What fee demand means you should walk away?
The Federal Trade Commission states that prize promoters never need payment to release a prize, so requests for taxes, shipping, handling, or processing fees point to a prize scam, described in the March 2026 prize-scam alert. Treat unexpected calls, texts, mail, or messages about a trip win as a prompt to pause. Save the message, do not send money or gift cards, and do not share bank details.

What does that prize include and who can enter?
The published terms describe a trip for two with round-trip airfare, a Nov. 9-12, 2026 stay at Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, a Nov. 11 H5 Helicopters Grand Canyon and Sedona flight with Sedona lunch, and a $150 Uber card, detailed in the prize description.
The same terms state no purchase is necessary, entry is open to U.S. residents age 21 and older, sponsor employees and their households are excluded, and the social platforms do not sponsor the drawing. Glendale entrants meet the location test when they meet the age and other stated limits.
What does a trip win cost at tax time?
The Internal Revenue Service treats gambling winnings to include cash and the fair-market value of prizes such as trips, explained in the IRS rules for gambling winnings. That means a free chance to win is not a free trip if you win. Read the prize value statement, keep records of travel received, and plan for reporting the trip value as income.
