JetBlue & Sofitel sweepstakes, Orlando hotel deal, Myaffina $50 credit

I've been letting my press releases pile up. Now I have a ton to sift through. Here are four for now...

JetBlue is having a 9th anniversary sweepstakes with daily prizes. They emailed me a broken link, but I found the 9th anniversary thing on this page.

Universal Orlando Resort offers 2 nights free when you book a 3 night package starting at $689, which includes accommodations at a hotel near Universal and unlimited theme park admission. Families have until March 29 to book for travel that can begin immediately and run through October 8, 2009. Here's the link.

I got an email from Affina Hotels. They have something where you customize your room by decided what kind of pillow you want, whether you want to rent a guitar, borrow a yoga mat, etc. online before checking in. They also have some promotion where you get a $50 credit if you register for this customization site, www.myaffinia.com, before March 31.

So I filled out the information - it took 5 minutes or less. They asked me if I was interested in New York, Chicago, or Washington DC so they might only have hotels in those 3 cities.

I also noticed that I had wasted my time when I saw the fine print after signing up because I won't be staying in any Affina hotel before March 31, 2009. "Activity credit offered on future stays from 1/1 - 3/31/09." Oh well. That's not what their publicist emailed me: "If you sign-up for the My Affinia program between 1/1/09 - 3/31/09, you will receive a $50 credit towards your next Affinia stay." So I thought I'd get $50 off my next stay no matter when it was...
