Right now, you can get one of these plans effectively for free in the first year. That’s because if you subscribe by November 20, 2026 and stay by January 22, 2027, you’ll receive Accor points equivalent in value to the subscription fee that you paid. It also looks like existing subscribers are eligible for this promotion too.

The Deal

• ALL Accor+ Voyager & ALL Accor+ ibis subscribers can earn bonus points when staying by January 22, 2027:
  • ALL Accor+ Voyager – Earn 9,000 Reward points worth €180/~$200 (subscription cost is €179)
  • ALL Accor+ ibis – Earn 5,000 Reward points worth €100/~$111 (subscription cost is €99)
• Direct link to offer.
• Direct link to subscribe to ALL Accor+ Voyager.
• Direct link to subscribe to ALL Accor+ ibis.

Key Terms

• The award of the Reward points bonus is reserved for ALL Accor members who hold an ALL Accor+ Voyager or ALL Accor+ ibis subscription (held previously or taken out during the validity period of the offer), subject to making a booking at the ALL Accor+ rate indicated once logged in to their account on the ALL.com website, the ALL app or other direct channels.
• Activate the offer between October 22, 2026 and November 20, 2026.
• Hold an ALL Accor+ Voyager or ALL Accor+ ibis subscription, or subscribe to one of these subscriptions during the offer period and maintain it throughout the entire stay. The number of Status Nights accumulated through an ALL Accor+ subscription is limited to 30 Status Nights per year.
• Make a booking after activating the offer.
• To be eligible, the stay must:
  • Be booked between October 22, 2026 and November 20, 2026
  • Take place between October 22, 2026 and January 22, 2027
  • Take place at a hotel participating in the ALL Accor+ programme
  • Be booked through Accor distribution channels (all.com, the ALL app, an Accor reservation centre, or directly with the hotel by providing the ALL Accor+ subscription number available in the member’s ALL Accor account on ALL.com).
• The offer is limited to one bonus award per ALL Accor+ Voyager or ALL Accor+ ibis subscriber for the entire duration of the promotion.
• Only the first stay booked and completed after activation of the offer will be taken into account.
• The bonus awarded depends on the ALL Accor+ subscription held, which must remain valid throughout the entire stay.
• Bonus Reward points will be credited to the subscriber’s ALL Accor account within a maximum of 10 days after the end of the eligible stay.

Quick Thoughts

This is a very generous offer considering a stay of one night appears to satisfy the stay requirements and will earn you bonus points worth either €180 or €100. As a reminder, Accor points are worth a fixed 2 Euro cents each, hence why 9,000 or 5,000 points respectively equal those amounts.

It’ll be up to you to assess whether the other subscription benefits are valuable for you. ALL Accor+ ibis subscribers get 10 elite night credits each year, 15% off every stay on up to two rooms at ibis, ibis Styles, and ibis budget properties, and a couple of other miscellaneous benefits.

ALL Accor+ Voyager subscribers meanwhile get 20 elite night credits each year, 15% off every stay on up to two rooms at more than 30 of Accor’s brands, and a couple of other benefits. 20 elite night credits gets you Silver status and puts you 10 nights away from Gold status.

If you’ll be booking an eligible stay between now and January 22, there’s very little risk involved with taking advantage of this promotion. If you don’t have any plans to stay at an Accor property during the promotion period though, I’m not sure it’d be worth booking a one night mattress run just for the sake of it unless you know that you’ll definitely get good value from the subscription in the coming 12 months.

• Earn up to 17.5% cashback with Capital One Shopping or up to 12X miles with Capital One Offers when making purchases from Giftcards.com.

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

• Expires October 28, 2026.
• Rates vary depending on the type of card.
• Not eligible for purchases of Giftcards.com eGift cards, Mastercard gift cards, Giant Eagle gift cards, The Gift of College gift cards, and Foot Locker gift cards.
• Not eligible for any required taxes, service, or shipping fees and orders greater than $2,000.
• Not eligible for redemption of gift cards and eGift cards.
• Use of promotional codes not provided by Capital One may invalidate your offer.

Quick Thoughts

There are different tiers of rewards depending on what you’re targeted for and also based on what type of cards you’re buying.

For example, with my 12X miles offer through Capital One Offers, that top earning tier is reserved for Visa gift card purchases. Incidentally, Capital One Shopping and Capital One Offers are listing the TREATMORE promo code that gives a $10 Giftcards.com gift card when buying a $100 virtual Visa gift card, so usage of that promo code should still track.

On Capital One Shopping, I’m only seeing up to 8.5% cashback right now, with cashback earned through that portal only being valid for redemptions of gift cards, rather than as true cashback. Other people are seeing rates of up to 17.5%; it wouldn’t surprise me if Capital One Shopping sends out targeted emails today with even higher rates, or at least rates matching that up to 17.5% rate.

The Deal

• Get 5% back on Emirates flights when spending at least $500 with a targeted Chase Offer.

Key Terms

• Expires November 8, 2026.
• $100 cashback maximum.
• Offer valid in-store in the US and online at US website emirates.com only.
• Not valid for online orders shipped outside of the US.
• Payment must be made directly with the merchant. Offer not valid on purchases made using third-party services, delivery services, or a third-party payment account (e.g., buy now pay later).
• Payment must be made on or before offer expiration date.
• Offer valid one time only.

Quick Thoughts

It would’ve been nice for Chase to have included specific terms for this offer, rather than reverting to the default wording for Chase Offers that involve purchases of physical goods.

The terms state that the offer is “valid in-store in the US and online at US website emirates.com only” and is “not valid for online orders shipped outside of the US.” I suspect that calling Emirates and making a booking over the phone will also be eligible, although those terms seem to indicate that’s not the case. It’s also not clear if eligible flights are limited to those departing from the US; that’s sometimes the case with Amex Offers for airlines, but Chase Offers tend to get triggered more easily provided the retailer name is included in the transaction details.

I would expect this Emirates Chase Offer to work not only on paid airfare, but on taxes and fees for award flights too. If you’ll be booking cash flights, remember to click through from a shopping portal first; here are the current rates.

I don’t believe that past Emirates Chase Offers had a minimum spend requirement, but this latest iteration requires at least $500 of spend.

The Deal

• Spend $2,000+ in one or more transactions directly with Delta Air Lines & get $250 back as a statement credit via a targeted Amex Offer.

Key Terms

• Expires November 30, 2026.
• Offer valid for Delta Air Lines-marketed flights booked directly with Delta Air Lines online at US website delta.com, via Fly Delta US App, or through the US reservation telephone line.
• Flights must originate in the US, including US territories, in order to qualify.
• Valid only for purchases where Delta Air Lines is the merchant of record, such as airfare, fare upgrades, seat selection fees, baggage fees, standby fees, and Delta Sky Club memberships.
• This Offer applies only to eligible bookings that are paid for during the Offer period.
• Excludes the following: (i) purchases in-person at the airport where Delta is not the merchant of record, lounges, and sales offices, (ii) all purchases on-board flights including food, beverage, and WiFi, (iii) standalone hotel bookings and car rentals through delta.com, (iv) purchases through affiliated agents, (v) Delta Vacations, Delta Dive, Delta Cargo, On Demand Charter services, Delta Flight Museum, SkyMiles Marketplace purchases, SkyMiles Experiences, SkyMiles Cruises, Delta Meeting Network, and (vi) travel insurance/trip protection, gift card purchases, and charitable donations.

Quick Thoughts

There was a similar ‘Spend $2,000, get $250‘ Delta Amex Offer a couple of months ago, but that one required that travel be booked through AmexTravel.com. This new version will be preferable for many people seeing as it requires booking directly with Delta and so will mean that in the event of irregular operations, it should be easier to resolve any issues directly rather than having Amex Travel as a middleman.

The $2,000 spend requirement is cumulative, so you don’t have to spend that entire amount in a single transaction. Do note though that flights have to originate in the US in order to be eligible.

• The ole book and cancel? by Dan

 

Delta meanwhile is currently running a flash sale that allows SkyMiles members to book round trip business class to Europe at a discounted rate of only…230K miles round trip.

The Deal

• Book round trip business class to Europe and Africa for 230K Delta SkyMiles.
• Direct link to offer.

Key Terms

• Book by October 29, 2026.

Quick Thoughts

Compared to most other airline loyalty programs, 230K miles round trip to Europe in business class isn’t what would be considered a “sale”, but it is with Delta.

What is a better deal is the 230K miles round trip to Africa in business class, especially because it’s possible to find award availability on nonstop flights. Eligible destination cities include Dakar (Senegal), Lagos (Nigeria), Accra (Ghana), and Marrakech (Morocco)

This pricing can get even better if you have an eligible Delta credit card; basically any card other than the Delta SkyMiles® Blue American Express Card. That’s because those cardholders get a 15% discount on award flights which reduces a 230K redemption to 195,500 SkyMiles.

This flash sale is only valid for bookings made by Thursday October 29, so you’ll want to book ASAP if you’re interested. And don’t miss out on other phenomenal deals that Delta highlights on the Flash Sale landing page such as only 683,600 miles + $87 for round trip business class from Chicago to Hong Kong.

• This one-time bonus award will be determined based on number of Referees using one of the following tiers: Tier 1 bonus: 500 bonus miles for 1 Referee; Tier 2 bonus: 1,000 bonus miles for 2 Referees; Tier 3 bonus: 1,500 bonus miles for 3 Referees; Tier 4 bonus: 2,000 bonus miles for 4 Referees; Tier 5 bonus: 2,500 bonus miles for 5 Referees; Tier 6 bonus: 3,000 bonus miles for 6 Referees; Tier 7 bonus: 3,500 bonus miles for 7 Referees; Tier 8 bonus: 4,000 bonus miles for 8 Referees; Tier 9 bonus: 4,500 bonus miles for 9 Referees; or Tier 10 bonus: 5,000 bonus miles for 10 Referees.
• Supplies of bonuses are limited for each Referrer: if the same Referrer provides their unique link to more than 10 Referees, only the first 10 Referees to sign up using that Referrer’s link and make qualifying purchases may earn bonuses.

Quick Thoughts

This is a nice little bonus that you can earn for referring people to the shopping portal. You’ll get 500 bonus miles—capped at 5,000 miles total—for referring people, while the people you refer will earn 1,000 bonus miles on top of the miles they’ll earn for their purchase(s) through the portal. All they have to do is spend $75 by October 30 which certainly isn’t a stringent spending requirement, although that does mean there are only a few more days to take advantage of this.

On the off-chance that you’re super-successful with your referral endeavors, note that the terms state that in addition to you being limited to earning bonus miles for referring up to 10 people, once you’ve maxed that out any additional people that you’ve referred won’t earn the bonus miles. I can understand Cartera (the company that runs the portal) cutting you off referral-wise, but it seems unfair to penalize the 11th (and beyond) person that uses a popular referral link.

The Deal

• Link your American Airlines AAdvantage and AT&T accounts and earn up to 5,000 bonus miles:

• Direct link to offer.

Key Terms

• You must link your AAdvantage account to your AT&T account to receive these benefits.
• The name in your AAdvantage account must match the name in your AT&T account to receive bonus miles.

Quick Thoughts

This is a no-brainer if you’re an AT&T customer seeing as it should only take a minute to link your accounts. The nice thing is that even if you’re not one of the first 65,000 people to link your accounts, you’ll still earn 2,500 bonus miles.

He advised that he used to have elite status with SAS and got a soft landing when he didn’t requalify for the same elite status level. For example, one year he earned Gold status but didn’t requalify for that; rather than losing elite status entirely, SAS provided him with Silver status the following year.

What we don’t know is if SAS will be providing a soft landing for members who match to their status rather than earning it organically. If they do offer a soft landing, it could be worth applying for the highest level of status that you can in order to lengthen the number of years that you’ll have some form of elite status.

For example, if you match to EuroBonus Diamond status right now, you’ll have that status through the end of 2027. If you do end up benefiting from a soft landing, you’ll get Gold status through the end of 2028. If the soft landing continues again, you’ll have Silver status through the end of 2029. That would therefore get you more than 36 months of elite status for the cost of just over 12 months.

The big unknown here is whether a soft landing will indeed be offered. Even if status matched members have benefited from a soft landing in the past, there’s no guarantee that they will be in the future. That said, please let us know in the comments below if you’ve matched to SAS EuroBonus elite status in previous years and whether or not you received a soft landing in subsequent years.

Original post follows.

~

SAS EuroBonus is offering a paid status match for elite members from many other airline programs. Interestingly, Southwest Companion Pass holders can match all the way to top-tier Diamond status, though top-tier status doesn’t come cheap. Interestingly, there is no required flight activity to keep status, which might make this particularly appealing to those who can make good use of the benefits.

The Deal

• SAS EuroBonus is offering a paid status match whereby members with qualifying status can pay for a match to the following SAS EuroBonus tiers:
  • EuroBonus Silver (SkyTeam Elite): €89 (~$100)
  • EuroBonus Gold (SkyTeam Elite Plus): €199 (~$223)
  • EuroBonus Diamond (SkyTeam Elite Plus): €349 (~$391)
• Direct link to this deal

Key Terms

• Available to elite tier members of most airlines. SkyTeam airlines, Singapore Airlines, TAP Air Portugal, and Etihad are not eligible. See the list of eligible airlines
• Residents of China, Brazil, Argentina, Hong Kong and Taiwan are not eligible.
• No flight challenge required. Upon approval, you will receive SAS EuroBonus status for the remainder of your existing EuroBonus year + 12 months.
• We will never ask you for your airline login or password details.
• Matching to EuroBonus cannot be used to extend a tier you already hold.
• Other frequently asked questions below. Terms, conditions and fees apply to status match requests.

Quick Thoughts

SAS EuroBonus is offering a paid status match through StatusMatch.com. Members wth qualifying status from other airline programs can pay for a match to SAS EuroBonus as follows:

• EuroBonus Silver (SkyTeam Elite): €89 (~$100)
• EuroBonus Gold (SkyTeam Elite Plus): €199 (~$223)
• EuroBonus Diamond (SkyTeam Elite Plus): €349 (~$391)

The following chart shows the list of some of the statuses that you can match to SAS EuroBonus. See this page for the full list.

The above list includes most of the major U.S. programs that are not in the SkyTeam alliance. Keep in mind that SAS EuroBonus Gold status is SkyTeam Elite Plus, which means you would get benefits like checked baggage, preferred seating, SkyPriority access, and more when flying as a SkyTeam member (provided you attach your SAS EuroBonus number). You would also potentially get lounge access when traveling internationally as a SkyTeam Elite Plus member, though you will not get Delta SkyClub access when flying domestically within the United States.

Here are the key associated SkyTeam elite benefits:

• SkyTeam Elite
  • Extra baggage allowance of 10kg / 22 lbs or one extra bag
  • Priority check-in and boarding
  • Priority seating
• SkyTeam Elite Plus
  • Extra baggage allowance of 20kg / 44 lbs or one extra bag
  • Business Class lounge access when traveling on an international flight operated by a SkyTeam member airline for the member plus one guest traveling on the same SkyTeam-operated flight. (Note that this does not include Delta access when flying domestically)
  • SkyPriority check-in, security (where available), and boarding

Of potential interest here are matches for Southwest Airlines members. While A-list matches to EuroBonus Silver, which is SkyTeam Elite, and A-list Preferred matches to EuroBonus Gold, the Southwest Companion Pass matches to top-tier SAS EuroBonus Diamond. That’s potentially of high interest for Companion Pass holders, given that it represents an opportunity to match to SkyTeam status levels that may be useful for other matches in the future.

Of course, it comes at a cost. If you primarily want SkyTeam Elite Plus benefits, keep in mind that you can get those at the Gold level. However, there are some additional benefits for EuroBonus Diamond members that might make top-tier status of interest. The key benefit for some readers will be a 30% discount on flights paid with points. That could be a really handy benefit for anybody who completed the SAS EuroBonus Millionaire promotion and still has a fair number of EuroBonus miles, though Crane in the comments says that this only applies to “regular” tickets paid with points (the type that cost hundreds of thousands of points), not to low-priced award tickets.

The good news is that a paid match is valid until the end of your current membership year and a full 12 months beyond. If you were to join SAS today and match status, you would get almost 2 years of status.

In my case, my SAS account membership year is scheduled to end on March 31st, 2027. If I matched today, I would have status through March 31, 2028. That’s about a year and a half, which is pretty appealing, particularly if I might have aspirations to match onward to other programs in the future.

If you are an existing member, you can find your membership year information on your EuroBonus account page here:

Whether or not it is worth paying up for top-tier likely depends on how much you’ll use the award booking discount. SAS EuroBonus is a Rove transfer partner. If you have a lot of SAS miles and/or Rove miles, it might be worth the cost if you anticipate redeeming many miles. On the flip side, the cost to match to top tier probably won’t be worth it for those who won’t be redeeming SAS miles soon.

As a Southwest Companion Pass holder who also has a lot of SAS miles, I am pretty tempted to consider a match to Diamond, both for the discount on award tickets and for the opportunity to potentially match onward in the future. I’ll take a beat to consider this, but I am leaning toward doing it.

For others, matching to Delta (which has a free match right now) might make more sense. That said, keep in mind that this match does not require any specific flight activity, rather, it is simply a paid match that offers status for an extended period.

The Deal

• Costco.com is offering a $100 Amtrak eGift Card + a $20 Amtrak eGift card for a total of $99.99
• Direct link to this deal

Key Terms

• Redeemable Online at Amtrak.com, on the Amtrak App, or In Person
• Excludes Food/Beverages, Other Gift Cards and Tickets Sold by Third Party Providers
• Limit of 1 Transaction, with a Maximum of 5 Units per Membership Every 14 Days

Quick Thoughts

Getting $120 worth of total Amtrak credit for $99.99 represents a discount of about 16.7%. That’s certainly a very good deal given that I’m not aware of other ways to regularly save on Amtrak train travel. This is a new offering from Costco.com, so I’ll be curious to see how long this lasts and whether we occasionally see additional discounts beyond the current price.

If this turns out to be a long-term thing, it might influence the relative value of transferring Bilt rewards points to Amtrak. As a reminder, Bilt added Amtrak as a transfer partner this fall. While Bilt points ordinarily transfer to Amtrak at a rate of 2 Bilt points to 1 Amtrak point, that can represent a pretty good value since Amtrak points are quite valuable against the cost of train fare.

However, if you’re regularly able to get a 16.7% discount on train fare by purchasing gift cards through Costco, that might affect the math for some people. Keep in mind that Amtrak gift cards cannot be used for food and beverage or tickets sold by third-party providers. However, you can redeem them at Amtrak.com or in the Amtrak app, or even in person. I’m not positive whether you can use multiple gift cards on a single train transaction, so if any readers can confirm one way or another in the comments, that would be great information to include here.

We will certainly keep our eye out to see if Costco.com offers any further discounts on these cards during the holiday season.

The limit is nine per customer per day in-store, although some stores may allow more. Different stores appear to have different policies regarding the variable-load cards that some Staples now sell. Some folks report that fees are waived when they purchase them…others find that they aren’t. Your mileage may vary.

The Deal

• Staples in-store will waive the $7.95 activation fee when you buy a $200 Visa Gift Card.

Key Terms

• Offer valid 10/18/26-10/31/26.
• Limit 9 per customer per day in-store (YMMV on whether your cashier/store allows or enforces the limit).

Quick Notes

These deals can be a great way of getting rewards through spending at office supply stores. If you can buy 9 at a time in-store, that’s a potential $1,800 each day. Some stores may allow you to buy more than 9, and we’ve also heard occasional reports that some managers will sell fewer than the ad says.

$100 inKind credit January to June & July to December

Yesterday, Citi added a twice-annual in-kind benefit to the Citi AAdvantage Executive Card. Starting immediately, AAdvantage Executive Card holders can add their card as a payment method in the InKind app. Then, when paying at an InKind restaurant, they should automatically see up to $100 come off the bill one time through the end of 2026. Then, in January, the benefit will reset, with $100 available between January and June and $100 between July and December.

For those unfamiliar, inKind is a payment app that can be used to pay your check at some restaurants. While the footprint isn’t quite as large as what you would find with major dining platforms like Resy or OpenTable, there are nonetheless many inKind restaurants around the United States.

The app works really well. All you have to do is get your check from your server and then type the check number into the app to pay the bill. I’ve even been able to pay the bill at the counter when paying for a pickup order or at a counter-service restaurant by asking for the check number to type into the app and pay. The experience has been pretty seamless all the times I’ve used it.

Of key importance: you cannot pay some taxes and the gratuity with inKind credits. You’ll need to charge the gratuity to the card you have on file. I expect that it will be necessary to charge that gratuity and any overage to your qualifying AAdvantage Executive card.

No stacking with existing inKind credit

One of the advantages of using InKind is the ability to earn cash back when dining out. The app used to offer a flat 20% back everywhere, though I believe it fluctuates these days. That percentage back in rewards can be applied towards future dining.

That existing inKind cash cannot stack with the AAdvantage Executive benefit; I believe the same will be true if you have InKind gift card credits loaded to your account. That is to say that I believe you will have to choose to either use the credit from your AAdvantage Executive card or use those existing inKind credits to pay for your meal.

How much is this benefit worth? (Hint: less than face value)

This can be a great deal for anybody with an Executive card. If you have found the card worthwhile primarily for its other benefits, this new benefit will just be gravy, and it should be relatively easy to use in most major cities.

That said, I don’t know whether this benefit would push me over the top to getting the card if I were on the fence. If I lived in or frequently traveled to an area with decent InKind coverage, it certainly would come into the calculation, though not at full face value.

I’ve still used inKind several times a year while traveling, but it isn’t available everywhere (and not at all in my immediate vicinity). The utility will definitely vary. On the other hand, if you live in or frequently travel to cities large enough for Admirals Club access (the key feature of the Executive card) to be of value, you will probably be able to find uses for this benefit.

More importantly, Costco ordinarily sells $100 InKind gift cards for $75, and they frequently discount inKind cards to $69.99 (and occasionally as low as $64.99). We also see inKind sell credit directly through its website/app below face value. Given the ability to easily buy inKind credit for well below face value, you shouldn’t value this InKind credit at face value (and you should probably value it significantly below the prices at which you can easily buy $100 in credit twice a year if you wanted it). That is not to say that I wouldn’t gladly take an additional $200 per year in inKind credit, but if I primarily wanted that, I could buy it from Costco right now for $150 and not be bound to using that $100 in two separate halves of a year. If I didn’t need the credit right now, I could wait until it goes on sale for less — and, again, not have any risk of breakage.

If you are new to inKind

If you are new to inKind, you can get a $25 reward to use on a dine of $50 or more (and so will we) if you sign up via a referral link. You can not stack that discount with the AAdvantage Executive credit on the same dine, but you can use it on a separate dine, so if you are new to the platform, it makes sense to sign up via referral to get that coupon for future use.

Bottom line

The Citi AAdvantage Executive card has added a new twice-annual $100 inKind credit. That’s a fun add that will certainly be useful for some. It shouldn’t be valued anywhere near “face value” since we see frequent opportunities to buy inKind credit below face value, but this is still a welcome addition to the card.

The Deal

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

Key Terms

• Valid 10/25/26-10/31/26.
• 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. So, 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 you’re using is yours).

The Deal

• Capital One Offers (for credit card holders) and Capital One Shopping (a public portal open to anyone) are offering elevated rates for TripAdvisor purchases. We sometimes see rates vary, but at the time of writing, we’re seeing:
  • 40X miles via Capital One Offers
  • 40% back via Capital One Shopping
  • Note: Rates can vary, so see your account for your latest offer. Also keep an eye out for targeted emails from Capital One Shopping, as we sometimes see even better targeted rates

Key Terms

• Only eligible for experiences / things to do
• Not eligible for hotels, restaurants, vacation rentals, flights, cars, theme parks, or cruises
• Purchases made using TripAdvisor Plus are not eligible
• Not eligible for LEGOLAND tickets, Walt Disney World tickets, Disneyland tickets, Universal Orlando tickets, San Diego Zoo tickets, Atlanta CityPASS, and numerous other types of tickets (see your offer for full exclusions)
• Likely valid for purchases made today only (10/25/26)

Quick Thoughts

This can obviously be useful for tours and things to do, particularly ones with relatively fixed pricing and/or for attractions/tickets that aren’t found in the exclusions.

I have used TripAdvisor for airport transfers in many different places in order to arrange a private transfer — with a return like this, it often winds up being a better deal than booking directly. It can also be useful for attractions that aren’t excluded. For instance, my family went to Arte Museum Las Vegas last summer (sort of a TeamLab lite) and booked tickets through a similar platform in order to take advantage of a similar elevated portal return.

Keep in mind that travel purchases made through Capital One sometimes post as ineligible, only to become “pending” after travel is completed. See this post for more details.

I don’t have specific things in mind, but I’ll be keeping my eye on my email. In the past, I’ve sometimes gotten offers as high as 60-70% back at TripAdvisor, which would probably be enough to draw my attention toward possibilities for upcoming trips.

The Deal

• A new, targeted but widely available Amex Offer is out for Virgin Atlantic: Spend $2,500 in one or more purchases, get $200 back.
  • Enrollment required
  • Expires 12/13/26

Key Terms

• Eligible Card Members must first add the offer to their Card and then use the same enrolled Card for qualifying purchases.
• Any Cards issued outside of the US are not eligible. Only Card Members who enroll are eligible.
• Limit of 1 statement credit per eligible Card Member account.
• Offer valid for one way and round-trip Virgin Atlantic Airways-marketed flights booked directly with Virgin Atlantic Airways online at USwebsite virginatlantic.com, or through the Virgin Atlantic Airways mobile app only.
• Flights must originate in the US. This Offer applies only to eligible bookings that are paid for during the Offer period.
• Excludes bookings made through ticket desk, call center or by calling VA Airways Customer Service phoneline. Not valid on in-flight purchases, luggage charges, and meals.
• Purchases must be made in USD. Offer is only valid on purchases made directly with the merchant. Offer not valid on purchases made using third parties, such as resellers, delivery services, or other intermediaries.

Quick Thoughts

Saving $200 on a paid ticket is no chump change, and this offer could be timely for folks looking to save some cash on a trip to Europe.

This should apply to surcharges on award tickets, as it only requires a one-way or round-trip ticket booked on Virgin Atlantic (i.e., it doesn’t specify all cash or exclude award tickets). For a family, award taxes and the fuel surcharges added by Virgin Atlantic can easily add up to more than $2,500, so this could help take some of the bite out of those additional fees.

Do note: terms require flights to originate in the US and be charged in US dollars to qualify. I always find that mildly annoying since I prefer to book flights as one-ways and would rather book a one-way from Europe to the US—but I can’t do that with this offer since flights need to originate in the US.

Regardless, in the right situation, this could be a useful offer.

This offer is only valid for properties in the US, the Caribbean, Canada, and Mexico and there may be other permutations. Let us know what you have in the comments (and which card you have it on).

The Deal

• A new targeted Amex Offer is out for $150 back when you spend $375+ in one or more purchases at Marriott Bonvoy properties.
  • Other versions may exist with different spending thresholds and amounts back
  • Enrollment required
  • Expires 11/23/26

Key Terms and Conditions

• Expires November 23, 2026.
• Offer valid only at participating Marriott Bonvoy properties in the U.S. and U.S. territories, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.
• Reservations must be made online at Marriott.com, via the Marriott Bonvoy App or by calling 1-888-236-2427.
• Excludes Marriott Vacation Club, Marriott Grand Residence Club, Design Hotels, Protea Hotels, Marriott Executive Apartments, Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy, Vistana Signature Network and Vistana Residence Network.
• Excludes gift card purchases.
• Not valid for online retail purchases, hotel amenities or purchases of Marriott Bonvoy points.
• Qualifying purchase means a purchase at a participating Marriott Bonvoy property made during the offer period with your enrolled American Express Card and which is in an amount totaling at least $375 USD as posted to your account, following conversion from a foreign currency, if applicable, in accordance with your Card Member Agreement.
• 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

It’s important to note that this offer is valid only at properties in the US and US territories, along with Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. It also excludes Marriott Homes and Villas and Design Hotels, along with some other vacation rental brands. The Protea exclusion is redundant since those are outside the US anyway.

Historically, these Marriott Amex offers have been triggered by a gift card purchase at the front desk, even though the terms exclude gift card purchases. It has always been a crap shoot as to whether properties sell gift cards at all…and if they do, whether or not they’ll actually have them in stock (and then whether or not they know how to load them). It’s probably worth calling to see if a location has them before you make a trip to the hotel. In general, higher-end brands seem to stock them much more frequently than the Fairfields and Courtyards of the world.

As always, we have added this to our Current Amex Offers database.

This is a strange one. Although the promotion applies to stays from 5/24/27 – 9/11/27, the booking window closes 7 months before the stay window.

The Deal

• Earn 3x on stays of 5+ consecutive nights with Marriott Homes & Villas.
  • Book by 11/10/26
  • Stay by 5/27/27 – 9/11/27
  • Registration required

Direct link to offer

Key Terms

• A “stay” is defined as five (5) or more consecutive nights spent at the same property, regardless of check-in and check-out activity.
• Registration of Marriott Bonvoy Member’s Marriott Bonvoy account is required for this promotion.  Members must register by November 20, 2026.
• Registered Marriott Bonvoy Members earn 3X base points per qualifying U.S. dollar for each eligible paid stay at a participating home rental booked between October 19, 2026 (12:01 AM EST) – November 20, 2026 (11:59 PM EST) (the “Promotional Booking Window”) through the Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy website (“HVMB Platform”) for stays completed between May 25, 2027 and September 11, 2027. Payment for the stay must be made by debit or credit card.
• Only reservations made during the Promotional Booking Window are eligible for this promotion. Reservations booked outside of the Promotional Booking Window, including those booked prior to this promotion and later registered, are not eligible for this offer. Promotion benefits will not be applied retroactively to existing reservations.
• Stays of five (5) or more consecutive nights must be completed during the promotion earning period, beginning May 25, 2027, up to and including nights stayed on or before September 11, 2027.
• Members earn five (5) base Points for each U.S. dollar, or the currency equivalent, on all Qualifying Charges incurred and paid for by the Member through the HVMB Platform.
• Promotion bonus Points are calculated based on 3X base Points earned per stay within the promotion earning period and do not include Elite bonus points also awarded for the stay.
• Charges that do not qualify for Points include, but are not limited to, taxes, booking fees, cleaning fees, security deposits, and extra add-on services purchased and/or applied to home rentals booked through the HVMB Platform.
• Members who elected to earn airline miles instead of Marriott Bonvoy Points are not eligible for this promotion.
• No points are awarded for canceled stays or no-shows.

Quick Thoughts

Homes & Villas rentals typically earn 5x base points, so this promotion means you’ll earn 15x points before accounting for any additional bonus points you’ll gain if you already have status in the Marriott Bonvoy program.

While it’s great that this promo applies to all properties globally for the entire Summer, the distance between the registration/booking and stay windows is nuts; they’re separated by nearly seven months. While I’m sure that there are people planning trips for next Summer, requiring you to get your plans sorted a minimum of seven months beforehand seems extreme.

The Deal

• Get purchase fees waived when you buy $375 or more of Visa gift cards from VanillaGift.com and use promo code VGSHOP26.
• Direct link to offer.

Key Terms

• Expires November 1, 2026.
• Excludes Charity Cards.

Quick Thoughts

These types of waived purchase fee deals are quite common, but it’s great that it’s lasting over a week and doesn’t have a denomination restriction.

The best value is to buy digital cards, as there are no fees at all. If you buy physical cards, the purchase fees are waived, but shipping fees are not.

Don’t pay with an Amex card, as those cards don’t earn rewards on purchases from VanillaGift.com, nor other Incomm-owned sites like TheGiftCardShop.com and MastercardGiftCard.com.

Note that the terms on this promo now state that Amazon and fuel gift cards don’t earn 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:
  • Select third-party gift cards in-store (see below – must clip coupon)
  • Fixed-value Visa/Mastercard gift cards in-store (not currently offered)
  • Online purchases of gift cards (direct link, no coupon needed)

Key Terms

• Offer valid October 21 – November 3, 2026
• 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 you can redeem for $1 off per gallon on up to 35 gallons. If you can refuel to that 35-gallon limit (perhaps with a large gas tank or by 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 gift card discounts through sites like Raise, so weigh your options before buying 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’re buying in-store, you’ll need to load the digital coupons to your account first, whereas you’ll automatically earn 4x fuel points when buying gift cards online from Kroger.

Another thing to keep in mind is that buying gift cards in-store lets you take advantage of the many 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.

As always, this might be targeted, and sometimes members have different bonus amounts or tier thresholds.

If you find that Points.com won’t accept your IHG login details, you should still be able to buy the points if you click through from an IHG email about this points sale, or by clicking through from the IHG app.

The Deal

• Buy IHG Rewards points for as low as 0.5 cents per point:
  • Buy 5K-10K points & get 80% bonus (0.75 cents per point)
  • Buy 11K-39K points & get 90% bonus (0.53-0.61 cents per point depending on how many you buy)
  • Buy 40K+ points & get 100% bonus (0.5 cents per point)
• Direct link to offer (our affiliate link)

Key Terms

• This Offer is available for qualifying purchases of IHG One Rewards points made between 12:00 AM ET on October 21, 2026 and 11:59 PM ET on November 5, 2026 (“Offer Period”). Members will receive a bonus of up to 100% of the points purchased when they purchase a minimum 5,000 points purchase threshold on a per transaction basis.
• There is a minimum points purchase threshold on a per transaction basis to be eligible for a bonus. The percentage bonus amount will show for eligible members when they log into their IHG One Rewards account.
• The number of points a member may purchase, gift, or receive as a gift during the Offer Period is subject to annual limits under the IHG One Rewards Membership Terms and Conditions, which are available on www.ihg.com. Members may purchase a maximum of up to 200,000 points during a calendar year, so the number of points a member can purchase during the Offer Period will depend on how many points the member had already purchased during the same calendar year. For example, if a member had previously purchased 50,000 points in 2026, then the member could only purchase up to a maximum of 150,000 points during the Offer Period and would be eligible to receive the applicable percentage of additional bonus points under this Offer based only on the amount of points purchased during the Offer Period.
• Similar limits apply to gifting points and receiving points as a gift: members may gift up to a maximum of 200,000 points, or receive as gifts from other members a combined maximum of up to 200,000 points, during the Offer Period, subject to reduction by the number of points that have been already gifted, or received as a gift, in the same calendar year. If a member purchases points that exceed the 200,000 points threshold for 2026 then they cannot purchase points for the remainder of the calendar year.
• Purchased points, as well as any bonus points awarded under this Offer, do not count towards IHG One Rewards Elite status.
• This is an exclusive, non-transferable offer for intended recipients only and may not be forwarded.
• Please allow up to 72 hours for points to post and appear in the recipient’s account.

Best uses of IHG points

• 4th night free. Use points to book 4 nights for the price of 3. This benefit is valid for longer stays, so if you’re staying 8 nights, you’ll get both the 4th and 8th nights free. This benefit is available only to cardholders of the IHG One Rewards Premier Select, IHG One Rewards Premier, and IHG One Rewards Business credit cards, as well as the IHG One Rewards credit card when spending $5,000 in a calendar year. Rather than reducing the total cost of the stay by 25%, the points required for every 4th night are deducted. Seeing as IHG uses dynamic pricing, that can be great if the 4th night is the most expensive, but not as good if that night is the cheapest. See this post for more about the possibilities.
• 10% points rebate. If you have the IHG Select credit card (no longer available for new applications), you’ll get a 10% points rebate when booking award stays. The points are credited back a few weeks after your stay, so you need to have the full number of points required for an award stay in your account. The 10% points rebate stacks with the 4th night free benefit if you have both an IHG Premier Select, Premier or Business credit card (or IHG One Rewards no annual fee card if you spend $5,000 in a calendar year) and an IHG Select card, with the 4th night free being calculated first.
• Sweet spots with dynamic pricing. Although IHG uses dynamic pricing for award stays, award pricing isn’t always as high as the corresponding cash cost. For example, Stephen booked a stay at the Staybridge Suites Temecula-Wine Country in California. The average nightly cost was $258.81 with taxes and fees, but the points cost ranged from 19,000 to 23,000 points per night. Buying points at 0.5cpp would therefore enable you to stay for only $95-$115 per night at that award pricing – less than half the cost of a regular paid stay. Stacking the 4th night free and a 10% points rebate reduced the cost of a 9-night stay there to only 14,500 points per night, or $72.50 per night when buying points at 0.5cpp. That was less than a third of the cost of a paid stay.

Things to know about IHG points

• When you book nights with points, you will not earn points for the stay unless IHG 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.
• IHG One Rewards points purchases are made via Points.com. You can click through from a shopping portal to earn a little cashback on the purchase, thereby reducing your net cost for the points – you can find the current rates here.
• Points.com purchases don’t code as travel, so it’s best to pay with a card that earns at a higher rate for everyday spend or on a card where you’re working on a minimum spend requirement.
• A couple of readers report that some card-linked IHG spending offers are triggered by points purchases, despite payment being processed by Points.com rather than IHG. See the discussion thread here.
