Want to win the biggest giveaway we've ever organized?

What will it take to win this giveaway, you ask? All you need to do is make a $10 minimum donation to Rainbow Railroad through our Prizeo campaign. (Of course, the more you give, the more opportunities you have to win!)

Rainbow Railroad is an amazing organization that provides support for LGBT refugees as they seek safe haven from state-enabled violence, murder or persecution. In recent months, the worst headlines have come from places such as Chechnya and Brunei, where gay and bisexual men face widespread abuse and persecution sanctioned by — or even perpetuated by — their governments ranging from abductions to beatings, torture and even death.

TPG has teamed up with Chase to offer the grand prize of a trip of a lifetime planned by The Points Guy, to anywhere in the world, using up to ONE MILLION Chase Ultimate Rewards points! If you are the lucky winner, Kelly will fly you to New York City for a personal trip-planning session, where you'll brainstorm ideas to personalize and book your dream trip.

The more you donate, the more entries you receive in the contest. Depending on your donation amount, you may also be eligible for exclusive merchandise, including limited-edition sweatshirts and TPG reader event tickets. And if you're feeling really generous — or adventurous — a $50,000 donation could land you a Zero-G flight with Kelly!

If a seven-figure quantity of points is beyond your imagination's limits, you could enlist Kelly's help brainstorming how to book a first-class, around-the-world trip for two people. Flights could include Asiana's A380 suites from the US to Korea, or Asiana's A380 business class to Bangkok; Thai's 747 first class to Sydney; business class on Air China; first class to Paris by way of Beijing; or Lufthansa first class to the US via Frankfurt. Or, if you'd prefer to bring your loved ones along with you for an extended-family reunion of a lifetime, you could book round-trip tickets in lie-flat first class between the US mainland and Hawaii.

If five-star hotels are more your speed, consider spending seven nights each at the Park Hyatt New York, Park Hyatt Sydney and Park Hyatt Tokyo for just 630,000 Ultimate Rewards points total, transferred to Hyatt at a 1:1 ratio. If you're up for spending almost a full month on the road, throw in an additional week at the Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa for just 210,000 points more: 840,000 Ultimate Rewards points total.

This isn't our first epic giveaway. Last year for his birthday, The Points Guy himself gave away 500,000 points from his personal account to the winner of our first Prizeo campaign. Thanks to the generosity of our readers, TPG's birthday fundraiser resulted in more than $200,000 for Rainbow Railroad and a priceless experience for lucky winner Patrick K. And we've also fundraised for the Make-A-Wish foundation with a giveaway of 1 million United miles.

This year, our lofty goal is to raise $1,000,000 for Rainbow Railroad through this campaign. The sky's the limit, right?

Two years ago, TPG marched at the DC Pride Parade. And this year on June 30, we will be a sponsor of WorldPride NYC! Join LGBTQIA+ movers and shakers, influencers, allies and first-time Pride attendees on our epic, Boeing 747-themed parade float while legendary DJ Lady Bunny spins Pride-filled anthems as we march. It's an experience you won't want to miss — and the only way you can join us is by donating via the Prizeo campaign. A $250 pledge saves you a spot!

So what are you waiting for? It's time to be generous!
