We’re celebrating our 100th anniversary year by giving away monthly prizes throughout 2012, including a $1 million grand prize to one lucky L.L.Bean Visa Cardmember.

L.L.Bean Visa Cardmembers have the chance to win one of 25 L.L.Bean prizes each month, and the best part is you don’t have to do anything special to enter. To participate, simply use your L.L.Bean Visa anywhere you shop. You’re automatically entered with each swipe.

Every month we’re giving away L.L.Bean gift cards, camping gear, kayaks, L.L.Bean Boots, fly-fishing gear and more – over $9,500 in giveaways each month!

Our sweepstakes is easy to enter. It’s as simple as swiping your L.L.Bean Visa card at your local store – as Aaron W. of New Sweden, Maine, winner of a $99 L.L.Bean gift card, recently did.

“I use my L.L.Bean Visa for everything,” said Aaron W. “My wife and I always enjoy visiting the L.L.Bean store in Freeport and can’t wait to use our gift card. Thanks, L.L.Bean.”

Aaron W. is a recent winner in the L.L.Bean Visa Centennial Sweepstakes.

As we said, it doesn’t matter where you use the card, and we’ll contact you, as we did with Aaron, if you are selected as a monthly winner.

Congratulations to our recent winners:
