Yes, You Can Win Miles Playing Promotions

 

I'm a sucker for FREE. Yep, guess that's why I write this blog so I can help you take advantage of the points and miles that are offered out there for FREE so you can travel for almost FREE. Lots of people take surveys to earn points and miles, I don't usually go that route. It's time-consuming and a pretty slow way to earn in my opinion. However, I do like to take advantage of hotel and airline promotions. Those I find can be pretty lucrative. They can also help top off an account if you need to stop points and miles from expiring or sometimes even to earn the Southwest Companion Pass. See my past post about this awesome travel perk. 

So the latest promotion is from American Airlines. It goes through May 3rd, you can play once a day, and only takes a few minutes, but can be pretty lucrative. I've already earned 800 American Airlines miles. 

You just click on a few links to earn globe spins. Then spin the globe. If the globe stops on the US, you lose, but if it stops anywhere else in the world, you win some miles. According to the contest rules, there are 230,000 "400 mile" instant prizes, the most common prize since I've won twice so far. But there are also 35,000 "4000 miles" instant prizes. Now we are talking. There also appear to be some memberships and gift card instant prizes as well. 

 Even if you lose the globe spin, you are entered into a grand prize drawing for one million miles. 

For a few minutes of your time, this may be worth it.
