Catch Gilbert Ott if you can — and take his first class ticket

Gilbert Ott is a self proclaimed travel enthusiast and frequent traveler — which really shows on his blog “God Save the Points.” In his posts, Ott gives readers advice on how to earn more miles and use them efficiently, how to find cheap flights and when to buy tickets — basically anything that makes traveling better on you and your wallet.


“Want to trade seats on the plane? Whatever ticket you’ve got for my comfortable flat bed up front?” asked Ott. He then proceeded to explain himself in a cocky and humorous manner while bringing up his admiration for Richard Branson’s odd and whimsical promotions.

Basically, if you find Ott at an airport — wherever he may be — just go up, call him out by his name and blog and tell him you want his seat. If you two are on the same flight, Ott will gladly give you his business or first class seat — which he’ll ALWAYS have.

As to not make this too difficult, Ott has agreed to post and update maps of his travels on Twitter and Instagram along with clues regarding plans and airlines. He’s also posted a bunch of selfies on his blog so readers will recognize him but I think he just likes showing off his good looks.

Although Ott keeps saying this will probably go poorly — considering he has many 10+ hour flights — it will also bring in a lot of new readers and engage old ones.

“I want to deliver the best travel deals and information to as many people as possible. I’m really proud of our new site and if the chance to make me sit in coach while simultaneously making someone’s day brings me a single new reader, I’m psyched about that,” said Ott.

Along with the promotion, Ott is also giving away two business class tickets to anywhere in the US or Europe that Alaska Airlines or British Airways flies. All you have to do is leave a comment with a link to your favorite blog post and a blurb on why it was helpful or interesting. Winners will be chosen at random.

Even if for promotion, Ott’s giveaways are a fun and interesting “Catch Me If You Can” game that’ll either make someone’s day or expose new readers to money and time-saving tips. That being said, are you ready to find Gilbert Ott?

Recently, I found the perfect gift for my roommate — a sweatshirt of Rocky and Creed fighting, if you must know or needed last-minute inspo. She’s a fan of the franchise, and as a Philadelphia native, I couldn’t resist. Waiting until Black Friday (guaranteed sale), I logged onto PacSun’s website to be met with the

Ever since I started working 40 hours a week, I’ve realized that my mother is a superhero. Because, as a single 25-year-old, I don’t want to do…One. Single. Thing after work. Like everyone I know, I resent the monotony of my life from Monday to Friday. There is barely any time after 5 PM to

Shopaholic Saving Tips

In the words of Ferris Bueller: “Life comes at ya fast.” I learned this when, after graduating college, I suddenly had to get my life together and financially support myself. The horror. But I’m also young and fun (I swear!). I want to go out with my friends, follow trends, and buy myself a little

Tipflation Takes Over

Digitized payment methods have led to more aggressive tipping culture...here's how.

A few years ago I was at Coachella, buying overpriced, under-seasoned food from a vendor who was particularly kind. Par for the course, all of these events are dominated by Square payments that provide the oh-so-convenient option to tip your gracious server. Oftentimes, the transaction is so quick, you’re wondering if you should even tip

We live in a world where most celebrities have multiple business endeavors going besides what made them famous. Well known socialites are no longer just party-goers in ballgowns, but have now taken on the term “influencer” and drape themselves in brand deals before being photographed. And maybe being a public spectacle becomes so uninspiring that

How to Do a 2024 Financial Reset

via TikTok users @itserinconfortini and @lillianzhang_

I hate to admit it, but it’s getting embarrassing. It = my financial state. I’m still young, even according to Leonardo DiCaprio standards, and I’ve been using that as an excuse to prioritize fun and keep putting off saving. However, with the cost of living crisis, rising inflation rates, and my minor shopping addiction, I’m
