Travel Tuesday Giveaway – Enter now to win a $100 gift card

Posted By: First2Board November 20, 2012

With the holiday seasons upon us, I don’t know anyone who couldn’t use a $100 gift card. Everyone is running around, shopping, visiting family and getting ready to celebrate the season. Enter now to win a $100 gift card of your choice. The winner can choose from: a $100 Hilton Gift Card from Amex, a $100 Marriott Gift Card or a $100 Visa Gift Card (no, it’s not Vanilla.)

To enter all you have to do is leave a comment telling me how you started reading my blog. Did you see a tweet? Did you find it on another blog (if so, which one)? Did you see it on Facebook? It’s that simple! Just tell me how you found me.

Rules:

Leave 1 comment telling me how you started reading my blog
You must use your real first name and the first initial of your last name (example Stacey S) when you comment
The deadline to enter is Wednesday, November 21 at 5pm ET
The winner will be selected at random

Good luck!

Stacey

This is one of the first blogs I ever got hooked on. I’ve only be scanning flyer talk and milepoint within the past, i don’t know, 3 month. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to see your blog, what drew me to it was your giving away a million points! I didn’t win but what the hay, it’s still fun to talk and tweet about my daughter’s stuffed toys. I think the generosity and the willing to share attitude of your blog keep me coming back. Thanks for looking out for all of your readers!

I found your blog while wandering about Boarding Area. I like that you don’t harp on credit card deals, care about the environment, and have a good sense of humor with your blog. So I’ve kept reading!
