For every three nights that you stay at a (fairly extensive) list of participating hotels and resorts between 1/1/27 and 3/31/27, you’ll earn a free night award, up to a total of five. Sounds simple, right?

There are two catches, however. First, you have to register for the promo by 9/30/26, three months before the first eligible stay can take place. More significantly, the free nights that you earn from the promotion are only valid until 6/20/27, meaning you might have as little as three months to use them once they’re in your account.

The Deal

• Stay three nights at participating resorts in Latin America and the Caribbean between January 1 and March 31, 2027, and earn one Category 1-4 Free Night Award
  • Must register by 9/30/26
  • You can earn a maximum of five free night awards from this promotion
  • Valid for stays completed between 1/1/257 and 3/31/27
  • Free nights from promotion expire 6/30/27
  • See a full list of participating properties here

Key Terms

• You must register for the promotion between August 3, 2026 and September 30, 2026 to participate.
• Only Eligible Nights at participating Hyatt resorts in Latin America and the Caribbean completed after registration and between January 1, 2027 and March 31, 2027 (“Promotion Period”) will count towards this promotion.
• See list of participating Hyatt resorts here
• Beginning on your first Eligible Stay after registration and during the Promotion Period, you will receive one (1) Category 1-4 Free Night Award for every three (3) Eligible Nights at participating Hyatt resorts in Latin America and the Caribbean.
• Free Night Awards earned under this promotion must be redeemed by June 30, 2027.
• A maximum of five (5) Free Night Awards may be earned under this promotion. For the purpose of this promotion, an “Eligible Night” is defined as any night where a member is paying an Eligible Rate or redeems a free night award.
• If a stay has Eligible Nights during the Promotion Period but is not completed during the Promotion Period, the stay must be completed by June 30, 2027, in order to have those Eligible Nights on that stay that were completed after registration and during the Promotion Period count for this promotion.
• Only the room occupied by the member will count toward this promotion.

Quick Thoughts

There are just over 100 properties participating in this promotion. While the lion’s share are all-inclusives (because that’s the majority of Hyatt’s footprint in Mexico and the Caribbean), there is also a smattering of normal hotels like Hyatt Regency, Hyatt Centric, and the Unbound Collection.

On the surface, getting a free night for every three nights that you stay is an excellent promotion; after all, the awards can be used for a property costing up to 25,000 points per night now that Hyatt’s using a new award chart.

The main issue is the expiry. Normally, Hyatt-issued free night awards are valid for six months from the date of issue, an irritating policy in and of itself. However, these free night certificates have a hard expiration date of June 30th, regardless of when you earn them. The terms say that it could take 2-3 weeks to receive the award (it will probably be faster), so if your stay isn’t completed until the end of March, you could have less than three months to use your promo award. ¡No me gusta!

The other weird facet of this promo is that there’s such a long gap between registration and when the promotion actually starts, somewhere between 3 and 4 months. I imagine at least some folks won’t read all the way and assume that nights that they’re spending in November and December are going to count.

All that said, if you’re already planning to be in the area (which many are between January and March) and can use the certificates before June, it could be a very good promo, especially since award nights count towards it and paid nights will still earn normal rewards as usual on your stays.

Lufthansa Miles can be surprisingly valuable; we’ve seen economy fares between Europe and the US for 88 miles, business class for as few as 10K, and its monthly promos can be excellent. That said, over the last couple of years, we’ve seen an 80K offer come around regularly, and the bonus has been as high as 100K (although not since 2023).

Noteworthy perks: Cardmembers receive a companion ticket and two complimentary Lufthansa Business Lounge vouchers after first purchase and each year after paying the annual fee

Quick Thoughts

I have a decent stash of Lufthansa Miles from a booking.com promo a couple of years ago, and one of the big headaches of the program is that miles have a hard expiration date of ~3 years, unless you have elite status OR the credit card. Given that, I’ll eventually get this card and always have an eye on the welcome offer so that I can protect my existing miles while adding some additional heft to my “buying” power with a welcome bonus.

However, Miles & More is still a relatively niche program for many North Americans, since it doesn’t partner with any of the major transferable currencies besides Rove. That makes this credit card, or actually crediting flights to Lufthansa, your main method of topping off your miles. It goes without saying that this would be slow going at 1x unless you are a heavy spender (and if you are, you probably shouldn’t be using this card). As I noted above, Lufthansa does have some very good sweet spots, but for most folks there won’t be many ways to easily replenish the coffers after going through the miles from the initial welcome offer, outside of transferring from Rove.

If the recent promotion to earn additional points for purchases paid for with payment platform Paze was not yet enough to interest you in checking out the platform, there’s a new promotion out now whereby you can get $10 back on $10 or more, up to $100 back on every eligible card you have (which includes both credit and debit cards across most of the major banks and many credit unions and other financial institutions). Even Discover cards, which have been moved to Capitalone.com, are now showing as eligible for this promotion. 

There are now some major restrictions on the retailers and types of transactions that this promotion can be used for now. Most significantly, the Paze checkout option is no longer available for gift cards via Newegg and Clover.

I imagine that will make Paze wildly more popular because not only do you have the opportunity to potentially earn additional points per dollar on select cards, but you have the opportunity to get $100 back on a wide range of cards that you probably already have in your wallet.

Paze is a payment platform similar to PayPal. At select merchants, during checkout, you’ll see Paze as a payment method option. Only a limited number of merchants accept Paze so far, but with Paze coming from the same company behind Zelle, that will likely continue to expand.

Some sites like Newegg accept Paze and sell many third-party gift cards, which could certainly make this useful. In fact, Dan’s Deals has identified a range of merchants for whom it is possible to purchase $10 gift cards, which will surely make this promotion very useful for folks who don’t mind dealing with numerous small-denomination gift cards. I expect that some of those $10 gift cards may sell out sooner rather than later, so if you’re interested in taking advantage of this, it’s probably worth considering that list while you can. I also imagine that loading your Dunkin’ account in the Dunkin’ app should work if you’re able to check out with Paze, though I haven’t checked to see if that’s possible in my app.

I did see the $10 back on $10 reflected when using Paze to check out at Newegg just now (I bought a $10 Uber gift card).

In an email from a marketing representative, City Experiences was highlighted as a participating merchant. I hadn’t heard of City Experiences before, but it appears to be a tour booking website (think Viator, but with a website that looks much less modern). Unfortunately, it seems to only be available in select cities; however, there are experiences that start at just over $10. It’s certainly possible that you’ll find something relatively inexpensive to do if you need additional ideas for using credits.

Overall, this certainly seems like quite an incentive to give the Paze payment platform a try. I tend to avoid most third-party digital wallets, particularly because they sometimes interfere with card-linked offers. However, I’ll certainly be checking Paze out now.

Caesars also has an Amex Offer for 20% off either $200 or $400. Both of these could be used together on the same stay by splitting the tender at checkout, creating the opportunity for significant savings.

The Deal

• Earn 10% cash back at Caesars Rewards select properties only in Las Vegas, Reno, and Lake Tahoe with a new Chase Offer.
  • $50 cash back maximum.
  • Expires 8/31/26.

Key Terms

• Offer expires 8/31/2026.
• Offer valid one time only.
• Offer only valid on purchases made directly with the merchant.
• Offer only valid on room rate and room charges. Excludes gift card purchase, pools, lounges, bars, and other amenities.
• Offer valid in-store or online.
• Offer valid only at Caesars Rewards select destinations; Caesars Palace Las Vegas, Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace, The Vanderpump Hotel, Paris Las Vegas, Planet Hollywood, Horseshoe Las Vegas, Flamingo Las Vegas, Harrah’s Las Vegas, and LINQ Hotel; Eldorado Resort Casino Reno, Silver Legacy Resort Casino Reno, and Circus Circus Reno; Harrah’s Lake Tahoe and Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe.
• Excludes all Caesars Rewards hotels outside of Las Vegas, Reno, and Lake Tahoe.
• Reservations must be made directly through Caesars Rewards by phone, online at US website caesars.com/book, or individual property websites.
• Offer redemption is awarded as a statement credit on the first qualifying transaction amount.
• Payment must be made on or before 8/31/2026.
• Cash back will be awarded when final payment is completed.

Quick Thoughts

This Chase Offer could stack indirectly with both the current Caesars Amex Offers, provided the payment is made within the appropriate timeframe.

Although payment must be made before 8/31 to qualify, many properties charge a partial deposit, and I’ve had luck in the past calling to trigger offers like this by calling to make a prepayment on room charges (YMMV).

Don’t forget that you can delve into even more stackery by clicking through from a shopping portal. Check rates here, and it’s also worth checking to see if you’re targeted for something from Capital One Shopping, like this offer for $75 back on a $225+ stay.

The Deal

• Earn a $20 statement credit after using your enrolled eligible consumer Platinum Card® to spend a minimum of $60 in one or more purchases online at Walmart.com.
  • Limit of 2 statement credits (total of $40).
  • Other variations may exist, including $15 off of $50 and $25 off of $100.
  • Expires 9/2/26

Key Terms

• Offer valid online only at US website Walmart.com or through the Walmart mobile app. V
• Valid on Walmart pickup and delivery purchases made online at Walmart.com.
• Excludes Walmart+ membership purchases.
• Not valid on purchases shipped outside of the US.
• Excludes in-store purchases , bulk gift cards & e-gift cards , layaway purchases, insurance services, auto services, pharmacy, protection plans, home services, and recurring subscription services (for example, Beauty Box and Baby Box).
• Excludes purchases made on third party and affiliate websites associated with walmart.com (such as, but not limited to, Walmart Contacts, Walmart Checks, Walmart Photo Services, Walmart Stationary, and Walmart Moneygram)
• Valid only on purchases made in US dollars.

Quick Thoughts

Based on the data points that I’m seeing, this appears to be a widely-targeted offer. My wife and I each had it, but it only showed up on our personal Platinum cards. This is an easy one to take advantage of, even though it’s only valid online. There aren’t a ton of excluded products, and you can reach the $60 threshold in multiple transactions.

Capital One is out with a whole slew of new, very tempting merchant deals that are effectively giving 50%+ back on modest purchase amounts when you click through the offer on your credit card profile.

The deals I am seeing on my account are primarily 1,000 miles back on $20+ in purchases, 1,500 miles back on $30 in purchases, or 2,000 miles back on $40 in purchases. Current retailers include: Sam’s Club, CVS, Home Depot, Lyft, Priceline, Staples, Hotels.com, and many more. Folks with cash back cards may see dollar amounts instead of miles.

The miles that you earn can be redeemed towards travel purchases at a rate of 1 cent per point or transferred to one of Capital One’s transfer partners for even more value (we currently value Capital One miles at 1.45 cents each).

The Deal

• Capital One Offers has a variety of improved spending deals that can get you 50% or more back from your purchase in the form of cash or miles
  • Offers are available both in-store and online, depending on the retailer
  • Check exclusions before making purchases
  • Most seem to expire on 8/7/26, although any individual offer might be gone before then
  • You can only have three in-store offers active at one time
  • Retailers include:
    • eBay
    • Sam’s Club
    • Lyft
    • Home Depot
    • CVS
    • Expedia
    • Dollar General
    • Staples
    • Priceline
    • Hotels.com
    • Many more

Direct Link to Capital One Offers (you must log in to your Capital One account to see yours and click through)

Quick Thoughts

You must have a Capital One card to be eligible for Capital One Offers, unlike the Capital One Shopping portal, which anyone can use. However, it still functions more or less like any other shopping portal, where you click a link and make your purchase.

Capital One specifically states that you can use a non-Capital One card online and receive the incentive. However, we have heard from numerous folks over the years who have had issues getting the offer fulfilled when they used another bank’s card if the offer doesn’t track. In-store, you must use the Capital One card that you added the offer to in order to trigger it.

This has the potential to be a great deal, especially given the low purchase thresholds required. Most of the terms exclude gift cards. I have no idea if, as often happens with Chase or Amex Offers, you’ll still be able to trigger the offers with an in-store gift card purchase, but I’d avoid doing it online (I’d love to hear others’ experiences in the comments).

This time around, Chase and Marriott are splitting the difference, offering four free night certificates after $3,000 in eligible purchases within the first three months. Each award is valid for a night costing up to 50,000 points (though you can top off with up to 25,000 additional points per night.

In addition, Chase is running a spending offer for Boundless cardholders that gives them a $50 statement credit when they spend $250 with airlines between 7/1/26 and 12/31/26 and another $50 statement credit after spending $250 with airlines between 1/1/27 and 6/30/27.

This offer is currently available via referral links. If you have the capacity to do a household referral, it will add even more points to the total haul.

Quick Thoughts

The Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card can easily be worth the cost of its annual fee, given the annual 35K free night certificate, which can be topped off with up to an additional 25,000 points. I have had a number of situations where a 35K certificate has gotten me a room selling for $300-$400 per night.

This is the first time that I can remember seeing a four-certificate offer, which makes me wonder – could we eventually see one with six awards instead of five? In an event, this one comes with free night certificates worth up to 50,000 points (and you can top them off with up to 25,000 additional points per night). At that level, it is very easy to find hotels that are otherwise charging more than $300 per night (and quite a bit more in some cases).

However, there are some downsides. For starters, the free night certificates are valid for 1 year from the date of issuance. Also, certificates are less flexible than points since you can’t split up a single certificate to book multiple nights.

It’s worth double-checking the Marriott credit card eligibility matrix below before applying to be sure that you are eligible for a specific Marriott credit card. Unlike Amex, Chase WILL do a hard pull, regardless of whether or not you’re eligible.

Quick Thoughts

The points totals on these offers are essentially the same as the previous versions, but the minimum spend required is ~25% less, AND each card comes with a statement credit in addition to the bonus points, taking a decent bit out of the first-year annual fees.

The $250 price tag on the Bevy card mystifies me. Unlike the cheaper $95 Marriott cards, it has no anniversary free night certificate and gives you the same amount of annual elite night credits. The only additional perks it has are (fairly meaningless) Marriott Gold status and a 1,000-point bonus on all Marriott stays. It earns 4x at restaurants and supermarkets, but only up to $15K in spend per year. I don’t get it.

The Bonvoy Brilliant card has significantly more appeal (to go with the higher price tag), as the card includes an annual 85K free night certificate, $25 in monthly dining credits, and 25 yearly elite night credits that stack with those you get from the Marriott business card. Additionally, the card comes with Marriott Platinum status and its free breakfast benefit (although good luck figuring out if your breakfast is actually free).

As always, remember to consult the Marriott Oracle of Destiny (see below) to find out if you’re eligible for a new Marriott card.

Quick Thoughts

At first glance, this offer doesn’t look very strong, given that you can transfer to Aeroplan from all of the major transferable currencies. If you’re after 100,000 Aeroplan points, there are a multitude of ways to get there with far less than $20K spend.

On the other hand, the Aeroplan card certainly has some appeal. With $15K spend, you can keep 25K status, and the card earns 3x at grocery stores and on dining, plus 500 points with each $2K spent up to $6K per month. Given all that, it certainly isn’t an unreasonable card to use for those categories.

If you would already consider using this as a primary grocery and/or dining card, then meeting the $20K spend in the first 12 months to unlock the second piece of the bonus may be simple, and that additional bonus is essentially gravy.

Keep in mind that Air Canada elite status offers expanded award availability and better pricing on flights operated by Air Canada. Additionally, Chase Aeroplan cardholders can currently redeem Aeroplan points to “pay yourself back” for travel purchases at a value of 1.25c per point. That could certainly have a large draw, and it makes the bonus categories potentially even more appealing.

I’m a big fan of the Aeroplan program and Aeroplan points, but as noted above, there are lots of other ways to earn Aeroplan points. Amex has continued to provide opportunities for excellent welcome bonuses, so for the time being, I think I would be more likely to continue to keep an eye out for their no lifetime language offers.

The Deal

• Earn double elite night credits with IHG One Rewards.
  • Valid on stays completed by 9/29/26
  • Five bonus elite nights maximum

Direct link to registration

Key Terms

• The “Up to ‍5‍ Bonus Elite Night Credits” promotional offer (the “Offer”) provides you with an opportunity to earn one “Bonus Elite Night Credit” for each Offer-Qualifying Room Night stayed during the Offer Period, up to a maximum of ‍five‍ ‍(5)‍ Bonus Elite Night Credits. For each “Bonus Elite Night Credit” you earn under the Offer, you will be credited with an additional Elite Qualifying Night for purposes of determining Elite membership status and Milestone Rewards earned under the IHG One Rewards program in 2‍0‍2‍6.
• “Bonus Elite Night Credits” do not qualify as Rollover Nights or as Qualifying Nights for any other purpose or benefit under the IHG One Rewards program.
• After registering, a member can earn up to a maximum of five (5) Bonus Elite Night Credits under this Offer, as follows: one (1) Bonus Elite Night Credit will be awarded to the member’s IHG One Rewards account after each Offer-Qualifying Room Night stay during the Offer Period. For example, if a member has stays that result in a total of three (3) Offer-Qualifying Room Nights during the Offer Period, the member would earn three (3) Bonus Elite Night Credits. These Bonus Elite Night Credits are in addition to any base Elite Qualifying Nights the member earns for their stays. As a result, in the above example, in addition to the three (3) Bonus Elite Night Credits, the member would also be credited with three (3) base Elite Qualifying Nights, effectively giving the member credit for 6 Elite Qualifying Nights towards earning Elite status and Milestone Rewards in 2026.
• To be an “Offer-Qualifying Room Night” under this Offer, the room night must fall within the Offer Period and must be part of a Promotion Eligible Qualifying Stay. The “Offer Period” is through September 29, 2‍0‍2‍6‍. Room nights outside of the Offer Period are not included, and room nights that are part of a stay that was completed prior to registration for the Offer also are not included.
• For purposes of this Offer, a “Promotion Eligible Qualifying Stay” is defined as a minimum one (1) night stay at a participating hotel booked under a Qualifying Rate, with a total spend exceeding $30 USD (or local equivalent) per night.
• Participating hotels include all IHG Hotels & Resorts, with the exception of Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas and Iberostar Beachfront Resorts that do not participate in the IHG One Rewards program.
• Stays booked using Reward Nights or Points & Cash are not Promotion Eligible Qualifying Stays for purposes of this Offer.
• Bookings made through online travel agencies or other reservation sites such as b‍o‍o‍k‍i‍n‍g‍.‍c‍o‍m or e‍x‍ped‍i‍a‍.‍c‍o‍m also do not qualify under this Offer.
• If more than one member who registered for the Offer checks into the same room, only one member is eligible to earn Bonus Elite Night Credits under this Offer based on those nights that qualify.
• If a member books more than one room on the same night, the member will only receive credit towards this Offer for only one of the rooms that also meets the requirements of an Offer-Qualifying Room Night.

Quick Thoughts

IHG seems to run these targeted promos every year, though usually it’s for a maximum of 10 bonus nights instead of 5. It can be useful even if you’re not interested in earning IHG elite night credits, thanks to the Milestone Rewards feature IHG launched a few years ago.

Starting at 20 elite night credits, you can pick rewards for every 10 nights you stay, with benefits including bonus points, food & beverage credits, confirmable suite upgrade awards, and lounge access.

As mentioned, this appears to be a targeted promotion, so there’s no guarantee that you’ll be eligible for this offer. It’s worth trying to register, though, just in case.

Note that only paid nights costing $30+ before taxes and fees are eligible, so award nights and Points & Cash rates won’t earn the double elite night credits.

Comments

• It would be fantastic if when you guys send out these emails ... by Mark

 

While that’s the lowest rate that Hilton sells its points for, note that our Reasonable Redemption Value for Hilton points is now only 0.35 cpp, so only buy them if you know for sure that you’ll get good value out of them.

This bonus is sometimes targeted, so it’s possible that you’ll see a slightly different offer (let us know in the comments if you do).

The Deal

• Buy Hilton Honors points for as low as 0.5 cents each:
  • 5,000+ = 90% bonus (0.5cpp)
• Direct link to offer (our affiliate link)

Key Terms

• Points purchased do not count towards elite tier qualification.
• All purchases must be made through the Purchase page on HiltonHonors.com.
• The 90% Points bonus campaign is available for purchases of 3,000 or more Points.
• Members may purchase a maximum of 160,000 points per calendar year.
• All purchases are non-refundable.
• Points will be posted to the recipient’s Hilton Honors account within 48 hours of the completed transaction.
• Price includes all applicable fees. GST/HST will be charged to Canadian residents. QST will be charged to Quebec residents.
• Purchased points do not count towards Honors status upgrades.

Best Uses for Hilton Points

• 5th night free. Use points to book 5 nights for the price of 4. This benefit is valid on longer stays, so if staying 10 nights, you’ll get both the 5th and 10th nights free. Hilton status is required to take advantage of this benefit, but you can get that with the no-annual-fee Hilton credit card.
• Save money on low category hotels. Hilton hotel awards start at 5,000 points per night, but those can be very difficult to find. 10,000- and 15,000-point properties are more common.  These would cost $50 or $75 when booked with purchased points when Hilton is offering a 100% bonus, or less if using the 5th night free benefit.
• Stay at high-end properties for less. Most of Hilton’s top-tier properties top out at 150,000 points per night for a standard room, although some go as high as 250,000 points. When points are being sold with a 100% bonus, 150,000 points would cost you $750, which isn’t cheap, but it is less than the cash rate at many properties charging that many points.
• Pool points with up to 10 other members. Hilton allows members to create a pool with up to 10 people to share points back and forth. This makes the effective purchase limit much higher when combining forces with other members.

Things to Know About Hilton Points

• When you book nights with points, you will not earn points for the stay unless Hilton is running a promotion that awards bonus points per night/stay, which includes award nights.
• Most hotel taxes are not charged on award stays, so this can make the value of buying points even better. Arguably, this factor and the one above roughly cancel each other out.
• Resort and destination fees are waived on award stays. This alone can make it worthwhile to use points instead of cash for your bookings.

Quick Thoughts

For those who actually fly Virgin Atlantic, the Red Rewards card has some features that could make it worthwhile: 3x on Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Hotels and Virgin Voyages, 2x on groceries, dining, streaming services and EV charging, and 1x everywhere else.

For every $2,500 you spend on the card, you earn 25 Tier Points towards Virgin status, capped at 50 Tier Points maximum per month. Spending $5,000 every month on the card would earn you 600 Tier Points over the course of the year; enough for Silver status (which requires 400 Tier Points), and getting you 60% of the way to Gold status (which requires 1,000 Tier Points).

The Virgin Red card also offers your pick of one of the following benefits after $15,000 spend in a calendar year and a second after $30,000 spend in a calendar year:

• Voucher for a companion seat or cabin upgrade
• One free night or suite upgrade at Virgin Hotels
• Up to $300 Bar Tab credit or Blue Extras perks package on Virgin Voyages

If you’re spending your way to status and can also make use of one or two of those big spend bonus rewards, this card becomes much more interesting.

The card features a ‘book two nights, get third night free’ benefit at Virgin Hotels properties once per year and 2,500 bonus points when adding an authorized user (limit of four). When it comes time to renew, you’ll earn 5,000 points, which helps offset some of the $99 annual fee.

However, remember that Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Red are transfer partners of every single transferable currency: Amex Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Citi ThankYou, Capital One Miles, Bilt Rewards and Wells Fargo. Most of those have at least one card where you can earn somewhere near 80,000 points that transfer to Virgin, especially when you consider the frequent transfer bonuses that Virgin provides.

Unless you’re looking for quick Virgin points and/or status, those are probably better places to start.

The Deal

• Spend $350+ on one or more rentals at Hertz Corporate-owned locations in the US & get $75 back as a statement credit with a targeted Amex Offer.

Key Terms

• Expires September 30, 2026.
• Offer valid only for vehicle rentals made directly with participating Hertz Corporate owned locations in the US.
• Rentals can be made through the Hertz U.S. website hertz.com, the Hertz mobile app, Hertz U.S. phone reservations, or in-person at participating Hertz Corporate owned locations in the U.S.
• Must pick up and return rental to Hertz Corporate owned locations only. Visit hertz.com/rentacar/location for information on Corporate owned locations.
• Eligible rentals must be paid by 9/30/2026 in order to qualify.
• Excludes independently licensed locations, e-Toll charges, Hertz Car Sales, and Rent2Buy.
• Not valid for bookings made through travel agents or affiliate booking sites.

Quick Thoughts

This offer only appears to be available on American Express Platinum cards® and only on the vanilla version—not the Schwab or Morgan Stanley versions.

It’s a good rebate on $350 spend as it gets you just over 20% back. It’s also helpful that it’s valid on cumulative spend, so if you have two or more cheaper rentals, you’ll still earn the $75 statement credit provided those multiple rentals total at least $350.

Note that only Corporate-owned locations are eligible, plus it’s only valid on rentals in the US.

This was previously due to end on December 31, 2025, but it’s since been extended, although there’s now no expiry date listed.

The Deal

• Earn 50,000 bonus Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards points when taking out a mortgage with Rate.com.
• Direct link to offer.

Key Terms

• Credit of 50,000 Atmos Rewards points will post directly to member account within 6-8 weeks of closing with Rate.
• This offer is only available to clients who call the dedicated benefit phone number or go through the dedicated benefit website.
• Awarded miles can only be credited to the lead borrower or co-borrower’s Atmos Rewards account.
• This offer cannot be retroactively applied to previously closed loans or loans already in process. Rate reserves the right to cancel this offer at any time.
• Not valid with any other discount or promotion.

Quick Thoughts

50,000 bonus points is a great reward seeing as it’s rare to get an opportunity to earn points/miles when taking out a new mortgage or refinancing an existing one.

A key thing to bear in mind is that it’s not going to be worth going after this offer if Rate.com’s interest rate and/or fees mean that your repayments would cost more than the value of the points compared to what’s available to you through another lender.

What’s particularly nice about this offer is that it doesn’t appear to be an “up to” 50,000 points offer, whereby you earn 1 mile for every, say, $10 you borrow. Instead, it seems to be a 50,000 point lump sum regardless of how much you borrow. That could make it particularly enticing for someone who’s refinancing with a low remaining balance on their mortgage. Again though, make sure the rewards are worth the fees you’d be paying for doing that.

Be aware that Rate.com is one of Alaska Airline’s shopping partners where you don’t earn Status Points on a 3:1 basis. That means that although you’ll earn 50,000 redeemable Atmos Rewards points, you won’t also receive 16,667 Status Points.

The Deal

• Earn 6X AAdvantage miles + 6X Loyalty Points from SimplyMiles when paying with a linked card at Giant Food.
• Direct link to SimplyMiles.

Key Terms

• Expires August 31, 2026.
• Must activate offer.
• May be redeemed 2 time(s) by the offer end date.
• Max award is 465 miles + 465 Loyalty points.

Quick Thoughts

In case you’re not familiar with SimplyMiles, it’s a program that awards both redeemable American Airlines AAdvantage miles and Loyalty Points towards elite status in the AAdvantage program when paying with a linked card. It’s important to be aware that you can only link Mastercard credit cards, although they don’t have to be American Airlines Mastercards—they can be any type of Mastercard.

This particular offer is valid at the Giant Food chain that has stores in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C. There’s a separate Giant grocery store chain that’s owned by the same parent company, but which has a different logo and operates in different states to those listed above (Pennsylvania is one of those other states). The eligible Giant chain has the logo in the screenshot above.

The terms state that you can use this offer up to two times, with a limit of 465 miles and 465 Loyalty Points. I’m not sure if that means you can earn up to 465 miles and 465 Loyalty Points in each transaction, or if that’s the total cap across two transactions. If you’ve taken advantage of this or a similar offer before, please let us know in the comments below how that worked.

There are sometimes Citi Offers for Giant too. Citi Offers don’t stack with SimplyMiles offers—you can only use one or the other. Sometimes when you activate a SimplyMiles offer, the Citi Offer disappears and vice versa. As a result, it’s best to load/activate whichever offer you’re interested in first, which is particularly important if you use a service like CardPointers which autoloads Citi Offers.

Seeing as Giant Food is a grocery store, the best card to pay with will generally be one that offers bonus rewards on grocery spend like the Citi Strata Premier℠ card, or perhaps the IHG One Rewards Premier credit card if you were targeted for the 7X spending offer this quarter as that’s also a Mastercard.

The Deal

• Book a 3+ night hotel stay through AARP/Expedia & get a $75 gift card free.
• Direct link to offer.

Key Terms

• Book by August 31, 2026 for stays through October 31, 2026.
• Once you have completed your trip, you will receive a redemption email from Digital Rewards, Incentives & Payments Made Easy (noreply@tangocard.com) with instructions on how to redeem your $75 Gift Card. Redemption emails may take up to 45 days to receive.

Quick Thoughts

The $75 gift card you get is a Tango Card. That’s a multi-brand gift card that can be redeemed for gift cards for most major gift card brands, as well as for Visa and Mastercard gift cards, and cashout via PayPal. That means the $75 is effectively as good as cash, thereby giving you $25 per night rebate if booking a three night stay.

Bear in mind that bookings through AARP/Expedia will be classed as an Online Travel Agency (OTA) booking. That means that you won’t earn elite night credits, won’t earn hotel points, and you won’t receive elite status benefits. This type of offer is therefore best used for stays at independent hotels, when you don’t care about earning hotel points, where elite benefits don’t matter (e.g. the stay would be at a hotel brand that offers free breakfast to all guests), etc.

The Deal

• Spend $325+ in a single transaction with Hertz & get $75 back as a statement credit with a targeted Citi Offer.

Key Terms

• Expires August 31, 2026.
• Offer valid only for vehicle rentals made directly with participating Hertz Corporate owned locations in the US.
• Payments for rentals at independently licensed locations or booked through travel agents or affiliate booking sites, e-Toll charges, Hertz Car Sales, and Rent2Buy do not qualify.
• May be redeemed 1 time(s) by the offer end date.
• Rentals can be made through the Hertz US website hertz.com, the Hertz mobile app, Hertz US phone reservations, or in-person at participating Hertz Corporate owned locations in the US.
• Must pick up and return rental to Hertz Corporate owned locations only.
• Eligible rentals must be paid by 8/31/26 in order to qualify.
• Offer valid only on purchases made in US dollars.
• Offers cannot be combined or stacked with other offers.
• If a merchant processes your online order in separate transactions, you may only earn an award on the first processed transaction if it meets all other offer criteria.
• All offers are exclusively eligible when United States Dollars (USD) are used as the currency of transaction for qualifying redemptions. Offers redeemed using any other currency will not be valid.

Quick Thoughts

This Citi Offer can save you up to 23% on a Hertz rental which is a decent return, but be sure to note that it’s only valid on a single transaction costing $325 or more; cumulative spend of $325+ across two or more rentals won’t count.

A downside with this Citi Offer is that it’s only valid for Hertz rentals in the US, not overseas. I believe most—or all—Citi cards only offer secondary coverage when renting a car, so that’s something to bear in mind versus paying with a card that offers rental car coverage as primary coverage.

The terms state that the offer can’t be combined or stacked with other offers. It should still be possible to click through to Hertz from a shopping portal in order to earn those portal rewards. This restriction is more likely referring to other card-linked offers like a similar Hertz offer through SimplyMiles.

Quick Thoughts

While the award pricing here isn’t necessarily what I’d call mind-blowing, there is some decent pricing available, especially because in many cases the associated taxes/fees will be lower than when booking with many other airline programs.

For example, 20,000 points to/from Europe is close to as low as you’ll get. It’s slightly higher than the 18,750 miles you’ll pay when taking advantage of Flying Blue Promo Rewards, but the taxes/fees should be lower.

35,000 points to/from Sydney isn’t bad either. That said, when running a quick award search I found a decent amount of availability to Sydney booked through American Airlines AAdvantage that’s also at 35,000 miles, as well as lots more for 40,000 miles.

One of the benefits of booking with Atmos Rewards is that you earn Status Points on these partner flights, even though you’re booking with points.

Note that flights have to be booked by August 8 and that the discounted pricing is valid for different travel periods depending on your destination.

Quick Thoughts

A past Turo Amex Offer gave 20% back on up to $150 of spend. That was helpful if you were booking a cheap rental as there was no minimum spending threshold. This latest offer though does require a minimum $150 booking, the same as the Chase Offer and Citi Offer.

Bear in mind that Turo isn’t a conventional car rental company. That means your payment card(s) likely don’t provide cover for the rental like they might with rental companies like National, Avis, Hertz, etc. Turo will have coverage options during the booking process.

Turo’s partnerships with both United and Delta have now ended, but you can click through to Turo from Rakuten, Capital One Shopping, or Capital One Offers in order to earn additional rewards on your rental.

There’s also a Turo credit available on a couple of different American Airlines credit cards at the moment which should hopefully stack with the Citi Offer.

The Deal

• Get 10% back on a single Lyft ride with a targeted Citi Offer.
• Direct link to Citi Offers.

Key Terms

• Expires September 30, 2026.
• May be redeemed 1 time by the offer end date.
• Max award is a $10 statement credit.
• PayPal purchases are not eligible for reward.
• Offers cannot be combined or stacked with other offers.

Quick Thoughts

Getting 10% back on a ride costing up to $100 is a pretty good deal if you don’t have any other cards that offer a discount on Lyft rides.

The terms state that this offer won’t stack with other offers. That’s referring to other card-linked offers like SimplyMiles—you can choose this Citi Offer or that SimplyMiles offer (if targeted), but not both.

However, it should stack with Lyft’s partnerships with other travel loyalty programs. Those are Alaska Airlines, Hilton, Bilt, and United; you can choose to earn with one of those, but not more than one.

There’s a targeted Lyft Chase Offer that’s also giving 10% back as a statement credit. Depending on which card(s) you have these various offers on, the Chase Offer might be a little more rewarding seeing as a number of Chase cards award bonus points for Lyft rides.
