How to Enter: There are two (2) methods of entry in this Sweepstakes: (1) via Twitter; and (2) via Instagram. During the Sweepstakes Period, entrants will be asked to share their dream vacation on Instagram or Twitter (hereafter collectively, “Submission”) by following the instructions below for each entry method.
Twitter: During the Sweepstakes Period, after logging into your Twitter account, using the hashtag #ShareYourDream & #Sweepstakes (the “Sweepstakes Hashtag”), post a tweet from your Twitter account sharing your dream vacation. Each tweet must contain your two-hundred and eighty (280) character response that includes the Twitter Hashtag (#ShareYourDream & #Sweepstakes), a description of your dream vacation, and your Twitter profile settings must be public to be eligible for the Sweepstakes. Submissions that do not follow this format will be discarded or ignored and will not earn an entry into the Sweepstakes. Twitter Submissions may include a photo, but a photo is not required as a part of your Submission in the Sweepstakes. Submissions submitted in the form of a video will be ineligible. The content of the Submission will not be used as a factor in determining the winners and will not in any way affect your chances of winning, except to the extent it violates these Official Rules and results in disqualification. If you do not have a Twitter account you may sign-up for free by visiting Twitter.com and following the enrollment instructions. By using the Twitter Hashtag in connection with your Submission, you are acknowledging and agreeing that Sponsor has the right to use your Submission as set forth in these Official Rules. Sponsor may not receive Submissions that fail to strictly follow the posting instructions set forth in these Official Rules and Sponsor is not responsible for failure to see or receive an entry. Messages not received by Sponsor will not be entered into the Sweepstakes. NOTE: Sponsor may not receive Submissions from Twitter users with “protected” updates (i.e., user has set their Twitter account so that only people the user has approved can view their updates) due to the way Twitter operates its service. By using the Twitter Hashtag in connection with your Submission, you are acknowledging and agreeing that Sponsor has the right to use your Submission as set forth in these Official Rules and confirming your acceptance and agreement to these Official Rules.
Instagram: During the Sweepstakes Period, after logging into your Instagram account, post your entry through your Instagram account using the hashtag #ShareYourDream & #Sweepstakes (the “Sweepstakes Hashtag”). Each post must contain your two-hundred and eighty (280) character response that includes the Instagram Hashtag (#ShareYourDream & #Sweepstakes), a description of your dream vacation, a photo of your dream vacation, and your Instagram profile settings must be public to be eligible for the Sweepstakes. Submissions that do not follow this format will be discarded or ignored. Submissions submitted in the form of a video will be ineligible. The content of the Submission will not be used as a factor in determining the winner and will not in any way affect your chance of winning, except to the extent it violates these Official Rules and results in disqualification. If you do not have an Instagram account you may sign-up for free by visiting Instagram.com and following the enrollment instructions. By using the Instagram Hashtag in connection with your Submission, you are acknowledging and agreeing that Sponsor has the right to use your Submission as set forth in these Official Rules. Sponsor may not receive Submissions that fail to strictly follow the posting instructions set forth in these Official Rules and Sponsor is not responsible for failure to see or receive an entry. NOTE: Sponsor may not receive Submissions from Instagram users with “private” account settings (i.e., user has set their Instagram Account so that only people the user has approved can view their photos) due to the way Instagram operates its service. Messages not received by Sponsor will not be entered into the Sweepstakes. By using the Instagram Hashtag in connection with your Submission, you are acknowledging and agreeing that Sponsor has the right to use your Submission as set forth in these Official Rules and confirming your acceptance and agreement to these Official Rules.

If an entrant submits more than one (1) Submission on Twitter or Instagram in any given day, then all Submissions received on each platform after the first Submission on that given day will be void. Any attempt to use multiple names, Twitter accounts, or Instagram accounts or other tactics to enter this Sweepstakes more than the stated limit may result in the disqualification of the Submission by the Sponsor from the Sweepstakes and all associated Submissions will be void.

Selection of Winners/Odds: Potential winners will be selected in a random drawing on dates referenced in chart above from among all eligible Submissions received during each applicable Entry Period. Non-winning Submissions received for one (1) Entry Period drawing will carry forward to subsequent Entry Period drawings. All eligible Submissions received during the Sweepstakes Period will be eligible in the Grand Prize drawing at the end of the Sweepstakes. Drawing will be conducted by Administrator. By participating, entrants agree to the terms of these Official Rules and to the decisions of the Sponsor, which will be final and binding in all matters relating to the Sweepstakes.
Potential winners will be contacted by Sponsor’s designated representative by either: 1) Posting a comment on that potential winners’ Submission, which will require the potential winners to direct message the Sponsor and provide their contact information within twenty-four (24) hours of issuance of notification, or 2) Via direct message to potential winners and such potential winners will be required to respond as instructed via direct message to Sponsor and provide their contact information within twenty-four (24) hours of issuance of notification. Sponsor shall have the right to announce the winners on its social feeds (Instagram or Twitter, or otherwise), in its sole discretion. Limit one (1) First Prize per person, per household and per email address (as linked to the entrant’s Twitter and/or Instagram account) for this Sweepstakes.

Potential winner must: (i) demonstrate he/she has a Card open and in good standing at time of winner selection and prize fulfillment; and (ii) provide Administrator with the primary cardmember’s AAdvantage number and any additional information required by Administrator.

If ticketing is less than twenty-one (21) days prior to departure, a $75.00 expedite charge will apply (waived for AAdvantage® Executive Platinum, AAdvantage® Platinum and AAdvantage® Gold members using Miles from their accounts). A ticketing service charge of up to $40.00 will apply when ticketing via Reservations, American Airlines Travel Center or an Airport Ticket Office. (The ticketing service charge is waived for involuntary changes, reissued tickets, AAdvantage® award tickets issued within twenty-one (21) days of travel and an expedite charge has been collected, AAirpass® tickets, Government/military fare tickets, and prepaid tickets.) Some of these taxes, fees and other amounts may be due upon booking/ticketing the AAdvantage® award travel.

American Airlines reserves the right to change the AAdvantage® program and its terms and conditions at any time without notice, and to end the AAdvantage® program with six months’ notice. American Airlines may make any one or more of these changes at any time even though such changes may affect your ability to use the mileage credit or awards that you have already accumulated. AAdvantage® travel awards, accrued mileage credits and special offers are subject to government regulations. For complete AAdvantage® program details, visit www.aa.com/aadvantage.

Any potential winner will be required to notify Sponsor of prize acceptance by returning an executed and notarized Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability Release and (where legal) Publicity Release within three (3) days of issuance of notification or other time period determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. If a direct message, prize notification letter, or prize is returned as undeliverable or the prize is declined for any reason, potential winner will be disqualified and, at Sponsor’s sole discretion, an alternate potential winner may be selected by random drawing from among all eligible Submissions received. The Released Parties are not responsible for electronic communications that are undeliverable as a result of any form of active or passive filtering of any kind, or insufficient space in entrant’s email account to receive email messages. Should a potential winner decide to decline their prize for any reason whatsoever or not respond to the prize notification by the applicable response deadlines, Sponsor shall have no further obligation to that potential winner and an alternate potential winner may be randomly selected from among all remaining eligible Sweepstakes Submissions. Non-compliance with any of the foregoing may result in disqualification and awarding of a prize to an alternate potential winner. The Released Parties are not responsible for any changes to or unavailability of the social media platform used for purposes of administering this Sweepstakes that may interfere with the Sweepstakes (including any limitations, any restrictions, or any conditions on Sponsor’s ability to use the social media platform for the Sweepstakes as set forth herein that are not acceptable to Sponsor) or ability of entrant to timely enter, receive notices or communicate with Sponsor via the social media platform, in which case Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may terminate or modify the Sweepstakes. By participating, entrants agree to be bound by these Official Rules and agree that Released Parties and their designees and assigns and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, representatives, agents, and the franchisees of any of them shall have no liability and entrant will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sponsor, the other Released Parties, Twitter, and Instagram from and against any liability, loss, injury, or damage of any kind (including attorneys’ fees) to any person or entity, including, without limitation, personal injury, death or damage to personal or real property, due in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by reason of: (i) entrant’s participation in the Sweepstakes; (ii) any materials he or she may submit in connection herewith; (iii) the acceptance, possession, use or misuse of prize or participation in any activities associated with the Sweepstakes or any prize awarded in connection herewith; (iv) the Released Parties’ violation of rights of publicity or privacy, claims of defamation or portrayal in a false light or based on any claim of infringement of intellectual property; and (v) any typographical, human or other error in the printing, offering, selection, operation or announcement of any Sweepstakes activity and/or prize. The Released Parties are not responsible for the actions of entrants in connection with the Sweepstakes, including entrants’ attempts to circumvent the Official Rules or otherwise interfere with the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of the Sweepstakes. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to void any and all Submissions of an entrant who Sponsor believes has attempted to tamper with or impair the administration, security, fairness, or proper play of this Sweepstakes and to modify, suspend, and/or terminate this Sweepstakes (or portion thereof) should virus, bugs, non-authorized human intervention or other causes corrupt or impair the administration, security, fairness, or proper play of the Sweepstakes and, in the case of termination, at its discretion, select a potential winner via a random drawing from all eligible Submissions received prior to the event that required such termination and for which the Sponsor, in its sole discretion, deems non-suspect consistent with the format and entry requirements discussed herein. In the event Sponsor or Administrator is prevented from continuing with the Sweepstakes by any event beyond its control, including, but not limited to, fire, flood, epidemic, earthquake, explosion, labor dispute or strike, act of God or public enemy, communications or equipment failure, utility or service interruptions, riot or civil disturbance, terrorist threat or activity, war (declared or undeclared), interference with the Sweepstakes by any party, or any federal, state, local or provincial government law, order, or regulation, order of any court or jurisdiction, or other cause not reasonably within Sponsor’s and/or Administrator’s control (each, a “Force Majeure” event or occurrence), Sponsor shall have the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Sweepstakes or related prizes. Sponsor and Administrator additionally reserve the right, in their sole and absolute discretion: (a) to modify, suspend or terminate the Sweepstakes should causes beyond Sponsor’s or Administrator’s control corrupt or interfere with the administration, integrity, operation, security, or proper play of the Sweepstakes; or (b) to disqualify any entrant found to be, or suspected of: (i) tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes; (ii) acting in violation of these Official Rules; or (iii) acting in an un-sportsmanlike manner. CAUTION: Any attempt to undermine the legitimate operation of this Sweepstakes is a violation of criminal and civil laws and should such an attempt be made, the Sponsor and the applicable Released Parties reserve the right to seek damages (including attorneys’ fees) and/or other remedies from any such person(s) responsible for the attempt to the fullest extent permitted by law. Released Parties make no warranty, guaranty or representation of any kind concerning prize and disclaim any implied warranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, entrants agree that the Released Parties: (a) maintain no control over the personnel, equipment or operation of any manufacturer or other person or entity furnishing services, products or accommodations (“Suppliers”) as a part of the prizes provided in connection with the Sweepstakes; and (b) will not be responsible or liable for any injury, damage, loss, expense, accident, delay, inconvenience or other irregularity that may be caused or contributed to: (i) by the wrongful, negligent or unauthorized act or omission on the part of the Suppliers or any of their agents, servants, employees or independent contractors, (ii) by any defect in or failure of any vehicle, equipment, instrumentality, service or product that is owned, operated, furnished or otherwise used by any of those Suppliers, (iii) by the wrongful, negligent or unauthorized act or omission on the part of any other person or entity not an employee of the Released Parties, and (iv) by any cause, condition or event whatsoever beyond the control of the Released Parties. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. Except where prohibited, entrant agrees that any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of, or connected with, the Sweepstakes or prize awarded shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by the appropriate court located in the state of New York. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, entrants’ rights and obligations, or the rights and obligations of the Sponsor in connection with the Sweepstakes, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of New York without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules. The remedy for any claim shall be limited to actual damages, and in no event shall any party be entitled to recover punitive, exemplary, consequential, or incidental damages, including attorneys’ fees or other such related costs of bringing a claim, or to rescind this agreement or seek injunctive or any other equitable relief. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any provision of the Official Rules is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. Entrants agree to waive any rights to claim ambiguity of these Official Rules. Headings are solely for convenience of reference and will not be deemed to affect in any manner the meaning or intent of the Official Rules or any provision hereof. In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Sweepstakes-related materials, privacy policy or terms of use on any website, social media platform or application and/or the terms and conditions of the Official Rules, the Official Rules shall prevail, govern and control, and the discrepancy will be resolved in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.
