Students can win up to $5000 toward tuition

 
As recently posted in the McMaster Daily News, Interac Online and the Student Accounts and Cashiers office are running a contest that could win you up to $5000 off your tuition fees. All you have to do is use Interac Online to make payments toward your student account balance between Feb. 6 and March 15 and for each payment (up to five) you will be entered for a chance to win your 2011-2012 tuition (up to $5000).

Liz McDonough, coordinator of customer service for student accounts, said: "We're hoping that students will become comfortable with using Interact Online for making future payments. By making payments to their accounts to enter, we are encouraging students to meet the payment deadline of March 15. We are thrilled that for one lucky student this will be a great opportunity to win free money!"

If you really wanted to, you could go get a new student card for 30 dollars, and then tell them to charge it on your student account.

It would be like buying a lottery ticket though, so it's probably not worth it.

3. HOW TO ENTER:

NO PURCHASE/PAYMENT NECESSARY. There are two (2) ways to enter:
Entry With PAYMENT: Each time up to five (5) times during the Contest Period when an Eligible Entrant or a parent/legal guardian on behalf on an Eligible Entrant makes an Interac Online payment to their student account at McMaster University (the "Eligible Purchase(s)"), the Eligible Entrant will automatically receive one entry into the Contest. The following are excluded for being eligible for entry: a) payment made by an unauthorized user; b) payments made with Cards which are stolen, fraudulent, tampered with, or otherwise altered. No minimum payment amounts required. Maximum payment amount determined by each financial institution.

Entry Without PAYMENT: To enter without payment or obligation, hand-print your name, address, city, province/ territory, postal code, day and evening telephone numbers, and a 100-word or more handwritten essay on "the Value of Interac Online", and mail in a postage stamped envelope to: "Interac Online Win Your Tuition at McMaster", P.O. Box 9901, Oakville, ON, L6J 0B8. Interac cardholders must include the first eight (8) digits of their Interac branded debit card (the "Card(s)") number of verification purposes. Maximum of one (1) entry per envelope with sufficient postage. Maximum of five (5) entries per person. Non-purchase entries must be postmarked by March 15, 2012 and received by March 31, 2012. No mechanical reproductions permitted. Entries become the property of the Sponsor and will not be returned. The Releasees (defined below) take no responsibility for, and accept no liability in relation to, any lost, stolen, delayed, damaged, misdirected, late or destroyed non-purchase entries. Maximum 5 Entries per student by any method combined.


Wowww. Entry without payment sucks. A 100-word handwritten essay? Might as well just make a payment and then have the university owe you money at the end of the year, it's less of a hassle.
