Bite Me, American Airlines!

I happen to detest American Airlines.

So I was pretty intrigued when I checked Christine Gilbert’s website, AlmostFearless, and read her latest post: American Airlines Can Bite Me!

Christine is pissed.

American recently announced that it’s upping the number of miles required to cash in for a frequent flyer-earned trip, and she’s left with miles she can’t use for those dream trips she’d been planning.

So she’s giving them away.

Sure, there’s a catch, and you’ll have to log on to her website and read what it is.

But if you play along with the American Airlines Can Bite Me Contest, you might win:

1) one free airline ticket that costs 25,000 miles or less;
2) $100 toward a hostel stay;
3) space on her blog to talk about your trip or other projects you have going on.

Check it out!
