2018/10/31 Uncover The Secret - 3M Science PUR ONLY (can send email and get code via mail)

http://capromos.3m.com/UncoverTheSecret/index.html

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. There are two (2) ways to obtain a PIN Code, as follows:
Eligible Purchase: If you visit a participating retailer and purchase a specially-marked package of Scotch® Super 33+™ Vinyl Electrical Tape, Scotch® Super 88 Vinyl Electrical Tape, Scotch® Vinyl Electrical Tape 35 (Blue, Green, Red, Yellow, or White), or 3M Performance Plus™ Wire Connector Pouches or Jugs, (while supplies last) (each, an “Eligible Product”) between May 1, 2018 at 12:00 a.m. ET and October 31, 2018 at 11:59 p.m. ET (the “Purchase Period”) (collectively, an “Eligible Purchase”), you will receive one (1) PIN Code, while supplies last
OR
No Purchase Request: To receive a PIN Code (while supplies last) without having to make an Eligible Purchase send an email to uncoverthesecret@mmm.com during the Purchase Period that includes your first name, last name, telephone number, complete mailing address, email address and a 50 word or more unique and original essay on the advantages of using high-quality electrical products (collectively, a “No Purchase Request”). If your No Purchase Request is submitted and received in accordance with these Rules (as determined by the Contest Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion), one (1) PIN Code will be mailed to you through Canada Post (while supplies last, 40 NO Purchase PIN Codes available). The Released Parties (as defined below) take no responsibility for any lost, stolen, delayed, illegible, damaged, misdirected, late or destroyed No Purchase Requests. NO MORE NPE REQUESTS LEFT.

I didn't play this one, than I read the rules and it turns out there's a NPE option. Should keep it to myself, but sharing is better. Good luck all.

*Setting reminder to play more dailies*

For some reason, I can't scroll their rules so if you want to list out the prizes, cool.

I just wrote a while ago and got the pin code in the mail. No win, but for a non-mailed, mailer delivery. Good on them for still sending because the 40 was kinda ridiculous.

Today is June 18, contest ends October 31. Wow, this sure is a new twist.
Contest entry confirmation emails titled "Congratulations" are all the proof you need that you are doing business with companies that are either deceptive, or condescending, or both!

Despite receiving an email that no more PINs were available from my NPE request, I received one in the mail today.
