Digital City Daily Deals Returns… Sort Of
Digital City used to publish the best low airfares from various cities across the U.S. It was an invaluable tool for finding out about great deals. Alas, it got the axe. One of the drivers of that project has new blog — a daily update of airfares like what Digital City used to offer, but at the moment just for the New York area. Folks who call New York home need to check out Today’s New York Area Airfare Report.

2005
Intercontinental Hotels offer Priority Club points for stays but maintains a separate elite program — Ambassador status — which is purchased rather than earned. The benefits of this status are Gold Elite membership in Priority Club (unless you earn platinum on your own), a free weekend night certificate (in conjunction with a paid weekend night, valid on just about all rates), one room-class upgrade, late check-out, a free in-room movie with each stay, and a welcome amenity. There’s also an upper tier of Ambassador, Royal Ambassador, awarded based on revenue spent with the chain. Early check-in is available, guaranteed upgrades, and free mini-bar are the parks. That status can’t be purchased. The usual cost of membership is $150, although there are sometimes promotions to earn the status free with a certain number of hotel stays.…

The people that brought you the free iPod, free Playstation Portable, free handbag, and free iPod Shuffle are at it again with a new offer. This time it’s a free digital camera. Among the cameras is a Canon Powershot S70 7.1 megapixel which retails for about $500. Like all of the free electronics offers, you have to sign up and complete a marketing trial (several are free if you cancel within the trial period) and get friends to do the same. Whereas the iPod shuffle offer requires only three referrals and the Playstation Portable requires five referrals, the digital camera offer takes ten — but then the iPod Shuffle retails for $100 and the camera is five times pricier. Once you’ve entered your email address, you’ll be asked whether you want to participate in several…

I’ve been brushing my teeth with Colgate Total ever since it won Slate‘s Paste Test. So this trivial rebate worth $2.99 was interesting to me, since it was for a free tube of the stuff.
