Last updated November 2026

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE OR BOOKING WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.

1. Sponsor

The Gift a Getaway Giveaway (the “Giveaway”) is sponsored by Elevated Vacays (“Sponsor”). Questions may be sent to hello@elevatedvacays.com.

2. Eligibility

The Giveaway is open to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are 18 years of age or older at the time of entry. Employees and contractors of Sponsor, and members of their immediate families or households, are not eligible. Owners of properties managed by Sponsor, prospective owners, co-hosts and business partners are eligible to enter.

3. Entry Period

The Giveaway begins at 4:00 PM Central Time (CT) on November 1, 2026 and ends at 11:59 PM CT on December 30, 2026 (the “Entry Period”). Entries received outside the Entry Period will not be accepted.

4. How to Enter

Complete and submit the entry form at elevatedvacays.com/black-friday during the Entry Period with your first name and a valid email address. Limit one entry form submission per person and per email address, plus any Bonus Entries earned as described below. Entries made through automated means, multiple identities, or other methods that circumvent these rules will be disqualified. Opting in to text messages is optional and is not required to enter.

Bonus Entries for Referrals. An entrant earns five (5) bonus entries for each new person who, during the Entry Period, submits a valid entry form for the first time and names that entrant (by full name or email address) in the form’s “Who referred you?” field. Each referred person must be an eligible, distinct individual who has not previously entered. Self-referrals and referrals made through fake, duplicate or automated identities do not count and may result in disqualification. An entrant may earn a maximum of fifty (50) bonus entries (ten referrals). In addition, each new entrant who names an eligible existing entrant in the “Who referred you?” field earns five (5) bonus entries for themselves, once. Referring others is optional and is not required to enter or win. Except for the follow and comment bonuses described below, sharing, liking or posting on any social media platform does not earn entries.

Bonus Entries for Follows. An entrant may earn two (2) bonus entries for following @elevatedvacays on Instagram and two (2) bonus entries for following @elevatedvacays on TikTok, by checking the matching box on the entry form and providing the handle of the account they follow with. Following is optional and is not required to enter or win. Follow bonus entries are verified for any entry selected as a potential winner. If a selected entrant claimed a follow bonus and Sponsor cannot confirm that the entrant’s account follows the named account at the time of the drawing, that entry will be void and another entry will be drawn. Other than a comment on the official giveaway post as described below, no entries are awarded for any action on Facebook, including liking or following a Facebook Page, joining a Facebook Group, or sharing, reposting or tagging others on Facebook.

Bonus Entries for Comments. An entrant who has submitted the entry form may earn one (1) bonus entry for leaving a comment on Sponsor’s official giveaway post on the Elevated Vacays Facebook Page, one (1) bonus entry for leaving a comment on Sponsor’s official giveaway post on @elevatedvacays on Instagram, and one (1) bonus entry for leaving a comment on Sponsor’s official giveaway video on @elevatedvacays on TikTok, during the Entry Period. Limit one comment bonus per platform per person, regardless of the number of comments. Comments that tag other people do not earn additional entries. Before the drawing, Sponsor will match Facebook comments to entries by the commenter’s name and Instagram and TikTok comments by the handle provided on the entry form; a comment that cannot reasonably be matched to an entry will not earn a bonus entry. Commenting is optional and is not required to enter or win.

5. Winner Selection and Notification

Five (5) winners will be selected in a random drawing from all eligible entries on or about December 31, 2026. The drawing will be conducted using RANDOM.ORG’s Third-Party Draw Service, an independent random drawing service, and Sponsor will record the drawing and share the video on its Instagram account. Sponsor will upload the list of eligible entries to RANDOM.ORG, which will select the winners in order and create a permanent record of the drawing. A link to that record will be posted at elevatedvacays.com, and any entrant can use it to confirm, using the email address they entered with, that their entry was included and whether it was selected. Entrants’ email addresses will not be made public. Sponsor’s decisions are final. The first entry drawn wins the Grand Prize, and the next four (4) entries drawn each win a Second Prize. Each entrant may win only one prize; if an entrant’s entry is drawn again, it will be skipped and another entry drawn. Winners will be notified by email and, if provided, by phone on or about January 1, 2027, and each must respond within 72 hours of notification to claim the prize. If a winner cannot be reached, does not respond in time, or is found ineligible, an alternate winner for that prize may be selected at random from the remaining eligible entries.

Five (5) prizes will be awarded, each an Elevated Vacays Gift a Getaway gift card: one (1) Grand Prize gift card with a value of $1,000 and four (4) Second Prize gift cards with a value of $250 each.
