Applebee’s is one of America’s favorite locations for enjoying the fall football season each year, and this year will be no different. Gather up your football loving family and friends and enjoy this season’s games on the screens at your local Applebee’s for a chance to win valuable gift cards. The restaurant chain has announced their new Check-In and Win contest and sweepstakes. A partnership with ESPN means that the grand prize for the sweepstakes is sure to make any football fan happy.
Restaurant fans just need to visit for a Monday night game and check in through Facebook Places while enjoying their favorite Applebee’s dishes. The restaurant will provide a QR code for fans to scan with their smart phones to make the check-in valid. With each weekly check-in, the guests have the chance to instantly win an Applebee’s Digital gift card for $5, $10 or $20. Each check-in is also an entry into the sweepstakes. The grand prize winner will receive a trip to New York City and a visit to the ESPN headquarters. The visit will include a tour of the ESPN center and a full Experience package. No purchase is necessary to enter either contest.
The ESPN package will include three days and two nights in New York City and Bristol, Connecticut, the home of ESPN. The winner will tour the studios and receive $200 worth of merchandise out of the ESPN exclusive store. Applebee’s will also give them a $200 gift card so they can enjoy the restaurant chain’s food while on their trip. The winner will be chosen later in the year, but instant winners will receive notifications of their prizes immediately after checking in.
