This is old but their explanation at least currently kinda seems like BS:

Upper Deck also watches how fans engage with each other on the company’s e-Pack platform, especially on the message boards. Great advocates on e-Pack who are very engaged and help others have a good shot at finding a surprise mail day coming their way from Upper Deck.
There is one rule with #UDRAK packages: YOU CANNOT ASK FOR THEM FOR YOURSELF. Upper Deck works to identify deserving fans and surprises them from there, but you cannot ask for these special mail days. Look for more to come in the future as we work to remain the collector’s choice.
Also I swore I remembered another UD RAK thread and wanted to see what people got not knowing it was also started by OP:

Just wondering if you changed course on no longer buying on E-Pack? Not a shot circumstances change good if you still can and enjoy ripping e-pack products I only ask because it would go completely against what I said earlier that if you stop buying products they aren't gonna send one the following year. If you received one without spending on E-Pack for over a year it makes even less sense the process since others have spent thousands this past year as mentioned.
