In order to simplify the entry of additional prize codes, a user account can also be created, which is protected by username and password.

The winner of a MINI One convertible or a Samsung Galaxy Tab will be automatically and immediately notified directly in the redemption process and by an email to the provided email address. In addition, the winner will be informed of winning the prize by telephone and/or in writing by the cooperation partner, friends direct. The winner will then be asked to send in the original prize code, in other words the original insert, and the winner will be sent a prize declaration that must be signed and returned. No costs will arise for the winner in accepting the prize.

If the winner cannot be reached by telephone, email or post for reasons for which the participant is responsible and he therefore cannot accept his prize, the prize claim expires upon the end of the NR.1-DEAL campaign on 31 December 2012.
