3. BINDING AGREEMENT
These Official Rules (“Rules”) constitute a legally binding agreement between Sponsor and each entrant and govern entry in the Sweepstakes. Participation constitutes entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to and acceptance of these Rules and Sponsor’s decisions, which are final and binding in all matters relating to the Sweepstakes.

The Sweepstakes is open only to persons who are legal residents of, and physically located within, the 50 United States or the District of Columbia (excluding residents of Rhode Island and U.S. Territories), are at least eighteen (18) years of age at the time of entry (“Eligible Participants”), and are not currently subscribed to receive Eddie Bauer email marketing at the time they complete the Email Entry described below.

The Sweepstakes is void where prohibited or restricted by law.
5. HOW TO ENTER; ENTRY METHODS; ENTRY LIMIT
Eligible Participants may receive up to three (3) total entries during the Sweepstakes Period, with no more than one (1) entry available through each of the entry methods described below. An Eligible Participant must first complete the Email Entry before any additional entry may be credited. Multiple submissions, subscriptions, orders, or attempts through the same entry method will not result in more than one entry for that method. The maximum number of entries permitted per Eligible Participant is three (3).
ENTRY METHOD 1 - EMAIL SUBSCRIPTION (ONE ENTRY). During the Sweepstakes Period, visit the Winter 26 Giveaway entry page on https://www.eddiebauer.com/pages/2026-winter-sweepstakes and accurately complete and submit the embedded entry form, including first name, last name, and a valid email address, and agree to the required eligibility, Official Rules, privacy, and email-marketing disclosures presented on the form. A valid new Eddie Bauer email marketing subscription completed through the Sweepstakes entry form will receive one (1) Sweepstakes entry (“Email Entry”).
ENTRY METHOD 2 - SMS SUBSCRIPTION (ONE ADDITIONAL ENTRY). After completing the Email Entry, an Eligible Participant may receive one (1) additional entry by texting the keyword “SWEEPS” to 59804 during the Sweepstakes Period and successfully completing the Eddie Bauer SMS marketing subscription process in accordance with the instructions and disclosures presented at the time of opt-in (“SMS Entry”). The SMS Entry will be credited only if Sponsor is able to associate the SMS subscription with the Eligible Participant’s valid Email Entry. Message and data rates may apply. SMS marketing consent is subject to the terms and disclosures presented at the time of opt-in. An entrant may receive no more than one (1) SMS Entry.
ENTRY METHOD 3 - QUALIFYING GIFT GUIDE PURCHASE (ONE ADDITIONAL ENTRY). After completing the Email Entry, an Eligible Participant may receive one (1) additional entry by placing one qualifying order of at least seventy-five dollars ($75.00) during the Sweepstakes Period (“Purchase Entry”). The order information must be sufficient for Sponsor to associate the qualifying purchase with the Eligible Participant’s valid Email Entry. An entrant may receive no more than one (1) Purchase Entry regardless of the number or value of qualifying orders placed.
All entries must be received and recorded by Sponsor during the Sweepstakes Period. Incomplete, inaccurate, late, illegible, corrupted, or otherwise noncompliant entries are void. Entries generated by script, macro, automated means, multiple identities, multiple email accounts, or any method designed to circumvent the entry limits are void and may result in disqualification. If Sponsor determines that an entrant attempted to receive more than the permitted number of entries, Sponsor may void some or all entries associated with that entrant.
By completing the Email Entry, entrant agrees to receive U.S. marketing email communications from Sponsor until entrant chooses to unsubscribe, subject to the disclosures presented at the time of signup. By completing the SMS Entry, entrant agrees to receive SMS marketing communications from Sponsor pursuant to the disclosures presented at the time of SMS opt-in. Entrants may unsubscribe from email or SMS marketing in accordance with the applicable instructions; any effect of a later opt-out on Sweepstakes eligibility will be determined in accordance with these Rules and applicable law.
6. PRIZE; WINNER SELECTION; ODDS
On or about January 13th, 2027 Sponsor will conduct a random drawing from all eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period. Each valid Email Entry, SMS Entry, and Purchase Entry will constitute one separate entry in the drawing, subject to the three-entry maximum described in Section 5. Sponsor will select one (1) potential Prize winner and may select up to three (3) alternate potential winners.
The selected potential winner, subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Rules, will receive one (1) digital eddiebauer.com gift card in the amount of one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,500.00) (the “Prize”). The Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) of the Prize is $1,500.00.
The Prize is non-transferable and may not be assigned, exchanged, refunded, or redeemed for cash except in Sponsor’s sole discretion or as required by applicable law. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the advertised Prize becomes unavailable for any reason. The digital gift card is subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions, and expiration policies, if any, applicable to eddiebauer.com gift cards at the time of issuance.
Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received and credited during the Sweepstakes Period. Because Eligible Participants may receive up to three valid entries, an entrant’s number of valid entries in the drawing will correspond to the number of valid entry methods completed, subject to the three-entry maximum.
All federal, state, and local taxes and any other costs or expenses associated with acceptance or use of the Prize that are not expressly stated as included are the sole responsibility of the winner. Sponsor makes no warranties or guarantees regarding the Prize except as expressly stated herein.
7. NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL WINNER
The potential winner will be contacted by email at the email address associated with the winning Email Entry within approximately three (3) business days after the drawing. The potential winner must respond to Sponsor or Sponsor’s designated Customer Service representative within seventy-two (72) hours after the initial notification unless Sponsor specifies a different response deadline in the notification.
If the potential winner cannot be contacted, does not respond within the required period, is ineligible, fails to comply with these Rules, declines the Prize, or otherwise fails to satisfy the Winner Requirements, the potential winner will forfeit the Prize and Sponsor may select an alternate potential winner from among the remaining eligible entries. Sponsor may repeat this process with up to three (3) alternate potential winners, after which the Prize may remain unawarded.
In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of an entrant, the Email Entry will be deemed submitted by the authorized account holder of the email address used to enter. Sponsor may require proof that the potential winner is the authorized account holder and that all eligibility and entry requirements have been met.
8. WINNER REQUIREMENTS; DIGITAL FULFILLMENT
The potential winner must comply with all terms and conditions of these Rules and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. The potential winner may be required to execute and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release and an IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification) or other documents reasonably required by Sponsor (collectively, the “Prize Claim Documents”) within five (5) business days of issuance or within another period specified by Sponsor.
After the potential winner is verified and all required Prize Claim Documents have been completed and accepted, Sponsor or its designee will deliver the $1,500 digital eddiebauer.com gift card electronically to the verified winner at the email address confirmed during winner verification. Delivery timing: approximately one (1) week after verification. Sponsor is not responsible for delivery failure caused by inaccurate contact information, spam filtering, email-service issues, or other circumstances outside Sponsor’s reasonable control.
Except where prohibited by law, acceptance of the Prize constitutes winner’s consent to Sponsor’s and the Promotion Entities’ use of winner’s name, city and state, biographical information, Prize information, photograph, likeness, voice, and/or other approved materials for advertising, publicity, promotional, and trade purposes in any media now known or later developed without additional compensation or notice.
9. RELEASE AND LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY
