Tuesday

Because of such a strong response to the last contest I posted, here’s another good opportunity. I got this email earlier. Depending how many (or how few) people take part, this could be decent odds to win some very valuable miles…

“Mr Walia,
Hope all is well and summer wrapped up nicely? I’ve just returned from an exciting trip to Singapore as we launch several APAC partnerships.  Everyone raves about the chili crab, but I was more enamored w/ the salt and pepper variety.  Writing today because we’ve just launched an innovative social media campaign with Singapore Airlines that could be of interest to your readers.
Please check out the campaign here. Pick your favorite Vine video and share with your friends. Entrants can win 100,000 KrisFlyer miles and redeem for a dream trip on Singapore Airlines. A nice way to accelerate toward the next business class trip to APAC! Thanks in advance for any coverage.”

Labor Deals

  • $50 in free rides from Gett. You’ve heard my Uber gushing, but this is a strong competing bonus. With their $10 Manhattan rides, it’s a pretty generous 5 free rides for you New Yorkers.
  • Thanks to Dan for sending me a nerded out version of this targeted offer. It won’t work for everyone, but you might be able to pick up elite status with American easier. Way, way easier.
  • Double thanks to reader Dan for sending a new working link for a Delta 50,000-mile card. This offer comes and goes often. If it doesn’t work for you, try an incognito browser.

Thursday Triple

  • 25 very, very easy Hertz points. Definitely worth the 10 seconds just to extend your expiration date.
  • Good email from reader James here:
    “Hmm, seems like you can buy Alaska miles if booking awards for a penny each. Haven’t seen this covered yet, but was searching Alaska to buy a gift cert to use my Amex offer of $75 on $300 purchase. Looked at 3 round trip awards for the family.  The total came to 60,000 miles plus $33, but it gave me an offer of 30,000 miles plus $333.  Now if only I really wanted to use my AS miles and not Avios for that award ;)”
  • Take a look at that contest from yesterday’s post. It’s an explosion of winners…got a few more emails from people getting prizes!

A Contest You Guys Keep Winning

I’ve pretty much stopped posting contests here, but this one is exceptional. Not the contest itself…the fact that 7 different readers have let me know they’ve won something this week.

If a contest is worth playing, this might be the one. Starwood’s Open The World. Let me know if you’re a winner too!
