How to get a BONUS entry to Top Off Your Tank

But wait. There's more! In addition to the above simple entry, listeners are invited to download the Q97.9 app for their chance to submit a bonus entry into the contest.

Beginning November 25 and continuing each weekday through December 15th, be on the lookout for the “secret word” of the day. Secret words will be released, via an app alert on the Contest Alerts channel, each weekday between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m.

Make sure you turn on Contest Alerts in Settings in your Q97.9 app.

Once the secret word has been revealed via the Q97.9 app, tune into the Q on your radio and listen for your radio host to say the “secret word” of that day. Once the secret code is revealed on-air, call 207-775-7979 and be the first caller to identify, on-air, the secret word of the day. The first caller to correctly identify the secret word for the day will receive a bonus entry into the contest.

Limit one bonus entry per person during the contest.

Make sure you fill out the form today and get ready to crank that thermostat to a cozy 70! (mine is currently at 62).
