Only one request per person, email or household address is allowed. The promotion ends at 11:59 p.m. next Sunday or “while funds remain available.” The company capped the total payout to $50,000 (so 500 moms). Be sure to read the terms and conditions for instructions on what type of receipts or invoices are needed, and allow six to eight weeks for the payment to arrive.

If that's the case, upload an image with this info, according to their terms and conditions: “I, [your full name] confirm that I engaged in hiring babysitting services for use on May 12, 2019, not to exceed $100 in total cost, for Mother’s Day on May 12 2019.” Kraft also asks that you include "a brief description of why you need some time away during Mother’s Day in your own words in the online entry form."
