Here’s what’s ahead.
The next few days will bring offers from LifeLock, La Quinta Inns and Suites, Days Inn, Alamo Rent a Car, and AAdvantage. May 25th looks to be a surprise.
Not sure what it will be, but rather than speculate, here’s my top five list of fantasy deals I’d like to see:
1 Lifetime AAdvantage Platinum Elite Status. AAdvantage Gold is good for exit row seating, free checked luggage, and the occasional upgrade to first class on flights to Omaha. Lifetime Executive Platinum would be the really cool, but chasing Elite Qualifying Miles is half the fun of flying. I’d be just fine with Lifetime Platinum.
2 Lifetime Admirals Club Membership. I’d like a chance to buy a lifetime membership. Back in September American was offering a chance to win a Lifetime Admirals Club membership and they listed the approximate retail value at$ 5,500. While I’ not sure that I want to part with the money, I’d like to be able to consider it. Even better, I’d love a chance to win Lifetime Membership!
3 Every spring I start to think a about round-the-world trip oneworld Explorer fare. I’d be probably do it if they offered a 10% discount code. Even better would be 30% discount code good with oneworld Explorer business class fares.
4 Or maybe chance to win 4 System Wide Upgrade certificates and/or one year of Executive Platinum status.
5 Since this is my fantasy list…..how about chance to win a Lifetime AAirpass. The Lifetime AAirpass was last offered by Neiman Marcus in their 2004 Christmas Book:
This fantasy gift is a jet-setter’s dream come true. Neiman Marcus offers its customers an exclusive, worldwide lifetime AAirpass membership. The rules are wonderfully simple: each AAirpass membership allows the lucky traveler to book seating in any available cabin, with VIP privileges on any open seat for American Airlines’ 4,200 daily flights to 250 cities in more than 40 countries around the globe for the rest of his or her life. The AAirpass membership also offers the relaxing privacy of access to the 42 American Airlines Admirals Club lounges around the world. Limited quantities of these exclusive memberships are available.
One Lifetime AAirpass membership was $3,000,000 and there was even a discount: Two Lifetime AAirpass memberships for only $5,000,000. Sigh…..
Care to speculate? What would you like to see?
