Travel sweepstakes
There are scores of companies that are willing to give away something fairly valuable in exchange for giving them your email address and touch of demographic information. I’m not really a gambling mad, but I’m willing to hand out my email address (my spam address of course) in exchange for a slight chance to win a trip. If you’re of the same mindset and have an hour to burn, you might want to enter all of these:
- Cafe Direct to Peru
- Outside Magazine climb Mt. Rainier
- J.Crew shopping spree in New York City
- Honey Bunched of Oats escape to the Caribbean
- Travel Channel to Charlton, SC (really Travel Channel? That’s the best you’ve got? REALLY?)
- Viv Magazine to Fiji
- Johnson’s Body Care to U.S. Virgin Islands
- Ultimate Thailand Explorers competition (like the Taiwan explorers contest)
- Marriott tweet and facebook your way to Hawaii
- Hell’s Kitchen to Whistler, Canada
- Schick make your own adventure
- Grand Marnier to Las Vegas
- Islands magazine has 7 contests at the moment, none of which are to Bouvet Island
- Starwood hotels sweepstakes for enough hotel points to stay anywhere and a rental car to get there
- Good Hair (the movie) for a cruise
- Virginia tourism commission to Virginia
- Couples Retreat (another movie) to Tahiti
- PADI honeymoon diving trip to Roatan
- Rainy Day Records to the Grammy Awards
- National Geographic to see the Tarra Cotta Warriors in China
I’m sure there are other travel sweepstakes out there, so if you know of any, please post them in the comments. And less cross our fingers that someone in the Questing for Adventure communty scores one of these trips!
