We had a great year in 2012 and hope you did too. To celebrate such a great year, we forked over 10,000 of our hard earned American Express Membership Rewards points to one lucky winner for sharing where they’d like to go in 2013. We asked our readers to tweet us and use the hashtag #PMM (kinda like to see if I can take that hashtag over) to tell us where they’d like to go in 2013. We’ll announce the winner at the bottom of this post so continue reading to find out if you’ve won or take some inspiration from one of our many trip reports shared below.
Giveaway Of 10,000 American Express Membership Rewards
We’ve been so fortunate with targeted offers in 2012 that we wanted to give something back for all the readers that might not have received the great targeted offers.
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 gave us plenty of points and miles to continue our travels well into 2013 and beyond.
We feel very fortunate to have been able to visit so many places accumulating points and miles along the way, which in turn helps us to go to more places. Feel free to take a look at any of our many trip reports to help in planning your 2013 travel.
