Online Contest Prizes – Money, Trips and Gifts

If you are looking for free stuff online, you will not be disappointed. Free online contest entry is available for nearly every conceivable type of prize.

A German airline offers an online sweepstakes to win free travel. You can enter a contest to win a free Blackberry, a free Arizona vacation at a resort with a red rock view. You can enter an online contest and win merchandise, a trip to Hawaii or cash prize up to $30,000. You can win games, CDs, and electronic equipment just for entering an online sweepstakes for those who drink a particular kind of soda.   

Many internet sites compile online contests and offer lists of online sweepstakes and other contest opportunities so you can easily find and enter online contests without spending hours searching online.  

When you review the online contest you want to enter, notice if you have to sign up for information, subscriptions to magazines or other clubs or organizations that may require you to buy something in order to be entered in the contest. Some of these online contests give you the option to refuse the subscription and only enter the contest. If you’d like to try the product or magazine, be sure you understand your obligation and the cost associated with the subscription or trial period.

You can win a trip to a resort or an amusement park attraction and a chance to win $100,000 in an online contest. Keep in mind that in these kinds of contests you have no option to choose the prize. To take advantage of the online contest win you may have to pay your own airfare and you may not have a choice of dates for your travel.  

Many of the online contests will award you a trip to a time share or other resort type destination in hopes of selling you a portion of the time share or a future trip. While you will get a free trip you might not want to spend your time listening to a sales pitch. To avoid disappointment, you should always do your homework. Carefully research what you get if you win the online contest and what your obligation or tradeoff might be, if any. Then, if you win, you will be prepared to enjoy your online contest prize without any surprises.
