How to qualify for Promotion

To enter the promotion, you must make a Qualifying Payment during the applicable Promotional Tap Period (depending on when you activate an Eligible Card or if you are a user that has added and activated an Eligible Card but has not yet used Android Pay before the Promotion Period) while there are Prizes remaining. A “Qualifying Payment” is a payment made at least one minute apart from another payment made via Android Pay either

  • at an in-store contactless payment terminal that accepts payments via Android Pay; or
  • at the check-out for an in-app purchase.

Subject to these terms, and provided you have not opted out (or do not opt-out) of the Promotion, when you make a Qualifying Payment during your Promotional Tap Period you will receive an envelope sent to you via the Android Pay app (an “Envelope”). Each Envelope is an entry in the Promotion.

Remember that all your information is safe and secure with Android Pay and your actual card number is never shared. Instead, a virtual account number is used so that your card details are always kept safe. Also, Android Pay is available on all non-rooted Android devices (KitKat 4.4+).

If you are still far behind in knowing what is Android Pay then note that you can now pay with your Android smartphone by adding your credit, debit, loyalty, and gift cards to Android Pay, and start shopping in stores, in apps, and online. Suppose you are the grocery store and wish to pay for your fresh fruits and veggies just make sure your phone is unlocked and hold it to the terminal — you don’t even need to open the app and pay for the bill.

Other important information

You must be aged 18 or over to enter the Promotion, or if you are under the age of 18, you must have parental consent to enter the Promotion. Also you must be a resident of Australia in order to enter the Promotion.

If you open the Envelope, you will receive a notification immediately telling you if you have won a Prize and, if you have won, the Prize shown will be automatically saved in your Android Pay app.

You may only make a maximum of 10 Qualifying Payments in any calendar day. If you make more than 10 Qualifying Payments in a calendar day, you will only receive an Envelope for each of your first 10 Qualifying Payments.

Only one Eligible Card per person may be used in connection with the Promotion. You can add more than one card to the Android Pay app, however only the first card added and activated will be deemed the Eligible Card for the Promotion. This is a game of chance and winners will be determined at random and not by the use of any skill.
