Audience Rewards Trivia Questions - 10-25-2012

I actually wasn't aware that there were new trivia questions available - last time I had checked there were only questions that only gave showpoints, not partner points so I didn't think it was worth our time.  I just happened to think about it this morning and when I checked, there are new questions available that offer the usual 2 Showpoints + 2 Partner points.  It looks like these questions were posted last week.

Audience Reward Trivia update

There is one set of questions which is listed on each of the partner sites.The questions can only be answered once per Audience Rewards account, so you need to pick which partner program you want to earn the points in.  I’ve listed all 4 links below; personally, I’ll be using the SPG link as I value their points more than Delta or US miles.

100 Free Points Every Day with Club Carlson!

Club Carlson - 100 free Points per day for the next 39 days

I've always been a fan of quick and easy ways to get free miles or points, even if it's only a few miles at a time. Club Carlson’s current promotion, The Club Carlson Global Giveaway is the latest opportunity I've come across and is god everyday for the next 5 and a half weeks!   Basically this is a 6 week long promotion and Club Carlson is giving away one trip each week. Each week's prize includes a five-night stay at a selected hotel, business class airfare for two and $5,000 cash.

 When you register for the drawing, you're given the opportunity to flip through a virtual "Vacation Look Book".  Once you've viewed each of the pictures, you earn 100 Club Carlson Points.

The promotion Website is: www.clubcarlsonglobalgiveaway.com

You can enter daily and can collect the 100 points each day for the length of the promo - and remember points can be transferred in between member accounts by contacting customer service so it could be especially useful if there are multiple family member participating in the promotion.

I'll never remember to do this every day for the next month and a half so I don't expect to get the full 3,900 possible points remaining, but I probably will remember more often than not and expect to earn around 3,000 points from the promo. 

Club Carlson is the Rewards Program for a number of Hotel Chains including Country Inn & Suites, Park Inn, Park Plaza, Radisson, and the Flagship Radisson Blu Brand.  Room night redemptions start at 9,000 points per night so this promo could get you almost halfway to a free night at one of their lowest tier hotels.
