What happened: The Seattle Mariners partnered with Fred Meyer to offer fans a chance to win a $500 gift card. Entry requires reposting the team's promotional post and using Mariners Rewards on a future purchase.

Why it matters: The giveaway is a fan-engagement and sponsor-activation push rather than a competitive development. It ties retail loyalty program use directly to team-branded social promotion.

What to watch: Fans can enter by reposting the Mariners' announcement and shopping with Mariners Rewards at Fred Meyer.
