What kind of trip is it? Personally, unless it wasn't something unique (VIP passes, special guest, unique activities, etc), I'd take the cash and plan my own vacation with it. You'd save money too since a lot of those trip prizes are overpriced.
Excellent points sir!

That's what I'm going to have to discuss with my better half this evening MLx3. Smilie

Personally, I'd take the cash alternative just because that would be VERY useful to me right now, but I know that she's really been wanting to take a vacation for months, so we'll see.

That's indeed a great couple of days Big Grin
Well, let us know what you & the better half decide. Either way, congratulations again & enjoy!!

This is my thinking as well. The only thing special about the trip is passes to a grand opening of a new gallery, and a few passes to other museums/art things. So nothing overly special, that's for sure.

Thanks everyone for the advice and words of congrats!!! LMAO

I would take the cash, you could plan a nice trip with it and still have some left over to pocket wave

Trips are always overvalued as how much is spent depends on how far you have to travel and when, etc. I've only won one trip. It was valued at $3800 and they actually spent $2200. I received a 1099 for the $2200 they spent, that's all. So if it's a trip you want to take go for it. I actually researched the lowest prices for airfare and hotel before taking the trip and was somewhat surprised when I found out the travel agency used by the contest administrator was able to get everything for substantially less than I could have. And I know the places on the Internet to find the best deals on travel. Most companies that give away trips on a regular basis have deals in place with corporate sponsors. On my trip they used Delta and MGM. If you do take a trip you won always ask for and keep receipts. You only have to pay taxes on what they spent.

Congrats! Do you mind if I ask how many entries you have thus far in the Autozone one?
Last time I looked, just over 600 entries. I don't have many Facebook friends, but, apparently 2 or 3 have been entering through my invite most every day. Plus, I've entered religiously every single day since the sweeps started.

I won a $6,000 Lowe's gift card in the Dollar General Everyday Clean. Everyday Savings. [eprize.com] contest. Finished the forms & got the verification email. Just waiting on the arrival.

I've been having a pretty lucky streak lately!!! This is the icing on the cake!

Three wins yesterday:

1 - a $50 Amazon gift card from sweepstreet (my 2nd win from this site)
2 - a basket of Italian pastas, oils, sauces, olive and other food from Saveur (valued at $100)
3 - an Invicta watch from World of Watches (which originally listed for over $500, though it's been marked down to $74) (this is the 3rd Invicta watch I have won, each from a different site!)

And 2 more local wins this week: Dinner and two tickets to "The Music Man" at a local theater last night (with transportation) and 4 tickets to the Riot Act Comedy Club for tonight's show.
