Sticks of Fire: a Tampa blog

Over the past few years I have gone to Disney five times including two overnights at a couple of Disney resorts. My cost for all of that was $0.00. In fact, during one of those trips I was also given a $250.00 Disney Gift Card to spend!

I have had the fortune to attend countless concerts from the Rolling Stones to Motley Crue, to the Florida Orchestra, and again those cost me nothing. My husband and I have even flown to New York for a weekend to catch the Eagles live and then to enjoy dinner in the City, the cost for that? $0.00.

I do not have a lucrative job that allows me these perks. I do not have rich family members that love to spoil me. What I have is local radio stations giving away great prizes!

All I had to do to get these packages was sign up for their VIP listener clubs.  I simply give them a valid email address and in return they send me news about their contests once a month (if that). Then I go on and sign up for each contest I have an interest in. If you win, they call or email you the information.

You usually have to pick up the prize during business hours, and you will also sign the paperwork with your social security number just in case you go over $599 for the year, in which you will get stuck paying taxes (this has happened to me more than once).

I have selected a few contests that are going on now that I’m hoping to win but I like to share the wealth a little too. So good luck and let us know if you come up with any prizes!
