Travel with Grant Turns 1 Tomorrow – 2 $25 Amazon eGift Card Giveaway!
For the record, yes, that is the official Travel with Grant logo (minus the celebration balloons and streamers) that a friend made it for me, but I hardly ever use it. I much prefer my cheaply made rotating banner at the top of the page which shows some of the places miles and points can take you.
Anyway, tomorrow Travel with Grant (the blog, obviously) turns 1 year old! Shhhh, keep it secret, I don’t want to ruin the surprise party.
I started my blog last year after returning from FTU Tyson’s Corner, right outside Washington DC. I was inspired by Chris Guillebeau’s book The $100 Startup: Reinvent the Way You Make a Living, Do What You Love, and Create a New Future (Amazon link). I almost read the entire book on my flight home and said to myself: “I have some good travel/miles/points ideas, why not create a blog and share them with the world?”
The rest is history. Tomorrow night, I will go more in-depth on what I have learned about blogging (specifically how awesome WordPress is) and how blogging has changed my view on the miles and points hobby.
Now for the good stuff, I have 2 $25 Amazon eGift Cards available to give away to the 2 readers who guess closest to my actual American Airlines account balance. I will give you 2 hints:
- I only have 1 Citi AA Executive Credit Card (so far)
- I have between 100,000 miles and 500,000 miles
Guessing will be open from now (7AM PST) to 7PM PST tomorrow (or whenever I feel like ending the contest and sending out the prizes). Good luck everyone!

Happy Birthday, blog! Wow. I thought you’d been blogging for a much longer time. Your series on Bluebird is one of the best out there. My guess is that you have around 390,000 in your AA account. Maybe that’s too high, but you post a lot on MS, so I figure you’ve got some sort of strategy to accumulate and maybe you want to take a round-the-world trip (although AA eliminate the Explorer Awards… arrgh). In any case, that’s my guess.
Thanks Laura! Yes, only 1 year old. I noticed that there are many topics lacking clear step by step guides and decided I would be the one to own the latest Bluebird and Serve (lots of work left to do) news and features.
234,000
Happy birthday! My guess is 228,000
25,000. Yes, only 25,000.
Oh Sean, you are not even close. Try guessing between 100,000 and 500,000 miles. Good luck!

I can comfortably say you are at least 100,000 miles off. Try guessing between 100,000 and 500,000. Good luck!

Hmmm.. My psychic ability tells me u have 196341 miles on it AA account.. !
I predict you will or have lost money on Twitter stock. Now is the time to double down and buy more.
Hmmm I have my funny money in Facebook and Twitter but I have a much larger portion in high yielding dividend stocks (8-14% yield).
