How the Mystery Card play works
A visitor can receive a physical promotional card or obtain a digital version through MOA Insiders, then scan or follow the on-screen instructions at a redemption kiosk inside the mall.
People who do not want to enrol in MOA Insiders can use the alternate no-purchase option at the kiosk. Either way, the limit is one play per person per day.
Instant prizes vary widely
The official rules describe prizes between $5 and $1,499. Examples include retailer and attraction gift cards, Apple Watches, Coach or Kate Spade handbags, Meta smart glasses and a $500 Circle K award.
Available inventory changes as prizes are claimed. The odds depend on the number and timing of eligible plays and the prizes still assigned.
Some wins issue a claim ticket
Digital prizes may arrive through the app or email, while selected higher-value items can generate a claim ticket that must be presented at the designated location. Keep the confirmation screen and follow its collection instructions.
Any claim ticket not redeemed by 9:00 p.m. Central Time on August 31 can be forfeited and may move into the second-chance process.
Eligibility excludes several states
The promotion is open to eligible U.S. and D.C. residents age 18 or older, except residents of Florida, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island and Virginia. A participant also needs to be physically present at the mall to use a kiosk.
Bring identification if a prize requires age, residence or identity verification.
Second-chance drawing and expiry dates
Unawarded eligible gift-card prizes may be included in a second-chance drawing scheduled for September 25, 2026. This does not require a separate paid entry.
Most prizes must be redeemed by September 7 unless the individual award specifies another deadline. Read the confirmation immediately rather than assuming every prize follows the same date.
