Win your groceries
25. The opening and closing dates of each prize draw will be 00:01 on the 1st of the month to 23:59 on the last day of the month (except in the case of the first draw period which will start when the mywaitrose card is first used and end at 23:59 on 30 November 2011) (the "Draw Period").

26. To enter into the monthly draws to win your groceries, members must present their myWaitrose card to a cashier prior to payment.  Members that forget to do this at the point of purchase cannot manually add their spend at a later date.

27. Purchases made by a member via an online transaction will be counted for the purposes of the prize draws if the member has opted for this in their My Account section of the myWaitrose website.

28. For every £1 spent on Qualifying Items at Participating Stores (each as defined below) in each single transaction during the relevant Draw Period you will receive 1 entry into the store draw where your purchase was made. You could therefore be entered into multiple store or online draws in any Draw Period. Amounts of less than £1 spent will not qualify for entries into either draw. Payments using vouchers won in previous draws will count as spend for the purposes of the prize draw. Online spend will be entered in the draw of the store where the goods have been picked.

29. For every £1 spent on Qualifying Items at Participating Stores in each single transaction during the relevant Draw Period you will also receive 1 entry into the national draw irrespective of which Waitrose store your purchase was made at or if the purchase was made online.

30. There will be one winner per Participating Store per Draw Period who will win in gift vouchers the amount they spent on Qualifying Items (minus any refunded expenditure, rounded up to the nearest £5 and capped at £500) using their myWaitrose card in that Draw Period in all Participating Stores (the “Store Prize”). Individuals may only win the Store Prize once in any Draw Period. Where an entrant’s name is drawn in more than one Participating Store during any Draw Period, the entrant shall be deemed to have won the Prize for the Participating Store where the entrant’s largest total spend was made during any Draw Period.

31. "Participating Stores" are all Waitrose stores excluding motorway service stations, petrol stations and Boots and Waitrose Cookery School. For a full list of Participating Stores please visit waitrose.com/mywaitrose.

32. "Qualifying Items" means all items that are not Excluded Items. "Excluded Items" include non-groceries (such as wine direct, flowers, entertaining, home and hampers), infant formula, tobacco, stamps, mobile top ups, e-Top up vouchers, lottery tickets, gift vouchers, cash back, car park charges, fuel, delivery charges and Quick Pay or Self Scan transactions. Other items may also be excluded from the scheme at the discretion of Waitrose, for a full list of Excluded Items please visit waitrose.com/mywaitrose.

33. Only spend made on groceries at mall level checkouts of Waitrose Canary Wharf will count towards your monthly spend entry to win your groceries draws.

34.    There will be one winner nationally per Draw Period who will win £5,000 in Waitrose gift vouchers, representing a year’s worth of groceries. There will be one national draw and not, for example, separate draws for each of England, Scotland and Wales.

35.    Prizes will be awarded to entries picked at random by computer or an independent person two days after the closing date, which is 23.59 on the last day of each Draw Period (the Prize Draw Date).

36.    Each winner will be contacted by telephone, post or email within 21 days of, and receive their prize by post no later than 28 days after, the Prize Draw Date for that Draw Period.

37.    If a winner for a Draw Period cannot be contacted using reasonable efforts within 21 days from the Prize Draw Date for that Draw Period, then an alternative winner will be drawn from the entries for the applicable store or national draw that Draw Period.

38.    The prizes must be accepted as offered. There is no cash alternative. The Promoter reserves the right to award an alternative prize of equal or greater value, should the advertised prize or any part of it become unavailable.

39.    The result of the prize draws is final. No correspondence will be entered into.

40.    The name and county of each winner will be available on request by sending a stamp addressed envelope to myWaitrose, Marketing, Waitrose Limited, Doncastle Road,  Southern Industrial Area, Bracknell, Berkshire RG12 8YA and may be posted online.

41.    Each winner may be required to participate in reasonable press or PR activity related to the prize draw as notified by us.

42.    We will never release your personal details to any company outside of the John Lewis Partnership (which includes John Lewis, Waitrose, Greenbee, John Lewis Insurance and John Lewis Financial Services Ltd) for mailing or marketing purposes. By participating in the prize draws you agree that the promoter may use and store your personal details in the course of running the prize draws, as set out in these terms and conditions, for related purposes such as promoting the competition and announcing and publicising the winner and advertising the Promoter’s products, subject to compliance with applicable data protection laws.

43.    The promoter reserves the right to cancel or amend the prize draw or these rules at any time without prior notice, with no liability to any entrants.

44.    All entrants to the prize draw will be deemed to have accepted these terms and conditions.

47.    Use of the gift vouchers awarded as the prizes for each draw shall be subject to the terms and conditions on the reverse of or otherwise associated with those vouchers.
