A look through the list of 'Sponsor Additional Requirements' is pretty interesting.

In the past I have replaced perfectly good valve springs just to stay compliant for contingency, but at least those are a wear/maintenance item.

Proof of purchase dated within two years for a carburetor?

Must have made social media posts with a photo of the car with product decal clearly visible?

That's why I posted it.
All the companies are different.

Saw an item for me where "re-certs" don't count.

I might as well pull all the stickers off my car because unfortunately I paid the big money and bought quality products that last longer then 18 months, 2 years, 3 years and even 5 years... what slap in the face...

I've never understood why companies aren't proud to say "SO AND SO WON USING OUR PRODUCT THAT WAS 15 YEARS OLD!!!" .... instead they stop paying well before a quality product would last.

I took most of the decals off my car the other day. Maybe I’ll win something now. Fingers Cross

I never felt contingency stickers were worth the effort when I looked at the rules many, many years ago. Same complaints as those posted above. I have a huge stack of stickers in the garage from many items I've purchased over the years. I do have a bunch stuck on the inside of my trailer door, but not on the car.

I did however have a couple of local sponsor decals on my car for a few years.

Now I have no decals. I'm not advertising anyone's product or business for free.
