I’ve had a pretty great two weeks: Not only did I leave my long-term side hustle for greener pastures, but I’ve also experienced a huge traffic boost recently. Lots of new and returning readers have been reading, sharing and helping the site grow. So I figured this was the perfect time to celebrate new milestones with a giveaway!
I asked folks in the PointChaser FB group what kind of prizes they’d want to win and got some great suggestions.
While I can’t raffle off any miles (Hey Chase, if you’re reading this, hit me up!), I figured gift cards are always a safe bet. One of my readers suggested giving away a “surprise” in the mail. I think that’s a terrific idea and something I’ll do for the 7-year blog anniversary this fall.
In the meantime, I’m giving away three $100 e-gift cards on various channels through the end of the week. Winner’s pick. Here’s what you need to do to win:

That’s very nice of you to think of your readership and offer gifts! I particularly enjoyed reading about your time in Calais, etc. How does one find out about such possibilities?
I am always interested in new ways to earn points or places to spend VGC. I live in a major city where there are few options and no WM. Keep up the good work!
MS opportunities that don’t include Walmart and money orders (unfortunately, those are not available to me).
Love your blog, hope to hear more about ms without walmart too.
Ditto: MS not involving Walmart
I’d love to read about sweet spot redemptions. Thanks!
Thanks for this,chance.
Always interested in best Chase signup bonuses.
How to liquidate all these VGCs? Walmart in northern NJ will not allow a MO purchase with them, neither will Acme.
Good luck. Keep up the great posts.
I don’t even remember how I found out about your blog! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I have enjoyed learning and using your tips. Now that I am retired point chasing is my new hobby. Sometimes on our cross country road trips, we just need to pay the fees for our do.
How do you spend your points each trip?
More destination reports like your Istanbul series, redemption tips, whatever you find interesting!
Great blog with great real world information.
Hey Ariana! I want to see posts about any new MS opportunities (unless they are too top secret to share). Many of the reliable ones are dead.
I’d like articles on how you spend the points you get.
I’d like to see suggestions on finding deeply discounted or mistake airfares. You have great content on MS, but I could also use help in stretching miles once earned. Great blog!
Great site and always have readers interests in mind, you are often responsive to readers’ questions.
I would like to read more about your flight redemptions, hotel stayed, interesting food places selected, and finally, what cards you use during your travel.
Keep up the good work, we love you!!!
An article on how rental car companies try to screw customers.
MS volumes that are safe to do and Won’t result in shutdown

Thanks for all of your tips. I see lots of your trips and pics but don’t see what you used for redemption to get there.
I’d like to know the best ways to get cheap flight tickets!
Just keep up offering current ma opportunities
Ways to liquidate VGC’s other than Walmart. Also, new MS opportunities.
I enjoy reading everything about MS. I especially like the monthly report of your details of MS. All the other posts are a great use of info. Love what and how you do it. Keep up the good work.
An article about how to get to South Africa.

Happy for you! I’ve always like your hotel reviews and stayed at the Hyatt in Thessaloniki based on them. But also love the MS topics.
Really happy to have found your blog. Really enjoy reading about MS. Looking forward to your guide that you’re working on. Thanks for sharing!!!
I love your Crazy ways to earn Points & Miles.
I think you are best at MS and that is what i want you to continue.

I would like to read more on sweet spot award redemptions..now that we know how to MS..it would be good to know how to spend those miles best.
I like to know more tip, trick and hacking for MS , earn and redeem points and mikes .
I would love to see more posts about value points and miles as opposed to luxury. So often people focus on first class and luxury suites, but points still go farther if you fly economy and book more reasonable hotels. Ways to stretch your points the farthest make the most sense to me.
Content on tracking MS and new cards
I got hooked on your blog when you detailed the Hawaiian Airlines search toolbar before the plug was pulled on it. Would love to see more easy miles/points opportunities like that.
Thanks for your blog! I’d love to learn more about MS that can be done online.
I would like more stories on either where and when to NOT use points, as well as experiences where using points was more trouble than it is worth.
An article summarizing all minimum spend requirements for various credit card benefits annually.
Way to go Ariana.
I’d love to hear more about your trips. I know it is a hassle to write up a trip report, so even some basic details of the destination would be interesting.

Like many others, any “underground’ MS / non-Walmart liquidation techniques the pros use.
Especially the non-Walmart part. Thanks
