Ok, so, here’s my attempt to be funny. Over the weekend, George at TravelBloggerBuzz made a joke about the latest Million Mile Secrets (MMS) interviewee likely doing a $25 Amazon Gift Card giveaway.
Well, it will be no surprise that I was not an interviewee for MMS. And, I didn’t make 300 twitter followers yet (contrary to my hope posted on twitter a few days ago)… I have made a commitment to give my 300th twitter follower an American Airlines System Wide Upgrade (SWU), assuming they can use it (Update: My 300th follower was: @n_a_j, who was unable to use the SWU – so look for another give-away in the future). If not, I’ll probably do another giveaway on here. Its out there:
I’m presently at 275 followers. I’m 25 followers from 300. For fun, I will give an American Airlines Systemwide upgrade to my 300th follower

That said, I’m happy to report, I have 291 twitter followers! (A special welcome to the last 16! Aww heck, a special welcome to all of my 291 307 followers! Thank-you!)
Ok, enough beating around the bush. I have a handful of United Club One-Time Passes that are getting close to expiration and I’d rather them be used than just expire. This set of 2 is good through 2/28/2015, which I hope is enough time for folks to utilize.
Pair of United Club Passes
You can win them rather simply: Leave a comment of an upcoming United Flight you have booked (anytime between now and 2/28/2015). Please leave comments anytime between now and 11:59pm Thursday 9 October 2014.
I’ll select someone randomly on Friday, 10 October 2014.
I’m flying bos-atw next month. These would be great connecting through Ohare.
I’m flying dtw-ord-cmx with a long layover in order Feb 8th.
I’m flying dca to ogg in November with many hours in sfo. Thanks.
Hope you get to 300! (Ps, Don’t put me in the contest for the UA passes, I’m set!)
Thanks Karyn!
I don’t have any travel booked on UA. I was thinking of winning these and doing a giveaway on my blog.
LOL! Thinking out side of the box, eh?
LAX-SEA on Oct 22nd
You should make it easier to find your twitter handle on this site and maybe even update your name on twitter so people know it’s for this blog. I’ve been thinking recently “man this tmount guy is helpful, I wonder who he is”.
Obviously I’m not the smartest, but I imagine you have some similarly challenged like myself.
Thanks for the suggestions! Two great points. I appreciate the feedback.
I just booked a united flight nov 5 from Los Angeles to Tokyo and another November 11 from Tokyo to LAX!
my husband,3 kids, and I are flying United (and partners) from Bos – xiy (China) to Israel in February. We would use them!
We have a positioning flight on UA to LAX, which stages us for LAX-HKG, HKG-BNE and BNE-LAX, all on real airlines (Cathay Pacific and Qantas), and which themselves staying for a month in New Zealand.
But what good is all that if we can’t get a couple of diet cokes at a Red Carpet Club to start our trip.
On a more serious note, any blog George links gets in my bookmarks. You’ve been warned.
@Sam – Glad to have you as a reader. Sounds like quite the trip!
ORD – SAN 10 Dec 14. Would love to use them
Taking my aunt to Europe for the first time. Feb. 20
cec-sfo-fra-istanbul. first leg is on United and we have a 4 hour layover at SFO.
I’ve got a flight to SFO on October 28th. I sure could use the passes, because delays are pretty common on that route. Thanks!
I’m flying to HKG and would love to use the United lounge there.
