Frequent Miler's latest team challenge, Million Mile Madness, is almost done! The last two weeks Greg, Nick, and Stephen competed to earn 1 Million SAS miles by flying 15 airlines. But who completed the challenge with the most Speed, Affordability, and Style?
You say toh-MAY-toh, I say tah-MAH-toh — whether you spell it doughnut or donut, today is the sweet ringed-treat’s National Day, and as such, locations around the country are giving away free sweetness today.
The Deal
- National Doughnut Day — many chains offering a free doughnut today (with varying rules as to how to get it
Quick Thoughts and List of Offers
Free is a nice price, and there are a lot of chains offering a free doughnut today. Many chains stipulate that the promotion is valid at participating locations only (and some are only giving free doughnuts until noon). However, I did call Dunkin Donuts and wait on hold to find out whether or not the location at my local airport is participating (hey, I’ve got to fly out this afternoon). The rep at Dunkin Donuts told me that all locations nationwide should be participating. I specifically asked about airport locations and acknowledged that airport locations do operate a bit differently, but that she thought they should all be participating in this one. I’ll tweet out a pic if I’m successful this afternoon :-).
Here is a list of brands and promotions taken from thrillist.com. Enjoy!
