And The Winner Of 2 United Club Passes Is…

Contest, Giveaway

Screen Shot 2013-09-16 at 11.22.58 PMAfter coming across a couple of United Club passes that I had no use for, I decided to run a giveaway with entry being open for one day.

The giveaway was only open for one day because I need to pick a winner and mail the passes out ASAP. Why? We’re heading to Germany tonight and I need to get the passes in the mail before we go away since there isn’t much time left to use them.

To enter my giveaway all you had to do was leave a  comment about where you will be flying with United in the upcoming weeks. 

I wasn’t sure if there would be much interest in the passes since they are expiring so soon but there was a very solid response of 33 comments/ entries.

I’ll be running a one day giveaway and will select a winner through Random.org later in the evening. I’ll contact the winner right after so I can get the passes in the mail before leaving for our trip to Germany (which I mentioned here) tomorrow.

Giveaway: Win A Delta 10% Off Flight Cert & T4 Opening Goodies

Contest, Giveaway
a red case and cards on a green surface

Back in May I got to attend a bunch of fun and exciting events in New York City related to the opening of Delta’s new Terminal 4 (T4).

I attended T4X and the Closing concert for T4X featuring Ed Sheeran in SoHo, NYC and the opening of the brand new Terminal 4 at JFK Airport. During the opening I got to meet Richard Branson and do what I believe is a first on the Sky Deck. I also ate at one of my favorite burger chains, Shake Shack and got to meet it’s founder Danny Meyer. Check out my review of the T4 Shake Shack here.

At the events, various Delta goodies were given out and I’d like to give a few things away in a contest.

In late May I gave away one 10% Off Flight Certificate and Drink Voucher. This time around I have another 10% Off Voucher and a few other things to give away.

One lucky reader will win:Invalid request error occurred. Continue reading Giveaway: Win A Delta 10% Off Flight Cert & T4 Opening Goodies →

Citi & American Airlines were kind enough to send me a pair of lounge passes as part of the offer for opening an AA credit card earlier in the year. 

 I currently have no use for the passes since we are flying business class to Japan and first  class home. When you fly a premium class, lounge access is usually included. I also have an American Express Platinum card which allows me to visit AA Admirals Clubs when flying on the airline.

 Since these passes won’t do me any good, I’ll be giving them away!
One lucky winner will receive:

  • Two (2)- American Airlines Admirals Club lounge passes 
a card on a green surface

Rules for each Admirals Club pass:

  • Pass is valid- one day for one person
  • Valid only at AA Admirals Club lounges
  • Pass holder must be at least 18 years of age
  • Expires December 31, 2013
Giveaway ends July 4 at 12:00 AM
Prize will only be mailed to U.S. addresses
