Win a Free Honeymoon
"Nothing in life is
free"—unless you win a free honeymoon vacation in a promotional
sweepstakes or contest. A surprising number of travel agencies and other
companies run contests giving away honeymoon vacations as a way of
promoting their services.

Granted, the odds of winning are
small, and the honeymoon you win might not be your dream honeymoon. But
if the alternative is not going on a honeymoon at all, it might be worth
spending an hour or two entering contests on the web.
We've listed some of the honeymoon
contests we found on the web at the time of this writing; if they're out
of date, you can do your own research at your favorite search engine
under the following keywords: win honeymoon, free honeymoon, "win a free
honeymoon," win vacation, honeymoon giveaway, vacation giveaway. Be sure
to check the deadline date for the contest before submitting—we found
that many results were usually for contests that had ended long ago.
Also, repeat your search every few weeks, as new contests appear all the
time.
A couple of suggestions as you make
the rounds of the free honeymoon sites: 1) Be aware that by supplying
your e-mail address to the contest sponsors, you're basically inviting a
steady stream of e-mail in the future. Some contest sponsors even
provide your e-mail address to other wedding and travel vendors, meaning
you could be swamped with unwanted e-mail. You can avoid this by signing
up for a free e-mail account (e.g., Hotmail or Gmail or Yahoo! Mail)
that you use exclusively for registering for these contests. Also, some
contests may offer an option to opt out of future e-mail. 2) If
you end up entering dozens of contests, you may want to download the
Google toolbar, which has a feature that will allow you to automatically
fill out forms with your personal information with the click of a
button.

Contests are entered in order of their
expiration dates (ongoing contests listed at the bottom of this page). For
obvious reasons, we're not able to verify whether each of these contests is
legitimate. If you find any of these contests to be fraudulent or misleading
(i.e., you entered a contest and "won" a trip you had to pay for), please let us
know so we can remove it from this listing.
