Good morning and welcome back to the Mega Giveaway! Today is Day 2 of this Mega Giveaway to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the blog. Thanks to all those who entered in yesterday’s giveaway – I will e-mail the winners later today.
This Giveaway is now closed! Winners will be e-mailed later today but check back later today for another Giveaway!
New Giveaway Prizes – Including AA Upgrade!
In case you didn’t notice, the prizes have kicked up a notch today! In addition to the items we had yesterday, I am also adding in a valuable American Airlines upgrade certificate. This can be used to upgrade from any paid class of travel (wherever AA flies!) to the next class (based on availability). This is good through for travel through the end of February but still a lot of use left in it!
Also, I am adding a Garmin GPS watch. I am a huge Garmin fan and have used several watches over the years. Today’s is the Garmin 910XT that I used to have myself (not this same watch!). So, check out the rules and start having fun with today’s giveaway!

Here are the Giveaway Items!
Here is what is on the giveaway block for today:
- American Airlines’ Upgrade Certificate
- Garmin 910XT watch
- Amazon Kindle Fire 7″
- Amazon Kindle Reader
- Garmin Vivosmart Activity Tracker + HR
- Anker Ultra-Compact Portable Charger
- SPIbelt (check out the belts on this page – the winner will get to select his/her choice)
I personally have an Amazon Kindle and use it every single day! I would not think of going on a trip (or almost anywhere) without it. Yes, I have an iPhone but reading on an ereader is a great experience. The Fire tablets can also be used for reading and playing content as well as downloading apps for your enjoyment.
If you want to try and be more fit in this coming year, then the Garmin Vivosmart Activity Tracker is perfect for you! I love Garmin devices and I think you really enjoy this one. Also, the Garmin 910XT is an incredible GPS watch! The battery lasts a long time and it is perfect for more than just running – including swimming!
One of my favorite pieces of gear is the SPIbelt – a perfect way to carry anything you need on a run and to load up for a trip (great for getting through security quickly instead of emptying your pockets). The winner of this item will get to choose his/her choice from this page here.
And, finally, I have and use an Anker charging device and they can be a real help, plus they are very tiny. 🙂

Thank you for the giveaway!
What’s most helpful to me is a of break down / compare different options (this card vs that one; this loyalty program vs that one, taking advantage of a promo/deal/loophole one way vs another, etc.). Hope to see more of that! Love the blog and appreciate your great content!
Congratulations on your anniversary! It is an awesome milestone. Keep up the great work. Have a great 2017.

Hello, thanks for the giveaway.
Would love to see more of your adventures and know-hows. I will reach AA EP by 4/17 and working on SW A List. So whatever you do, it will be great.
I love seeing trip reports that focus both on how to book but also what was done on the trip for fun
Hm. I’d love to see some articles (no doubt some are already out there) on the viability and pros/cons of switching loyalty (status match not available, status challenge–weigh the cost and how long you’ll be “without” status, etc.)
Got my eyes on that upgrade certificate!!!
Since you are geared toward the runner. Please include more deals for runners like the race discount today or trip reports for great places to run.
I would love to see more Trip Reports, along with brief descriptions of the marathon course and best accommodations for runners. Thanks and great job Charlie!
Would love to see even more trip reports/ destination runs..
Hi Charlie,
Ever since I’ve started reading your blog, I really enjoy the material you write on travel gear sales and your reviews on them (although it’s been pretty heavy on the wallet). The combination of credit card offers to get the best possibly prices on these items is what I would like to see more of going forward in 2017. Thanks again for a great blog and helpful information.
Great site and great info
More trip reports, please.
Thanks for hosting!!!
more giveaways!
Always enjoy reading about travel information, especially money savings or great deals to consider.
Congratulations on your five year anniversary…wow, I can’t believe it! Thanks for making it possible for me to travel so cheaply over the years!
I would like to see a value analysis of striving for airline status in the current environment. Should, for example, the emphasis be placed on accumulating flexible points vs. airline miles and just buy the seat(s) one wants versus hoping for an upgrade (even if Executive Platinum) because AA is selling empty seats to non-elites before awarding them to loyalists?
Would like to see miles/points sweet spots award bookings.
Definitely more trip reports. Thank you!
I’d like to see more “mileage run” articles w/ super high point to cost ratios (i.e. tons of points for very low cost) for non-elite members departing from various locations.
As long as you keep the credit card comparisons and latest understandable news on new points earning opportunities, I’m happy!
Congrats!
Love trip reports…. and giveaways!
Congratulations! I like reading about others success stories.
