JetBlue's cruise sweepstakes
JetBlue has a sweepstakes for 10 free cruises. I didn't know JetBlue was heavily invested in the cruise industry and I guess the point of their sweepstakes is to get the word out.
We're celebrating JetBlue's 10th Anniversary by giving away 10 cruise vacations on Royal Caribbean International! Winners will receive an oceanview stateroom for two on their preferred seven-night Caribbean voyage, including roundtrip JetBlue flights. Boasting the world's largest cruise ships with innovative amenities like ice-skating rinks and surfing wave pools, Royal Caribbean offers unforgettable ocean adventures. Now through August, we're giving away ten (10) cruise packages - enter once and you'll automatically be entered for a chance to win. Check back each month for new winners.I'm still not quite sure why anyone would want to buy say a Royal Caribbean cruise through JetBlue. Do you get personalized service like you might through a local travel agent?

Here's the press release:
Breaking news out of the North Pole: Rudolph's famous glowing nose is busted! We're as stunned as you are. With a particularly foggy Christmas Eve ahead, Santa just couldn't afford to take any chances, and he's already plucked another green-snouted reindeer from a rare flock in south Norway to substitute for the ailing hero. But there's a problem: The new leader of Santa's sleigh needs a name.
That's where you come in.
We've gotten the exclusive scoop from Captain Kringle himself, and his mission is clear: If your suggested name gets chosen as the most creative, you'll win two free round-trip tickets from Southwest Airlines! To enter, all you have to do is follow @whereivebeen on Twitter, re-tweet the contest message with the substitute sleigh leader's new name and wait! Act fast, the contest only lasts today, December 22nd, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. CST! We'll announce the winner tomorrow.
Read the terms and conditions to make sure you qualify, and good luck!
I went to the twitter feed to see what kind of names had been submitted so far. I didn't actually see any contest submissions there but I'm totally new to Twitter so i may be doing it wrong...

Free flight to New Zealand anyone?
Air New Zealand has an interesting promotion going on. You have to follow them on twitter, get a trivia question correct, and then win a random drawing. Do all that and you get a free flight to New Zealand.
I don't have a twitter account and this isn't enough to make me start one but I wish you all good luck should you choose to play!
And it's not that I'm scared the questions will be too hard:
Q#7 - Which kangaroo crazy country is situated a cozy 1,250 miles across the Tasman Sea from New Zealand's shores? Tweet answer back to @KiWeets

Win three nights in the Turks & Caicos: Ocean Club Resorts

Entries must be posted on the wall by 10 p.m. EST on Wednesday, November 4, 2009. One of the most popular things to do at Ocean Club is to do nothing at all, so show us your best.
How to win:
1. Become a fan of Ocean Club Resorts' Facebook page. You must be a fan so we can contact you if you are the winner.
2. Post a photo of yourself enjoying your laziest dream beach day by 10 p.m. on Wednesday, November 4, 2009.

Folgers "Home for the Holidays" Contest
Here's the contest. I wonder if expats are allowed to enter - I'm a resident of the US so I meet that qualification but something tells me they only want to spring for domestic airfare... But even if I'm not eligible, I at least hope that military people serving overseas are allowed to enter.
Edit: Expats and service members stationed overseas can not enter. Entrants need to be US residents and traveling from one US state to another (or Washington DC).
