How to enter
- Complete the public online entry form for the standard route.

- If selected, return the affidavit and tax form within five days and provide or create an Atmos Rewards number.
Key requirements
- Be a resident of the 50 U.S. states or D.C. aged 18 or older, or 19 or older in Alabama and Nebraska.
- Enter through the official web form or an eligible San Diego Zoo app instruction in a Skyfari loading area.
- Stay within the limit of three total entries during the full campaign.
Important details to review
- One winner is selected for each calendar month from May through December 2026.
- Entries are cumulative, so an eligible non-winning entry can remain in later monthly pools.
- The points have no cash value and travel redemptions depend on Alaska Airlines award availability and mileage requirements.
The online route does not require a zoo visit
The standard web form is available to eligible U.S. residents and does not require a ticket purchase or presence at the zoo. It creates one entry when completed accurately.
Visitors can also receive up to two additional opportunities through app push notifications while physically in the Skyfari loading areas. No mail-in method is offered.
Three entries cover the entire campaign
The cap is three total entries per person from May through December, not three per month. Submitting more does not expand the selection pool and excess entries are removed.
Because entries are cumulative, an eligible entry that does not win in June can remain available for July and later drawings. This differs from monthly campaigns that discard non-winners after each period.
Each monthly prize is an airline-points award
One winner per month receives 50,000 Atmos Rewards points, with a stated approximate value of $500. The total campaign inventory is eight prizes.
A confirmed winner must have or obtain an Atmos Rewards number. The points are not cash and their practical travel value depends on destination, dates, availability and Alaska Airlines redemption requirements.
Claim documents are due within five days
Monthly selections occur within ten business days after each calendar month. Notification is sent by email, and a potential winner must return an affidavit, release and IRS W-9 within five days.
Only one winner per household is allowed for the campaign. Unclaimed or non-compliant prizes may move to an alternate entrant.
