QuikBook, the hotel consolidator, is offering a $15 Amazon.com gift certificate when you book and stay by March 31 with promotion code AMMI (one per customer, gift certificate delivered by email within 30 days). QuikBook is a pretty useful tool, though with limited application. It sells only hotel rooms, and then only in some major cities. But its rates are often better than the other travel websites (other than Priceline, for instance, when PL has inventory). In many cases it is buying and reselling rooms, so even when hotels are more or less sold out QuikBook may still have inventory. When there were no rooms to be had in New York City at any price (other than the Howard Johnsons at Penn Station for $220 and similar), I managed to get the Holiday Inn Midtown…

Summary of Free Stuff Offers
Nov

2004
A summary of all the Gratis Networks free offers I’m aware of: free photoiPod free handbag free iPod free desktop computer free flatscreen TV Please email me if you come across another Gratis Network offer that I haven’t found yet. The offers are pretty simple. Sign up for the sites. Just click on the links and create your account. It’s quick. With most of the sites you’ll be given a bunch of offers and asked to say “yes” or “no” to them. Just say no, because replying in the affirmative doesn’t get you anything – those offers don’t help you get free electronics. (They’re just an extra moneymaker for Gratis Internet.) Check out the offers that you’re able to complete. My favorite by far is Infone, but it seems to be only sporadically available. If…
Biscoff Cookies

One of the things I love about flying Skywest, a regional carrier in the Western U.S. for both United and Delta, is that they’ve long served Biscoff cookies. The Gourmet Center in San Francisco (which sells these wonderful treats) is now offering one Delta mile per dollar spent at their online store, plus 250 miles for each order (500 miles on orders of $75 or more). This isn’t the most lucrative offer on its own terms, but for folks like me who have long considered ordering the cookies anyway this gives me a pretty good excuse.
One for the ladies…

The free photoiPod people also have an offer for a free handbag — a Prada mini-hobo, Kate Spade Pia Pochette, Burburry Novacheck Minisling, or Coach Signature Demi-pouch. For the record, I don’t know what any of those things are. But they’re authentic, and they’re supposed to be good. As with all of these offers, the key is to sign up for a free trial that doesn’t require you to spend any money. The best offer is infone, as it doesn’t even need to be cancelled. AOL is another good offer, you don’t get charged anything and have 45 days to cancel.Then you need to refer folks to the site who need to complete an offer. Unlike the free computer, which takes 10 referrals, the free handbag takes only five.

If I post too much during the day from work, my employer might have to fire me. That might be okay, because Talentology is an online job bank which gives 500 United miles for each interview that you get from their site.
