Starwood Rocks Out! With Rock Out Promotion

Back in July we posted about the Starwood Rock Out Promotion where you can earn a ticket to a Live Nation concert with every stay at a participating Starwood property. Well I'm happy to report that between my wife and I we redeemed tickets to 2 Live Nation Concerts.

Back in early August I along with others had a problem receiving the certificates from Starwood. That turned out to be a preference setting on my Starwood account where I requested not to be contacted by Starwood about various promotions. A quick email to Starwood Lurker on Flyertalk resolved the issue and I had the ticket codes the next day, thanks William.

First we are going to see Brad Paisley w/Dierks Bentley and Jimmy Wayne.

Then the concert I am most excited about, we are going to see REO Speedwagon & Styx Tickets.

New Movie About A Frequent Flyer / Consultant

Up In The Air

The movie Up In The Air is about "Ryan Bingham (George Clooney) is a corporate downsizing expert whose cherished life on the road is threatened just as he is on the cusp of reaching ten million frequent flyer miles."

This is from the director of Juno and Thank You For Not Smoking. Lucky over at One Mile posted a trailer that is on YouTube earlier today. The movie opens in theaters on December 4th, 2009.

Check out this movie review and the trailer below.



After over 139 nights in a hotel room this year, I'm looking forward to seeing this one.
