I'm so thankful for all you all do for Military Veterans.
Free online entry removed?? Violation of federal law!
I used to enter for free on the website using the “Alternate Method of Entry” form. Now when I try to use this form the “submit” button has been replaced by a “print” button. Upon reading the fine print, it seems that now the only way to enter without a subscription is by mail. However, this is NOT free, as you’d have to buy many stamps to get 20 entries a month for each giveaway. One Country specifies you can’t put multiple forms in one envelope. (To make it even more cumbersome, they also mandate that each form be filled out separately, no photocopies, and that each envelope be hand addressed - no address labels!) To enter a giveaway 20x would require an entire book of stamps ($15.50) - for EACH giveaway. To enter all current giveaways would cost $78! (Not to mention countless hours of time addressing envelopes!) This is a violation of United States law which requires prize giveaways to have a FREE (not postage-paid) method of entry to avoid classification as an illegal lottery. Further, it’s just another attempt to manipulate people into paying for a subscription while falsely advertising a free method of entry. Highly disappointed, and would expect better from One Country.
I will happily upgrade my review to 5 star if they restore an actually free method of entry online. However, if this is not brought into compliance with federal law in a timely fashion, I will consider reporting this violation to the Department of Justice.
