HOW DOES THE GIVEAWAY WORK

In order to qualify for the Giveaway, a User must reply to a currently-posed Question with an appropriate, relevant response in the form of a tweet, and must include the #AWDTravelChat hashtag. Any answer that meets the forgoing qualifications will count as an entry, regardless of merit. One entry per User. Third-party and bulk entries are not permitted. Users found using multiple accounts to enter will be ineligible. Sponsor reserves the right to stop offering Giveaways at any time without notice.
