The year 2012 has been very good to the Weekly Flyer family. We are now blessed with a new travel companion, Baby Weekly Flyer. The addition of Baby Weekly Flyer has forever changed our travel patterns for the better, and we couldn’t travel so well without all of these points and miles from this hobby of ours.

We’ve also seen our fair share of great targeted points and miles offers this year. These offers have afforded us an opportunity to visit some great places for which we are grateful for.

For example, the targeted Delta 1,000 miles per segment has given us a ton of extra miles. Our recent targeted offers of 100,000 American Express Membership Reward points will give us plenty of points and miles to continue our travels well into 2013 and beyond.

Since not everyone is able to get in on these great targeted offers, we’re running a giveaway here at Points, Miles & Martinis to give away 10,000 American Express Membership Reward points. These points can be transferred to a winners account of choice amongst the Membership Reward Points partners.

The 10,000 Membership Rewards Point Prize

The winner of the giveaway will receive 10,000 American Express Membership Reward points transferred to an account of your choice.
