Since Very Few People Read this Blog on Saturday Evening…

Since tonight it’s just the two of us, I thought I’d give away money.

I’ve got a $100 gift card, and will select a winner at random tomorrow out of those who comment by Noon Eastern on Sunday.

In case you’re looking for something amusing to occupy yourself between Saturday evening and Sunday morning, there is no limit to the number of times you may enter. You can comment as many times you wish, each comment is an entry.

Just chat away, share whatever thoughts you wish. All decisions and rulings made by me are final and unappeallable. By entering you waive any right to sue for or otherwise claim damages. Please don’t give me a hard time when I am trying to give away money or its equivalent. Thank you!

  1. OK,more than 1000 postings on a Saturday night. This should be more than you expected.

    I keep finding more unpublished rewards for my Amex Platinum Card. I charged a cruise on Oceania for me and my wife, and received an extra $300 shipboard credit, plus a complementary wine tasting and bottle of wine, all complements of Amex.

  2. Question. Is it worth it to use my 250k AA points to fly bus class to Tahiti or for the same pointsI could go to Australia, right? What do you think?

  3. It’s like a party on here. I’m going to go get everyone some drinks and hors d’oeuvres. I’ll be right back.

  4. To Alycia: If on the South Island, try Brydan on Rose in Blenheim — great owner and good location in the middle of Marlborough wine country. If in Wellington on the North Island, try the Novotel.

  5. $100 Giftcard from where? (See, you have a lot of people reading your site on Saturday night !!). Thanks.

  6. I have been saving and saving points to fly AA business class to Paris (I’m a French teacher). Looks like I’ll finally get to do it.

  7. Next year we will go to Hawaii. The big island with all the kids. It will be so much fun.

  8. Alycia: No question — Air New Zealand. And don’t miss Napier — after a 1930 earthquake leveled the town, it was rebuilt in Art Deco style. It’s simply beautiful.

  9. I just got the Alaska card. Woohoo. No min spend. And a $99 companion ticket. Hawaii here i come.

  10. Thanks, too, for all the advice on how to get the credit cards I needed to get those AA points. I would never have even known about the Aadvantage Executive card.

  11. Just got upgraded last week to a two-room suite with the much maligned IHG Platinum status.

  12. I suspect Gary’s advertisers (or some other ‘blog traffic metric’) measures “average comments per post” or something. So he can pay a hundred bucks to drive his revenue in some other regard.

  13. I’m getting ready to do the Hyatt Diamond Challenge. Breakfast in Paris is expensive.

  14. after getting serious with points/miles game last august, we completed 5 trips and have scheduled 2 more. All international.

  15. My wife and I both just got the US Airways card for the second time. Can’t wait for them to turn into AA miles.

  16. What do you think about the Wells Fargo Propell card? It looks a lot like the Barclays Arrival card to me. I’m thinking of pulling the trigger.

  17. Do most of you travel for business? Just wondering how you can do so many international business class tickets!

  18. Agreed with MT, I caught this during Sunday morning coffee. That being said, it looks like you still get a fair number of readers is the comments are any indication!

  19. I’m here with you Gary! Heading to Malaysia soon, getting super inspired by your latest trip.
