Sweepstakes Title/Link - H2O PLUS BAHAMAS
Prize(s) - 6 day/ 5 night trip for 2 to Kamalame Cay in the Bahamas.
End Date - February 12, 2009
Entry Frequency - 1X per person (I tried though and its acting like 1x per household.)
Simone's Thoughts - Ok, so its not really that cold down here in Texas. Our winters are mild and summers are hot. That doesn't mean that I don't still want to go and lounge on a tropical beach.

I bless the rains down in Africa....
Sweepstakes Title/Link - Ultimate Safari Sweepstakes
Prize(s) - 7-day/6-night trip for two to Tanzania
End Date - January 30,2009
Entry Frequency - daily per household
Simone's Thoughts - Africa trips don't come up that frequently, so when they do, you want to jump on them. The ARV on this one is $15,000, but that is probably how much a trip of this sort would cost. Figure you would be paying taxes on the trip of a lifetime.

25k A Day!
Sweepstakes Title/Link - Room a Day Giveaway
Prize(s) - Check for $25,000 (16 winners!)
End Date - March 6, 2009
Entry Frequency - daily per person/email
Simone's Thoughts - There are some instant prizes on this one as well. Essentially, the reason you should enter is in the title. I know I could use the extra cash and I think you would be hard pressed to find someone who can't use the money right now. If you are one of those people, butt out and leave the sweeps to those who need it! Hahaha!

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Wendy's 99 Cent Bid for Value
Prize(s) - 10G, 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe SE
End Date - January 14, 2009
Entry Frequency - as many as you can get in
Simone's Thoughts - Ok, so this isn't really a sweepstakes, more of a free bid auction. You register and then come back to the site on January 13, 2009 @2:00 PM EST for the Bill Payoff ($10,000) and then January 14, 2009 @ 2:00 PM EST for the Hyundai 2008 Santa Fe SE. You answer trivia ? about Wendy's and for each correct answer you get to "place a bid." If your bid is the 99 cent bid, then you win the prize. I know it sounds confusing, but its pretty easy. Really the hardest part of this sweep is having the patience to deal with their server not being able to handle all the traffic. Use Firefox if you have it, IE didn't work so well with this. Good luck!

Sweepstakes Title/Link - HGTV Dream Home
Prize(s) - HGTV dream home in Sonoma, CA & a 2009 GMC Acadia
End Date - February 19, 2009
Entry Frequency - daily per person
Simone's Thoughts - If you enter just one sweepstakes a year - this should be that one. This is the sweepers dream win. Now, don't fall in love with this house, because you can't keep it if you win. Unfortunately, unless you are already rich enough to afford this house, you aren't going to have enough money for the property taxes. But take heart, the amount of money you can sell the house for will allow you to buy a perfectly good home or homes more in your budget!

Simone's Thoughts - Garrett & I have always wanted to win a trip to Alaska and maybe this is the one. This one does break the bank with the ARV - 25K - but it sounds like it is worth it for all that is included. They are also giving away 5 double spa gift certificates a week.

A lesson in ARV that may be worth it to take.
Sweepstakes Title/Link - NAUTICA ESCAPE SWEEPSTAKES
Prize(s) - 7 night/8 day trip for 6 to the Dulce Suenos Villa in Manzanillo, Mexico
End Date - January 31, 2009
Entry Frequency - daily per person/email
Simone's Thoughts - OK, the ARV, or approximate retail value, on this win is $19,800. The way sweepstakes work in the US is anything you win over $600 you have to pay taxes on (this is the easy version of the tax law - I know its more complex, but that is the gist of it.) So, if you win this trip you will pay taxes on almost 20k. How much you pay will depend on your tax bracket, but the thing to remember is you aren't getting a vacation for free on this one. That being said, this would be the most awesome trip to Mexico ever and thats why I posted it for you. Not to mention, those 5 friends and or relatives will love you forever for taking them. Check out the villa - have fun drooling!

Prize(s) - Snowmobiles or a trip to Quebec
End Date - December 14, 2008
Entry Frequency - 1x per person/email
Simone's Thoughts - I am really glad I don't have to drive in snow anymore. Yes you learn how to drive in it, but its still dangerous no matter how much you learn. You could definitely argue that I face more danger living in a metro area in the south than driving in snow 6 months a year, but its still more pleasant. So for my friends up north dealing with the ice storm - this sweeps for you!

Simone's Thoughts - I have always wanted to go to Fiji and I think winning a trip is about the only way I will ever get there. It is really expensive to fly there, much less afford the hotels. This trip is a great length and is for 4 people.

Prize(s) - 2008 smart fortwo vehicle or $18,000.
End Date - December 12, 2008
Entry Frequency - 1x person/ phone number
Simone's Thoughts - I think if I lived somewhere other than TX, I might drive a smart car. I just can't picture myself in one next to all the H2s on the road. Not that I want to be in the hummer, I just don't feel safe sharing the same road with them in this car. Luckily, there is a cash option and I can always use cash! They are giving away 18 grand prizes and countless smaller prizes.
