My 2013 Premier 1K credentials arrived today and I thought I’d spread the wealth and give away five of my beverage vouchers included with the kit to one lucky person.

United Airlines Alcoholic Beverage Voucher

As you can see, they’re valid for one alcoholic beverage each onboard United Airlines flights through January 31, 2014. All you have to do is leave a comment (one per person only). I’ll randomly draw a winner this Saturday January 12th at 12:00 p.m. PST. Be sure to enter your valid email address in the comment form as that’s how I’ll get in touch with the winner. And don’t worry if your comment gets held for moderation. I’ll be sure to clear and approve all comments before the drawing.

No other “rules,” though if you do end up using them all on one flight, please don’t get duct taped and tied up like that Icelandair passenger last week. ;-)
