Southwest Rapid Rewards - 40 Days of Prizes: June 1 to July 10, 2011
You have to enter each day, not just once for all 40 days. If the prize is worth more than $600 you will get a 1099, creating an income tax headache when you list the lower market value on your tax return. :(

Um, I think that is about 3 months. You are talking about once a year sales.

Most of the 40 have wildly inflated values. I wouldn't enter any of the contests that would generate a 1099.
Literally, most are inflated enough that I wouldn't buy them at a 55-60% discount. Therefore, there is no reason for me to enter the contest even if you told me I had a 100% chance of winning.
A few exceptions in there...mostly the under-$600 prizes. 2 nights at the Phoenician and dinner for 2 for $550 is in the right ballpark, assuming you can redeem it during peak season.
The Vegas ones are especially inflated.

I agree, out of all of them, this is the only one that would interest me, not counting the tax that one would have to pay on them.

+1. Values are way hyper-inflated. No way do I want a 1099 for one of these!
