I love entering and sharing ways to win trips through various travel contests and sweepstakes.

While I’ve never come up big in any of these contests, I have won free hotel nights, points, miles and other prizes.

Here are some prizes I’ve won:

• 1,000 Marriott Points from a Facebook sweepstakes.
• Free Night at Radisson which I used at the Radisson Blu Mall of America.
• DoubleTree Sweet Dreams Pillow
• 10,000 Gold Points in Club Carlson’s #HashtagHotel
• $500 Expedia Voucher for participating in the #ExpediaChat on Twitter.
• Delta Sky Club One Day Pass in the #TravelSkills Chat
• Lufthansa First Class Duck through a Twitter contest
• Other prizes that I can’t recall at the moment…
