Lucky’s Lucky 7th: Favorite Posts

Checking this morning I’ve written over 8,000 blog posts in the past seven years.

That’s an average of three posts per day, and well over 12 million words. We won’t even talk about the comments and emails, but, yeah, my life outside this blog is every bit as exciting as you'd expect based on those numbers. ;)

If I had to pick a favorite post, I’m not sure I could. I have some favorite memories, and some days that were especially fun. but it’s somewhat like picking a favorite child.

Rite Aid Fabuary Free Flight Promo Going South?

A few days ago I wrote about Rite Aid's Fab-uary promotion whereby you can earn a free domestic flight for $250 in spend on participating products. This February promotion follows on the heels of January's Happy You Year promotion which offered a 2-night Hyatt stay. Theoretically, you can now get a free flight to go with your free hotel stays.

Here are my previous posts on the Rite Aid promotions:

2 Free Hyatt Nights For $250 Spend at RiteAid (Promotion Over)

4 Predictions For The Rite Aid Free Hyatt Night Promo (Promotion Over)

Free Domestic Flight For $250 Spend At Rite Aid

Both of these promotions are being run by TRCo Marketing, sister company to TLC Marketing which was the fulfillment company for the ill-fated Dockers / JC Penney promotion back in 2008. That one also offered a free flight or free hotel stay. It generally did not go well and ended in a class action law suit.
