Lufthansa Giveaway

Thanks to reader Jason, here’s the latest giveaway…

He’s got 50,000 Lufthansa miles expiring at the end of the year and has no plans to burn them. What better use is there than passing the miles on to one of you? Thanks again for your generosity, Jason.

As usual, please email the contest address below to enter. But this one is significantly trickier. In order to save my time (and Jason’s), make sure you actually have a 2017 use for these miles before you reach out. Neither one of us wants to go through a damn-I-thought-I could-have-used-those-but-I-can’t experience. Blank emails are fine but please put “Lufthansa” as the subject. I’ll randomly select one winner on Sunday night. Thanks!

 

Southwest Stuff

Are you somehow still able to get approved for Chase cards?

Are you a fan of awkward (but mysteriously efficient) boarding?

If so, the Southwest cards are all back up to 60,000 points.

And, wow, in a crazy turn of events…there’s a Southwest sale happening!

 

Washington Miles

Whether you’re a football fan or not, you’ll be getting some free miles from Delta when the Seahawks do well this season. It’s an easy signup, but should only work for people in Washington state.

InterContinental Ambassador

Reader Sharon let me know about this IHG option being available for 32,000 points now. It can also be had for $200 if you want to keep the points. What can you get for this?

  • Room upgrade guaranteed during stays.
  • 4:00 checkout guaranteed at the end of stays.
  • One free weekend night certificate  on a paid weekend stay.
  • Other stuff (fruit, water, and free movie each stay, etc)

Is this worth doing?

I’d consider it if I stayed at IHG properties more. My once or twice a year isn’t enough. The weekend certificate is what got my attention more than anything else. If you’re an IHG person, it’s probably worth a closer look. Personally, I’m passing. Have a great weekend, nerds!

5 Buck Rentals To Florida

It’s that time of year for us to see these deals. Definitely won’t be for everyone, but one-way car rentals are rarely cheap. This is a great price if you’re going to Florida and any of the pickup locations/dates work for you. Hard to beat $4.99 a day for a car from Hertz.
