Olympic Fever

Sweepstakes Title/Link - USA Vancouver Trip

Prize(s)- 4 day trip for two to Vancouver, BC, Canada and a visit to the Psych set

End Date - March 16, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/ email

Simone's Thoughts - So before we found out we were pregnant w/ our now 18 month old son, my husband and I had booked a trip to Vancouver to see the Celebration of Lights. Unfortunately, it would have been about a month away from my due date so we canceled. We still want to go, and therefore, I enter to win trips like this one. If you are enjoying the scenery of the Olympics more than the actual sports themselves, you may want to enter to win this one too!

Entry Frequency - 1x per household

Simone's Thoughts - I could stand to lose about 50 lbs, but really its just a matter of getting healthier. I don't know how much of a vacation this would be, but maybe I could lose weight instead of gaining it on a trip.

End Date - March 20, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/ email

Simone's Thoughts - While this looks like an awesome trip, I just don't think that 5 nights is enough time for me to spend in Thailand. The hotel looks awesome though! Travel must be completed between June 4, 2010, and June 3, 2011.

End Date - February 26, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/ email

Simone's Thoughts - I never visited Greece or Italy when I was living in Europe because I was afraid if I did I would never leave. I won't be entering this one (even though it kills me) because travel must be completed by 12/31/10 and we are all booked this year. Best of luck if you can though, this would be a great trip!

Choppin broccoli

Cash Money

Unlimited entries

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Combos 25k Prize Pack Sweep

Prize(s)- Electronics prize of your choice worth $25,000

End Date - June 30, 2010

Entry Frequency - unlimited

Simone's Thoughts - Unlimited entries are really up to you. I have heard of people who really put forth the time and effort winning big, but in the end its all luck of the draw. I recently won a She Knows sweep worth $500 bucks with 1 entry. They tend to be unlimited or 1x per hour and I know there was more than 25k entries. So when it comes down to it, commit as little or as much time as you care too, you might win, you might not - such are sweeps!

Which trip would you pay anything for?

Sweepstakes Title/Link - GE Galapagos Trip Sweep

Prize(s) - 10 day Celebrity Cruise for 4 to the Galapagos Islands; including RT airfare to port of embarkation and $2,000; also weekly prizes of $312 Visa GC

End Date - March 15, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person

Simone's Thoughts - I have been sweeping for a while and you always check the ARV before entering to win anything in order to see if it is worth the taxes you will pay on it. That being said, there are certain trips that are so good, that it will always be worth the taxes. For me trips to the Galapagos fall under this category. Unfortunately, I can't enter this one as we just can't take another trip this year and the trip has to be taken before December 31, 2010.

Bass Boat Time

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Bass Pro Shops Nitro Sweep

Prize(s) - Kevin VanDam's Nitro Z9 boat

End Date - April 4, 2010

Entry Frequency - 1x per person

Simone's Thoughts - If you live near a Bass Pro Shop, I would enter there, as there is one finalist per store. Most likely they are pooling all online entries into one virtual store.

Transportation not included

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Women's Day New Orleans Sweep

Prize(s) - 6 day stay for two at the W New Orleans Hotel (transportation NOT included)

End Date - March 8, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/ email

Simone's Thoughts - I would say about 20% of the trip sweepstakes do not include transportation. At that point, you have to decide, if its worth it to you to enter if you are going to have to pay for your transportation. I base this upon a couple factors: Is it a place I really want to go? Are there usually other sweeps that include transportation? Is it really close by? Is it worth it money wise to pay for the transportation in order to get the other parts of the prize (e.g. a chance to win a new car where you have to be present to win)? In the case of this sweepstakes, DH & I live relatively close to New Orleans (within a days drive) and we have stayed at the W there and loved it. I really cannot say enough about that hotel. So to us, this one would be worth it.

Ladies (or guys) choice

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Diet Dr Pepper Trip Sweep

Prize(s) - Your choice of 3 night trip for 2 to NYC, Miami, or Vegas

End Date - March 31. 2010

Entry Frequency - 1x per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - I've won trips to each of these locales and personally, I would probably go back to NYC the quickest. Still haven't seen the Everglades though or Hoover Dam, so the other two are possibilities.

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Lucky Earring Sweep

Prize(s) - 14k white gold 1 ct diamond stud earrings (6 given away)
