Automatic Bill Payment Sweepstakes Official Rules
No Purchase Or Transaction Necessary To Enter Or Win
1. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
Beginning 2/15/10 through 3/31/10 (Sweepstakes Period), you will automatically receive one entry into the sweepstakes when you set up a new recurring bill payment program for cable services via a participating cable network and make a payment with your Discover Card. The first payment must be made by 3/31/10. Visit www.discovercard.com/paybills to determine if your cable provider is classified by Discover Card as a participating cable network, satellite or other pay television service. Transactions will not qualify for automatic entry in this sweepstakes if they are made with lost or stolen cards or card numbers, or if cable providers do not identify and/or process the transactions as a recurring payment. There is no cost associated with applying for or receiving a Discover Card. If you do not already have a Discover Card, go to www.discovercard.com/credit-cards/ for card application information. Limit one entry per person per qualifying cable subscription. Limit 1 entry per person per qualifying cable subscription. Maximum limit 3 entries per this method of entry.
