As of September 2nd 2016, Frequent Miler is now 5 years old! Tomorrow I’ll publish a retrospective, but today, to celebrate this blog’s 5 Year Blogiversary (Google seems to think that’s a word) I’m giving away lots of free stuff!
UPDATE: All contests listed in this post are now closed to new entrants
2 Nights Almost Anywhere
I have a Club Carlson free night certificate that expires October 31 of this year, and I’m willing to throw in points for a second night. If you know of a Club Carlson hotel (Radisson Blu, Park Plaza, Quorvus Collection, Country Inns & Suites, etc.) that you’d like to stay at for two nights by October 31st, then try your hand at this contest.
To enter the 2 Nights Almost Anywhere contest:
- Go to ClubCarlson.com and plug in your desired location and dates (up to October 31st) to see if award nights are available. You can pick any Club Carlson property in the world except for Radisson Blu Edwardian hotels in London.
- Write in the comments below where you want to go and why. Also add the number of points it would cost per night if booked as a points award.
- Include the following at the end of your comment: #2NightsAlmostAnywhere
- Each person may enter the 2 Nights Almost Anywhere contest only once (but feel free to enter multiple contests within one comment)
I will pick a worthy comment as the “winner” based on my own subjective judgment. Creativity, humor, and brevity are encouraged, but I am not looking for flattery (I promise you, that won’t help). Everyone is eligible to participate. I’ll notify the winner via email.
This contest will remain open until Wednesday September 7th at 10pm ET.

Parents are visiting and would be sweet if they had #2NightsAlmostAnywhere #AnywhereNotMyHouse since my place is tiny and I have 2 roommates!
Country inn by Dulles airport would be great if possible.
Would like to “help” my future in-laws like me more by arranging a surprise staycation at the Radisson Blu Shanghai New World. Any weekend in October works, currently Oct 7-9 look free.

Looking forward to the next BIG 10th Year Blogiversary Giveaway!

I’m a skating addict and want to go to Skate America in Hoffman Estates in October (21-23). Last time I went, I won tickets to Nationals! Also, never been to Chicago and would love to see it—this is a perfect excuse to skate on over that way (do bad puns count as jokes? As a comedy writer, I say they totally should).
Country Inn & Suites Schaumburg, 28,000 points per night

Im about to start my 3rd year churning, so it’s cool to see that someone so influential started so recently. Here’s to 5 more years!

Radisson Blu Hotel Chennai City Centre, Chennai (formerly Madras), South India – requires 15,000 points per night. My father is admitted at a hospital not too far from this hotel’s location. I could use it to when I visit him. We’ve stayed at this hotel once, and had good experience.
Congrats on 5 years, Greg! Here’s to 5 more and thanks for all the help.

Ooooh, I love a good surprise! #Surprise
Congrats on 5 great years! Hope you have many, many more ahead of you.
My boyfriend just booked a flight to Melbourne, FL at the end of this month to see his grandson for the very first time. Due to some health issues (all resolved now), he hasn’t been able to meet his grandson yet, so he’s going down to celebrate the baby’s first birthday. Staying at the Radisson Resort at the Port (38,000 points per night) would put him really close to the family. #2NightsAlmostAnywhere.
Now that I’ve got 2 young kids, I need to work out more (not just run after them)! #FitbitZip
See my previous comment 🙂 #Nike75
Who doesn’t love surprises? Maybe you can surprise me with a Sapphire Reserve too 🙂
