Contest: Win a $100 Gas Card from National!! (closed)

August 30, 2011

It’s always nice to get something for free! National Car Rental has a promotion going on right now called “1,2, Free,” which rewards Emerald Club members with a free rental for every two rentals from August 22nd-January 31st 2012. Additionally, participating members can earn a free rental day for referring a friend (pretty awesome, right?!) To take advantage of this promotion, you need to be an Emerald Club member, which is super easy and free and gives you special privileges every time you rent a car from National.

So, in honor of the “1,2, Free” campaign, I thought it would be fun to hear what you would do with your free day. To enter the contest, write a comment about how you would spend your free rental car day. (I, personally, would use my day to drive around Napa and taste wine with the Home Warrior surrounded by that beautiful scenery.) You could win a $100 gas card from National!  The winner will be selected at random from all of the entries, and announced on Friday, September 2. As always, only one entry will be counted per person, and this particular contest is for US residents only (sorry international readers!).

Also, if you get a minute, definitely check out the “1,2, Free” promotion.  As a bonus for me, if enough of my readers click on the link, I will get to be the National Car Rental Featured Travel Pro! So help a girl out, and click on the link.
