Anchorage residents can enter the Club 49 birthday drawing Oct. 13-15 and review Aurora tour entry steps before deadlines pass.
On October 13, 2026, Anchorage readers have two verified travel chances: Alaska Airlines' Club 49 Birthday Giveaway and Alaska Photo Treks' Aurora Quest tour giveaway. A travel sweepstakes here means a chance to win travel-related prizes, not a promised benefit. This guide covers who may enter each chance, how entry works, and what limits apply.
It also notes recent travel offers that have closed, so readers do not confuse them with current options.

What does the Aurora tour giveaway include?
Alaska Photo Treks states its 2026 giveaway offers one Anchorage Aurora Quest tour for two and requires no purchase to enter. Entrants must be 18 or older, and travel and lodging are expressly excluded Aurora Tour giveaway rules. That structure suits someone already in Anchorage who can reach the tour meeting point.
The prize covers the tour experience itself, not flights, hotels, or other trip costs. Readers should weigh the tour value against their own transport needs. An Anchorage local avoids added travel costs that a visitor would face.
Which recent travel offers have already closed?
Alaska Airlines via Club 49 Hub describes the related Club 49 PFD Go Anywhere Giveaway as four systemwide round-trip tickets worth up to $14,000. Entry closed Oct. 1 with a drawing Oct.
2, 2026, so it is recent context rather than something to enter now. Visit Anchorage states its Wild for Winter Giveaway was limited to Alaska residents 18 and older and awarded three winter packages, including a $1,250 Alyeska Resort gift card. That offer ran Nov.
3-19, 2025 and has ended. AMC Theatres pages describe an Alaskan Adventure Sweepstakes for Stubs members seeing "Heart of the Beast" Sept. 24-Oct.
4, with a trip for two to Denali National Park including airfare, lodging and excursions. That entry window has also closed.
How can you check a ticket offer before entering?
Alaska Airlines Newsroom advises Anchorage entrants to verify two signals before trusting a ticket giveaway. A ticket offer is more likely to be fake when it is not hosted on or linked from alaskaair.com, or when it lacks posted rules giveaway-verification guidance. Use those checks on social posts, emails, and messages that mention free Alaska travel.
Look for a working link back to alaskaair.com and a readable rules page with eligibility, dates, and prizes.
