FAB: A Champagne Living style sweepstakes

I have favorite airlines. One of my faves is American Airlines, it’s what I fly to Europe, it’s the easiest to gain points with and frankly I love that I’ve been able to easily upgrade a Y-up ticket with them to first class on many occasions. I also love that they offer fun giveaways like this one. I’m planning to enter it, and I figured that I’d pass it along to my readers as well, because the winner would receive a truly Champagne Living style trip.

Here are the details:

American Airlines and MasterCard® have teamed up to create the “Check It Out. Check It Off.” promotion, which encourages customers to book on AA.com using their MasterCard card for a chance to check some one-of-a-kind travel experiences off their “bucket lists.” The promotion, which runs through March 19, allows three grand prize winners to earn one of the following four-day VIP trips:

“This promotion is another way that American is bringing incredible experiences to our customers. We’ve teamed up with MasterCard to create three once-in-a-lifetime experiences, to which people might not otherwise have access,” said Richard Elieson, American’s Managing Director – Interactive Marketing. “We are also encouraging our customers to share their travel ideas and aspirations on our social networking sites. Travel enriches the lives of us all, and we want our customers to continue sharing their experiences with each other and the rest of the travel community.”
