I had considered the mandate that they belong in the home of the sponsor - Hilton, AA, etc. But the fact remains, if i can win something I really don't care who it is on....bring on the chance.</font>
I think most people would agree. I usually post contests I find in the sponsor's forum, but sometimes I find one that I don't bother with since I don't visit those boards. Take one I found yesterday:

UA is giving away 40K miles per day from 8/31 to 9/30. It's not a biggie, but I think most non-UA FTer's that enter contests would enter it. I didn't post it because the contest period is over half over and it's a small prize, and I wasn't sure if it's already been posted (I know, do a search - but I never know if I'm using the right search criteria) - you know, some people get really offended with duplicate posts.
By the way, we got a picture in the mail Monday (finally) - my wife and I, Fuzzy Zoeller, and Jim Colbert. It was taken at the Sr. PGA Championship on the Big Island in January - we got to walk the course with them and their caddies during the opening round (not behind the ropes). Fuzzy Zoeller is a hilarious. Also got coach air fare (Tom Watson and Bruce Fleischer were in first on the trip going over), $500 and six nights at the Fairmont Orchid. Also got a golf lesson from Doug Tewell, 2001 Sr. Championship winner - Starwood is one of his sponsors.
My wife and I agreed that it was the best one-week vacation we ever had - and we won it through an internet contest.
