Last Updated: November 3, 2026
These Gamification & Participation Rules (“Rules”) apply when you participate in a Scanpaigns-powered experience that includes points, achievements, rewards, challenges, progression, entries, rankings, leaderboards, badges, streaks, unlockables, or other gamification features.
These Rules supplement the Scanpaigns Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Individual Scanpaigns experiences may also include additional campaign-specific rules, instructions, eligibility requirements, prize rules, or other terms (“Experience Rules”).
By participating in a gamified Scanpaigns experience, you agree to these Rules and any applicable Experience Rules.
If these Rules conflict with properly presented Experience Rules governing a specific activity, promotion, contest, sweepstakes, prize, or experience, the more specific Experience Rules will control with respect to that subject matter.
1. Scanpaigns Experiences
Scanpaigns-powered experiences may involve one or more participating businesses, sponsors, organizations, venues, events, locations, or other entities.
Experiences may include activities involving:
- physical or digital touchpoints;
- visits to participating locations;
- QR codes, NFC tags, geofences, or other interaction technologies;
- challenges or scavenger hunts;
- points;
- badges or achievements;
- streaks;
- progression or milestones;
- referrals;
- rankings or leaderboards;
- unlockable content or experiences;
- rewards or offers;
- purchase-related activities;
- prize entries; or
- other forms of participation.
An experience may contain multiple activities, tracks, challenges, locations, or other opportunities to participate. Completion of one activity does not necessarily constitute completion of the entire experience.
The particular activities available, how they qualify, and the benefits associated with them may vary by experience.
2. Experience-Specific Information
Each gamified Scanpaigns experience may provide information explaining how that particular experience operates.
Depending on the experience, this information may include:
- start and end dates;
- participating locations;
- eligible activities or touchpoints;
- point values;
- frequency or participation limits;
- qualifying purchase requirements;
- location-verification requirements;
- achievements or milestones;
- reward thresholds;
- available rewards;
- leaderboard or ranking methods;
- prize opportunities;
- eligibility requirements; and
- other experience-specific conditions.
You are responsible for reviewing the information presented for the experience in which you participate.
Activities, point values, rewards, and requirements may differ between Scanpaigns experiences.
3. Qualifying Activities
Points, progress, achievements, entries, rewards, or other benefits are earned only through activities that satisfy the requirements established for the applicable experience.
A qualifying activity may include, for example:
- visiting a participating location;
- interacting with an eligible touchpoint;
- completing a required action;
- visiting multiple participating locations;
- returning after a specified period;
- completing a challenge;
- providing a qualifying referral;
- making and verifying an eligible purchase;
- interacting during an eligible date or time period; or
- satisfying another activity identified by the applicable experience.
Simply accessing, viewing, scanning, tapping, or otherwise interacting with a touchpoint does not necessarily mean that the interaction qualifies for points, progress, rewards, entries, or other benefits.
4. Touchpoint Interactions
Scanpaigns experiences may use physical or digital touchpoints to recognize qualifying activities.
Touchpoints may include QR codes, NFC tags, geofences, websites, product packaging, signage, venue or event markers, or other interaction technologies.
A touchpoint may be subject to requirements such as:
- a specific participating location;
- physical presence;
- an eligible date or time;
- a minimum period between qualifying interactions;
- a maximum number of qualifying interactions;
- completion of another activity;
- a qualifying purchase;
- location verification;
- user or device eligibility; or
- other requirements identified by the experience.
The availability of a touchpoint does not mean that unlimited interactions with that touchpoint will qualify.
5. Visit and Location-Based Activities
Certain activities may award points, progress, achievements, entries, rewards, or other benefits for visiting or engaging at an eligible physical location.
Where an activity requires physical presence, Scanpaigns may use the location associated with the touchpoint, device location information, interaction timing, technical information, or other reasonable verification methods to determine whether the activity qualifies.
You may be asked to permit access to location information from your device.
Declining location permission does not necessarily prevent participation in the overall experience. However, if location verification is required for a particular activity and Scanpaigns cannot reasonably verify the qualifying location, that activity may not qualify for the associated points, progress, reward, entry, achievement, or other benefit.
Location information is handled as described in the Scanpaigns Privacy Policy.
6. Purchase Touchpoints and Purchase-Based Activities
A purchase or proof of purchase is not necessarily required to participate in a Scanpaigns gamification experience.
Scanpaigns experiences may provide multiple ways to participate, earn points, progress, complete activities, or otherwise engage without making a purchase.
Certain optional activities, however, may be specifically associated with a qualifying purchase or transaction (“Purchase Touchpoints”).
If you choose to participate through a Purchase Touchpoint, the applicable activity may require:
- a purchase from an eligible participating business;
- a purchase during an eligible date or time period;
- purchase of an eligible product or service;
- satisfaction of a minimum or other qualifying purchase condition;
- interaction with the applicable Purchase Touchpoint; and/or
- proof that the qualifying transaction occurred.
The applicable experience will determine the requirements and benefits associated with a Purchase Touchpoint.
Failure to satisfy or verify a Purchase Touchpoint does not necessarily prevent you from participating in other eligible activities within the experience.
7. Proof of Purchase
Where proof of purchase is required, acceptable proof may include:
- a receipt;
- an electronic receipt;
- a transaction record;
- a purchase confirmation;
- verification from a participating business;
- information received through an integrated system; or
- another reasonable form of verification identified for the experience.
Proof of purchase must reasonably demonstrate that the qualifying transaction occurred and satisfied the applicable requirements.
Proof may be reviewed automatically, electronically, manually, or through a combination of methods.
Proof of purchase may be rejected if it reasonably appears to be:
- altered, falsified, or fabricated;
- duplicated;
- previously submitted for the same qualifying benefit;
- incomplete or illegible;
- associated with an ineligible transaction;
- outside the applicable date or time period;
- associated with an ineligible location, product, service, or participant;
- inconsistent with other available transaction information; or
- otherwise inconsistent with the applicable rules.
Scanpaigns may request additional information or verification where reasonably necessary to determine whether a transaction qualifies.
Information submitted for purchase verification is handled as described in the Scanpaigns Privacy Policy.
8. Points
Points may be awarded for qualifying activities as identified by the applicable experience.
Point values may vary based on:
- the activity performed;
- the participating location;
- the applicable touchpoint;
- the date or time;
- frequency of participation;
- achievement of a milestone;
- promotional or bonus opportunities;
- purchase-related activities; or
- other conditions identified by the experience.
Unless expressly stated otherwise:
- points have no cash value;
- points are not property;
- points cannot be sold, purchased, transferred, assigned, traded, or exchanged between participants;
- points earned in one experience do not necessarily apply to another experience;
- points may be subject to limits;
- points may expire or cease to be usable when an experience ends; and
- earning points does not by itself guarantee a reward or prize.
The point total displayed through the Services is subject to verification and correction in accordance with these Rules.
9. Repeat Activities and Frequency Limits
Scanpaigns experiences are designed to support repeat participation, but repeated interaction with the same activity or touchpoint does not necessarily result in repeated credit.
An activity may be configured to qualify:
- once;
- once per visit;
- once per day;
- once during a specified period;
- after a required amount of time has passed;
- a limited number of times;
- only after another qualifying activity; or
- according to another frequency established for the experience.
Attempts to repeatedly interact with a touchpoint outside its qualifying frequency may be recorded without generating additional points, progress, entries, or rewards.
The applicable experience determines when repeated participation qualifies.
10. Progression, Milestones, Badges, and Achievements
Some experiences may award progression, badges, achievements, unlockables, or other recognition for completing activities or reaching specified thresholds.
These may depend on factors such as:
- total points;
- number of participating locations visited;
- completion of specified activities;
- repeat participation;
- completion of a sequence;
- qualifying purchases;
- referrals;
- time-based participation; or
- other criteria established for the experience.
Progression and achievements may be adjusted if an underlying qualifying activity is later determined to be invalid.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, badges, achievements, milestones, and other virtual recognition have no cash value.
11. Challenges, Scavenger Hunts, and Multi-Location Activities
Certain experiences may require participants to complete activities across multiple locations, touchpoints, events, participating businesses, or other components of an experience.
Unless otherwise stated, each required activity must independently satisfy its applicable qualifying requirements.
An experience may require:
- completion of a specified number of locations or activities;
- completion of particular required locations;
- completion in a specified order;
- completion during an eligible period;
- unique interactions with different touchpoints; or
- satisfaction of another identified challenge requirement.
A participant does not necessarily need to complete every available activity unless the applicable experience specifically requires it.
12. Streaks and Time-Based Participation
Some experiences may reward participation over consecutive or recurring periods.
The applicable experience will determine what activity maintains a streak and the applicable time period.
Unless otherwise stated, failure to complete the required activity within the applicable period may end or reset a streak.
Technical or administrative errors may be reviewed and corrected where Scanpaigns reasonably determines that a qualifying activity occurred.
13. Referrals
Certain experiences may allow participants to receive points, progress, entries, rewards, or other benefits for qualifying referrals.
A referral qualifies only when the requirements identified by the applicable experience are satisfied.
Unless otherwise stated, self-referrals, duplicate referrals, fabricated referrals, automated referrals, or referrals involving accounts or identities created primarily to generate benefits do not qualify.
Scanpaigns may limit, reject, or reverse referral credit where activity reasonably appears artificial, abusive, fraudulent, or inconsistent with the applicable experience.
14. Leaderboards and Rankings
Some experiences may display participant rankings or leaderboards.
Rankings may be based on points, completed activities, qualifying interactions, time, achievements, or other criteria identified by the experience.
Leaderboard positions are provisional and may change as:
- additional activity occurs;
- pending activities are verified;
- invalid activity is removed;
- point totals are corrected; or
- applicable tie-breaking procedures are applied.
Appearing in a particular position on a leaderboard does not by itself establish final winner status or entitlement to a prize.
Final standings may be subject to verification.
15. Rewards
Certain qualifying activities or milestones may unlock rewards, offers, discounts, content, experiences, or other benefits.
Rewards may be subject to:
- eligibility requirements;
- availability;
- quantity limits;
- expiration dates;
- redemption periods;
- participating locations;
- redemption instructions;
- one-per-person or other limits; and
- additional terms established by the reward provider or applicable experience.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, rewards are not transferable, redeemable for cash, or exchangeable for another reward.
A third-party business, sponsor, organizer, or other provider may be responsible for fulfilling a reward it provides.
16. Prize Entries, Contests, Sweepstakes, and Drawings
Some Scanpaigns experiences may provide opportunities to earn entries or participate in contests, sweepstakes, drawings, or other prize promotions.
Where applicable, those promotions may be governed by separate Official Rules.
The Official Rules may establish:
- eligibility;
- promotion dates;
- methods of entry;
- no-purchase methods of entry where required or provided;
- entry limits;
- prize descriptions and values;
- odds of winning;
- winner-selection procedures;
- judging criteria;
- tie-breaking procedures;
- winner notification;
- verification requirements;
- tax obligations; and
- other legally required terms.
Where separate Official Rules apply, those Official Rules control the applicable prize promotion.
Points, progress, achievements, leaderboard position, or participation do not automatically constitute an entry into a prize promotion unless the applicable rules expressly state that they do.
Likewise, earning the highest point total or reaching a particular ranking does not automatically make a participant a prize winner unless the applicable rules expressly provide for winner determination in that manner.
17. No Purchase Requirement and Purchase Activities
Scanpaigns experiences may include optional Purchase Touchpoints designed to recognize or reward qualifying purchases.
The availability of a Purchase Touchpoint does not, by itself, mean that a purchase is required to participate in the overall experience or that making a purchase guarantees or improves a participant’s chance of winning a regulated prize promotion.
Where a contest, sweepstakes, drawing, or other regulated prize promotion is offered, the applicable Official Rules will specify the available methods of entry and any no-purchase method of entry required or provided.
Purchase-based activities may still provide points, progression, rewards, achievements, content, or other benefits that are separate from a regulated prize opportunity, subject to the applicable Experience Rules and law.
18. Participant Responsibility
You are responsible for:
- following the instructions presented for an activity;
- using your own eligible account, profile, device, or participation identifier where required;
- providing accurate information;
- maintaining access to your account or device where necessary;
- completing activities within applicable dates and times;
- retaining proof of qualifying activity when verification may be required; and
- reviewing applicable Experience Rules and Official Rules.
Scanpaigns is not responsible for a participant’s failure to complete a requirement before an applicable deadline.
19. Fair Play and Prohibited Conduct
Participation must be genuine and consistent with the intended activity.
You may not attempt to obtain points, progress, achievements, entries, rankings, rewards, prizes, or other benefits through fraudulent, deceptive, automated, manipulated, or unauthorized means.
Prohibited conduct includes, without limitation:
- scanning or interacting on behalf of another person to circumvent applicable limits;
- sharing, copying, photographing, reproducing, relocating, or distributing a touchpoint for the purpose of generating unauthorized qualifying interactions;
- scanning a copied or reproduced touchpoint from somewhere other than its intended location when physical presence is required;
- falsifying, manipulating, spoofing, or simulating location;
- using GPS-spoofing tools or similar technologies;
- using bots, scripts, macros, emulators, automation, or other artificial interaction methods;
- manipulating device, browser, network, time, account, or technical information;
- creating multiple accounts, profiles, identities, or devices to circumvent limits;
- submitting false, altered, duplicated, recycled, fabricated, or unauthorized proof of purchase;
- submitting the same qualifying transaction multiple times where only one credit is permitted;
- exploiting bugs, technical errors, unintended functionality, or system vulnerabilities;
- coordinating with others to artificially generate qualifying activity; or
- assisting another person in violating these Rules.
20. Verification and Review
Scanpaigns and, where applicable, the organizer of an experience may review activity to determine whether participation satisfies applicable requirements.
Verification may consider information such as:
- touchpoint interaction history;
- timestamps;
- location information;
- device or technical information;
- account activity;
- participation patterns;
- proof-of-purchase information;
- transaction information;
- referral activity; and
- other relevant information available through the Services.
An activity may remain pending until required verification is completed.
Scanpaigns may request reasonable additional information where necessary to resolve a question concerning eligibility or qualifying activity.
21. Corrections, Invalid Activity, and Disqualification
If Scanpaigns or the applicable organizer reasonably determines that an activity was recorded incorrectly, does not qualify, resulted from a technical error, or violates applicable rules, appropriate corrections may be made.
This may include:
- adding or restoring valid credit;
- removing or adjusting points;
- reversing progression;
- invalidating an interaction;
- invalidating an entry;
- removing or correcting an achievement;
- adjusting leaderboard position;
- denying or revoking a reward;
- disqualifying a participant from an activity or experience; or
- taking other reasonable action necessary to preserve the integrity of the experience.
Where appropriate, Scanpaigns may correct an error rather than disqualify a participant.
Repeated, intentional, material, or fraudulent violations may result in suspension or termination of participation or access to the Services.
22. Technical Problems
Participation may depend on devices, browsers, internet or cellular connectivity, location services, cameras, QR codes, NFC functionality, third-party systems, and other technologies.
Scanpaigns does not guarantee that every attempted interaction will be successfully recorded.
If you believe a qualifying activity was not recorded correctly, you may contact Scanpaigns or the applicable organizer as directed for that experience.
Where sufficient information is available, Scanpaigns may review the activity and make a reasonable correction.
A screenshot or other user-created record does not necessarily establish that an activity qualified, but it may be considered as part of a review.
23. Changes, Suspensions, and Unavailable Activities
Participating locations, touchpoints, activities, rewards, and other elements of an experience may occasionally become unavailable or require modification.
Scanpaigns or the applicable organizer may make reasonable changes when necessary because of:
- technical problems;
- participating-business changes;
- unavailable rewards;
- safety concerns;
- fraud or abuse;
- incorrect configuration;
- legal requirements;
- circumstances outside reasonable control; or
- other legitimate operational reasons.
Where reasonably practical, Scanpaigns or the organizer may substitute, correct, extend, suspend, or otherwise modify the affected activity.
Changes to regulated prize promotions remain subject to applicable law and any applicable Official Rules.
24. Ending an Experience
A Scanpaigns experience may operate for a specified period or until otherwise identified as complete.
When an experience ends:
- additional qualifying activity may cease;
- points or progression associated with that experience may cease to be usable;
- unredeemed rewards may expire according to their applicable terms;
- leaderboard standings may be finalized;
- pending activities may be reviewed; and
- prize opportunities may proceed according to applicable Official Rules.
Participation in a completed experience does not guarantee that the same activities, points, rewards, or progress will carry forward into another experience.
25. Interpretation and Administration
Scanpaigns and, where applicable, the organizer of an experience are responsible for administering these Rules and the applicable Experience Rules.
Reasonable determinations may be made concerning:
- whether an activity qualifies;
- whether verification is sufficient;
- whether activity violates applicable rules;
- correction of technical or administrative errors; and
- administration of points, progress, achievements, and rewards.
For regulated contests, sweepstakes, drawings, or other prize promotions, any separate Official Rules and applicable law will govern winner determination and other matters addressed by those Official Rules.
Nothing in these Rules permits Scanpaigns or an organizer to disregard rights or requirements imposed by applicable law.
26. Privacy
Information collected or processed in connection with participation, including touchpoint interactions, location information, gamification activity, device information, referrals, and proof-of-purchase information, is handled as described in the Scanpaigns Privacy Policy.
27. Terms of Service
These Rules supplement and form part of the Scanpaigns Terms of Service.
The Terms of Service govern matters including acceptable use, user accounts, intellectual property, third-party organizations, disclaimers, limitation of liability, suspension and termination, governing law, and dispute resolution.
28. Questions or Participation Issues
Questions concerning a particular activity, point award, reward, verification decision, or other participation issue should be submitted through the support or contact method identified for the applicable Scanpaigns experience or through:
