  1. Sweepstakes; Sponsor: The Antarctica Cabin Giveaway (the “Sweepstakes”) is sponsored by Aethereal, LLC d/b/a “10xTravel,” #1418, 1919 Taylor Street, Ste F, Houston, TX 77007 (“Sponsor”), and is administered through Sponsor’s website and its My10x platform (“My10x”).

 

  1. Eligibility: Each individual entering the Sweepstakes (each, an “Entrant”) must, at the time of entry and through the award of any prize: (a) be a legal resident of one of the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia, excluding residents of New York and Florida; (b) be at least eighteen (18) years of age or the age of majority in their state of residence, whichever is greater; (c) hold valid government-issued photo identification; (d) hold a My10x account; and (e) not be, and not at any time within the six (6) months before the Registration Period (defined below) have been, an employee, officer, director, member, manager, shareholder, contractor, consultant, or agent of Sponsor or the fulfillment agency engaged for the Sweepstakes, of Antarctica Travel Group (the “Cruise Operator”), or an immediate family member or household member of any such person. Individuals who satisfy these requirements are “Qualified Persons.” Sponsor may require proof of eligibility, including proof of residency, at any time. By participating, each Entrant represents that they are a Qualified Person and agrees to be bound by these Official Rules.

 

  1. Registration Period: The Sweepstakes begins at 9:00 a.m. (ET) on November 9, 2026 and ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on November 22, 2026 (the “Registration Period”). Sponsor’s computer is the official time-keeping device. All entries and entry actions must be completed and received before the Registration Period ends.

 

  1. How to Enter: Entries may be obtained only as described in this Section 4.

 

 

(b) Base Entries (100 per person; choose either method). After completing the Entry Form, an Entrant may receive one hundred (100) entries (“Base Entries”) through either method below. Both methods are available for the entire Registration Period and award the identical number of Base Entries. Base Entries are limited to one hundred (100) per person regardless of the method used or the number of purchases made; completing both methods yields one hundred (100) Base Entries, not two hundred (200).

 

Free Method. Submit the free entry request located at https://10xtravel.com/antarctica-giveaway-free with your name, the email address associated with your My10x account, and your mailing address. No purchase, payment, subscription, or financial information of any kind is required. Limit one (1) free entry request per person.

 

Purchase Method.

 

(c) Bonus Entries (up to 100 per person; available to all Entrants). Any Entrant who has completed the Entry Form, whether the Entrant obtained Base Entries through the Free Method or the Purchase Method, may receive additional entries (“Bonus Entries”) by completing the actions in the table below. No action requires a purchase or payment. Bonus Entries are credited upon Sponsor’s verification that the action was completed in accordance with these Official Rules. Bonus Entries are offered subject to Sponsor’s ability to track completion of the actions in the table within My10x. If Sponsor determines, at any time, that it is unable to track or verify one or more of those actions, Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, remove the affected action(s) from the table, reduce the number of Bonus Entries available, or discontinue Bonus Entries entirely, and may post an updated table on the Sweepstakes page. In that event, no Bonus Entries will be credited for any action Sponsor is unable to track, the Sweepstakes will proceed on the basis of Base Entries and any Bonus Entries Sponsor is able to track, and no Entrant will have any claim against the Released Parties for Bonus Entries that were not offered or credited.

A “Daily Action” means logging or updating a card benefit, viewing the Next Card page, adding or updating a points balance in My Points, or tracking a trip redemption within My10x; one (1) Daily Action per calendar day (ET) will be credited, at two (2) Bonus Entries per day, for up to thirteen (13) days. The “10xTravel course” means the six (6) core sections of the Takeoff course in My10x; supplemental resources, appendices, and tools within the course do not count. A credit score is a number the Entrant personally types into their My10x profile; Sponsor does not request or obtain any information from a consumer reporting agency, and no credit inquiry is made. All actions must be completed by the Entrant personally through the Entrant’s own My10x account. Actions completed using bots, scripts, multiple accounts, or other automated or fraudulent means will not be credited and may result in disqualification. Sponsor’s records are final.

 

(d) . An Entrant who completes the Entry Form will be credited, at that time and subject to the maximums in the table, for the following actions if completed before the Registration Period: creating a My10x account, adding a credit score, adding credit cards, syncing a card account, completing course sections or the entire course, and tracking one (1) trip redemption. All other actions must be completed during the Registration Period. Credit under this Section 4(d) is subject to Sponsor’s ability to track pre-Registration Period activity within My10x. If Sponsor is unable to track or verify such activity for any or all of the actions listed above, no credit will be given for that activity, Sponsor may limit or discontinue credit under this Section 4(d) in the same manner as provided in Section 4(c), and no Entrant will be entitled to Bonus Entries on account of it. This credit is available on identical terms under the Free Method and the Purchase Method.

 

(e) Reserved.

 

(f) Facebook Group Post. An Entrant may receive two (2) Bonus Entries by publishing one (1) post in the 10xTravel Facebook Group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/10xtravel (the “Group”) during the Registration Period that describes the Entrant’s honest experience using My10x and includes the hashtag #antarcticagiveaway. The Entrant must be the author of the post, must publish the post under a Facebook profile name that matches the Entrant’s name on the Entry Form, and must comply with the Group rules and Meta’s terms and Community Standards. Anonymous posts do not qualify. Sponsor will identify qualifying posts by searching the Group for the hashtag; posts that Sponsor cannot reasonably match to an Entrant will not be credited. Posting on a personal timeline, sharing to a friend’s timeline, or tagging friends is not a method of entry. By publishing a qualifying post, the Entrant grants Sponsor a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to share and display the post, with the hashtag retained, in connection with the Sweepstakes and Sponsor’s promotional activities.

 

(g) Refunds, Reversals, and Chargebacks. Purchase Method Base Entries are conditioned on a completed, non-reversed purchase. If a qualifying purchase, switch, or renewal is refunded, canceled, reversed, disputed, or charged back at any time before the applicable prize is awarded, the associated Base Entries are void (any Bonus Entries are unaffected), and a potential Winner whose purchase is so reversed will be disqualified and the prize awarded to an alternate. Each potential Winner who used the Purchase Method will represent in the Affidavit (defined below) that no refund request, dispute, or chargeback has been submitted. No drawing will be conducted until at least fourteen (14) days after the Registration Period ends.

 

(h) General Entry Conditions. Limit two hundred (200) total entries per person (one hundred (100) Base Entries plus up to one hundred (100) Bonus Entries), regardless of the methods used. Sponsor’s records of entries are final and controlling. Entries are non-transferable. Any attempt to obtain more than the permitted number of entries, including by using multiple or different My10x accounts, email addresses, or identities, voids all of that Entrant’s entries. Released Parties (defined below) are not responsible for entries or actions that are lost, late, incomplete, invalid, or not credited for any reason, including technical error or failure, unauthorized human intervention, or network or equipment failure, and proof of completion is not proof of receipt. In the event of a dispute as to any Entrant’s identity, the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the My10x account used to enter will be deemed the Entrant and must be a Qualified Person.

 

  1. Prizes and Approximate Retail Values: Three (3) prizes will be awarded, one to each of three (3) winners (each, a “Winner”).

 

(a) Grand Prize (one (1)). One (1) twin porthole cabin for two (2) persons, the Grand Prize Winner and one (1) travel companion of the Winner’s choosing (the “Travel Companion”), aboard the Cruise Operator’s Ocean Victory Antarctica expedition cruise departing February 23, 2027 from Ushuaia, Argentina (boarding February 24, 2027) and returning March 5, 2027 (the “Cruise”; those dates, the “Cruise Dates”). The Grand Prize consists of the cabin accommodation and the inclusions described at https://www.10xantarctica.com/trip-details, where exclusions are also listed. It does not include airfare or other transportation to and from the embarkation port, pre- or post-Cruise lodging, passport and visa fees, transfers, travel insurance, gratuities, optional excursions, expedition clothing or gear, beverages, medical costs, incidentals, or any other item not expressly listed, all of which are the sole responsibility of the Grand Prize Winner and the Travel Companion. Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”): $22,980. The Grand Prize is subject to Section 7.

 

(b) Second Prize (one (1)). One (1) 10xTravel award booking service engagement for up to two (2) travelers, as described at https://10xtravel.com/award-booking/, to be redeemed within twelve (12) months after award. Excludes the points, miles, taxes, fees, and surcharges associated with any booking. ARV: $275.

 

(c) Third Prize (one (1)). One (1) 10xTravel 1-on-1 consult, to be scheduled and completed within twelve (12) months after award. ARV: $199.

 

(d) Total Approximate Retail Value of All Prizes: $23,454. ARVs are Sponsor’s good-faith estimates; actual value may differ, and any difference between the stated ARV and actual value will not be awarded. Limit one (1) prize per person and per household. No cash equivalent, substitution, or transfer of a prize is permitted. All federal, state, and local taxes, and all expenses not expressly stated as included, are the sole responsibility of the Winner. Sponsor will issue an IRS Form 1099-MISC to the Grand Prize Winner, who must provide a completed IRS Form W-9 before the Grand Prize is awarded.

 

  1. Drawing and Odds: On or about December 7, 2026, and no earlier than fourteen (14) days after the Registration Period ends, Sponsor will conduct three (3) successive random drawings from all eligible entries, for the Grand Prize, the Second Prize, and the Third Prize in that order. Each entry is one (1) chance. A selected Entrant’s remaining entries are removed before the next drawing. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received; the number of entries an Entrant holds, not the method used to obtain them, determines that Entrant’s odds.

 

  1. Grand Prize Conditions:

 

(a) Fixed Cruise Dates. The Grand Prize is valid only for the Cruise on the Cruise Dates and cannot be rescheduled, extended, or exchanged for another sailing, cabin, or itinerary. If the Grand Prize Winner is unable or unwilling to travel on the Cruise Dates for any reason, the Grand Prize is forfeited in its entirety without compensation and may be awarded to an alternate winner.

 

 

(c) Travel Requirements; Itinerary Changes; Assumption of Risk. The Grand Prize Winner and the Travel Companion are each solely responsible, at their own expense, for a valid passport (valid at least six (6) months beyond the Cruise return date), any required visas, and transportation to and from the embarkation port, and must comply with the Cruise Operator’s passenger contract, health and medical requirements (including any medical questionnaire or physician’s clearance required for Antarctic travel), insurance requirements, and conduct policies, and return all documents the Cruise Operator requires by the Document Deadline. Failure to satisfy the Cruise Operator’s requirements may result in forfeiture, and Sponsor is not responsible for any person being denied boarding or travel. Antarctic itineraries are subject to change for weather, ice, and sea conditions and at the Cruise Operator’s discretion; no landing, route, or activity is guaranteed, and changes by the Cruise Operator do not entitle the Winner to any substitution or compensation. If the Cruise is canceled, materially shortened, or rescheduled by the Cruise Operator or by events beyond Sponsor’s control, Sponsor may pass through any remedy the Cruise Operator provides, and will have no further obligation. Travel to Antarctica involves inherent risks, including severe weather, rough seas, remote locations, and limited medical care; the Grand Prize Winner and the Travel Companion travel at their own risk and must sign a release to that effect as a condition of the Grand Prize.

 

  1. Winner Notification and Verification: Potential Winners will be notified by email to the address associated with their My10x account (and by telephone, if available) within three (3) business days after the drawing (the “Winner Notification”) and must respond and claim the prize, as directed, within seven (7) days after the Winner Notification is sent. Each potential Winner must then sign and return an Publicity Release (the “Affidavit”), with a copy of government-issued photo identification and proof of residency, within seven (7) days after it is sent; the potential Grand Prize Winner must also return a completed IRS Form W-9 and identify the Travel Companion, who must return all documents required under Section 7(b) within seven (7) days after it is sent. Sponsor will verify eligibility, including residency, before awarding any prize. Sponsor is not liable for a potential Winner’s failure to receive the Winner Notification because of spam or security settings or incorrect contact information. If a potential Winner cannot be contacted, is ineligible, fails to respond or to return any required document on time, declines the prize, or otherwise fails to comply with these Official Rules, the prize is forfeited and an alternate winner may be selected in a random drawing from the remaining eligible entries. Up to three (3) alternates may be selected per prize, time permitting; if no eligible Winner is confirmed after the alternates are exhausted, or if a Grand Prize alternate cannot be verified and ticketed before the Cruise Operator’s deadline, the prize will not be awarded. No compensation is given upon forfeiture.

 

  1. Publicity: Except where prohibited by law, acceptance of a prize constitutes the Winner’s (and the Travel Companion’s) consent to Sponsor’s use of their name, likeness, voice, city and state of residence, and statements about the Sweepstakes and the prize, in any media, for advertising, promotional, and trade purposes, without further notice, compensation, or approval.

 

  1. Release; Limitation of Liability: By participating, each Entrant (and, by accepting a prize, each Winner and the Travel Companion) releases, indemnifies, and holds harmless Sponsor and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, members, managers, employees, contractors, agents, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, liability, loss, damage, injury, illness, death, cost, or expense arising out of or relating to participation in the Sweepstakes or the acceptance, possession, use, or misuse of any prize, including travel to, from, or on the Cruise, and any claim based on publicity rights, defamation, or invasion of privacy. The Released Parties make no warranty, express or implied, regarding any prize, and the Cruise is provided solely under the Cruise Operator’s terms.

 

AS A CONDITION OF ENTERING, ENTRANT AGREES THAT: (I) ENTRANT WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO CLAIM PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, OTHER THAN ACTUAL OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES, AND ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE DAMAGES MULTIPLIED OR OTHERWISE INCREASED; (II) ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH THE SWEEPSTAKES OR ANY PRIZE SHALL BE RESOLVED INDIVIDUALLY, WITHOUT RESORT TO ANY FORM OF CLASS ACTION, BY BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A SINGLE NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR SELECTED BY SPONSOR IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION UNDER THE RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION; AND (III) ALL CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS, AND AWARDS SHALL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS AND SHALL NOT INCLUDE ATTORNEYS’ FEES. THESE OFFICIAL RULES ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF OHIO, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT-OF-LAWS PRINCIPLES.

 

  1. Sponsor’s Rights; Force Majeure: Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, suspend, modify, extend, or terminate the Sweepstakes, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, including without limitation if fraud, virus, bug, technical failure, unauthorized human intervention, or any other cause corrupts or impairs the administration, security, fairness, or proper conduct of the Sweepstakes, or if Sponsor is prevented from continuing the Sweepstakes or awarding any prize by any event beyond its reasonable control, including fire, flood, epidemic or pandemic, earthquake, labor dispute, act of God, riot, terrorism, war, severe weather or sea or ice conditions, cancellation or material alteration of the Cruise by the Cruise Operator, failure of any supplier, or any law, regulation, or governmental or court order. If the Sweepstakes is terminated before the end of the Registration Period, Sponsor will, if practicable, select the Winners in random drawings from all eligible entries received before termination, and inclusion in those drawings is each Entrant’s sole and exclusive remedy. Only the prizes described in these Official Rules (or remedies passed through under Section 7(c)) will be awarded.

 

Sponsor further reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual and void all of that individual’s entries if Sponsor determines that the individual (a) is tampering with the entry process, My10x, or the operation of the Sweepstakes; (b) is acting in violation of these Official Rules; (c) has misrepresented their eligibility, identity, or residency; (d) has used bots, scripts, multiple accounts, or other automated or fraudulent means to obtain entries or complete any action; or (e) is attempting to undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes by cheating, hacking, or deception, or is acting with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any other person. Any attempt to deliberately damage or undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may violate criminal and civil law, and Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages and other remedies (including attorneys’ fees) from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any provision of these Official Rules is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.

 

  1. Social Media Platforms: The Sweepstakes is in no way sponsored, endorsed, or administered by, or associated with, Meta Platforms, Inc., Facebook, YouTube, Google LLC, or any other platform on which it is or may be promoted, and each Entrant completely releases each such platform from any and all liability in connection with the Sweepstakes. Questions about the Sweepstakes must be directed to Sponsor and not to any platform.
