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.

- 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.

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 🙂

Me and my husband will have 1 day in Madrid in our trip. A free night at the Radisson blu Madrid Prado (70,000 pts) will be a nice surprise for him (though if he’s reading this then the surprise is ruined) #2NightsAlmostAnywhere
My old FitBit is busted, a new #FitbitZip will do wonders
A #Nike75 voucher means I’m that much closer to a pair of brand new running shoes
A #Surprise gift is always welcome (especially if it’s the good kind)
I’m trying to cut down on my Accor stays, now that their program is kind of meh. Staying at the Radisson Blu Madrid Prado (70k points) for my upcoming trip would give me a taste of the Radisson #2NightsAlmostAnywhere
Since I might be doing a lot of walking, a #FitbitZip will surely be useful
As is also a new pair of Nike walking shoes #Nike75
I wouldn’t say no to a #Surprise gift, especially if it’s the doggie in the picture.
I’m going on a road trip with my best pup and am looking to stay at the Country Inn & Suites By Carlson, Orlando Airport, FL, 15,000 points per night. I hear they are furry friendly. Woof woof.

Have a trip planned with my in-laws toward the end of October to Paris– and we’re sharing a rented apartment with them. Would love to be able to stay at the Radisson Blu Hotel Champs Elysées, Paris for 2 nights, so we could have some “romantic” time away from the in-laws in our own hotel room. The room would cost 70,000 points per night— 140,000 Club Carlson points for 2 nights.
#2NightsAlmostAnywhere
Lost my wife’s Nike+ Fuel band, so winning a Fitbit would get me out of the doghouse. Well, at least partly.

Need the motivation. #FitbitZip
First, Thanks for all the tips, been following you for the past three years. As to Club Carlson, I need a reason to visit Paris, again. I know, I know- -I need a reason? Well, son went to university in Paris and we visited a lot. He graduated and we have not been back in two years. My wife and I miss our restaurants and the walks. Especially now, after just reading The best street in Paris-life on the Rue des Martyrs. So, if you are wiling to give us the voucher and points, why not go first class. Radisson Blu Hotel Champs Elysees! October 13 to 16th; 105K points each night (I really do miss the old days, one free night after a rewards nights.) Thanks, TIO. #2NightsAlmostAnywhere.
Congrats on the 5 years. have really enjoyed your blog since i started this hobby.
#2NightsAlmostAnywhere. My wife and I are taking a trip to Paris in October. We would love to stay at the Radison Blu Hotel Champs Elysees for our final night. I am a big cycling fan so staying on the Champs would be incredible. It would be only 1 night and 70k points.

My family would love a weekend at the Country Inn and Suites Champaign North, IL for a weekend of football + tailgating at University of Illinois. I have a freshman daughter on campus this year. I’m not sure she misses me all that much, but she will definitely turn up for bratwurst and cupcakes. (28,000 per night for a standard award.) #2NightsAlmostAnywhere

Hi! This is Noah Kimmel’s girlfriend. Noah pays for all our getaways with the help of your blog. I secretly read your blog too and would love to take HIM #2NightsAlmostAnywhere to The Country Inn & Suites By Carlson, New Orleans French Quarter, LA for 66,000 points Oct 21-23 for a not so #Surprise trip on me. And by on me, I mean on you. Wanna help? 🙂 Oh, and if you could throw in the #fitbitzip too, that would be great because my wrist is empty. So is my finger, by that’s another story (maybe a future giveaway?) We’ll send pics, or not…whatever you prefer. Thanks!!
P.S. I could also use new #Nike75 shoes, but please don’t give them to me because then I’d have to actually run that half-marathon I promised….

My Mom’s Birthday (72nd) is on 9-9-16 & would love to say to her – “Surprise! You are going with me to Gatlinburg compliments of the Frequent Miler!”. I have the best parents & wish to Pay it Forward, for they have done so much for me. Love your blog! #2NightsAlmostAnywhere

Radisson Hotel Cleveland-Gateway, Oct. 15-16, 36,000 points.
4 kids between the ages of 8 and 13. That’s enough reason to need to get away. Cleveland? Because it’s just far enough away to not hear them, but close enough to help put out the fire.

Hey FM, I’d love a weekend at the Radisson Blu Aqua in Chicago to celebrate my 20th wedding anniversary Oct. 21-23, but I don’t have the 105,000 points per night needed. Can you #helpagalout #mybagsarepacked #2NightsAlmostAnywhere
Of course while there we’ll be eating hot dogs and deep dish, so with #Nike75 and #FitbitZip I can try to stay on track!
Congrats on your blogiversary, too.

I’m on my way to the other side of the world, in a land far far away
Across the straights from Singapore is where I want to stay
I’m not much of a golfer, and its time to step up my game
Without breaking the bank in the Lion City and showing everyone I’m lame
Provide me the stay and I’ll cover the ferry, cover that and I’ll be even merrier
The Radisson in Batam might not be the priciest but free is free and I’ll give a big cheese
28,000 per night

Hey Frequent Miler – congrats on 5! My girlfriend had this great idea that we both get in shape. I promised her new running shoes if she trained for a half-marathon, so #Nike75 would be perfect. A #FitBitZip would help motivate me! I’m hoping you can send us to the Country Inn & Suites By Carlson, New Orleans French Quarter, LA for 66,000 points Oct 21-23 for a #Surprise trip. That way after a run, we can celebrate with a beignet or two!

Need to get out of the heat so I would go to Raddison Hotel Salt Lake City Downtown. It would be 56,000 points for two nights. Or maybe even Park Inn by Raddisson Salt Lake City-Midvale because that one is 30,000 points for the two nights. #2NightsAlmostAnywhere

I started to research “travel hacking” on google a little over a year ago when I heard someone mention at a wedding that it was how they’d gone on an amazing month long trip to Ireland. I quickly learned that “The Points Guy” and “Extra Pack of Peanuts” left something to be desired when they were some of the first hits a to come up on my search. It took a little while but I eventually stumbled across your blog (and others on boarding area) and it quickly became my favorite (along with Miles to Memories!) because you guys have provided me with a ton of useful information! So thank you, and congrats!

Thanks to my obsessive following on the @Greg The Frequent Miler Twitter account, I found tickets to NYC for such a steal that even my parents wanted to tag along! What I didn’t realize was that the hotels would come at a much higher cost than the tickets itself! It would be awesome to stay at the Radisson Martinique on Broadway from September 17-19 during my first trip to the east coast. Although it’s the city that never sleeps, two nights at the historic midtown district would be quite the pleasant treat. Cheers to your five years!

Would love a visit to Columbus Ohio with family to watch a niece play volleyball!
Country Inn & Suites By Carlson, Columbus Airport East, OH
She was in an accident this summer in Germany and is almost cleared by her doctor to play! It would take 56,000 “points” to stay ,but it would be worth it , to watch her make her “1st!!!”

Congrats on 5 years! I’d love to win 2 nights at the Country Inn & Suites Big Rapids or Grand Rapids (10/21-23) so that I can visit my newlywed sister at her home in Michigan. She ran off and got married on an island a few months ago (probably not on points & miles for the record) and has invited our family to a reception there. They are both 38,000 points per night. Hotel rooms are few and far between up there!
