PROMO DESCRIPTION:   Pay and Win with Your Veterans Bank Debit Card Raffle Promo is targeted at existing Veterans Bank Debit Cardholders to entice them to use their Veterans Bank Debit Cards for purchase or payment of a product or service (via Point-of-Sale devices at retail establishments or payment centers) and earn electronic raffle tickets for a chance to win cash prizes in the monthly draws and the Grand Draw.   The continuing objective of the promo is to encourage and promote the habit of cashless payments among Veterans Bank Debit Cardholders.   PROMO DURATION:   January 16 – April 15, 2025 (3 months)   ELIGIBILITY: All Veterans Bank Debit Cardholders whose debit cards are active during the promo period are automatically included in the raffle promo.

There is no limit to the number electronic raffle tickets that an individual can earn as long as they are earned during the promo period. Depending on the date of transaction, an individual can qualify for the corresponding monthly draw (based on covered period). Additionally, an individual can win in any or all the monthly draws provided he/she has a qualified POS transaction for each covered period of the weekly draws.   PRIZES AND DRAW SCHEDULES   MONTHLY DRAWS Monthly Prize P 1,000 3 Winners Monthly Draw Schedules   Covered Period Draw Date 1st Monthly Draw January 16 – February 15, 2025 February 20, 2025 (10am) 2nd Monthly Draw February 16 – March 15, 2025 March 20, 2025 (10am) 3rd Monthly Draw March 16 – April 15, 2025 April 23, 2025 (10am)   GRAND DRAW 1st Prize P 5,000 1 Winner 2nd Prize P 3,000 1 Winner 3rd Prize P 2,000 1 Winner   Covered Period Draw Date Grand Draw January 16 – April 15, 2025 April 23, 2025 (10am)     FULL MECHANICS   All Veterans Bank Debit Cardholders whose accounts are active during the promo period starting January 16 to April 15, 2025 will automatically be included in the raffle. If an individual wants to be excluded from the raffle promo, he/she must inform his/her PVB Branch of Account or send an email to digitalpromos@veteransbank.com.ph.   To be qualified for the raffle promo, an individual must make a successful P.O.S. (point-of-sale) transaction at any retail establishment or payment center that accepts Veterans Bank Debit Cards for payment during the promo period. Qualification for the monthly draws will be based on the covered period as indicated in the table above while all non-winning entries automatically qualify for the Grand Draw.   Each successful POS transaction will automatically generate a unique electronic raffle ticket (e-raffle ticket) for the individual. The number of e-raffle tickets will be sent to participants via SMS within 10 days after each month using the participant’s registered mobile number with the Bank.   All scheduled monthly draws and the Grand Draw will be held live and virtually at the Veterans Bank Head Office located at 101 Rufino corner Dela Rosa Streets, Legazpi Village, Makati City in the presence and supervision of Veterans Bank and DTI-FTEB representatives. During the draw process, the names of winners and the corresponding details of their winning entry will be displayed on the raffle system for the DTI-FTEB and Veterans Bank representatives to see and review its validity.   An individual can win in any and/or all monthly draws as long as he/she has a valid POS transaction during the monthly draws’ covered periods. However, an individual can only win once per monthly draw.   For example, if a winner is drawn a second time during the same draw (i.e. having more than one entry for the period), the second winning entry will be disqualified, and a new winner will be drawn.    Additionally, an individual who has won in the monthly draws can still win in the Grand Draw if he/she has other non-winning e-raffle tickets. During the Grand Draw, if an individual’s name is drawn more than once, he/she will receive the prize with the greater amount. Consequently, a new winner will be electronically drawn for the lesser prize.   For both the monthly draws and the Grand Draw, if a drawn entry does not meet any of the requirements, terms and conditions of the promo, Veterans Bank reserves the right to select another winner. For this purpose, Veterans Bank shall draw three (3) additional entries as reserves.   Veterans Bank reserves the right to certify whether or not a winning cardholder is an eligible cardholder and that his/her account satisfies the criteria set in the promo mechanics.   Winners will be announced by Veterans Bank through all available channels including but not limited to its website and Veterans Bank Official Facebook page.   Winners will be notified of their winning within two (2) weeks from the draw date via registered mail and email. Redemption of prize is within sixty (60) days from receipt of the registered mail notification. Unclaimed prizes will be forfeited in favor of the Bank upon prior approval of the DTI-FTEB.   Prizes for the monthly draws and the Grand Draw will be credited to the winning individual’s Veterans Bank account. Additionally, after receiving the prize, winners’ must submit the following to digitalpromos@veteransbank.com.ph: Signed Acknowledgement Receipt Digital copy of government-issued ID All prizes are tax-free, non-transferrable, and not convertible to gift certificates, vouchers, or any other form.   All decisions of Veterans Bank regarding this promo, in concurrence with DTI rules and regulations, will be deemed final and non-negotiable.   The promo is subject to the Terms and Conditions governing the issuance and use of the Veterans Bank Debit Cards.   Employees of Philippine Veterans Bank, its subsidiaries and outsourced agencies, including their relatives up to second degree of consanguinity or affinity are not eligible to join the promo.     Per DTI Fair Trade Permit No. FTEB-211243 Series of 2025.
