It has been a LONG time since we’ve had an MJ on Travel reader contest, but there’s no time like the present to make things right again and offer some great prizes. First, National Car Rental is celebrating a huge milestone. In honor of 25 years of their fabulous Emerald Club, they are giving away a $25 dollar National gift card over on their Facebook page if you enter the Blast From the Past Sweepstakes! Submit a story, photo, or video of what you were doing 25 years ago for an opportunity to win.

Better yet, National and MJ on Travel are teaming up to offer you even more prizes. The grand prize is a National “Go Like a Pro™” gift basket filled with great things for all of your business travel needs including a $25 dollar gift card for business travel purchases, a National tumbler, a National embossed leather writing pad, a National pen set, a weekend duffle bag and a driving kit. The second runner up will receive a $25 dollar gift card.
