No purchase or payment is required or necessary to enter, play, win or claim a prize; and a purchase or payment will not increase your odds or chances of winning.

Summary

I typically do not highlight offers to purchase miles or points because they are rarely a good deal when compared to other ways to collect or accumulate them — but there is a chance to win one of five prizes with this offer.

If you decide to participate in this sweepstakes, good luck to you, as I hope that you are one of the winners.
