I haven’t done too many “giveaways” here, mainly because it never occurred to me. Plus I don’t actually have a ton to give away. But the little AwardWallet code and Hyatt upgrade giveaways went over really well. I also liked the feeling.

If you ever have mile/point/travel related items you don’t need, please let me know and I’ll happily share the wealth with other nerds. Thanks and Merry Nerdmas!

But “experiences” can be another story. From time to time, it’s a good idea to check in with Starwood, United, and even Delta. At the moment, here’s some offers that stand out to me:
