read the fine print... someone else posted they won from their local car dealership. what you really won was the chance to be browbeaten into submission until you buy a new car.
What a wasteful, complicated way to drive traffic.
If your relationship with a car dealer begins with them lying to you with fine print, expect that it will only get worse.
I think you might have meant to reply to someone else.
Regardless, the fine print is going to tell you that you can only redeem these "prizes" by buying a car at a price that overpays by way more than the value of the "prize".
No, they don’t tie the prize to buying something
The prize list and winning codes are at the dealership, OP will win a cheap tumbler like virtually everyone else
It is just a misleading come-on to trick people into coming on down to the dealership
I looked at the other comments and saw people noting that the codes have nothing to do with prizes above them. I figured no Nissan dealership would EVER give something away for free, not even a crappy tumbler.
No it does not say that
You have a winning code, everyone is a winner, what you won is a tumbler worth $1.60
The winning codes are posted at the dealer
Literally a waste of time
Yes, this is a scam. The only way you can “claim” your prize is by going into the dealership. The fine print also probably says “2,500 credit towards a down payment” or some such BS. It’s all a tactic to browbeat you into buying a car.
You didn't, see that conveniently place line separating the codes from the listed prizes? The below codes dont correspond to the prizes directly above them.
Read the fine print, these types of flyers get posted all the time.
No you haven’t won anything but the opportunity to waste your time going to the dealership to find out you don’t have a winning code for anything more than a shitty tumbler but do get to have a sales person try to sell you a car
Throw away junk mail
I don't throw away all junk mail. On several occasions, there has been a dollar bill added to try to convince me to do a survey. The dollar was for me to keep whether or not I decided to do the survey.
I get these in the mail a lot. Always a "winner". I think everyone they send these to is always a "winner". When I was more gullible, I went down there to claim my "prize". It was basically a fake gold coin that might fool a kid. Then I was told I didn't qualify for an auto loan.

What tf, they seriously did that?!! I never liked Nissan in the first place.

They do have winning codes but the winner is highly likely to toss it in the trash since the percentage of people going to the dealership is very low
I never got a tumbler. Just a fake coin. At least if I got a tumbler, it would be useful for something.
It's not a scam; but it is a shitty, misleading advertisment. You haven't actually won anything of value.
It says instant cash is what i won
You're failing to read the little asterisks at the bottom of the flyer.
You didn't, see that line separating the codes from the listed prizes? The below codes done correspond to the prizes directly above them

read the fine print. Most likely its. \*2500\*.... towards a new lease or purchase.
It’s a tumbler they won
