What's on this page
These are sweepstakes and giveaways run by brands and retailers, free to enter, each linking to the official entry page. Unlike the rest of FreebieAgent, nothing here is guaranteed: you are entering for a chance to win. That is why sweepstakes have their own page and stay out of the free samples lists.
Prizes range from a year's supply of a household product to gift cards, electronics, trips, and cash. Small product giveaways tend to have better odds than big cash prizes, simply because fewer people enter.
How to tell a real sweepstakes from a scam
- Real sweepstakes in the US never require a purchase. "No purchase necessary" is the law, and there is always a free way to enter.
- There are official rules. A legitimate sweepstakes has a rules page naming the sponsor, the prizes, the odds or how winners are picked, and the end date.
- You never pay to claim a prize. A message saying you won but need to pay a fee, shipping, or taxes up front is a scam.
- The entry is on the brand's site or a known promotions platform, not a random page asking for your bank details.
How to enter smarter
- Use a separate email address for sweepstakes, and check it. Winners usually have a few days to respond before an alternate is picked.
- Note the entry frequency. Many sweepstakes allow one entry per day, and daily entries add up over a month.
- Read the eligibility. Most are open to US residents 18 or older, and some exclude certain states.
- Watch the end date. Each listing shows it when the rules state one.
Taxes on prizes
Prizes count as income in the US. If a prize is worth $600 or more, the sponsor will ask for your Social Security number after you win and send you a 1099 form. That is normal for a real prize, but only give it once you have confirmed you won and the request comes from the sponsor named in the official rules.
Brands run sweepstakes to get attention for a launch, a season, or a sponsorship, and the entry form is how they grow their email list. Entering is free, but you will get marketing email from the sponsor, which is the real price of entry.
FreebieAgent lists sweepstakes from real brands with official rules, checks that they are still open, and removes them once they end. If you would rather get something guaranteed, browse the [free samples by mail](/) on the rest of the site.
