Winner of View from the Wing’s Entry in BoardingArea Gold Coast Australia Trip Giveaway

The first stage of the Boarding Area – American Express Premier Rewards Gold card giveaway is complete — each of the BoardingArea blogs has selected one entrant for the final drawing.

And the winner of this blog’s entry is Connie. There were over 600 loyalty program tips submitted, and Connie’s was chosen at random (from those meeting a bare minimum threshold of seriousness/responsiveness to the question).

Connie’s tip was:

When dining out with a group of friends and the bill comes on one ticket they always choose to pay cash. I take all their cash and then pay the entire bill – along with my portion of course – on my credit card simply to get the miles.

I’m disciplined enough to put the cash in my banking account and make a payment towards the credit card right away.
