Travel is picking up again and we want to help make your ultimate post-quarantine vacation a reality.

We're excited to announce that we've teamed up with Hilton Honors to launch an exclusive sweepstakes for TPG readers, giving away $5,000 toward your dream vacation. You can use that toward a stay at any Hilton property in the U.S. and to cover travel expenses, such as flights, car rentals and meals. You choose the place and how you want to get there and Hilton Honors will foot the bill.

Entering the sweepstakes is easy and free. Here's what you need to know.

Giveaway overview

One lucky TPG reader will be selected at random to win $5,000 toward their dream vacation. You'll get to stay at any Hilton property in the U.S. and take whatever mode of transportation you wish, whether that be car, plane, boat or even private jet.

The giveaway will run from Oct. 5 through Oct. 16, 2020 and there's no purchase necessary to enter.

If you win, you'll get to spend the $5,000 however you wish and the possibilities are endless. For instance, a family of four could use this toward a week-long stay in a suite at San Diego's iconic Hotel del Coronado in the Curio Collection by Hilton.

Just traveling as a couple? How about using the $5,000 toward a pair of first-class tickets and a beach getaway with seven nights in a suite at the Boca Raton Resort and Club, A Waldorf Astoria Resort?

If maximization is more your speed, you could stretch your winnings by booking a month in a two-room suite at a property like the Embassy Suites by Hilton Palm Desert or the Embassy Suites by Hilton Deerfield Beach Resort & Spa — both are perfect for a workcation or schoolcation.
