Circle K is back to its gift-giving ways! Rather than a game of rock/paper/scissors, you simply open their advent calendar to see if you’ve an instant prize. There are also daily draws for gift cards of varying amounts when you enter the UPC of a participating product.

What you get: Play daily until the end of December for an instant prize (stuff you find in Circle K). When you win, they will text you a link. Open the link and scan at the Circle K cashier within 3 days to claim your prize.

I just started and have already won a Kinder Surprise Egg and BOGO Froster. It’s a bit too cold out for their sugary beverage, but the kiddies loved the chocolate egg!

Get your virtual hands ready to win more prizes from Circle K because Rock Paper Prizes is back for a second round! This time, you play against NHL players. The prizes aren’t as good as before (no weekly or monthly draws), but it seems easier to win due to weak AI. It’s funny how their hands are all the same skin colour. Similarly, they tend to make the same moves.

What you get: Play games of rock-paper-scissors against virtual opponents. If you win 2 out of 3 times, you get an instant prize! You get 3 attempts daily, so don’t fret if you lose. When you win, they will text you a link. Open the link and tap the button at the Circle K cashier to claim your prize.

I’ve won about 8 times and all but one were BOGO wins. Sorry, but coupons aren’t exciting nor are they prizes in my book. The one straight-up win I had was for Circle K branded peanuts but I couldn’t even find them in store!

You know those Circle K convenience stores at Esso gas stations? They have a contest to win instant prizes in the form of snacks and drinks. There are also weekly & monthly draws for bigger prizes (such as free gas, iPads, Nintendo Switch, and $10,000!), but the best part is how easy it is to win!

I played about 7 times and won 3 prizes! Rockstar Energy Drink, Montellier water, and Dairymilk Oreo Bar chocolate. You can claim multiple prizes at once, but you must claim within 5 days of winning.
