Grand Prize ARV/1099 is $6,250.

So a tax bill of around 1-3k depending on residence and income?

Yup, though for a high income person from CA/NY it can be even higher than that.

Which is why if you win you don't accept the grand prize, though the small prizes are still worth something.

Would still be worthwhile, just not quite as grand.

Assuming the person would redeem it for an actual stay.

Why not accept the prize? Should I not accept my salary from my employer because I will need to pay taxes?

Even if you sell the points, you will bring home a net of at least $3K.

more like 2k, and IMO not worth the hassle to sell.
