Compare three verified 2026 travel sweepstakes open to Detroit residents, including deadlines, prizes, and free entry routes.
Among the verified 2026 options, Detroit residents can consider the Choice Hotels/Wells Fargo, Mobil 1, and High Noon travel sweepstakes. None is Detroit-only: each is a national sweepstakes, meaning a random-draw promotion, open to eligible Michigan residents. Choice offers points and cash, Mobil 1 offers Universal Studios Hollywood trips, and High Noon offers three themed trips.
Compare the deadlines, age limits, entry methods, and possible out-of-pocket costs before entering.
Are any current sweepstakes exclusive to Detroit?
No verified Detroit-only travel sweepstakes was active as of Aug. 10, 2026. The identified Visit Detroit "Trip In Fall" promotion ran from Sept.
29 through Oct. 31, 2025. That old promotion is not a 2026 entry opportunity, even if its page remains accessible.
Detroit readers should focus on national promotions whose eligibility rules include Michigan residents.
Choice offers the largest and most flexible prize pool
The Choice Hotels/Wells Fargo Summer Travel Sweepstakes runs through Sept. 30, 2026. It accepts adult legal residents of all 50 states and Washington, D.C., according to the Choice Privileges 2026 rules.
One winner receives one million Choice Privileges points plus $4,000, with a stated total value of $14,300. Four entrants receive 250,000 points, while 122 receive 50,000 points. Winners are selected randomly, and the odds depend on the number of entries.
A free mail-in entry has the same odds as other eligible entries. Automatic purchase entries require a qualifying signature-based Choice Privileges Mastercard transaction; debit, corporate, and PIN transactions do not count.
Mobil 1 has 15 Hollywood trips available
The Mobil 1 National 2026 Sweepstakes is open to U.S. and Washington, D.C., residents age 18 or older. Entries close Aug.
31, 2026, and the Mobil 1 rules provide a free mail-in method using a 3-by-5-inch card. Fifteen winners receive a Universal Studios Hollywood trip for four. Each package includes airfare, two hotel nights, admission, $1,200 for meals, and $500 for transportation.
The stated value is $5,000. This option has a defined destination and more winners than the other trip promotions in this guide. However, blackout dates apply, and the winner must cover expenses that the prize description does not specifically include.
High Noon offers three different group experiences
The High Noon Summer Travel promotion runs through Sept. 7, 2026. It is open to U.S.
and Washington, D.C., residents age 21 or older, except Utah residents, under the High Noon 2026 rules. Three winners receive trips for four centered on golf, a Miami yacht outing, or a Las Vegas pool party. Every winner and guest must be at least 21, and travel must be completed by Dec.
31, 2026. Unspecified incidental expenses remain the winner's responsibility. Eligible Detroit residents can begin at the High Noon official entry portal.
Check that all intended guests meet the age rule before choosing this promotion.
How to enter without creating avoidable costs
Use the rules to compare each prize with your schedule and budget: The Michigan Attorney General's consumer alert advises consumers never to pay to collect a prize or provide financial or Social Security information upfront.
- Enter Mobil 1 before Aug. 31, High Noon before Sept. 7, or Choice before Sept. 30.
- Use the free mail-in route for Choice or Mobil 1 if you do not want to make a qualifying purchase.
- Consider blackout dates, incidentals, and other unspecified expenses before accepting a trip.
- Confirm age requirements for both the winner and any guests.
