Sent message via Contact us - Contest originally was to start APRIL 2nd, then changed to APRIL 13. The blurb on contest splash page says not LIVE yet.
See attached and here: http://marsroadtrip.ca/english/SplashPage.aspx
However, I clicked on Rules and Upload a receipt so that part of contest is working.
In anticipation of April 2nd or later start date this month I have purchased and consumed several MARS bars already.
I trust that receipts for any participating MARS product dated APRIL 2015 will be accepted - otherwise not fair to contesters and MY waist line!

Uploaded a receipt today, got a message that I'll hear within 48 hours if receipt was verified.

Interesting process. It says your "instant win" time is based on when you entered your receipt.

Not quite as nice as the free 30 days of Spotify when I got the Chromecast or the free Google Play music downloads but the GCs could be handy, especially the Visa one. Thanks again for the live link...

Based on the way I read it, you can't do that. You need to purchase each bar separately.

I put one in early this morning, around 1:30am but didn't receive anything. They say up to 48 hours to respond but I usually get the emails in 6 to 12 hours, except for this time...

I sent them an email and this was their response:

To enter the contest, you must upload a new receipt each time. You can upload one receipt every day.

Thanks and Good Luck!

Has anyone had any luck using receipts from Dollarama? I had one that I submitted, it simply said "Mars Bar" but no size or UPC. I wonder if they will take it?

Also, does the receipt have to be entered for the day it was purchased? In other words, can I only enter a receipt on April 20 for a bar purchased on April 20? Or could I buy three bars on April 20 (on 3 seperate reciepts), and enter one per day on April 20/21/22?

I bought several bars on the same day. They all have different time stamps. When you scan them give them a time or number. Never heard back on the last one but the two prior ones were received. Didn't win though. Going to do another I bought yesterday, so they don't have to be for the day you bought them.
