The Aldi survey mail in entry is genuine, documented and shut. Its rules describe a real free route: hand print your details on a 3 x 5 inch card, add the three-letter Participating Division code, and post it, one entry per envelope. The period that route served ran through December 2025 and closed on 31 December, with 26 prizes drawn on or about 10 January 2026. No address is printed here for that reason.
What you need
10 itemsHow to take the survey
Understand what a free lane is for
American sweepstakes law will not allow a purchase to be the only way into a prize draw. A promotion running off till receipts must open a route that costs nothing, which is why these addresses exist.
Check the date on any ruleset before the address
This is the step that saves the stamp. A postal entry to a promotion already drawn arrives nowhere useful, however accurate the address turns out to be.
Read what the documented card actually required
Hand printed name, complete address, city, state, zip code, daytime phone number and birth date on a 3 x 5 inch card. One mail-in entry per envelope, with no photocopies.
Notice the field that catches everybody
The address line carried a three-letter Participating Division code, taken from the list in the rules. A card sent without it named no division, and each division held exactly one prize.
Treat any address you find elsewhere as undated
Pages quoting a box for this survey rarely quote the period beside it. An address with no dates attached tells you nothing about whether anything is open to receive post.
Watch the entry screen for a fresh document
A live promotion states its own period and links its own official rules, with a current address inside them. Until one appears at tellaldi.com or survey.aldi.us, there is nothing to post to.
If something goes wrong
I found an Aldi mail-in address and want to use it
- Cause
- The only ruleset that can be read covers a period that has been drawn
- Fix
- Check the dates that address was published with. Without a current entry period beside it, a stamp buys nothing.
Several pages give me the same box, so it must be current
- Cause
- Repetition between guides is copying rather than confirmation
- Fix
- Ask which period each of them dates the address to. Agreement about an address says nothing about whether a promotion is open.
I want to enter without buying anything
- Cause
- The published route needs no purchase and no receipt
- Fix
- That part is real, and the rules open by saying so. It needs a live entry period to enter, and none could be established.
My card was sent back or ignored
- Cause
- The address line required a three-letter Participating Division code
- Fix
- A card without one names no division, and prizes were awarded one to each division rather than from a single pool.
I posted several entries in one envelope
- Cause
- The rules count one mail-in entry per envelope
- Fix
- Only one would have counted. Separate envelopes were required, each carrying its own hand printed card.
Somebody says I have won and wants a fee
- Cause
- No published clause permits a charge to release a prize
- Fix
- Close it. Under the published rules a gift card was posted within four weeks of the drawing, and no money travelled the other way.
What’s fixed, and what actually varies
Almost everything about this route is settled, because the sponsor wrote it down. What is unsettled is whether any of it still applies.
Fixed
- The rules open NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN
- A 3 x 5 inch hand printed card was the alternate method of entry
- A three-letter Participating Division code formed part of the address line
- One mail-in entry per envelope
- 26 grand prizes, one per division, each a $100.00 gift card, $2,600.00 in total
- That entry period opened on 1 December 2025 and closed on 31 December 2025
- InMoment, Inc. is the named survey administrator
Varies
- Whether a later period exists, since the rules reach a reader only from inside the survey
- Whether a future ruleset keeps the same box, card size and division list
- Which of the three survey addresses will be serving on the day you try
Start the survey and follow its own rules link. A current document names its entry period in the opening paragraph and carries the address for that period. Anything reached any other way is undated by definition.
How Aldi compares
Three retailers with a documented free lane, and only one of them has nothing open.
| Chain | Postal route published | What the card must carry | Status of the period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aldi | Yes, in the sponsor's own rules | Details plus a division code | Closed on 31 December |
| Walmart | Yes, on a public page | Name, address, phone, date of birth | Open, closing 30 October |
| Lowe's | Yes, in a program-year document | Eight details on a 4 x 5 card | Open, one card a month |
Addresses and card requirements are reissued per promotion period. A dated ruleset beats this table.
The difference is not thoroughness. Aldi's paperwork is as complete as either of the others, and files itself behind the survey rather than on a page a shopper can reach, so nobody outside can tell you when the next window opens.
A complete free lane, attached to a month that has already been drawn
This is the unusual case where the paperwork is excellent and the answer is still no.
A postal entry route is a legal requirement rather than a courtesy. American sweepstakes law prevents a purchase from being the only way into a prize draw, so a promotion built on receipts must open a lane that costs nothing. Read on 25 August 2026, the ALDI Satisfaction Survey Sweepstakes rules carry one in full. Hand print your name, complete address, city, state, zip code, daytime phone number and birth date on a 3 x 5 inch card, and mail it with a three-letter Participating Division code forming part of the address line. One mail-in entry per envelope. Entries had to be postmarked by the entry period end date and received by a date given in the document's own chart.
The division code is the detail worth keeping. Prizes were not drawn from one national pool: 26 grand prizes were awarded, one to each of 26 divisions, every one a $100.00 gift card, $2,600.00 in total. Which division you named decided which draw you were in.
And then the date. That entry period ran from 1 December 2025 to 31 December 2025, drawn on or about 10 January 2026, with gift cards posted by ALDI Inc. of Batavia, Illinois through US Sweepstakes & Fulfillment Company of Rochester, New York.
No address appears on this page, deliberately. Printing a box for a promotion that has closed invites somebody to spend a stamp on a draw that finished before they heard of it. A current ruleset would carry a current address, and the place it appears is inside the survey.
Questions people ask
Is there a mail-in entry for the Aldi survey?
The published rules carry a full postal route, and the entry period it belonged to closed on 31 December 2025. Nothing readable has replaced it.
Why does this page not give the address?
Because the promotion that address served has been drawn. A box printed without a live entry period beside it costs somebody a stamp for nothing.
What did the card have to look like?
Three inches by five, hand printed with your name, complete address, city, state, zip code, daytime phone number and birth date, one entry per envelope.
What was the three-letter code for?
It named your Participating Division on the address line. Prizes were awarded one per division rather than from a single national pool.
Did entering by post cost anything?
A stamp. The rules open with NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN, which is why the lane existed at all.
What could I have won?
A $100.00 gift card, one of 26 awarded for the period, with a stated total value of $2,600.00.
How will I know when a new period opens?
The entry screen will state its own dates and link its own rules, and a current address will be inside them. That is the only place it appears.
Should I post something anyway, just in case?
There is nothing established as open to receive it. A card sent to a closed promotion reaches an administrator with no draw left to add it to.
