drink enough and you fly free! [Nov. 3rd, 2005|12:54 pm]

So Kevin calls me from his cell a little while ago. He's ecstatic. He tells me about this awesome promotion Wendy's is currently running in partnership with AirTran Airways. Basically, here's the deal:

If you don't have an AirTran Arilines A+ Rewards account, you can get one free at www.aplusrewards.com.

1. Buy either a 20 oz. drink or a 32 oz. drink and get one coupon.
2. For every 4 coupons you get, you receive 1 AirTran reward point in your account.
3. 16 AirTran points entitles you to one round-trip flight anywhere in the continental U.S.
4. You're allowed to submit a maximum of 128 coupons (two flights).

There is a 5-drink maximum per visit, but that's easy to get around.

Let's do the math. A 20 oz. drink costs $1.16 after tax. Sixty-four of these drinks earns you a round-trip flight. Total cost to you: $74.24.

So, for $148.48, I can earn 2 round-trip tickets to anywhere they fly. I have to use these tickets within one year, but that's easy. I fly 5-6 times a year, usually to Vegas. This is perfect.

Am I missing anything?

i just printed out the rules to give it a go..i have an A+ acct with Airtran already. It looks legit. The only negative I see is that most Airtran flight interchange in Atlanta. Looks like they do have a non stop to Vegas from Akron/Canton (CAK).

So glad I saw this. I went to Wendy's today for lunch and bought a 99cent Chili. Asked for water in one of those cups since there's nothing there I care to drink, and picked up 2 more cups from people about to throw them out. Good deal.

Isn't that awesome? The Wendy's across the street from work isn't taking part in the promotion, though--dammit! But the Belmont Avenue one is and I'm slurping up, trust me. Coolness, huh? Like I don't drink that much Diet Coke as it is--without the added incentive. HA!
