If a person misses a day or week of daily entries, can they go back and enter the days they missed? It would still only be a daily entry. I cannot find it in the rules every year I search. I can see by the daily reminders for each day I missed.

No, you can't go back and make up previous days. Per the website, "(limit one (1) online entry on the HGTV Website, per valid email address, per eligible person per day)." I get your point, but if you think about it, if you missed Monday & wanted to enter twice on Tuesday, that would be two entries on Tuesday, which is not permitted.

My question is this: what is a "day"? That may sound silly, but does "once per day" mean once within a 24 hour period, or once per calendar day? And if it is once per calendar day, which time zone do they use? If someone enters at 10:00 pm on the west coast on Monday, even though it's technically Tuesday in the Eastern time zone, which day does it count for?

Thank you for the answer. Last year, when I missed.. I went to each daily reminder and entered and deleted. So, no your thoughts are definitely not silly. I see daily as daily especially if attached to the dated reminder. I missed all past week with a painful flu. Brain is still not working either. Thank you again. At least, I won't be disqualified this year. Smile
