Gift Card Giveaways in Colorado Springs, CO: Updated 2026 List for Local Winners
Find documented Colorado Springs gift-card contests, past local winners and the checks to make before entering.
No official Colorado Springs-wide "updated 2026 list" of gift-card giveaways appears in the documented record. For August 2026, KOAA News5 has the only clearly active contest hub, but missing deadlines and eligibility terms prevent confirming every listing as open. Here, a gift-card giveaway means a promotion awarding a stored-value card as a prize.
It differs from a paid charitable raffle, even when both publish local winners.
Current-looking gift-card listings
The [KOAA News5 contest hub](https://www.koaa.com/community/contests) lists a MacKenzie's Chop House gift-card contest and a $250 Timberline Foam & Upholstery gift-card contest. The Timberline entry page says to enter below, but it does not display a deadline or eligibility terms. Before entering, look for rules stating the closing date, age requirement and eligible locations.
Do not assume "Colorado Springs" in a promotion's coverage or advertising means only city residents may enter. Colorado Springs Kids Magazine advertises a Starbucks gift card for June 2026. However, its [monthly giveaway page](https://www.coloradospringskids.com/monthly-giveaway) provides neither official rules nor an end date, so it should not be treated as a confirmed August opportunity.
Documented Colorado Springs winners
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver published several Colorado Springs residents among its 2026 Dream House Raffle winners. Jeff R. won a $500 gift card, while Aimee W.
and Angela C. appeared among the $100 gift-card winners. Those results show that Colorado Springs residents received prizes in a regional promotion.
They do not establish that a new or continuing drawing remains available. The [2026 raffle winner page](https://milehighraffle.com/prizewinners2026) also includes a "Buy Tickets" link. That makes this a paid charitable raffle, not a free-entry gift-card giveaway.
Past promotions that are not current entries
CareCredit's 2025 "Let's Get Digital Sweepstakes" named Melissa G. of Colorado Springs as a $500 weekly-prize winner. The sponsor says that sweepstakes has ended, and the prize was not a gift card.
The City of Colorado Springs also documented a neighborhood-gathering survey sweepstakes for adult city residents. That promotion offered gift cards but is completed, so its rules page should not be mistaken for a 2026 entry form. Past winner pages remain useful for checking whether a promotion existed and how prizes were described.
They are not evidence that entries have reopened.
What to verify before entering
A contest page without complete terms may still be genuine, but readers cannot confirm its timing or eligibility from the listing alone. Check these points before submitting personal information: If the rules, deadline or eligibility limits are missing, treat the opportunity as unconfirmed. Recheck the sponsor's contest hub instead of relying on an older post or winner page.
- Find the official rules or complete terms.
- Confirm that the entry period includes today's date.
- Check the age and residence requirements.
- Verify the exact gift-card amount and participating business.
- Determine whether entry is free or requires a raffle ticket.
Never pay to claim a sweepstakes prize
The [Colorado Attorney General's consumer guidance](https://coag.gov/file-complaint/scams/) says electronic, mailed or telephone sweepstakes solicitations requiring a purchase or fee to enter or win are generally illegal. A paid charitable raffle is a separate category and should clearly identify its ticket requirement. If someone says you won, compare the message with the sponsor's published rules and contact information.
Do not send money, buy gift cards or provide payment details to release a supposed prize.
