Local Getaways Foodie Friday Check-In Challenges

Rules, Prizes, and FAQ's

Welcome to Foodie Friday Check-In-Challenges hosted by 270 Media, LLC, publisher of Local Getaways.

To participate, you will need to create an account inside of the Local Getaways App. You will provide your email address, and possibly your first and last name if you log in with a 3rd party like Google, Apple, or Facebook.

You will be subscribed to our email newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time and still be eligible to win. Your subscription status has no effect on your chances of winning.

The name you provide on your Profile page will appear on the leaderboard.

Participants in the Check-In Challenges that take place each month (from the 1st day to the last day of each month) are entered to win a $100 gift card.

In the spirit of giving back, during November's Noodle Check-In Challenge, Local Getaways will make a one dollar donation to longtime partner, SF-Marin Food Bank every time someone checks in for noodles at one of the selected restaurants, and if your favorite spot is not on the list, add it, and you’ll still get a point and the SF-Marin gets a dollar. 
How do I play?

Access the Check-In Challenge from the home screen of the Local Getaways mobile app. When you view the list of participating locations, pick one and then click the Check-In button to check in at the location. The app uses geolocation to verify your check in. You will need to be at the location for the Check-In to be successful.

What do I get?

How do I become eligible to enter to win the prize?
