From YPPedia

Blizzard Box Promotion

During the Blizzard Box Promotion, players will receive a "mystery box" gift with purchases of $9.99 or more made between 10:00 AM PDT December 16, 2016 and 3:00 PM PDT January 2, 2017. This promotion is open to players using whichever payment method they prefer (including credit card, Paypal, and Paymentwall, and checks and money orders). Purchases of either doubloons or subscription during the promotion period are eligible. You can be certain that your purchase qualifies if an image of a Blizzard Box shows up next to your chosen package on the subscription or doubloon billing page when you go to make your purchase.

Your mystery gift will be redeemable on any one pirate associated with your account. If you made your qualifying purchase while logged in to the game, you may need to log out and back on again for it to appear. Available mystery gift items include...

  • Dragon Familiar (white horns, ice blue body)
  • Bandana pandas
  • Yeti dolls
  • Ice Furniture

Promotion Details

  • Purchase must be made between 10:00 AM PDT December 16, 2016 and 3:00 PM PDT January 2, 2017 to be eligible.
  • Each purchase of $9.99 or greater is eligible. Smaller purchases cannot be combined to meet this limit.
  • Purchasing a doubloon package larger than $9.99 will earn you multiple mystery gifts, at the rate of 1 mystery gift for every $9.99 spent.

Subscriptions

Paypal

  • It is important to note that some Paypal payment options can take several days to clear. All purchases must clear during the promotion period for them to be eligible for mystery gifts. If the payment clears after the promotion period, you will not receive a mystery box. Bank transfers and eChecks are the most common form of "delayed" payment.

Checks & Money Orders

Checks and Money Order purchases must be issued by US banks and received before the last day of the promotion, January 2, 2017, in order to be eligible for a mystery gift.

Collecting Your Mystery Gift

Your bonus item can be collected in-game by logging in and viewing the notification in your "Ahoy" tab on the pirate with which you would like to receive the gift.

* The Ice Blue-Painted ship will be bestowed as a "sealed deed" item which can be used from your pirate's inventory to cause the prize ship's deed to appear. The prize ship will be docked at your home island. Ice Blue-Painted ships are standard ships, and thus do not have a special "Limited Edition" icon on their dock/vessel image.
