For a list of participating retail chains in Canada, click here.

A participating retail chain or individual store location may be disqualified and removed from the Program due to business closure or incompatibility with Program eligibility, as determined by the Sponsor.

Once a determination of disqualification has been made, Members employed with that store or chain will be sent an e-mail, providing a 30-day notice of deactivation of the chain or store. During this period, Members may continue to participate in all aspects of the Program for which they are eligible.

If a Member has obtained employment at another eligible retail chain or store, they will need to update their Account with the correct information within the 30-day period to keep their Account active.

After the 30 days, Member accounts from deactivated stores or chains will be moved to an “Alumni” status, allowing them to continue to benefit from the Program’s educational opportunities, community, and Tier 3 Rewards. Additionally, Members who no longer work in retail but wish to remain active in the Program can request their account be moved to Alumni status by contacting Program Support.

Chips

“Chips” are Program points awarded for participation in various Program Activities as specified in the Program Activity’s specific terms and conditions. Chips have no monetary value, are non-transferable and may not be sold, purchased, or bartered. Chips may only be used for Program benefits by the Member who earned them. Chips are void if transferred for cash or other consideration, except for valid Program redemptions/transactions. Redemption of Chips is based on availability at the time of redemption.

Chip-earning activities and Chips that may be earned from such activities are subject to change at Sponsor’s discretion without notice. In the event of any error (including but not limited to hardware, software, and/or human caused errors) in the award of Chips, Sponsor shall have the right to correct such error and make the necessary adjustments to the number of Chips reflected in the relevant Account.

Sponsor reserves the right to establish Chip redemption rules and to set the number of Chips required to obtain Rewards. Such criteria are subject to change at Sponsor’s sole discretion without notice. The number of Chips required to redeem Rewards shall be the number set by Sponsor when Chips are redeemed, not when Chips are accrued. Notifications or changes concerning the procedures for accruing Chips, redeeming Chips and Program membership rules will be published by Sponsor and will be available at the Website. It is the responsibility of each Member to review the conditions of membership prior to redeeming Chips for Rewards.

Rewards

In order to participate in Program Rewards, eligible Members must include the following information in their account:

• Street Address (no P.O. Boxes)
• City
• State
• Zip or Postal Code
• Phone Number

Additionally, Members will need to verify their employment (see Employment Verification).

General Rewards

Merchandise ordered through the Rewards Store, Purchase Programs, Drawings, Auctions or Raffles may only be shipped to US or Canadian addresses (no post office boxes accepted) for the applicable promotion. Members stationed overseas must provide a US or Canadian mailing address (no post office boxes accepted) within the Program eligibility area for the applicable promotion.

In the event a Member wins a prize with a prize value requiring official paperwork, they may be required to provide employment documentation to a selected third-party vendor to claim said prize.

In the event a Member wins a prize that would be delivered via email, such as a digital reward code, the email containing the prize will be sent to the email address (username) associated with their profile. Be sure to check spam folders to ensure the receipt.

Purchase Programs and Drawings

At various times throughout the year, the Program offers Purchase Programs and Drawings to Members. Complete details for these offers can be found on their respective pages, linked from the Rewards section of the Website during the time of the promotion. This includes eligibility restrictions, start and end dates, items offered, Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) and complete conditions and restrictions.

Auctions

Auction and Bid Overview

Auction items will open with a starting bid to be set by the Intel® Retail Edge Program. A member must submit a bid equal to or greater than the applicable number of Chips specified to participate. For example, if an item is eligible to open with a starting bid of 1,000 Chips, the first bid must be 1,000 Chips or higher to submit. Subsequent bids must be higher than the current active bid. Bids must be submitted in pre-set increments determined by the Program. When a member submits a bid, the applicable amount of Chips will be temporarily removed from their account, and their bid becomes the new active bid.

Each Auction will close at a randomly selected time on a day that is specified in advance by the Program. In the event a member is the high bidder at the conclusion of bidding, the applicable amount of Chips will be permanently removed from their account and he/she will be notified. In the event a member is not the highest bidder for an item, any/all Chips submitted by such member for the applicable item will be returned to their account.

Members can only have one active bid during an Auction. Once a bid is placed, it cannot be undone. If a member is outbid, they may continue to place a new bid on the same item or choose to bid on a new item. Members will be notified by email and site notification that they are a winner or if they have opted in to receive updates that they have been outbid on an item.

Members must be verified to bid in an Auction. If a member has the highest bid and then their verification expires, they can still win since they were verified at the time of their bid.

Auction Items General Conditions

No transfer, substitution or cash redemption of any item received is permitted, except by Intel® Retail Edge Program, which reserves the right to substitute an item with one of comparable or greater value. All item details are at the Sponsor’s sole discretion. There is a limit of one (1) Auction win per member throughout the Auction Period. Noncompliance with these Official Rules by any potential award recipient will result in disqualification and, at Intel® Retail Edge Program’s sole discretion, the item may be placed back up for bid. All winning bids are final. Cancellations will not be honored. All prizes will be delivered to the winner’s address based on the Auction profile created at the time of the first bid.

Raffles

Raffles will be posted to the Raffles page. Each Raffle will detail the date of the Raffle closure, any required trainings members must complete to participate, the prize descriptions and values and any additional requirements for participation.

Members must be verified to enter a Raffle. Verification must be current when acquiring entries and at the time a winner is drawn. If verification lapses before the winner is selected, all entries will be forfeited.

Verified Program members must complete the requirements for that Raffle to unlock the Raffle. Once unlocked, the member can acquire entries for the Raffle using Chips. Details regarding Chip amounts and maximum entries will be posted on the Raffle page. Entries are non-refundable unless no winner is selected. Entries can only be acquired using Chips.

At the close of the Raffle, a winner will be selected at random and contacted to complete documentation.

The full and complete Terms and Conditions governing Raffles can be found on the Raffles page.
