Question @AARPTeri —

Can one make multiple entries/guesses?

Does this Free Gift Card count against any monthly card allowances?

What $10 Gift Card? Or do we pick one?

Thanks!

@SereneSeagull Great questions! There is one entry per person. If you pick the right team and receive the giveaway, it does not count against your free card allowances for the month. It will be one of our AARP Rewards gift cards, TBD. You will not get to choose a card.

Michigan vs. Florida would definitely make for an exciting championship match-up. Michigan taking it all is a great pick this year!

As the tournament gets underway, feel free to come back and share what games or teams are surprising you along the way.

Good luck with your picks, and thanks for being part of the Bracket-Free Showdown conversation!
