Top Chesapeake, VA Travel Sweepstakes With No Purchase Necessary: Safe Entry Guide
Four no-purchase travel sweepstakes open to Chesapeake residents, with entry limits, dates, and safety steps.
Yes — Chesapeake residents can enter four travel sweepstakes right now with no purchase necessary. A sweepstakes is a chance to win a prize where winners are drawn, and no purchase necessary means free entry is available without buying anything. These options include Virginia trips, a flight-centered prize, and hotel-linked vacation prizes.
Each has its own age, residency, date, and entry limits, so check the sponsor's published rules before you enter.

Which Virginia trips are open to Chesapeake entries?
Virginia Tourism Corporation offers two current options for Chesapeake residents. The Philly to VA Sweepstakes runs Aug. 15-Nov.
30, 2026, states NO PURCHASE NECESSARY, and is open to residents 21 and older in all 50 states and D.C., with a two-night Virginia trip for two, according to Virginia Tourism Corporation in its Philly to VA entry details. That age and residency range means adults in Chesapeake qualify. The Fall in Virginia Sweepstakes runs Sept.
18-Nov. 30, 2026, offers free entry for a chance to win a Fall gift bag, and publishes NO PURCHASE NECESSARY rules for U.S. residents 18 and older, according to Virginia Tourism Corporation in its Fall sweepstakes entry page.
A gift bag is a smaller prize than a trip, but the entry window and age cutoff are wider.
Which flight and stay sweepstakes accept Chesapeake entries?
Allegiant Air's Double Down Tour Flyaway Sweepstakes states no purchase or payment is necessary to enter or win, is open to legal U.S. and D.C. residents 21 and older, and closes Nov.
20, 2026, according to Allegiant Air in its Double Down flyaway rules. Chesapeake residents who meet the age rule can enter before that November date, but entry is only a chance to win travel, not a free ticket. Bluegreen Vacations and Choice Hotels offer a longer window for lodging-linked travel.
Their joint sweepstakes runs May 1, 2026-April 30, 2027, states NO PURCHASE NECESSARY, and awards 12 monthly prizes plus a grand prize, according to Bluegreen Vacations and Choice Hotels International in its joint sweepstakes rules. Entrants must be 25 and older, U.S. residents, and free Choice Privileges members to win, so younger travelers and nonmembers need to weigh that account step.
How do you enter without losing eligibility?
Read the sponsor's eligibility, entry, prize, odds, and winner-selection rules before you submit. Sponsors must publish those terms, and Virginia bars deception under the Virginia Consumer Protection Act, according to a LegalFix summary of Virginia law. Virginia has no separate prize-amount registration rule, so careful rules review is the main protection for Chesapeake entrants.
Use this quick check for each entry:
- Confirm age, residency, entry dates, entry limit, and any account needed.
- Enter through the sponsor page named in the rules, not through messages or ads.
- Save the confirmation screen and the rules version you agreed to.
- Do not pay for entry, extra entries, or faster processing.
How do you avoid paying to claim a prize?
Never pay to receive a win. The Federal Trade Commission warns that anyone demanding payment for taxes, shipping, handling, or processing fees to release a prize is a scammer, because legitimate sweepstakes never require winners to pay to claim. Ask for the win in writing, stop contact if payment pressure starts, and do not share bank details.
Report targeted prize promotions to ReportFraud.ftc.gov, contact the state attorney general or local consumer office, and report mailed promotions to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, according to the Federal Trade Commission. Keep the message, envelope, receipt, and phone number for the report.
