The company's own promotions page names DGCustomerFirst.com and says the survey earns special discounts. It publishes no prize, no winner count and no entry dates. Every third-party guide promises a $100 gift card instead. On 19 August 2026 the domain Dollar General names served a general-interest blog, carrying articles about poetry, engagement rings and disposable vapes, and no survey form appeared anywhere on it.
What you need
12 itemsHow to take the survey
Read what Dollar General actually promises
Its promotions page says to visit DGCustomerFirst.com, enter the time and invitation code from the receipt, take a short survey and receive special discounts. That is the whole first-party statement. No gift card, no draw, no deadline, no odds.
Type the address and see what loads
Checked on 19 August 2026, dgcustomerfirst.com returned a blog headed "Dollar General Survey News" carrying articles on engagement rings, disposable vapes and poetry, plus a newsletter box. The bare domain, the www version and the old entry link all showed the same thing.
Treat the $100 figure as historical, not current
The last entry period anyone documents ran from 25 March 2024 to 2 February 2025: 450 winners at 10 per weekly draw, about $45,000 in prizes, drawn on 9 February 2025. It is listed as expired, with no successor published.
Ignore the digit count until your receipt confirms it
Guides describe a 15-digit survey code plus a store number entered with its leading zeros. Dollar General mentions only the time and the invitation code. Count what is printed rather than what you were told to expect.
Use the store or corporate route for anything that matters
A complaint about a specific visit reaches a manager faster than a survey does, and does not depend on a sweepstakes running. Nothing is paid for it — the same as the survey once the draw has lapsed.
If something goes wrong
The survey site shows a blog instead of a form
- Cause
- dgcustomerfirst.com served general articles when checked
- Fix
- Not a browser fault. Three entry paths to the same domain returned the same blog on 19 August 2026.
I cannot find the $100 gift card entry
- Cause
- The last documented sweepstakes closed on 2 February 2025
- Fix
- No current official rules were found. Guides quoting weekly $100 draws describe a period that has ended.
My code is not 15 digits
- Cause
- That figure comes from guides, not from Dollar General
- Fix
- The company mentions only the time and the invitation code. Enter what is printed on the receipt.
The store number is rejected
- Cause
- Leading zeros are usually required and easy to drop
- Fix
- Guides say to include them. Dollar General does not mention a store number at all, so treat the field as whatever the form asks.
My receipt has no invitation
- Cause
- Invitations are printed selectively
- Fix
- There is no way in without one, and no reward attaches to any other feedback route.
I want to enter by post instead
- Cause
- A mail-in address circulates in guides
- Fix
- PO Box 970, Macedon, New York is quoted for the expired period. Without current official rules, nothing confirms it is still monitored.
What’s fixed, and what actually varies
Dollar General publishes two sentences about this survey. Everything else in circulation comes from sites reconstructing rules that expired in early 2025.
Fixed
- Dollar General names DGCustomerFirst.com on its own promotions page
- It says to enter the time and invitation code from the receipt
- It describes the reward as special discounts, not a prize
- It publishes no window, no odds and no winner count
- dgcustomerfirst.com served a blog rather than a survey on 19 August 2026
- The last documented entry period closed on 2 February 2025
Varies
- The prize. Guides say a $100 gift card; Dollar General says special discounts
- What you enter — a 15-digit code and store number per guides, time and invitation code per the company
- The window, given as 7 days by guides and left unstated by the company
- Whether any sweepstakes is running at all in 2026
- Whether the mail-in route at Macedon, New York is still monitored
- Whether your receipt prints an invitation in the first place
Open the domain before you plan around it, then read the two sentences Dollar General publishes. Where a page states official rules, a prize and a weekly draw with no entry period attached, it is quoting a promotion that ended.
How Dollar General compares
Two of these three publish a reward you can hold the company to. Dollar General publishes a phrase.
| Chain | What you enter | Window | Typical reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dollar General | Time and invitation code, per the company | None published | Special discounts; guides claim a $100 draw |
| Kroger | Entry ID — reported at 15, 18 and 26 digits | 7 days | Fuel points or a sweepstakes entry |
| Burger King | Survey code from the receipt | 48 hours on the receipt | Whopper or chicken sandwich |
Sweepstakes come and go. A receipt and a current ruleset override this table.
Kroger's Entry ID is disputed but the survey answers when you type the address. Dollar General's position is stranger: the wording is clear, brief and first-party, and the site it points at has been repurposed into a content farm.
Two sentences from the company, and a domain that changed hands
Something is published about this survey, which puts Dollar General ahead of several brands here. Its promotions page tells customers to visit DGCustomerFirst.com, enter the time and invitation code from the receipt, take a short survey and receive special discounts. That is the entire first-party statement: no prize, no odds, no deadline, no winner count.
Every guide fills those gaps the same way: a $100 gift card, ten winners a week, a 15-digit survey code, a store number with leading zeros, a 7-day window. None of it comes from Dollar General. It comes from a ruleset with an entry period of 25 March 2024 to 2 February 2025 — 450 winners at 10 per weekly period, roughly $45,000 in prizes, drawn on 9 February 2025 — listed as expired, with no published successor.
The stranger finding is the address. Checked on 19 August 2026, dgcustomerfirst.com did not serve a survey. It served a general-interest blog titled "Dgcustomerfirst com – Dollar General Survey News", with articles on engagement rings, disposable vapes, poetry and critical thinking in education, plus a newsletter box offering creative news about art, design and business. The bare domain, the www subdomain and the old query-string entry link all returned it.
That matters because Dollar General's own page still sends people there. A shopper following the company's instruction lands on a content farm with no way to tell the failure is not theirs.
Trading since 1939, the chain is headquartered in Goodlettsville, Tennessee. The honest summary: the survey it advertises could not be completed at the address it advertises on the day this page was checked, and no current official rules could be found to say what completing it would have been worth.
Questions people ask
Does the DGCustomerFirst survey still work?
Checked on 19 August 2026, dgcustomerfirst.com served a general-interest blog with no survey form. Three separate entry paths to the domain returned the same page.
Do I get a $100 gift card for completing it?
Special discounts is all the company promises. The $100 figure comes from a sweepstakes whose last documented entry period closed on 2 February 2025.
What does Dollar General say you enter?
The time and the invitation code from the receipt. It does not mention a store number or a digit count, both of which guides supply.
How long do I have to take it?
No window is published. Guides say 7 days from the visit, which is a reasonable habit but not a company figure.
How many winners were there?
In the last documented period, 450 in total at 10 per weekly draw, worth roughly $45,000 altogether. That period ended in February 2025.
Is there a no-purchase mail-in entry?
Third-party pages quote PO Box 970, Macedon, New York. With no current official rules published, there is nothing confirming the address is still in use.
Where should I send feedback instead?
A store manager or the corporate contact route handles a specific complaint. Neither pays a reward, which is also true of the survey now.
