GOING “I BOOKED IT” SWEEPSTAKES
OFFICIAL RULES
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.
1. Sponsor
The GOING “I BOOKED IT” SWEEPSTAKES (the “Sweepstakes”) is sponsored by Scott’s Cheap Flights, Inc. dba Going (“Going” or “Sponsor”), located at 4845 Pearl East Circle, STE 118, PMB 28648, Boulder, CO 80301-6112.
The Sweepstakes is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Instagram or Meta. By entering, each entrant completely releases Instagram and Meta from any responsibility arising from or related to the Sweepstakes.
2. Eligibility
The Sweepstakes is open only to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are at least 18 years old at the time of entry and who are not otherwise prohibited from participating under these Official Rules.
Employees, officers, and directors of Sponsor, its affiliates, subsidiaries, suppliers, prize providers, advertising and promotion agencies, and each of their immediate family members (spouse, parent, child, sibling, and their respective spouses, regardless of where they live), and persons living in the same household as any such person, whether related or not, are not eligible.
Entrants may not be (a) residents or citizens of any country subject to an embargo imposed by the U.S. government or (b) included in any sanctions program administered or enforced by the U.S. government or any agency thereof, including the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, or U.S. Department of the Treasury, including the Specially Designated Nationals, Blocked Persons, and Denied Persons Lists.
The Sweepstakes is void wherever prohibited or restricted by law, rule, or regulation. All federal, state, and local laws and regulations apply. By participating, each entrant agrees to be bound by these Official Rules and by Sponsor’s decisions, which are final and binding in all respects.
3. Sweepstakes Period
The Sweepstakes begins at 12:00:00 a.m. Eastern Time on September 2, 2026, and ends at 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on September 30, 2026 (the “Sweepstakes Period”). Sponsor’s computer is the official timekeeping device for the Sweepstakes.
4. How to Enter Through Instagram
During the Sweepstakes Period, an eligible entrant may receive one (1) entry by completing all of the following:
- Publish an original photo, carousel, or Reel as a post on the entrant’s Instagram feed about a flight the entrant booked after discovering the flight or fare through Going (the “Qualifying Post”);
- Tag @going in the Qualifying Post;
- Include both #IBookedIt and #GoingSweepstakes clearly and conspicuously in the Qualifying Post’s caption; and
- Maintain a public Instagram profile so Sponsor can locate and verify the Qualifying Post.
Instagram Stories, comments, direct messages, and content published anywhere other than the entrant’s Instagram feed do not qualify. The Qualifying Post must be published during the Sweepstakes Period and remain public and available through October 15, 2026, for verification.
The entrant must be the authorized owner of the Instagram account used to enter. The entrant must have personally booked the flight discussed in the Qualifying Post and, if requested, must provide reasonable documentation sufficient for Sponsor to verify that the flight was discovered through Going and booked by the entrant. Entrants should redact payment-card information, confirmation codes, passport details, and other sensitive information from any documentation submitted.
Receipt of an email invitation from Going is not required to enter and does not guarantee eligibility or a prize. No particular opinion or positive statement about Going is required. Entries are evaluated only for compliance with these Official Rules; the winner is selected at random.
5. Free Alternate Methods of Entry
No flight booking, purchase, Instagram account, Instagram post, or Going membership is required to enter by either alternate method below.

6. Entry Limit and Entry Requirements
Limit one (1) entry per person during the Sweepstakes Period, regardless of entry method. Multiple Qualifying Posts or use of multiple Instagram accounts, email addresses, identities, or entry methods will not provide additional entries. If more than one entry is received from the same person, only the first eligible entry received will be included, and Sponsor may disqualify all affected entries if it determines that an entrant attempted to circumvent the entry limit.
A Qualifying Post must:
- Be the entrant’s original work and not infringe any copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other right;
- Accurately reflect the entrant’s genuine experience and not contain false or misleading claims;
- Include only people from whom the entrant has obtained permission to include in the post, and include no minor unless the entrant is the minor’s parent or legal guardian and has authority to grant the rights described in these Official Rules;
- Not contain music, images, video, logos, or other material the entrant does not have the right to use;
- Not contain unlawful, threatening, harassing, defamatory, obscene, sexually explicit, hateful, discriminatory, dangerous, or otherwise inappropriate content; and
- Comply with Instagram’s terms, policies, and community guidelines.
Entries that are incomplete, late, inaccessible, noncompliant, fraudulent, generated or submitted through automated means, or otherwise unacceptable under these Official Rules may be disqualified without notice, as determined by Sponsor in its reasonable discretion. If an entrant is later found ineligible, the entrant will be disqualified.
7. Prize; Approximate Retail Value; Odds
One (1) potential winner will be selected in a random drawing from all eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period.
The verified winner will receive one (1) Flightgift gift card delivered electronically to the email address supplied by the winner, with up to an approximate retail value (“ARV”) of $1,000 USD and no less than $500 USD. The Flightgift gift card may be used toward a future eligible flight, subject to all terms, restrictions, booking fees, airline availability, redemption requirements, and expiration rules imposed by Flightgift. Sponsor is not the issuer of the Flightgift gift card and is not responsible for a gift card not redeemed before its expiration date.
The maximum total ARV of all prizes offered in the Sweepstakes is $1,000 USD.
No cash redemption, transfer, or assignment of the prize is permitted. No prize substitution is permitted except that Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the advertised prize becomes unavailable. The winner is responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes and all other costs and expenses associated with acceptance or use of the prize that are not expressly stated as included. Sponsor may require the winner to provide information or complete documentation required for tax reporting.
Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period.
8. Random Drawing and Winner Notification
On or about October 7, 2026, Sponsor or its designated independent administrator will randomly select one (1) potential winner from all eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period.
Sponsor will notify the potential winner by email and/or Instagram direct message using the information associated with the selected entry. The potential winner must follow the notification instructions and may be required to provide their full legal name, date of birth, complete address, telephone number, email address, and other information reasonably required by Sponsor. The potential winner may also be required to sign and return an affidavit or declaration of eligibility, liability release, publicity release (where lawful), and required tax forms within seven (7) days after the notification is sent.
If a potential winner cannot be contacted, is ineligible, fails to respond or claim the prize by the deadline, fails to provide required verification or documents, declines the prize, or if a notification or prize is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits the prize. Sponsor may select an alternate potential winner at random from the remaining eligible entries. Sponsor reserves the right not to award the prize if it is unable to verify a winner after reasonable attempts.
The selected entrant is not a winner unless and until Sponsor verifies the entrant’s eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules. Sponsor’s decisions are final and binding.
9. License to Entry Content; Publicity
Entrants retain ownership of their Qualifying Posts. By submitting a Qualifying Post, each entrant grants Sponsor and its affiliates a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to reproduce, display, distribute, repost, publish, adapt solely for formatting or length, and otherwise use the Qualifying Post, the entrant’s Instagram handle, and the entrant’s name in connection with administering, promoting, and publicizing the Sweepstakes and Going, in any media now known or later developed, without further compensation, notice, review, or approval, except where prohibited by law.
Entrant represents that they have the authority to grant this license. Sponsor is not required to use any Qualifying Post. Except where prohibited by law, acceptance of the prize constitutes the winner’s permission for Sponsor to use the winner’s name, city and state of residence, voice, likeness, biographical information, Instagram handle, and prize information for advertising, publicity, and promotional purposes without additional compensation, notice, review, or approval.
10. Privacy and Use of Personal Information

11. Internet and General Provisions
Sponsor is not responsible for entries or communications that are late, lost, inaccessible, private, hidden by platform filtering, tagged incorrectly, deleted, altered, incomplete, garbled, delayed, damaged, stolen, misdirected, undeliverable, postage-due, or otherwise not compliant with these Official Rules. Sponsor is not responsible for network, server, internet, website, platform, telephone, hardware, software, transmission, data-input, typographical, printing, human, mechanical, or electronic errors or failures of any kind.
Any use of robotic, automatic, programmed, fraudulent, or similar entry methods, or any attempt to use multiple identities or accounts to circumvent the entry limit, will void affected entries and may result in disqualification. Any attempt to deliberately damage a website or undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may violate criminal and civil laws. Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages and other remedies, including attorneys’ fees, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
If fraud, technical failure, platform changes, unauthorized intervention, force majeure, or any other cause beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control impairs the integrity or proper administration of the Sweepstakes, Sponsor may cancel, suspend, modify, or terminate the Sweepstakes. If feasible and fair, Sponsor may award the prize by random drawing from eligible, non-suspect entries received before the action or as otherwise deemed fair and appropriate, subject to applicable law.
12. Release and Limitation of Liability
