Do You Jump on Your Bed?

**Comments are closed! Three comments have been chosen & have been contacted. Thanks for entering! **

Do you jump on your bed? Do you let your kids jump on the bed? What about when you stay in a hotel?

I confess -- my kids do jump on the bed, and I've been known to encourage jumping on hotel beds. Which is why this promotion tickled my funny bone.

Intercontinental Hotel Groups sponsored the "World's Biggest Bed Jump" this summer, and are offering a special "Stay 2 nights, then get 1 FREE" offer through August 15. When you stay at any IHG hotel (Holiday Inns, Crowne Plaza, Hotel Indigo & more) for 2 nights between now and August 15, 2009, you'll receive a free night anytime between now and December 26, 2009!

There are some specific rules -- so check out Get A Free Night for all the details.

The lovely PR person for IHG, Susannah, sent me iTunes gift cards to give away to help my readers create their own bed-jumping playlist! Because we all know that jumping on the bed is much more fun when you've got some great tunes playing :)

I have three $10 iTunes gift cards to give away! To enter, leave a comment telling me if you jump on your bed, or what song you'd add to your playlist if you won, or where you're going on vacation this summer.

The giveaway will end next Friday (July 24, 2009 at 11:59PM). Giveaway open to US residents only. Winners will chosen randomly. Entries must include a valid email address for contact purposes. (Or you can leave a comment, and then send me your email address via email.)

    Jump on the bed? But of course!! Especially at hotels. Gotta have some kind of quality control. What song would I want to jump on the bed to? Lemme ask my kids....."In The Ayer" by Flo Rida.

    I just got back from a Disneyland trip recently, but have a huge family reunion planned for my family to come here at the end of the summer.

    Planning a week-long south-west vacation including kayaking, shopping, and a bit of Vegas. :)

    Yes, I allow the elevation of young souls to adjust the neatness of our temporary living quarters from time to time. An occasional flip if we are dealing with King/Queen dimensions.

    The songs I always wish we had playing was House of Pain - Jump or good ole xris xross from back in the day.

    :)

    First off, I'd like to say great competition!

    If I were to hypothetically want to jump on my bed (which may be a secret desire :)), I would listen to Jump by N.E.R.D. If I were to hypothetically win (which I have a feeling I might), then I would buy a movie. Or I would just buy an album such as big whiskey and groogrux by Dave Mathews Band.

    My email is greycheckers@gmail.com
    Contact me anytime. Thanks!

    Hello. I have 4 children and they ALL jump on their beds. I scold them for doing so because jumping on the bed is not good for the bed. But once in a while, I think about it and I know that when I was little, I enjoyed jumping on the bed too. So I can't really blame them.

    When I was 9 or 10 I tried to do a standing front tuck on my bed. I landed the flip but broke the bed. :) I was jumping on a bed in a hotel with my teammates and broke the bed. Our coach came in the room, and we pretended nothing happened even though the bed was leaning pretty badly. That is one of my favorite swimming memories.

  22. We definitely jump on beds here and got reprimanded for doing so at Nana's house last week! I'd love to buy Mercy by Duffy...seems like a good jumping song.

    I'm a guy, so I might get flamed for this, but I really like Lady GaGa's music. I would really like to get her new album.
