Sunday, June 28: Congrats to Jeff M., who won the random drawing! (And I hope you make that trip to Vienna! 🙂 ) And thanks to everyone who entered!
This week marks my first year as Rene’s Points for Better Travel’s owner. And editor. And lead writer. And social network guy. And business manager. And customer service rep. And …
To celebrate — and say thank you — I wanted to do a fun SWAG Saturday.
So one lucky winner will receive:
- $10 Amazon gift certificate
- Contactless door opener and button-pusher thingamy (similar to this)
- Delta One amenity kit by Tumi
About the Prizes
We’ve received comments in the past along the lines of anyone who flies already has your stupid prizes anyway!
Sure, many people do have Delta One amenity kits.
But not everyone has been so lucky as to fly upfront. Others would like to regift an amenity kit to someone else. Or donate it to a shelter.
So if the prizes aren’t up to your standard, please abstain from entering. Let someone else enjoy them.
(Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.)
How to Enter
Easy! In the Comments section below, just tell me which destination you can’t wait to visit when this COVID-19 garbage is over.
Destinations must be actual, physical locations on Earth.
Heck, why limit it to just one? If you want to visit, say, Rome and Sydney, tell us! You’ll increase your chances of winning if you enter each destination as a separate comment. So feel free to enter as many times as you wish.
Please keep your comments on-subject. Also, I’m in the Pacific Time Zone and spending some time with my family this weekend. So please don’t worry if your comment isn’t instantly moderated! 🙂
I’ll select a winner via Random.org at 8:00 PM Eastern tomorrow, Sunday, June 28. The winner will be notified by email and also announce it on the blog.
