Over the years, we’ve seen some travel brands (both airlines and hotels) sell travel passes, whereby you can pay a fixed amount upfront, and then travel a certain amount (or even an unlimited amount) during a promotion period.

It is now July 15 and I have not been notified. It appears that I did not win. Be careful what you wish for, as you might just get it.
