Why A is correct
Under O.C.G.A. § 33-6-4(b)(8)(C)(x), promotional prizes, goods, gift cards, tickets, or merchandise are permitted only when their value does not exceed $100 per customer in aggregate per calendar year and they are not contingent on a sale or renewal. A gift tied to closing a sale is a rebate no matter its value, so the non-contingency condition is as important as the dollar cap.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) $25 is not the Georgia figure; the statutory promotional allowance is $100 per customer in aggregate per calendar year.
- C) $500 exceeds the annual cap, and disclosure in the application is not a substitute for the non-contingency requirement.
- D) Georgia expressly permits promotional items within the $100 annual aggregate limit, so an absolute ban misstates the rule.
Memory hook
$100 a year of swag, never tied to a sale.
