Why this grade

Hallmark Cards, Inc. Official rules we opened state NPN and a mail-in AMOE. Grand prize ARV $3,752.94 is itemized (Kansas City trip Dec 4–6, 2026). Not A-range because a Rewards account is required for every method including mail, the purchase-receipt path is the loud one, 21+, and the window is a single August.

What it is

Hallmark Cards, Inc. and Hallmark Canada ran a Gold Crown sweepstakes Aug 1–31, 2026 for a Kansas City Hallmark Christmas Experience trip. Official rules publish NPN, a registration entry, a purchase-receipt entry, and a mail AMOE. Mail still requires the Rewards-account email.
