To participate in this sweepstakes, you must:
- Be a legal resident of the 48 contiguous United States and the District of Columbia
- Be of legal age of majority in your state or district of residence and at least 18 years of age as of the date of entry, as this sweepstakes is void in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, all other territories and possessions of the United States, and elsewhere as prohibited by law — and this same requirement applies to the travel companion
- Have Internet access, as it is required to enter the sweepstakes
- Complete all required fields of the entry form pursuant to the instructions provided; and submit your entry by Friday, November 4, 2016 at 11:59 in the evening Eastern Daylight Time
Once the entry form is completed and filled out in its entirety and submitted, you will automatically receive one entry into the sweepstakes.
No purchase is necessary to enter or win the sweepstakes, as a purchase or payment of any kind will not increase your chances of winning.
