Rutter's Kicks Off Its Biggest VIP Summer Sweepstakes
YORK, Pa. — Rutter's is rewarding its loyalty members with its 2022 VIP Summer Sweepstakes. The convenience store chain will give away more than $100,000 in prizes to its VIP customers during the next four months.
"We're excited to make Summer 2022 the biggest Rutter's sweepstakes yet," said Robert Perkins, vice president of marketing at Rutter's. "With over $100,000 in prizes, including instant wins, customers can come out and enjoy their favorite things at Rutter's for a chance to win big."
To participate, customers must be registered as a Rutter's VIP Rewards member. For each participating item purchased at a Rutter's location, the customer will receive a digital game ticket, emailed directly to their inbox. Tickets will reveal instant prizes or sweepstakes entries, and every digital game ticket will also include two collect-to-win markers.
Instant prizes include free food and drinks from participating supplier companies, including Red Bull, Monster Energy, Coke, PepsiCo, Rutter's Dairy and many more. Sweepstakes entries provide chances to win weekly $50 and monthly $500 Rutter's gift card prizes, and customers can collect game pieces electronically to win free Rutter's coffee for a year, free fountain beverages for a year and free fuel for a year, along with $2,500 Rutter's gift cards and the grand prize of a $5,000 Rutter's gift card.
Rutter's VIP Summer Sweepstakes began on April 25 and runs through August 28. No purchase is necessary.
