What is free and what is a chance to win?
A free loyalty benefit differs from a no-purchase-necessary sweepstakes entry. A free benefit is added after you join and complete registration, while a sweepstakes entry only gives a chance in a drawing. For Toledo readers, that difference decides what to expect.
Birthday points or treats follow account steps, while sweepstakes results depend on the drawing.
