Basically as the title says. A local gas station chain has released a new app. They give you a one time $10 off your purchase of any purchase over $10 promo coupon.
The only unique identifiers for your account are an email and your number from a different loyalty points service. I noticed they don’t verify the loyalty points number so you can put any random number in as long as it’s the right length.
The $10 off only requires a $10 purchase. So if I spun up 3 accounts and went to 3 of their gas stations, pumping $11 worth of gas I would get $33 worth of gas for $3. Furthermore, it looks like this promotion works for anything in store, groceries or even gift cards. The only restrictions printed on the promo itself are tobacco, alcohol and lottery.
Their terms of service doesn’t specially state anything about having multiple accounts.
Is there anything actually illegal here or is this a loophole they didn’t consider?
Edit
After comparing two coupons back to back I just realized it’s the same barcode each time. I don’t even need to generate new ones.

And the people who designed this promotion are also not as smart as they think they are.
If all they need is an email, there is nothing illegal about using multiple email addresses.
Now, the OP could have missed something in the T&Cs but based on what they have said, they are not doing anything illegal.
The purpose of judges is to account for lawyers who aren’t very smart.
