Closing in 3 days

$14,484 off published rates across 22 trip offers.

Trips only — cruise, tour and rail fares with a published was-price. The board's 5 discounted hotel cards are nightly rates, not trip totals, so they are left out; adding them would overstate the saving. Prices checked 23 Oct 2026.

Step one

Pick your escape to enter

Twelve trips from the board, one per destination. Choose the one you would book if you won — that choice is your entry, and it tells the deal desk what to hunt for you.

Search all 119 offers →

Prices are the operator’s published “from” rates and move without notice. Nothing here is charged — picking a card costs nothing and asks for nothing.

Step two

Where should we send your entry?

Your pick

No trip picked yet

Choose a card above — it fills in here.

Entering also adds you to the twice-monthly deal email. One click unsubscribes, and it never affects your entry. No purchase necessary — a purchase will not increase your chances of winning.

Next: we email you a confirmation link. Click it and your entry is in the draw.

Prefer not to share an email? There is a free mail-in entry (AMOE) worth the same ten bonus entries — see the rules.

Not ready to pick a trip? — it takes one field.

The prize, exactly

$2,500 in travel credit toward any offer on this board.

  • · Redeemable against a booking made through our operator links, within 12 months.
  • · Not cash, not transferable, no substitute except at our discretion.
  • · Anything over $2,500 is paid by you, at the operator’s rate.
  • · Taxes on the prize are the winner’s; we issue a 1099 above $600.

Why we ask you to pick

A voucher for “any trip” is only useful if you know which trip. Your pick is the most useful thing you can tell us: it decides what the desk hunts next, and it is the first line of the welcome email — the Alaska sailing you chose, plus three like it.

One entry per person

Duplicate entries are removed before the draw. Bonus entries come from confirmed referrals only — five confirmed friends is the cap we publish, and the mail-in entry matches it for free.

How it works

Three steps, and only one of them needs your email.

01

Pick the trip

Choose one of the twelve offers below — the one you would actually book. No email needed yet.

02

Add your email

One field, one 18+ checkbox. Your pick is written into the entry so we know what to hunt for you.

03

Confirm and share

Click the link in the confirmation email. Then share your link — each friend who confirms adds three entries.

Reader perks

What friends are worth

Referrals are bonus entries, never a condition of entry. Each friend who confirms their email adds three entries. At three confirmed friends the flash-deal vault opens; at five, a person on the desk researches your exact trip for free.

There is no live referral counter on this page, because there is no referral tracker behind it. Codes travel with the entry emails and are applied by hand when entries are processed — so we show the ladder, not a progress bar we cannot back with data.

The arithmetic

What $2,500 actually buys — priced off the board, today.

Every combination below is two live offers whose published from-rates fit inside the credit. One traveller, from-rates, before taxes and fees — the operator’s page always has the final number.

Both prices are per person, from-rates. Two travellers would be roughly double, which is why we never say the credit “pays for the trip”.

Winners

Who won

The first draw is Thursday 26 November 2026 · 12:00 ET.

Winners are published here within 48 hours of each draw — first name, city, the trip they booked and a line in their own words, with their permission. There is nothing to show yet because nothing has been drawn. We would rather leave this blank than invent a name.

You can also request the winners list by post — the address is in the official rules.

Questions

The ones people actually ask

Is it really free?

Yes. No purchase necessary, and buying something never increases your chances. You can also enter by mail with no email address at all — the postal entry gets the same bonus entries as referring ten friends (see the official rules).

Do I have to book through you?

The credit is redeemed against offers on this board, booked through our operator links. You pick the trip; we apply the credit to that booking. Any amount over $2,500 is yours to pay directly to the operator.

What if my trip costs more than the credit?

You pay the difference to the operator, at their published rate. $2,500 is credit toward the booking — it is not a cap, and it is not cash.

Can I enter without referring anyone?

Yes — one entry, no sharing required. Referrals are bonus entries only. The free mail-in entry (AMOE) grants the same ten bonus entries without referring a soul.

Who won last month?

Nobody yet — the first draw is Thursday 26 November 2026 · 12:00 ET. Winners are published on this page within 48 hours of each draw, with their permission, or you can request the list by post.

How do I know the draw is fair?

Entries close at 12:00 ET on draw day. The eligible set is exported and hashed before the draw, then a random index is drawn on a recorded screen. One alternate is drawn at the same time. The full procedure is in the official rules.

The fine print

No purchase necessary. A purchase will not increase your chances of winning. Open to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia, 18 or older. Void where prohibited. Entries close at 12:00 ET on Thu, Nov 26; the draw follows immediately after. Approximate retail value of the prize: $2,500. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. One entry per person per draw, plus bonus entries for confirmed referrals, capped as described in the rules; the free mail-in entry (AMOE) grants the same bonus entries. Winners are responsible for taxes; a 1099 is issued for prizes of $600 or more.
