We went to an NHL game the other night. Everyone in our section got a voucher that states present this voucher for 1,000.00 off a new BMW. Everyone in the section gave me the vouchers. I noticed that there is no limit on them and no expiry date. The game itself was on TV, radio, etc. If we have 103 vouchers for
1,000 off the price of a new car and there is nothing stipulating a limit on the number of vouchers, do they have to honor all of them? Can I buy 103,000.00 worth of vehicles and use these as payment? Do they have to honor them?

Courts interpret contracts, coupons, vouchers, etc. reasonably. When vouchers for $1,000 were given to 103 people, the reasonable interpretation is it's one voucher per person, and that is almost certainly how a court would interpret and enforce the vouchers. It is extremenly unlikely that a court would force the dealer to give a single person $103k in value, when the vouchers were given out to 103 people.
