Top Aurora, CO Contest Alerts With No Purchase Necessary: Safe Entry Guide

Aurora, Colorado, residents currently have four verified contest alerts that do not require a purchase. "No purchase necessary" means entry may require an app, account, code, or review, but not buying or redeeming a product. These promotions are available to eligible Aurora residents, though they are not all Aurora-specific.

Each offers only a chance to win, not a guaranteed reward.

Which alerts end soonest?

Aurora residents age 18 or older may enter Ibotta's Back to Savings Giveaway by adding the designated weekly offer in the app without buying or redeeming anything. The promotion awards one $25,000 prize and closes September 30, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time, according to the Ibotta promotion terms.

ShopBack's Take It To The House Sweepstakes is also open to Aurora residents age 18 or older. Entry requires downloading the app, creating a free account, and using code SBPUNT. The promotion runs through November 27, 2026, but a share of the $25,000 pool becomes available only if qualifying football returns occur, as explained by ShopBack's sweepstakes page.

Which promotions run through December?

Aurora residents age 21 or older may enter Tecate's "Free Tecate for a Year" promotion without a purchase through December 31, 2026. Despite the name, the prize is a $600 gift card rather than beer. Behr's Rate & Win Sweepstakes is open to Aurora residents age 18 or older through the same date; entry requires an eligible Behr product rating and review, with one entry per person and email per entry period.

See the Tecate promotion page and Behr official rules for the respective terms. A no-purchase route can still involve effort or eligibility conditions. Before entering, confirm that you meet the age requirement and can complete the specified app, code, or review action without paying.

Why Cheers Aurora is not on the verified list

Cheers Aurora has Q3 2026 prize drawings, including brewery gift cards, bowling or mini-golf, and apparel. Participants must collect badges at every participating brewery and redeem them in person by September 30, 2026, according to the Visit Aurora program page. However, that page does not state "no purchase necessary." The program may interest local readers, but it should not be treated as a verified no-purchase opportunity unless its sponsor publishes terms establishing a free entry method.

How to confirm a no-purchase entry

Colorado law describes a "no purchase necessary" message as a bold statement of at least 10-point type saying no purchase or payment is required to enter or win. It also describes official rules as a formal rules statement presented in contrasting type of at least 10 points. Use those standards as a practical reading test.

Look for a clearly labeled free entry method, eligibility rules, deadlines, entry limits, prize conditions, and sponsor information. A headline or social post alone does not establish those details. "No purchase necessary" also does not mean "free prize." You may spend time creating an account or submitting information, and your entry remains only a chance to win.

Enter and claim prizes safely

Start from the sponsor's own website, app, or published rules. Colorado's Attorney General warns that sweepstakes solicitations generally cannot require a purchase or fee to enter or win. If a notice conflicts with the published rules, pause and contact the sponsor through details you found independently.

• Check the minimum age and eligible location before sharing personal information.
• Follow the stated free-entry method exactly, including codes and deadlines.
• Save the rules or confirmation screen until the drawing is complete.
• Independently locate the sponsor's contact details if you receive a winning notice.
• Do not pay a "claim," tax, processing, or delivery fee requested in an unexpected message.
