Generous reader Debashish has donated a pair of United Club passes that expire January 31, 2014. Thanks, Debashish!

Here are the United Club locations to check whether you’ll be able to use a pass on your next trip.

If you can use the passes between December 15, 2013 (because they will take a few days to get to you) and January 31, 2014, there are two ways to enter to win them!

Disclosure: I am getting two one-night stay certificates at U.S. Radissons for hosting this giveaway. I’ll look into giving them away too.

This week I ran two posts as part of a giveaway to give each of two winners:

One $500 Visa Gift Card
Club Carlson Gold Elite Status through February 2014 (If you already have Club Carlson Gold Status, you will receive Concierge Status through February 2014.)

The prizes were generously donated by Club Carlson.

Maybe some booze will make your next economy flight more bearable!

Super-generous Jeff wants to give away his Southwest drink coupons. He has eight coupons that expire December 31, 2013, all of which will go to one winner.

Comment for a chance to win.

Update: Congratulations to winners Matt and EGWG! The winners have been notified. Thank you to all for your submissions.

Today I'm giving away one travel essential for Argentina and one for Melbourne, Australia, and there will be two winners.

Traveling with a cell phone makes life a lot easier.

I am giving away a pair of United Club passes that I received by opening a United MileagePlus Explorer Card.

United has lounges all over the world. The clubs are a pleasant place to relax in a comfortable chair, use free wifi, and enjoy free snack and drinks. Here are the amenities.

Today I'm giving away a free oneway award on Southwest Airlines that must be flown by April 20, 2013. Specifically, I am giving away half of a standard award--a capacity-controlled award on Southwest Airlines. Standard awards are a relic of the old Rapid Rewards program.

Eight months ago, I converted 19,200 Rapid Rewards points to a Southwest standard award. I explained how to do that in How to Exploit the Southwest-Airtran Merger.

I did this because Southwest currently effectively operates two loyalty programs, a revenue based program and a chart-based program.

I got so wrapped up in my three posts yesterday that I forgot about Free Giveaway Friday!

Check them out if you didn't already:
