TO OBTAIN ENTRIES: Chase or WaMu Debit Card Customers: You will receive one (1) Entry each time You make a qualifying purchase with your eligible Chase or WaMu debit card during the Promotional Period. Qualifying purchases include all eligible debit card purchases made without using a PIN. Such “non-PIN” purchases include purchases you sign for, purchases made using the contact-less feature of some cards (as long as a PIN is not used), Internet purchases, phone or mail-order purchases, small dollar purchases that do not require a signature, and bill payments (where billers process the transaction as a credit card). Cash advances, cash transactions, purchases authorized with a PIN (personal identification number) and ATM transactions do not qualify. Chase debit cards, WaMu debit cards and Chase-branded debit cards issued to WaMu customers are eligible to participate in this Sweepstakes except as provided below. If at any time during the Promotional Period your debit card is deactivated or replaced by a new bank-issued card, then you will need to activate your new replacement card and repeat the opt-in process to continue your participation in this Sweepstakes. Chase debit cards linked to a Chase High School CheckingSM account are ineligible for this Sweepstakes. (Fees may apply to debit card transactions.) To participate without purchase: You will receive one (1) Entry each time You visit www.chase.com/afoepickuptab6 and follow the instructions posted on-screen. Limit 5 entries (defined below) per day per person and limit 10 entries per week per person, regardless of method of entry. A week is defined as the five- (5-) day period beginning at 12:00:00 a.m. ET on Mondays through 11:59:59 p.m. on Fridays throughout the Promotional Period. Because debit card purchases do not post on Saturdays or Sundays of any week, no entries will be accepted from 12:00:00 a.m. ET on any Saturday through 11:59:59 p.m. ET on any Sunday, regardless of method of entry. Further, no entries will be accepted on: Columbus Day (10/12/09), Veterans Day (11/11/09), Thanksgiving Day (11/26/09) or Christmas Day (12/25/09) (“Holidays”) from 12:00:00 a.m. ET through 11:59:59 p.m. on Holidays because debit card purchases do not post on those days. Qualifying purchases made on Saturday and Sunday, Holidays and the Early Enrollment Period (12:00:00 a.m. ET on 10/1/09 through 11:59:59 p.m. ET on 10/4/09) will count as entries in the Sweepstakes providing they post in the Chase/WaMu Database during the Promotional Period by 11:59:59 p.m. on 12/31/09. In the event more than 5 entries are received in any day or 10 entries are received in any week, only the first 5 entries per day and first 10 entries per week will be entered into the Sweepstakes.

TIME STAMPS/DRAWINGS: Each debit card purchase and online submission (collectively “Entry”) that occurs throughout the Promotional Period, including the Early Enrollment Period (providing the entry posts during the Promotional Period), will be stamped based upon the date on which the participant’s Entry is posted and the exact time of day that the Entry took place (“Time Stamped”), and then recorded, in the Chase/WaMu Database (“Database”). To be deemed eligible and be placed in the Database, all entries must have a Time Stamp with a posting date that is prior to the end of the Promotional Period. The recorded Time Stamp of Your Entry, as recorded by the Database technology, will determine which Drawing your Entry will be eligible for. One (1) winner (subject to verification) will be randomly chosen from every five-minute period (each a “Drawing”) between 12:00:00 a.m. ET on Monday and 11:59:59 p.m. on Friday throughout the entire Promotional Period excluding Holidays. There will be a total of 17,280 Drawings throughout the entire Promotional Period. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
