Hawaiian Airlines is giving away 140,000 miles in their Eat Like a Local Sweepstakes! To win, all you need to do is visit Hawaiian Air’s Facebook page, like it, and click the “Eat Like a Local” tab.
Unfortunately, I only recently found out about the Eat Like a Local Sweepstakes. And this week is already the second to the last week to enter. Still, you’ve got a chance to get two entries in before the contest ends! To actually enter the contest, you’ll need to answer the Local Food quiz question of the week.
The above is a screenshot of this week’s local food quiz. The questions aren’t terribly hard, especially if you’ve been to Hawaii before or are familiar with Asian food. But I’ll give you a hint. The food pictured in this week’s quiz question is called Kalbi. The answer should be easy to figure out with a quick online search. ?
HawaiianMiles aren’t particularly valuable. As I’ve said before, you can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to Korean Air SkyPass for cheaper redemptions to Hawaii. But 140,000 HawaiianMiles, especially free ones, isn’t anything to sneeze at either. That’s enough miles (at the saver level) to fly from anywhere in the US Mainland to Hawaii in First Class on Hawaiian. 140,000 HawaiianMiles would also get you two roundtrip tickets to/from Australia to/from Hawaii in economy. That’s a long flight to take in Hawaiian Air’s slimline economy seats, but still… Not bad!
The weekly prizes aren’t so great, however. Each week one winner will receive a L&L Hawaiian Barbecue prize pack. This includes a $25 L&L Hawaiian Barbecue gift card and insulated bottle.
Even if the odds of winning are low, entering the contest is easy and won’t take you more than a few minutes. And hey, if you do win, at least you’ll learn about local food.
