Thanksgiving is late this year.  It's the last Thursday in November, which means it is November 28th.  That also means that Black Friday and all of the deals that come with that special shopping day will also be about a week later than usual.

Last year, the Mall of America in Bloomington introduced their Mystery Cards. They are bringing them back this year, by popular demand! Of course this is incentive to come shopping in person at the mall, but it also comes with some great prizes and discounts.  Plus, if you are really early, there are some perks to being an early bird.

The Mall of America will once again be closed this Thanksgiving Day, and will reopen at 7am on Black Friday, November 29th.

The first 200 people in line at the North Entrance of the Mall on Black Friday will also receive a $25 Mall of America gift card in addition to their Mystery CardPlus, one lucky winner within the first 200 guests will be the PEPSI PRIZE winner. This winner will receive $2,500 courtesy of Pepsi.

If you are not one of the very Early Birds, you can still score some great deals!  The Mystery Cards have great deals and a chance to win some other prizes as well. There is a catch, however, you do need to enter through the North Entrance to get one of these cards.

Each Mystery Card will unveil one of three tiers of prizes – Silver, Gold, or our coveted Doorbuster prizes. They will either be directed to pick up their Silver prize at one of our retailers or they will be sent to the Gold Redemption Center. The big winners will head to our one-and-only Doorbuster Zone! 

If you are going to be at the Mall of America for Black Friday you will also have a chance to win some tickets and swag for all our Minnesota sports teams from the Power Trip Morning show, who will be broadcasting live from the mall that morning. You can also listen on our sister station, Granite City Sports.

The Mall will also feature a bunch of live entertainment, special pop up shops, and also giving shoppers more perks with their rewards program.  

Book a hotel now if you want to avoid the drive and be at the Mall of America early to take advantage of all of the perks of Black Friday at MOA.
