Order with Postmates: Open the Postmates app (“Postmates app”), enter the promo code LAFC23 in the “Payment” section of the Postmates app before placing your order of $30.00 or more (before taxes and fees) to receive one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes. Once you have placed an order and the applicable promo code has been applied, you are now entered for a chance to win.  To enter the Sweepstakes by this method, a Postmates account is required, and can be obtained at no cost at postmates.com or by downloading the app from the appropriate app store. Data and usage rates may apply. By entering the promo code at checkout, Entrant is acknowledging and agreeing to these Official Rules.  Any entries that constitute unlawful behavior will be disqualified from the Sweepstakes. No purchase or order with Postmates is necessary to enter or win.  

Alternate Method of Entry:  To enter without placing an order and entering the promo code in the Postmates app, complete the form found at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdoGUIOwi_il2qSqHKhoA0TMB73JoOyhiQw8y2fyNT5TpE0GQ/view and provide your complete name, phone number and valid email address associated with your Postmates account to receive one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes.

Multiple Entrants are not permitted to share the same email address.  Any entries that constitute unlawful behavior will be disqualified from the Sweepstakes. By entering the promo code at checkout, Entrant is acknowledging and agreeing to these Official Rules. Postmates in its sole discretion will decide whether a given entry satisfies the criteria for entry in the Sweepstakes. Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different email or addresses, accounts, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that entrant’s entries and that entrant may be disqualified.  Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification.  In the event of a dispute as to any entrant, the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the entry will be deemed to be the entrant.  The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the entry.  Each potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.  Postmates will make the final determination of identity of entrants in its sole discretion.
