Is survey.bellomyonline.com safe to use?

Yes. Publix uses a third-party administrator, Bellomy Research, to manage the sweepstakes independently. The redirect from Publix.com to Bellomyonline.com is the standard secure procedure.

Do I have to pay taxes on the $1,000 gift card?

Yes. The IRS requires taxes to be paid on prizes of $600 or more. Since the Publix prize is $1,000, winners will receive an IRS Form 1099 and must declare it as income.

Can my husband enter if I already entered?

Yes, but you can only win once. While multiple family members can enter, the rules state there is a limit of one (1) prize per household per year.

My receipt is 8 days old. Can I still enter?

Not online. The survey code expires exactly 7 days after the timestamp on your receipt. However, you can still enter using the Mail-In (AMOE) method.

Can I use a receipt from an Instacart order?

No. The digital receipt you receive from Instacart does not contain the necessary store number and survey code. You need a physical receipt from an in-store purchase.
