‘The Price Is Right’ Winners Spill Details About Trips They Won on Show
Have you ever wondered how the trips that The Price is Right contestants won went? Well, now you have answers. Reddit users answered questions about their trips, including if they enjoyed them and when they have to take them.
“Trip Winners. Has anyone ever won a trip, went and enjoyed it?” a Reddit user asked.
“My wife won a trip to San Juan and 10-day rail trip through Canada,” one user said. They posted a photo of them on a beach holding a sign that said The Price is Right. “San Juan was amazing! We take the Canadian trip this September.” Another fan said they heard the Canadian rail trip is “exceptional.”
“I won a trip to San Francisco, which was lovely, but considering I’m from Southern California and have been to SF several times, it wasn’t as exciting as the trip I didn’t win to Montenegro, lol,” said another user. “Tip: The trips are extremely overpriced/overvalued. So if you’re on the show, estimate the cost as if the most expensive travel agent in the world was booking it for you.” They went on to say that the contestants are allowed to pick three dates, and if the top date is available, it is set for that day.
Other contestants said that Sydney, Australia, and Argentina were very fun.
One game show contestant who won a trip to Cabo said that they have to wait until their episode airs to go on the trip. Another Mexico trip winner said, “My partner won an all-inclusive trip to Mexico, and it was a lot of fun. The resort upgraded our room to a swim-out suite. We had private transport from the airport (a giant Escalade instead of a bus or van full of other people), so we’re now spoiled.”
A Reddit user wondered if there were any blackout dates and if they have to wait a year. “Yes, a year from the date the show airs, if I remember correctly. You submit your top 3 dates of travel, and if there is availability, you’re confirmed,” a contestant said.

Just remember this: whether the trip ends up being fun or not, if you don't win any spending money for the trip...YOU COULD GO INTO DEBT!!! (5 Days in Europe, etc...)

And the trips are always in Coach. Wonder if you can upgrade? Can't imagine a trip to Australia or South Africa in Coach!

Not on a tv show but I did on the radio. Live in NJ & won a trip to Hawaii. They flew us to LA for 2 days to stay in Marina del Rey. Then to Oahu for a week on Waikiki with a rental car included. Couldn’t have asked for a better trip!!

1968 on a show few will know, 'Eye Guess" with Bill Cullen I won a plane ticket for two to Madrid, no accomodations or other transportation or meals nothing but plane fare for two. But full disclosure, I also won a 1968 Pontiac Le Mans, a week in Vermont mountains, a freezer, a rattan bar, luggage and few smaller value prizes. We paid taxes on the total value, approximately $11,000. I don't know what the inflation value would bring it to in today's dollar amount. But in '68 we were excited.

My cousins won everything on price is right, new kitchen, new car, cameras the $1.00 spin and a trip to New Mexico. The hotel in New Mexico was a motel six at best and they left early but, everything else was top notch.

I wonder in this day and age why they wouldn’t capitalize on the reality boom and record a reality show of the trips the contestants win. In return, they get to take the trip earlier and it’ll prob be guaranteed to be top notch. Decline and you have to wait. I’d prob watch

How long does it take for The price is right staff to contact you after winning a trip? Show has already aired and forms emailed.

I won and our trip was the same weekend that the show aired on tv. Had to get family to record it.

Whenever they give away a trip, the announcer always says you will fly from Los Angeles to wherever the trip is. You should have not have to fly from LA if you don't live in LA. I think that is to estimate the cost of flying.

It's also to imply they are jetting you off that night (as part of the TV illusion thing) just as they shoot a bunch of eps a day but they do not break that reality (so the ep that airs today might've been shot 5 weeks ago)

The trip is priced from LA. I have a friend that was in the show that won his showcase (3trips). They work with you so you can fly from your closest airport.

Nope, they do not allow a cash equivalent. I think other game show might but not this one.
