I'm certainly no rich biscuit, but I got a mortgage, a car loan, and a few credit cards with large-ish limits that have allowed me to build up a pretty decent credit history. Perfect for someone who wants to steal my info and rack up tons of charges.
Maybe I can trade in the prize for a job........

Just a couple of tips for those as concerned about identity theft as I am. (Not that I'm really concerned about this promotion - I'm talking to YOU Scion... I know where you live!) 
If you're so concerned about your identity/credit, you should -
1) You should have some kind of credit monitoring system in place so you can keep track if anyone even looks at your credit funny.
2) Set up a "Fraud Alert" with the Big 3 reporting agencies. It's a free service where they call you at a number that you specify if anyone attempts to open any account under your name and SS#.
Hope this helps ease some of the skittishness.

Per the ADA your 'companion' must be included (usually at reduced or no cost, etc.) if required by your needs.
I suspect you need to contact the contest company directly with that so they can make necessary arrangements for flights and accessible accomodations...
