How to spot a fake Christmas giveaway
Holiday giveaway scams spike in December. Walk away if you see any of these.
| Red flag | Why |
|---|---|
| They ask you to pay to claim a prize | Real sweepstakes never charge a fee, shipping or taxes up front to release a prize |
| You "won" something you never entered | That is a phishing message, not a giveaway |
| A copycat account messages you | Brands announce winners from their verified account, and rarely by direct message first |
| No official rules | US sweepstakes publish rules with the sponsor, dates, odds and a no-purchase way to enter |
| They want a bank login or Social Security number to enter | Winners of large prizes fill out a tax form after winning, never to enter |

Tips for entering holiday giveaways
- Use a separate email. Sponsors send newsletters after you enter, and winner notices can get buried.
- Enter daily ones on a routine. Twelve days of giveaways reward people who come back each day.
- Read who can enter. Many holiday sweepstakes are limited by age and state.
- Answer winner emails fast. Sponsors often give only a few days to reply before picking someone else.

Are Christmas giveaways legit?
Many are: brands run holiday sweepstakes to get attention, and they have to follow sweepstakes law. The fakes are the ones that ask you to pay to claim a prize or that message you about a prize you never entered. Every giveaway TrySpree lists links to the sponsor's own rules page.
Do I have to buy something to enter a Christmas sweepstakes?
No. In the US a sweepstakes can't require a purchase, so every one has a free way to enter, even if it is a mail-in entry described in the official rules.
Do I pay taxes on a sweepstakes prize?
Yes, prizes count as income at their fair market value. Sponsors usually send a 1099 form for prizes worth $600 or more, but smaller prizes are taxable too.
Why aren't giveaways on the TrySpree home page?
The home page and alerts list offers anyone who qualifies can claim. A giveaway is a chance to win, so TrySpree keeps them on this page and in the sweepstakes category.
