Yup, got same card promising me I'd won an Android Tablet, and if I called w/in 48hrs., I'd get 2 roundtrip tickets anywhere in the continental US & 3 night stay at a "major hotel brand."

Smelled like a scam, so I searched on the phone number, which resulted in finding this page...  I've roundfiled the card...don't want to get "taken."

Got the same postcard today, 7/30/13 but mine was for jetBlue Airways.
Clearly a SCAM.

Back of card:

PRESORTED FIRST-CLASS MAIL US POSTAGED PAID LAS VEGAS, NV  PERMIT NO. 2736
[Yes, an extra D on POSTAGE...]

"Congratulations we've selected you to receive 2 round trip airfares to anywhere in the contiguous United States - good for the next 12 months!

Call within 48 hours and receive a 3 day 2 night hotel stay at major brands.

To claim this special offer, simply call and mention your promo code.

Call Toll Free 1-888-516-4142 Promo Code WA-726 Mon - Fri 9am-9pm Sat 10am-4pm EST"

Front of card:
Picture of a twin jetliner soaring above clouds, headed toward me.
"jetBlue AIRWAYS(R)     FLY AWAY PROMOTION"

I called the 888 number;
Briana answered.
I asked what the name of her company was, she said "Rewards Center", then put me on hold.
I hung up, called back.
I asked for her company name again, she said she works for several companys, I would have to giver her the promo code.  I gave her WA-726.
She said Pacific Travel.
I told her the card says "jetBlue", not Pacific Travel;
She said "well, jetBlue is a popular carrier..."
I told her that this postcard looks fraudulent.
She offered to connect me with her manager, I said not to bother, I would forward this information to my state Attorney General.

Received Postcard. Does have return address for Freedom Marketing, 3820 S Pine Street, Tacoma, WA 98409 with a first class permit number of TACOMA WA PERMIT 102.
Phone number is the same as listed here. Promo code T-7269 (I guess T for Tacoma). Offer is "You've been selected to receive 2 round trip airfares to anywhere Southwest flies."
The card does state "this is not a timeshare"
It does not say the airfare is free, only that I've been selected to receive them. If you have to offer me airline tickets to call you, then I am sure I don't want what you are selling.

certainly sounds like this could be postal fraud, after all the comments I've read, but I dought the postal inspectors will give a s*&t, as it was mailed at 1st class rate, and we all are aware of the USPS money problems. Nobody bits the hand that helps feed it.

Just got my post card.  Southwest version.  Unfortunately, the people who post are the savvy ones who "got away".  Can only imagine how many unsuspecting folks fall for this crap.  Obviously quite a few.  Otherwise, this outfit would go broke mailing this stuff out constantly.

Says it isn't affilated with Frontier Airlines at all. What a come-on. I didn't get excited about it. You just DON'T get something for nothing. A post card that said, you've been selected to receive 2 round trip, yada yada...doesn't say it's FREE. Idiots

I just called the number 888-516-4142.  It was a local person right by the mall and post office.  She said it is a 90 minute seminar then you receive the first "free" RT tickets, then later you will receive the hotel stay.  Probably won't go but sounds like a hard core selling show!

I got the postcard today.  It's marked "Delta," but otherwise looks and reads the same as the Southwest card described above, including the picture of the unmarked plane.  The phone number to call was 1-877-287-1430, which traces back to an apartment in Arlington, Virginia.  (The postcard bears Permit 3950, issued in West Palm Beach, Florida.)

So bottom line, the travel is through Travel America out of Washington.  There's a $50 refundable deposit and you get airfare for 2 adults and 2 nights hotel for $98 each adult for taxes, $196 total plus the hoops to go through to get it.  Hmm....
