In late 2014 I wrote about how Southwest airline seats were recycled for a good cause. The airline donated the leather from some of their old airplane seats which in turn were made into soccer balls and other items.

Win $500 + 4 Round-Trip Tickets from Megabus

Contest, Sweepstakes

Megabus Promo

In the past Kim and I have found Megabus and other similar bus companies to be a good option to get to places just a few hours away. One time we even took a really long overnight ride from NYC to Toronto.

From time to time Megabus offers free tickets where all you have to pay is a .50¢ service fee. Check out a review of the last time I took Megabus back in 2013.

Megabus is currently running a contest (which ends in just a few days) where one lucky winner will win four roundtrip tickets and $500 cash! Continue reading Win $500 + 4 Round-Trip Tickets from Megabus →

Win A Flight For 2 to Sweden

Visit Sweden

 Visit Sweden is giving you the chance to win a flight for two to… Sweden.

According to the sweepstakes page, “Gothenburg is the hometown of Volvo and the Volvo factory“. I assumed a factory tour would be included in the prize but didn’t see it mentioned in the terms.

If you don’t win the prize, you could always buy a car and get a free trip to Sweden…
