Looks like Starbucks is not the only place giving away freebies on March 23rd.

It is Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s!!! They start handing out the freebies at noon and it runs through 8pm. The other great part is you can stand in line as many times as you like, so don’t be scared to try a new flavor.

The event is only at participating locations. You can check at their store locator which locations are participating.

On the morning of March 23rd, Starbucks will give a free pastry with the purchase of a handcrafted beverage.

Come to participating Starbucks on Free Pastry Day, March 23. Choose a delicious pastry to pair with your beverage and that tasty item is free.

To get your free pastry, print out the coupon below and present it to your barista. Or simply show them the coupon on any mobile device. But Free Pastry Day ends at 10:30 a.m. – so don’t miss out!

I love my Starwood Amex card.  As a frequent business traveler, I am always looking to maximize my reward points earnings.  Just about every hotel and airline has some sort of rewards program, but the two I am most familiar with are American Airlines’ AAdvantage program and Starwood Hotel’s Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) program. I have been a loyal member of both for the past 6 years.  When I first began traveling a lot for my day job, I did some research and discovered the Starwood Amex card. This card comes with some great benefits.

Fee-Free for the first year (then only $45 per year after)
Earn 10,000 Starpoints with your first purchase
Earn double points using the card at SPG hotels  (As a Platinum SPG member I earn 4 points for every dollar I spend at the hotels!)
Transfer SPG points to AA miles (20k SPG points = 25k AA miles!)

The card does not have the lowest APR around, but since I would sooner give a kidney than pay my credit card company interest (by not paying the full balance each month), this isn’t a problem.

Over the past few years, I have cashed in SPG points for some incredible trips with my wife that would have otherwise been way beyond our budget. We’ve stayed at the 5-star Princeville Resort in Kauai, 3 separate 5-star hotels throughout Italy (Florence, Rome and Venice), countless nights at great W hotels across the U.S., and many others.  And we didn’t pay for a single airfare!

If you’re financially responsible enough to wield a credit card – and especially if you are a frequent traveler – check out the SPG Amex. There’s good reason the SPG Amex is the fan favorite rewards credit card on flyertalk year after year. Apply for yours now!

There’s no better time to be a menace to society!
