Orion Travel Technology will provide you with a free 2-piece luggage set and pay your airline round-trip baggage fees in exchange for placing ads on your bags. The travelers would then be carrying around a marketing billboard around the world which is great for marketers, and receiving free luggage and baggage fees covered.
This is one of the first Travel Companies that gives back to its customers by offering them free baggage fees while traveling on commercial Airlines such as Southwest. They have also developed the world’s first mobile traveling billboard luggage trolley with a front and back advertising wrap that is molded into the plastic.
These luggage advertising campaigns are not limited to air travel but also geared to trains, cruise ships, buses, ferries, cars, and trucks. One good thing but could also be a big brother thing is that Orion luggage has a GPS tracking device and onboard alert system that contacts owners via a phone app when your luggage has been opened and tampered with. They will of course be tracking where you are all of the time. (more…)

You will still get the 5% bonus on Amazon and you can add Chase Freedom to that list as well. This almost makes us think that Amazon is paying for this because they are surely getting us addicted to the 5% back with them instead of shopping at a local Target or Walmart.
Discover 5% Cash Rebate Categories from October to December 2015 include Amazon, Department Stores, and Clothing Stores. They started the year with Gas and Ground Transportation, then Restaurants and Movies, then featured Amazon, Department Stores, and Home Improvement Stores in the quarter that will end September 30.
