While the miles were the reason that I signed up for the card, for a limited time I can also earn entries for a chance to win a trip to the 2016 Rio Olympics.

It’s been a while since I’ve last ran a giveaway so now’s the time for the next one.

We flew roundtrip to Abu Dhabi thanks to a fare sale (mistake airfare) on Etihad. While we flew in coach, I did acquire a Business Class Amenity Kit or 2…. Continue reading Win an Etihad Business Class Amenity Kit

Earlier in the week I wrote that I won another Lufthansa First Class Lounge duck in a Twitter contest.

I’d been looking forward to seeing which duck I won this time and just hoped that I wasn’t sent the same duck that I had won back in October 2014.

My package arrived a few days back. I found it funny how one of the forms on the box had listed that a rubber duck was inside! Continue reading My Lufthansa First Class Lounge Prize Arrives (Quack Quack)
