Promotions | #wheresJohnny?
Friday, September 2nd, 2011Today we are thrilled to announce a fun contest from our friend John Roa of AKTA and Digital Hope. As he begins his weeklong vacation abroad, he’s invited everyone to share this experience with him. No one knows where John is going, not even us.
Here’s the fun part! John will post a picture from his location on his blog and you can guess where he is! Photos will be posted through the 8th. The prizes are cool. Only the first correct guess wins the prize. The first prize winner will receive a one night stay at the luxurious Drake Hotel in Chicago. The second prize winner will receive a $100 Southwest Airlines giftcard. And finally, the third prize winner will receive a free Clipik, which is a great video editing service. Enter here:

There’s not much time, so get your guesses in now! Have a safe and wonderful Labor Day weekend. For those of you traveling, happy travels!
Starwood Partners with Foursquare
Monday, May 16th, 2011Starwood Preferred Guests who use Foursquare are now getting more than just badges. SPG’s latest partnership now awards Starpoints for members who link their account.
To avoid non-hotel guests from racking up points in their closest Starwood Hotel lobby, the program only awards 250 points when you have a confirmed reservation at the hotel.
We’ve seen a growing number of gtrot members linking their Foursquare accounts to gtrot to help track the places they’ve been. It will be interesting to see if more travelers sign up for Foursquare to get rewarded. This notion of earning travel awards in exchange for place check-ins is nothing new.
Travel rewards site TopGuest which rewards hotel guests ‘just for being there’ has supported multiple top check-in services and hotel loyalty programs since 2010.
So, would this make you sign-up for Foursquare if you haven’t before?
