name, address, the mobile phone number associated with your Rewards Account, email address, and date of birth on a piece of paper and mail it in an envelope with proper postage to “The Cheesecake Rewards Las Vegas Giveaway” c/o Merkle Inc., P.O. Box 5022, Department 860833, Kalamazoo, MI 49003-5022. You will receive one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes. Limit: One (1) mail in entry per envelope; up to twenty-eight (28) separate mail in entries during the Promotion Period. All mail-in entries must be postmarked by January 31, 2024 and received by February 7, 2024. All entries become the exclusive property of Sponsor, and none will be acknowledged or returned. Proof of sending or submission will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Sponsor. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, illegible, misdirected or postage-due entries, which will be disqualified.

 

Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same Rewards Account. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different Rewards Accounts, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that entrant's entries and that entrant may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an entrant, Sponsor and Administrator will rely on the information submitted by the entrant to register for the Rewards Account. If any additional information provided by entrant is inconsistent with the information provided at registration for the Rewards program, Sponsor and/or Administrator may disqualify such entrant and such disqualification may result in the forfeiture of any prizes won.

 

5. Grand Prize Drawing: Administrator is an independent organization whose decisions as to the administration and operation of the Sweepstakes and the selection of the potential winner are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes. Administrator will randomly select the potential Sweepstakes winner from all eligible entries received during the Promotion Period, on or around February 14, 2024. The potential winner will be notified by email. The potential Grand Prize winner (or parent/legal guardian if winner is a minor in his/her state of residence) will be required to provide their name, home mailing address (P.O. Boxes may not be permitted), and date of birth to confirm eligibility and for purposes of prize fulfillment within five (5) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim the prize. If a potential winner of any prize cannot be contacted, fails to provide any other requested information within the required time period (if applicable), or the prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits the prize. Receiving the prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. In the event that a potential winner is disqualified for any reason or forfeits the prize, Sponsor will award the prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Only three (3) alternate drawings will be held, after which the prize will remain un-awarded.

 

6. Prize: ONE (1) GRAND PRIZE: Prize package includes one (1) $1,850 cash prize, payable by check or other method determined by Sponsor (that may be used to assist with air transportation for winner and one guest and two (2) nights’ hotel accommodations); one (1) $200 The Cheesecake Factory eGift Card; one (1) Coke Store merchandise gift basket valued at $1,000 (exact items to be determined by The Coca-Cola Company in its sole discretion); a tasting for winner and one (1) guest at The Coke Store in Las Vegas, NV; two (2) $100 TopGolf digital gift cards; and one (1) $500 Vegas.com eGift Card.
