Being eligible to participate in any of the Sweepstakes or receive a Prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. The Sweepstakes is subject to all applicable federal, state, territorial, municipal, and local laws and regulations, and is void where prohibited.
Sponsor. The sponsor of the Sweepstakes is Coast Hotels Limited (“Coast Hotels”) (the “Sponsor”).
Sweepstakes Period. The Sweepstakes starts at 12:01 a.m. on May 21, 2025, and ends at 11:59 p.m. on June 4, 2025 (the “Sweepstakes Period”). All times listed here are in Pacific Standard Time.
How to Enter. If you are an Eligible Person, you may enter the Sweepstakes by completing and submitting the Contest Trivia Quiz at https://form.123formbuilder.com/6839059/2025-coast-rewards-insider-challenge (an “Entry”) during the Sweepstakes Period.
It is necessary to fully complete the Entry, including by providing a valid email address where you may be contacted if selected as a potential winner, and submit the Entry as described on the Sweepstakes Homepage. Each Eligible Person who successfully completes the Trivia Quiz during the Sweepstakes period will automatically receive one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes and be an “Entrant.” All potential winners are subject to verification before any prize will be awarded.
To be considered valid, an Entry must:
- Be submitted via a form on www.coasthotels.com;
- Be submitted by an Eligible Person, and
- Not contain any viruses or other interfering computer programming.
By participating in the Sweepstakes, Entrants warrant and agree to abide by the Official Rules. Coast Hotels reserves the right to deem ineligible and exclude from the Sweepstakes any Entry or Entrant that Coast Hotels, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not meet or abide by the Official Rules.
There is a limit of one (1) Sweepstakes entry for every Eligible Person for each email received per email address. Multiple Entrants are not permitted to share the same email address. Any attempt by any person to enter the Sweepstakes more than one (1) time by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations, logins, or any other methods will void that person's entries and that person may be disqualified. Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification. The Released Parties are not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, or misdirected registrations, which will be disqualified. Any attempt or suspected attempt to use robotic, automatic, programmed, or otherwise illicit means to enter the Sweepstakes, or any other methods not authorized by these Official Rules, for example, but not limited to, submitting multiple Entries or creating multiple email ID’s, shall be deemed as tampering and may lead to the disqualification from Entry, participation, and/or Sweepstakes Prizes, and preclude such persons from participating in future contests and promotions, at the sole discretion of Coast Hotels. Entries that are late, lost, stolen, illegible, contain false information, are damaged, misdirected, mutilated, garbled or incomplete, altered or otherwise irregular or that do not conform with or satisfy any or all the conditions outlined in these Official Rules will be judged void. All Sweepstakes Entries become the property of Coast Hotels upon receipt, and none will be returned.
Sweepstakes Prizes.
Five (5) Prizes will be awarded to five (5) Winners. Each Winner is responsible for all taxes and fees associated with Prize receipt and/or use.
Prizes. Five (5) Winners will each receive 25,000 Coast Rewards Points, which can be redeemed for stays, merchandise, and more at participating Coast Hotels. For a full list of redemption items, Members can sign in to their account and view the Coast Rewards Redemption Catalogue.
Selection of Winners and Notification; Additional Canadian Resident Requirement. Within three (3) business days of the end of the Sweepstakes Period, Coast Hotels will select five (5) potential Prize Winners, by means of a random drawing. Five (5) Winners will be randomly selected from all eligible participants who submitted answers to all trivia quiz questions.
The potential winners as determined by the drawing will be notified by the email address that they submitted on their Entry. The potential winners may be required to sign and return (1) a Declaration of Compliance, Liability and Publicity Release (except where prohibited by law) (2) a Waiver and Release from Liability, and (3) any other document the Sponsor determines is required, necessary or appropriate, in its judgment, to confirm the winner’s eligibility and for tax reporting purposes.
Each of these items must be received by the Sponsor within ten (10) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim the Prize.
Canadian Residents. Due to legal restrictions in Canada, any potential winner who is a resident of Canada will be required to correctly answer, without the assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, a time-limited, mathematical skill-testing question to be administered by telephone or form or email (the “Skills Test”).
At any time, if (i) the Sponsor determines that a person whose submission is selected as a potential winner is not eligible to participate in the Sweepstakes, or (ii) a person whose name is drawn refuses to accept the selection as a winner, or (iii) a person whose name is drawn resides in Canada and cannot successfully complete the Skills Test; or (iv ) a person whose name is drawn cannot or does not complete the eligibility requirements described in "Additional Eligibility Requirements" above, including without limitation a failure to sign and return the required documents described above or provide any other requested information within the required time period, or (v) a person cannot be contacted, then that person will be ineligible to win a Prize. In the event that a potential winner is disqualified or ineligible for any reason, the potential winner(s) forfeits the Prize and the Sponsor will award the Prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Only three (3) alternate drawings will be held, after which the Prize will remain un-awarded.
All Prizes must be accepted as presented, are non-transferable, and are not redeemable for cash, and must be redeemed within twelve (12) months from the date of notification.

The Sweepstakes winners will be announced via Coast Hotels social media accounts at the end of the Sweepstakes Period.
