Key Terms

• Spontaneous Escapes bookings are completely nonrefundable. They can not be changed or canceled.
• Book through 7/31/26 for travel from 8/1/26 to 8/31/26

Quick Thoughts

Spontaneous Escapes can sometimes represent very good value. Singapore offers these on routes where they don’t expect to sell out, but it can sometimes work out really well if you have plans to travel on a particular route. I’ve occasionally booked Spontaneous Escapes to fill in the gaps on near-term trips.

This month, for the first time in ages, there’s actually a business class redemption to Asia: Los Angeles to Tokyo for 79,800 miles one-way. Unfortunately, only the outbound direction is covered.

That said, we’re not wildly excited about Spontaneous Escapes because of the inflexibility of these bookings. Unlike normal Krisflyer award bookings, you can’t change or cancel them, so you need to be sure that you’re going to take the trip. Since you have to book by the end of this month and travel next month, there’s probably less risk than normal of changing plans.

Despite all that, it may be worth a quick look if you’ll be traveling a route Singapore Airlines serves next month.

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card is now once again out with an offer to earn 100,000 Ultimate Rewards points after spending $5,000 in the first three months. This marks a return to the best-ever offer on this card, and it comes alongside a complete refresh. The card now offers new bonus categories: 3X on gas and EV charging, and 3X on select vacation home brands, as well as other popular existing bonus categories like 2X on all travel. The annual hotel credit has also been bumped up to $100 back each year when you make a prepaid hotel booking of $100 or more through Chase Travel. If you’ve been thinking about this card but haven’t gotten it yet, now is probably the time.

Quick Thoughts

The Chase Sapphire Preferred Card has long been widely regarded as one of the best starter travel rewards credit cards in the hobby. That’s because of the flat 2x it offers on all travel, excellent travel protections, and a couple of other useful bonus categories.

The card has now been refreshed by bumping up its annual hotel credit, adding a credit for Global Entry, TSA PreCheck, or Nexus, and adding a couple of useful new bonus categories (read Greg’s take on those changes here). That’s all great news, and I think it will make this card a fantastic fit for most newcomers to this hobby (and still an excellent fit for many long-term rewards credit card enthusiasts).

The biggest negative change with today’s refresh is that transfers from Chase Ultimate Rewards to World of Hyatt are now 4:3 for new Chase Sapphire Preferred cardholders (down from 1:1), so you’ll need to transfer 4 Ultimate Rewards points to get 3 World of Hyatt points. This new transfer ratio applies to those who apply starting today (6/15/26). Those who had their cards open prior to June 15, 2026, will maintain a 1:1 transfer ratio until October 1, 2026, when the transfer ratio will become 4:3 for all Sapphire Preferred cardholders.

Overall, the Chase Sapphire Preferred remains a great card for the $95 annual fee price tag. It has been more than a year since we last saw this card offer 100,000 points, so if you’ve been interested in the Sapphire Preferred, now is probably a great time to consider it. I should add that we did see a very brief window last year where it was possible to earn additional bonus points from Rakuten by clicking through to apply for the Sapphire Preferred card. That offer expired a long time ago and only lasted a couple of days, but if you’re still on the fence about this card, you might want to keep an eye out for anything like that coming back.

The Deal

• Earn bonus MileagePlus miles when completing United Mile Play offers.

Direct link to see if you’re targeted

Key Terms

• Member must register for this promotion on or prior to August 28, 2026
• Only transactions initiated after registration and completed on or prior to August 28, 2026 will qualify toward satisfaction of the offer requirements.
• All flight activity for the applicable trip must be complete on or prior to August 28, 2026
• Each offer has a fare minimum per trip to be eligible (usually $200-$250)
•  “Trip” is defined as each unique travel itinerary as documented by United with a confirmation number.
• For this promotion, only dollars spent on the “fare” on eligible flights operated by United® and United Express® will qualify toward meeting spending milestones.
• Certain specialty tickets, including but not limited to unpublished, consolidator/bulk, group, tour and opaque fares, will not be counted towards spending milestones.
• Dollars spent on tickets purchased for flights operated by Star Alliance member airline or a United MileagePlus® partner airline with tickets issued by United (ticket number starting with “016”) will not qualify for this offer.
• The “fare” is the base fare of the ticket plus carrier-imposed surcharges, excluding any government-imposed taxes and surcharges. For tickets purchased in a currency other than U.S. dollars, we will convert the purchase to U.S. dollars using an industry-standard exchange rate.
• Flights on award travel tickets do not qualify for meeting the requirements of this offer.
• Bonus miles will post to your MileagePlus account six to eight weeks after the promotion ends on August 28, 2026.

Quick Thoughts

Mile Play offers vary from person to person – if you’re even targeted – so there’s not one single offer that’s applicable to everyone. It seems like, more and more, they send out offers in waves as opposed to all at once. In fact, neither my wife nor I have received one yet.

Stephen’s wife’s offer gives her a 10,000-mile bonus for becoming a United credit cardholder, 2,300 miles for linking her United and Lyft accounts (which is decent on its own), and 700 miles for opting into push notifications on the United app. If she does all three, she gets another 13K for a total of 26,000 miles.

There are a couple of important things to keep in mind about United Mile Play offers. The first is that the spending threshold for the flight(s) you need to take relates to the fare itself. There are various taxes and fees added when booking paid flights, but the fare and carrier-imposed surcharges must exceed the minimum threshold by themselves, excluding government-imposed taxes and fees.

Another key point to note is that qualifying flights must be booked after you’ve registered for the promotion. Nick once booked a United flight just a couple of days before being targeted for MilePlay. However, because that flight was booked before he registered for his MilePlay offer, it wasn’t eligible as a qualifying flight to meet the offer requirements. Thankfully, that was easy to remedy; the price hadn’t changed, so he was able to cancel and rebook to earn the bonus miles from the flight.

Quick Thoughts

It’s good to see a new batch of these targeted spending offers going out. You might receive an email about your cobranded card(s) giving one-click activation, but it’s worth trying to register using the links above even if you don’t get an email. That’s because in the past I’ve found that those sometimes work even if I haven’t received an email about it and even though the generic link said that I wasn’t targeted. That said, try using the generic chase.com/mybonus registration link too just in case.

Also be sure to make a note of which offer you’re registered for on each eligible card. After you’ve registered, if you try to enter your card details on a registration page it’ll tell you you’re already registered for a spending promotion, but it won’t detail which one it is, which is annoying. That said, you should be able to view the spending offer in that card’s list of Chase Offers (see image below for what it looks like). Thanks to reader Matt for highlighting this.

Thanks also to reader Prince for sharing a registration link that helped us extrapolate other registration links.

  • Spend $75 in select bill pay categories & get a $15 statement credit
    • Direct link to registration
  • Spend $150 in select bill pay categories & get a $15 statement credit

Quick Thoughts

There’s quite the range of spending requirements here, from as low as $75, all the way up to $900.

Depending on your bills, even the $900 spending requirement might not be hard to hit given the inclusion of spending categories like insurance and utilities.

• In reply to Taylor A. It is by Jay
• I can’t tell if it’s a one time credit? by Taylor A

 

It kicks off with an “early bird” bonus of 100% through July 30, 2026, then for a month after that you’ll get a 70% bonus. Either way though, neither bonus level is going to be worth taking advantage of.

The Deal & Key Terms

• Chase is offering the following bonuses when transferring Ultimate Rewards to IHG One Rewards:
  • 100% bonus from July 15-July 30, 2026
  • 70% bonus from July 31-August 31, 2026

Quick Thoughts

IHG frequently sells its points for 0.5 cents per point. In fact, there’s a sale on right now, although that does end tomorrow night (July 16). Outside of points sale periods, it’s often possible to buy IHG points for ~0.56 cents per point by booking a Points + Cash rate and then cancelling, although you do have to do the math on that as each Points + Cash threshold can give different value.

Based on the fact that IHG points can frequently be bought for 0.5 cents per point, that means that even with the 100% transfer bonus through July 30 you’d effectively only be redeeming your Ultimate Rewards points for 1 cent per point. It’s possible to do much better than that with your points on a 1:1 basis with other transfer partners, and even better than that when there are transfer bonuses of even 20%-30% with other programs, rather than 70%-100% with IHG.

The 100% bonus is only around for a couple of weeks, then it immediately gets replaced with a 70% bonus for a month. Needless to say, if the 100% bonus isn’t worth taking advantage of, the 70% bonus certainly won’t be.

The Deal

• Spend $500+ on room rate and room charges in one or more transactions at participating Hyatt properties in the US, Caribbean, & Latin America and get a $100 statement credit with a targeted Amex Offer.

Key Terms

• Expires November 15, 2026.
• Offer valid only at participating select Hyatt® properties in the US, Caribbean, & Latin America. Please reference americanexpress.com/hyatt-resorts-2026 to view participating properties.
• Reservations must be made directly through Hyatt online only at US website hyatt.com, through the World of Hyatt mobile app, at a Hyatt property, or with a Hyatt call center.
• Excludes all other Hyatt brand properties and timeshares.
• Offer not valid for purchases of gift cards or World of Hyatt points.
• Qualifying purchases must total a minimum of $500 USD, following conversion from a foreign currency.
• Offer only valid on room rate and room charges.
• Offer not valid for lodging stays that are paid for before the promotion start date or after the promotion end date.

Quick Thoughts

This is a handy Amex Offer if you’ll be visiting any of the eligible properties. Do note though that this isn’t valid at all Hyatt properties in the US, Caribbean, and Latin America. Instead, it’s a list of just over 130 resorts in those locations, the full list of which you can find here.

The offer is valid on both room rate and room charges. That means that even if you book an award stay, if you happen to charge $500 worth of incidentals from food, drink, spa treatments, parking, etc. to your room, that’ll also trigger the $100 statement credit. It’s also valid on more than one transaction, so if your cumulative spend across two or more stays at participating properties hits that $500 spending threshold, you’ll also get the statement credit.

If you have this Amex Offer on two or more household cards and you’ll be spending $1,000 or more, you could ask the hotel to split the cost of the charges across multiple cards in order to earn multiple credits.

Rove Miles will transfer to Qantas on a 1:1 basis and, even better, through August 14, 2026 you can get a 50% transfer bonus when transferring Rove Miles to your Qantas Frequent Flyer account.

The Deal

• Get a 50% transfer bonus when transferring Rove Miles to Qantas.

Key Terms

• Expires August 14, 2026 at 11:59pm EST.

Quick Thoughts

This is all great news—both the addition of Qantas as yet another Rove transfer partner, and the launch of a 50% transfer bonus to kick off the partnership.

As a reminder, Qantas is an existing transfer partner of Amex Membership Rewards, Citi ThankYou, and Capital One miles. Having a fourth major transferable points currency added to the mix gives you even more options if you want to book awards using Qantas’s loyalty program.

The best transfer bonuses we’ve ever seen to Qantas from other transferable points programs are a 33% bonus from Capital One back in 2019 and a targeted 30% bonus from Amex Membership Rewards, also back in 2019. Other than those, all other transfer bonuses have been for either 20% or 25%, so a 50% bonus is superb and makes booking awards with Qantas a potentially far more compelling option than normal seeing as it slashes the number of Rove Miles you need to transfer in by a third.

Update 7/9/26: Numerous reader reports in the comments say the bonus points are no longer posting, so this deal sadly seems to be dead.

~~

American Airlines is running a generous promotion at the moment, offering 25,000 bonus AAdvantage miles when you join AAdvantage Business and use promo code JOINA7.

Unfortunately, most one-person operations won’t be eligible, as the business must have at least five active travelers and spend at least $5,000 in a calendar year to trigger the bonus miles. However, a reader has confirmed that if you have the Citi® / AAdvantage Business World Elite Mastercard®, that waives those requirements and you’ll be eligible for the 25K miles.

The Deal

• Earn 25,000 American Airlines miles when you join AAdvantage Business and use promo code JOINA7.
• Direct link to offer.

Key Terms

• This is an exclusive offer available only to eligible businesses that successfully register in the AAdvantage Business program using promo code JOINA7 during the promotion period.
• This offer ends on July 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM CDT. All enrollments received after this date will not be eligible for the bonus miles offer.
• Each business is eligible for only one (1) enrollment bonus mile offer.
• Existing AAdvantage Business program members are not eligible for this offer.
• Enrollment bonus of 25,000 AAdvantage miles will be deposited to the eligible AAdvantage Business account within six (6) to eight (8) weeks following the successful enrollment in the AAdvantage Business program.
• AAdvantage Business members must meet program activity requirements to access bonus and earned program miles – including the bonus miles associated with this enrollment offer. The minimum requirements are 5 active travelers and $5,000 USD in eligible program travel from the active travelers in a calendar year. See AAdvantage Business Terms & Conditions for more details.
• All miles awarded in connection with this promotion will be bonus miles. Bonus miles do not count toward AAdvantage status qualification or AAdvantage Million Miler status.
• Bonus miles are subject to the AAdvantage program terms and conditions.
• This offer may not be combined with any other AAdvantage Business promotional enrollment offer. Only one enrollment promotional offer may be applied per eligible enrollment.

Quick Thoughts

At first glance, this seemed like a ridiculously generous offer, as the email from American Airlines initially made it seem like you’d get 25,000 bonus miles just for registering for the program. Sadly, that’s not the whole story based on the full terms and conditions.

That’s because you have to meet the program’s standard requirements to trigger the bonus. That involves having at least five active travelers and the business spending at least $5,000 in a calendar year.

However, reader Andrew has confirmed that if you have the Citi®/AAdvantage Business World Elite Mastercard®, those requirements are waived, and the 25K bonus miles will be awarded instantly. That makes this a no-brainer deal if you have that card.

Key Terms

• A “stay” is defined as two (2) or more consecutive nights spent at the same property, regardless of check-in and check-out activity.
• The 10% discount is available on bookings made by cash/credit card, Marriott Bonvoy points redemption, and a combination of cash & Marriott Bonvoy points redemption. Free Night Awards are excluded from this promotion.
• Registration is not required for this promotion.
• Save 10% per eligible stay at a participating home rental booked between July 13, 2026 (12:01 AM EST) – August 30, 2026 (11:59 PM EST) through the Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy website (“HVMB Platform”) for stays completed between July 17, 2026, and November 30, 2026.
• Stays of two (2) or more consecutive nights must be completed during the promotion earning period, beginning July 17, 2026, up to and including nights stayed on or before November 30, 2026.

A full cancellation and rebooking is required in order to make modifications to an original booking. Please carefully review the cancellation policy of your selected home before finalizing booking.

Quick Thoughts

Many Homes & Villas promotions have some kind of minimum spend requirement. This latest offer doesn’t require that, nor do you have to register for it. The main requirement is that you have to stay at least two consecutive nights and you have to book by August 20, although it’s valid on stays through the end of November 2026.

Click through from a shopping portal before making your reservation in order to earn rewards on the booking too. Capital One Shopping also often sends elevated cashback rates within a few days—or even hours—when perusing the Homes & Villas website with the portal’s browser extension installed.

The Deal

• Capital One Shopping is offering the following deals on a targeted basis:
  • Spend $100+ on a hotel or vacation rental stay & earn $100 cashback
  • Spend $100+ on event tickets & earn $100 cashback

Capital One Shopping referral

If you’re new to Capital One Shopping, you can earn $80 when joining (see this post for full details):

Key Terms

• Hotel/vacation rental offer
  • To earn rewards, the spend requirement must be met in a single transaction on non-excluded items, after discounts, store credits, redemption dollars are applied, and before taxes, fees, and add-ons like travel insurance are applied.
  • Rewards will be applied to your account 60-90 days after your hotel stay has been completed.
  • Not eligible for cancelled bookings.
  • Bonus offer valid for properties booked through Capital One Shopping’s Hotels Price Comparison Portal only.
  • Limit one of each Activation Bonus offer type.
• Event tickets offer
  • Ticket purchase must be made following completed search on event ticket deals page, using corresponding search results page.
  • Offer only available on first ticket purchase.
  • Limit one of each Activation Bonus offer type.

Quick Thoughts

Both of these are extremely generous offers, especially if you can find a hotel stay or event tickets that cost just over $100 before taxes and fees.

Note that for the hotel/vacation rental offer, you have to book through the Hotels Price Comparison Portal from Capital One Shopping; you can’t just click through to, say, Hotels.com and book a $100+ hotel stay and have that count. Similarly for the event tickets offer if you’re targeted, you have to book through Capital One Shopping’s event ticket deals page, not by clicking through to a site like StubHub or Ticketmaster.

It seems like these offers are appearing on the home page of the Capital One Shopping website on both desktop and mobile, but aren’t showing up in the Capital One Shopping app.

As a reminder, the $100 cashback you’ll earn isn’t pure cashback in that you can’t redeem it via ACH, PayPal, etc. Instead, you have to redeem for a selection of third party gift cards, the list of which is also targeted. That makes it worth less than $100 of regular cashback, but these are still excellent deals nonetheless.

The Deal

• Buy Choice Privileges points at a discount:
  • 8,000+ points = 45% discount
• Direct link to offer.

Key Terms

• Transactions must be completed between 12 AM EDT July 14, 2026 and 11:59 PM EDT July 20, 2026 to be eligible for this discount offer.
• There is an 8,000 point purchase minimum that applies.
• Must be a Choice Privileges Rewards Program member; Points will be posted to your Choice Privileges account within 24 hours after your transaction is complete.
• Purchased points do not count toward Elite Status or Lifetime Elite Gold Status.
• Transactions are final and non-refundable.
• Offer may not be valid for all members.
• Price includes all applicable fees.
• A GST/HST charge applies to purchases by Canadian residents.
• An additional QST charge applies to purchases by Quebec residents.
• Purchased points are not refundable and are applicable towards all Choice Privileges rewards.

Quick Thoughts

If you’re interested in buying Choice points with this latest sale, it’s worth checking the pricing available on your account as there are sometimes targeted discounts that are higher or lower than other people see on their accounts.

We peg the Reasonable Redemption Value of Choice Privileges points at 0.75 cents per point (recently raised from 0.67 cents per point). That’s a higher value than the price available with this latest sale, plus there are opportunities to get outsized value with Choice points, so it shouldn’t take much effort at all to come out ahead when buying points with this latest sale.

Despite these points purchases being processed by Points.com, a reader pointed out in the past that you earn 5X or 10X by buying these points with a Choice credit card (depending on which of the cards you have), as it treats it the same as spending at Choice properties.

You can also click through from a shopping portal to earn additional rewards on the purchase.

There’s a new offer that’s similar, but it offers an even better discount of $75, albeit with a higher spending requirement of $400.

The Deal

• Spend $400+ on a hotel booking with Citi Travel & get $75 off instantly.

Key Terms

• Reservations must be made by the primary cardmember but can be made for the benefit and in the name of either the primary cardmember or another person.
• Reservations made through any party or channel other than Citi Travel or 1 833 737 1288 (TTY: 711) are not eligible for the $75 off a single hotel stay promotion.
• The $75 off a single hotel stay promotion will not be applied to any existing bookings made before 07/07/2026.
• The $75 off hotel stay promotion will be applied to a single eligible hotel booking made between 07/07/2026 to 08/07/2026.
• This is a one-time promotional offer. If the reservation is cancelled, the one-time hotel stay promotion is not available to be used again.
• There is no minimum hotel nights requirement to receive the promotion.
• To receive the $75 discount, you must pre-pay for your complete stay.
• This offer is available only for the recipient of this banner, is non-transferable, and can only be used for the card you selected when you received this offer.
• The $75 off a single hotel stay promotion will be automatically applied at the time of booking.

Quick Thoughts

The terms state that this offer is for the recipient of the banner, so hopefully it’s a widely targeted offer.

One of the best parts of this discount is that it stacks with any other eligible Citi Travel credits you might have. For example, my wife has this offer on her Citi Strata Premier℠ card; one of that card’s benefits is a $100 discount when spending $500+ on a hotel booking made through Citi Travel. When booking a $500+ hotel stay, both that $100 discount and the $75 discount from this limited time promotion are deducted from the total cost. Seeing as the offer is available on her Strata Premier card, she’d also earn 10X ThankYou points on the balance.

The same is true of the Citi Strata Elite℠ card. That card has a $300 hotel credit each calendar year on a stay of two nights or more when booking through Citi Travel. Booking a stay of two nights or more costing $400+ would get you a $300 discount from the Strata Elite card as well as the $75 discount from this new promotion (assuming your Strata Elite card is targeted).

Note that even though you have to book your stay by August 7, 2026, the stay doesn’t have to actually be completed by then—it can be for any hotel stay through the end of the booking calendar.

A couple of days ago, Doctor of Credit reported that statement credits are starting to show up for Paze transactions based on the $10 back on a purchase of $10 or more promotion that launched last week. Many folks made purchases within the first couple of days in order to maximize the offer. Some folks have reported receiving all of their statement credits. Others, myself included, have only received them on some cards.

As a reminder, the gist of the promotion was to get $10 back on a purchase of $10 or more, up to $100 on each of your eligible credit cards when you check out at a merchant using Paze. Paze is an online wallet system similar to PayPal, but developed by Early Warning Services, the same company behind Zelle. Most major bank Visa and MasterCard credit and debit cards are eligible.

I made quite a few $10 purchases at Newegg and Dunkin last week. I’ve received almost all of the statement credits on the two different Capital One cards that I used. However, I haven’t received any statement credits on a Bank of America credit card that I used, nor has my wife received any statement credits on the Chase cards that she used. Others have reported receiving credits already from Chase, Bank of America, Capital One, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, and Citi cards, so your mileage may vary.

Reports indicate that Chase is processing the credits as a refund, which means that they are clawing back the base points earned on the transaction. I don’t believe that affects the additional 10 bonus points per dollar available on some cards. My Capital One credits did not affect reward earnings. That is to say, I still earned the two miles per dollar on the associated purchases, though obviously the return there is quite small on $10 purchases.

The promotion terms indicated that it could take one to two months to receive statement credits, so I’m not very concerned, even though we have a few cards that have not yet received any statement credits at all. I assume there was quite a backlog of transactions to credit, and I expect the promotion to be honored. I still have the $10 back on $10 or more banner in my Paze account, so I don’t anticipate any issues. I did notice that there was a lag time between when purchases from Newegg were credited versus when purchases from Dunkin were credited in my Capital One accounts, but I’m sure that will vary by issuer, card, and the chance of circumstance.

Note that it is no longer possible to check out via Paze with $10 gift cards from Newegg. The same angle is also dead via Clover.

Overall, this will continue to go down as probably the deal of the year for many folks who were able to maximize those $10 purchases while it was still possible to check out at Newegg with gift cards.

Quick Thoughts

The Southwest portal is offering the more generous return on spend seeing as you can earn an effective 5X bonus at a couple of the spending thresholds, but many will prefer earning United miles instead.

That said, it doesn’t have to be either/or. Both of these spending promotions are running for the next four weeks, so there’s more time than usual to hit the spending requirements for both of them if you’re interested. I wouldn’t be surprised if we also see the Alaska, American, and Delta portals launch similar offers in the next week or two as well.

United’s portal is potentially easier to meet the spending requirements on thanks to its card-linked in-store feature which the Southwest portal doesn’t have. Considering eligible card-linked stores include Petco, Ikea, CVS, Sephora, and more, that gives even more opportunities to spend up to $600.

With the Southwest portal, be aware that although regular points that you earn from shopping are Companion Pass-eligible, the 500, 1,000, or 2,500 bonus points from this promotion don’t count; they’re only redeemable Rapid Rewards points.

As always, gift card purchases are listed as being excluded, but purchases from Giftcards.com do count if you want what’s perhaps the easiest way to max out these promotions.

The Deal

• Both Capital One Shopping and Capital One Offers have elevated rates today for TripAdvisor. We have seen:
  • 30% back via the Capital One Shopping home page
  • 35% back via Capital One Shopping targeted email
  • 25X miles within a Capital One Venture Credit Card account

Key Terms

• See landing page for any restrictions

Quick Thoughts

TripAdvisor sells a number of tours through the site, so this should make it possible to earn as much as 35% back on a range of tours and experiences. In the past, I’ve used elevated Capital One Shopping rates to book airport transfers through TripAdvisor, and I have successfully gotten the elevated percentage back (though keep in mind that tracking for travel-related offers can be wonky — as you can read in that post, my TripAdvisor purchases usually track as “ineligible” at first and only change to “pending” and “credited” after travel is completed).

That said, while today’s offer is very good, it isn’t the best we’ve seen. At times, we’ve seen the rate on TripAdvisor climb to 50%, 60%, or even 70% back, though that is usually on a targeted basis and only one or twice per year. Otherwise, getting 30% or 35% back via Capital One shopping, or 25 miles per dollar, can certainly be a terrific deal if you’re looking to book something that can be booked through TripAdvisor. I already booked an airport transfer for a trip to the Bahamas with the same company that I used a couple of years ago, thanks to a previous elevated rate. I also recently used an elevated rate for Klook to get tickets to the Arte Museum in Las Vegas, which is a sort of Team Labs-like interactive art experience. I haven’t checked whether tickets to that are available via TripAdvisor, but I tend to look for things like that that can’t be booked more cheaply elsewhere when I see these elevated rates.

Update 7/14/26: A couple of readers have commented to say that this appears to no longer be working, with awards now pricing at 48,500 Avios each way.

Thrifty Traveler reports that it is possible to book lie-flat First Class on the Alaska/Hawaiian Airlines 787 (or the older A330), for just 26,000 Finnair Avios each way between the western US and Hawaii.

According to the Finnair Avios partner award chart for Alaska/Hawaiian, the price for first class between Hawaii and North America (not including the East Coast) should be 26,000 Avios in “Premium Class” or 48,500 Avios in “First Class”.

Based on that chart, we would have expected these awards to price at 48,500 Avios each way. However, Thrifty Traveler reports that awards are priced at 26,000 points each way and are booking into first class when you book with an agent over the phone or via chat.

To find availability, use the American Airlines website (aa.com) and search for a route served by Alaska/Hawaiian, then filter to “nonstop” and “first class”. American charges 62,500 miles one way in lie-flat first class on Alaska/Hawaiian, so if you see a flight on Alaska/Hawaiian for that price, that flight should be bookable via Finnair for 26,000 Avios each way. Note again that, to my knowledge, this does not apply to East Coast departures, as there is a separate line in the chart for the eastern US, nor does it apply to flights on American Airlines metal. This deal is for the Alaska/Hawaiian flights only. While I would use the American Airlines search tool to filter to nonstop flights to find routes with availability, I think it may theoretically be possible to book one of these even with a connection, provided that you’re not flying from the US East Coast and are only on Alaska/Hawaiian metal.

You should find a button to “chat” on this page on the Finnair site, where you should confirm pricing and availability prior to transferring points. Once you link up with an agent, you should feed them all of the pertinent information (passenger info, date, flight numbers/times, and cabin class, which will be “First” in this case). Thrifty Traveler posted screenshots of their chat, with an agent confirming the 26K pricing per passenger.

It is certainly worth the trouble to seek out availability and call or chat to book if you’re interested in flying lie-flat business class to Hawaii. There aren’t a lot of ways to get to and from Hawaii in lie-flat seats, and this 26K pricetag is really hard to beat.

Avios programs partner with all of the major transferable currencies. Most readers will have access to Avios, even if they don’t already have Avios. Keep in mind that you can move Avios between the various programs that use the currency, though any account you want to transfer to or from must be open for at least 30 days before the system will allow a transfer (and, according to Head for Points, members without elite status can not transfer more than 1 million Avios between programs per rolling 12 months). If you have British Airways Avios, Qatar Airways Avios, Iberia Avios, or Aer Lingus Avios, and both the account from which you want to transfer and your Finnair Plus account have both been open for at least 30 days, you should be able to transfer your Avios to Finnair to potentially book these awards. Remember that all account details (like name, email address, phone number, etc) much match exactly. See this post for more information on combining Avios.

We are not sure that this deal will last for very long at this price. You should definitely call or chat to confirm availability and price before transferring points to Avios. Transfers to British Airways or Finnair Plus are typically instant from most of the major transferable currencies (note: transfers to Iberia aren’t always instant, so avoid transferring to Iberia if your goal is to move to Finnair). You should be able to confirm availability and price with the agent, then transfer the points and book (they should be able to wait a minute for the points to show up). I would definitely want to have the price confirmed before transferring to book, as this could potentially change.

The Deal

• Buy $300+ Visa gift cards at Office Depot/OfficeMax & get $15 off instantly.

Key Terms

• Valid July 12, 2026 – July 18, 2026.
• Limit 10 per household/business (different stores may try to impose various limits that don’t correspond to the ad).

Quick Thoughts

As always with these deals, the best option is to buy in three-card increments, as Office Depot/Max gives a $15 discount for every $300 you spend. Buying three cards means you’re spending $600, which takes off $30. Buying nine cards means you should get $90 off, but YMMV as to whether a store will let you do that.

For every three cards you buy, you’ll pay $23.85 in fees (3x$7.95), giving you a net $6.15 in profit in addition to any additional rewards. Buying nine cards at a time triples both the profit and rewards (but will likely involve an ID check to make sure that the payment that you’re using is yours).

In addition, it’s worth keeping an eye out for linked offers that might stack.

Note that the terms on this promo now state that Amazon and fuel gift cards are excluded from earning 4x. You’ll still earn 2x fuel points (the normal rate) on those cards.

The Deal

• Kroger and its empire of affiliated stores are offering 4x fuel points on the following gift cards:
  • All third-party gift cards in-store (must clip coupon)
  • Fixed value Visa/Mastercard gift cards in-store (must clip coupon)
  • Online purchases of gift cards (direct link, no coupon needed)

Key Terms

• Offer valid July 1 – July 14, 2026 for Visa/MC cards.
• Offer valid July 10 – July 11, 2026 for 3rd-party gift cards.
• Excludes Amazon gift cards.

Quick Thoughts

When buying third-party gift cards, you can earn 4x fuel points, saving you up to 14% on gas. To illustrate how that 14% figure is calculated, let’s say you spend $250 on gift cards during the promotion. That would earn you 1,000 fuel points, which can be redeemed for $1 off per gallon on up to 35 gallons. If you’re able to refuel to that 35-gallon limit (perhaps with a large gas tank or refueling 2+ household vehicles at once), you’d save $35. Saving $35 on the original $250 in gift card spend amounts to a 14% discount.

If your gas tank is smaller, though, your savings won’t be as high. For example, our car holds at most 12 gallons, so we can barely save 5% on gas through these promotions, given how much we spend on gift cards. You can often get better discounts on gift cards through sites like Raise, so weigh up all your options before buying them at full price from Kroger or its affiliates, such as Dillons, King Soopers, Ralphs, Fry’s, or Smith’s.

You can earn 4x fuel points on gift cards purchased online or in-store, though there are a couple of important differences between the two. If you’ll be buying in-store, you have to load the digital coupons to your account first, whereas you’ll automatically earn 4x fuel points when buying gift cards online from Kroger.

The other thing to bear in mind is that buying gift cards in-store lets you take advantage of the plethora of cards offering bonus spend at grocery stores right now. Kroger’s online gift card site processes payments through Blackhawk Network (the owner of GiftCards.com), so those online orders don’t count as grocery purchases.

These are excellent options for folks with cash on hand, and a deal that I’ve taken advantage of.

The Deal

• Wells Fargo is offering the following bonuses when opening a new business checking account, depositing the required amount, and maintaining that balance for at least 31 days:
  • $2,500 deposit gets a $400 bonus
  • $10,000 deposit gets a $550 bonus
  • $25,000 deposit gets an $825 bonus
  • Expires 9/8/26

Direct Link to $400 Offer

In order to receive the bonus, you must:

Terms and Conditions

• This offer is for new business checking customers only. All account applications are subject to approval. Only the business entity is eligible for this offer.
• The bonus offer code must be used at account opening.
• Only a Wells Fargo Initiate Business Checking®, Navigate Business Checking® or Optimize Business Checking® account is eligible for this offer.
• A business entity is not eligible for this offer if:
  • The business entity is a current owner of a Wells Fargo business checking account or has closed a Wells Fargo business checking account in the past 90 days or is owned in whole or in part by a Wells Fargo employee.
  • Non-resident aliens or foreign entities signing Form W-8 are not eligible for the offer.
• Once the 60-day qualification period has ended, we will determine if you have met the offer requirements and will deposit any earned bonus into your new business checking account within 30 days.
• The new business checking account must remain open throughout the qualification period and be open at the time we attempt to deposit any earned bonus payment. Please note that an account with a zero balance may be closed by us without prior notice, as further described in the Deposit Account Agreement.
• You are responsible for any taxes due on the bonus. We will report the bonus as income to the tax authorities, as required by applicable law. If you are subject to backup withholding at the time of payment, we may withhold the required amount and remit to the tax authorities. For additional information, consult your tax advisor.
• Offer cannot be paid without a valid U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number (Form W-9 for U.S. persons, including a resident alien). Non-resident aliens signing Form W-8 are not eligible for the offer.
• The monthly service fee for the Initiate Business Checking account is $15. The minimum opening deposit is $25. Avoid the monthly service fee with one of the following each fee period:
  • $500 minimum daily balance
  • $1,000 average ledger balance
  • Own a Premier Checking, Private Bank Checking, or Private Bank Interest Checking account.

Quick Thoughts

Based on the terms, you only have to leave the money in the bank for ~31 days to get the bonus. This is because you have to deposit $25 initially, then add the remainder within 30 days of account opening. Then, you have to maintain that balance for 60 days after account opening.

It’s important to note that the net upside is a bit lower than the bonus. There are plenty of ways to earn ~4-5% interest right now with savings accounts and CDs, so you’re effectively losing 31 days’ worth of interest on the money you put in. Given that, the opportunity cost is ~$100 for the $25K option, ~$40 for the $10K option, or ~$10 when depositing $2.5K.

That said, the larger bonus still corresponds to a ~40% annual interest rate, an incredible return. At the same time, there’s a minimum time commitment and more flexibility with your money. The smaller version is simply a no-brainer if you have $2,500 that you can free up for a month.

Wells Fargo periodically runs a very similar promotion on its personal Way2Save accounts, but the bonus is only $525 for a $25K deposit requirement, AND you have to keep the money in the account for 61 days instead of 31. This business checking offer is vastly superior.

Do note that there is a $15 monthly fee, which can be waived only with a $500 minimum daily balance (or a $1K average ledger balance). That’s obviously not an issue when you have the required amount in the account, but remember to factor it into the deposit or add $500 initially to avoid the fee being deducted in the first month.
