Intro
This is a guide for the various Promotions and Quests on Gaia where you can earn free items by doing a simple task. Each entry has a link to the Promotion's original Announcement, as well as a link to the Prize's description/preview on Gaia's Marketplace.
This is *NOT* a begging / "I'm questing for an item" thread. Please take that type of "Questing" to the Charity and Quest Subforum. 3nodding
This is also *NOT* a thread covering ZOMG Quests. Please refer to a guide in the ZOMG! Forum for assistance with that.

FAQs About Quests and Promotions
Q: What is a Quest/Promotion?
A: It is when a Sponsor works along with Gaia to promote a product, and Gaians can do an activity related to the product to earn items.
Q: Where can I find new Quests/Promotions?
A: They appear in Announcements whenever there is a new one.
Q: Why won't the Quest grant my item?
A: The first thing to do is retrace your steps: Did you follow all the directions correctly and fully? Did you speak to the correct NPC at the correct location? If nothing else works, try restarting the Quest from the beginning.
Q: I got interrupted in the middle of a Quest and now I can't get back into it. What do I do?
A: You can go to My Gaia -> Quests -> Active and choose Site Quests from the drop-down menu, then click the Go Button. Then, click on the Go To NPC link to go back to where you left off.
Q: I have Active Quests that I can not complete due to the Quest being disabled. How do I delete a deactivated Quest?
A: There is no way to get rid of it, that I know of. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)
Q: Why isn't Towns, Cinemas, or [other special environments/worlds] loading?
A: If it's the first day of a Quest/Promotion, everyone is trying to use the same feature at the same time. Usually, if you just wait it out, the feature will load.
Q: What do the different Quest/Promotion-related Errors mean?
A: 1. One kind of Error will tell you that the Quest has been deactivated. That means nobody can do the Quest anymore.
2. Another kind of Error will tell you that you've already earned the max number of items allowed. That means you've done the Quest as many times as is allowed - 3 times is usually the limit, but if a Promotion is re-Announced, sometimes it will allow you to do more.
Q: Why don't the Quests/Promotions stay available longer/forever?
A: Often, the Promotions come out right before a certain date (the date of a movie premiere, for example), so to Promote the item long after the movie has been released would be kind of silly. (I'm sure there are also contracts/legal reasons behind this, too.)
Q: I think the item(s) given out aren't very good/I have a suggestion on what kind of items I'd like to see on the next promotion. What can I do?
A: The sponsors have a big say in what the item is for a particular promotion. You can always submit item suggestions (for future items, or for feedback on existing items) in the Site Feedback forum.
