Avoid These Common Mistakes When Entering Modo Sweepstakes by Mail
Modo gives players a fair way to join their sweepstakes without spending money. Through the Alternate Method of Entry (AMOE), you can mail in a request to receive free Sweeps Coins. It sounds straightforward, but here’s the catch: if your envelope or card isn’t written exactly the way Modo requires, your entry may not count.
To save you the frustration of wasted stamps and rejected entries, we’ve created templates for both the envelope and the index card. They’ll keep you on track. But before you grab them, let’s look at the biggest mistakes people make when sending in their Modo entries — and how to avoid them.
Mistake #1: Wrong Envelope Layout
One of the most common errors is formatting the envelope incorrectly — maybe the return address is missing, or the recipient’s info isn’t in the right place. That can be an instant rejection. Our envelope template solves this problem by showing you exactly how to lay it out, line by line. Just copy the format and you’re safe.
Mistake #2: Using the Wrong Card Size
A lot of players assume regular notebook paper is fine, but Modo specifically requires a blank 4×6 index card. If you send anything else, your request may not be accepted. That’s why we provide an index card template designed for 4×6 cards — so you can see exactly what to write, and where.
Mistake #3: Forgetting the Official Statement
Modo requires you to include a short request statement asking for Sweeps Coins. Leave this out, or change the wording, and your entry won’t qualify. The index card template includes the exact text, so you don’t miss a word.
Mistake #4: Smudged or Sloppy Ink
Even if you’ve got the right card and envelope, smudged ink or messy handwriting can cause delays or rejection. Using a good-quality pen makes your entry much easier to read.
Mistake #5: Overlooking the Small Stuff
Even little details can trip you up:
-
Forgetting postage.
-
Writing in pencil instead of pen.
-
Leaving off your return address.
-
Not double-checking the sweepstakes address.
Take an extra minute to review everything against the templates before you seal your envelope.
The Simple Solution
With our envelope and index card templates, you don’t have to worry about these mistakes. Just follow the examples, drop your request in the mail, and Modo will process your entry so you can receive free Sweeps Coins — no purchase necessary.
