The Deal

• Get an 80% bonus when transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards points to IHG One Rewards between 12:00 AM ET on November 1, 2026 and 11:59 PM ET on December 3, 2026

Key Terms

• Expires December 3, 2026.

Quick Thoughts

Chase Ultimate Rewards points normally transfer to IHG on a 1:1 basis, so this transfer bonus makes that 1:1.8. If you aren’t familiar with the value of IHG points, you might think that an almost doubling of the transfer ratio would be worthwhile, but far from it.

IHG points are – at the time of publishing this post – on sale for 0.5 cents per point. That means that you can buy two IHG points for one cent. If you needed, say, 45,000 IHG points, you could buy those for $225. If you were to transfer from Chase, even with this bonus, you’d need to transfer 25,000 Ultimate Rewards, so you’re getting less than one cent per point. That’s awful value, so it shouldn’t be done.

The Deal

• American Express Membership Rewards is giving a 30% transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic.

Key Terms

• Expires November 30, 2026.
• Minimum transfer is 1,000 Membership Rewards points.
• Redeem for this exclusive offer from 12:00 a.m. MST on 11/2/2026 to 11:59 p.m. MST on 11/30/2026, to receive 30% additional Virgin Points.
• Additional Virgin Points may take up to 72 hours to show in your Virgin Atlantic Flying Club account.

Quick Thoughts

You can book economy saver awards between the US and UK from 6K Virgin points (albeit with a decent amount in taxes/fees as well). With this 30% transfer bonus, you’d only need to transfer 5K Membership Rewards points for every person; that would then give you a few Virgin points left over for future redemptions.

One way premium economy awards between the US and UK are available from 10,500 points. That means that if you already have 100 Virgin points in your account, you’d only need to transfer 8K Membership Rewards points in order to have enough points to book a ticket. If you’re more interested in booking Upper Class (i.e. business class) tickets, those can be available on select dates and routes for only 35K points one way (with very high taxes and fees to go along with it). That would only require 27K Amex Membership Rewards transferred with this 30% bonus.

This transfer bonus could also come in handy for other Virgin redemptions like cruises with Virgin Voyages or this all-inclusive stay at Finch Hattons in Kenya. That latter redemption costs 100K points per night with a minimum two-night stay, with that covering the cost of two people. You’d therefore only need to redeem 77K Membership Rewards points per night when transferring them from American Express.

You can also book three nights at Necker Island for two people for 750K Virgin points, with each additional night costing 250K points. That would “only” require 577K Amex points to be transferred, which is, admittedly, a lot, but it could be a worthwhile bucket list redemption for some people who are flush with Membership Rewards points.

Here’s a list of all current and past transfer bonuses to Virgin Atlantic from all transferable currencies:

The Deal

• Capital One has added Copa Airlines ConnectMiles as a new transfer partner. Miles ordinarily transfer at a ratio of 1,000 Capital One miles to 750 Copa Connect miles (2:1.5). At launch, Capital One is offering a 30% transfer bonus through 11:59pm Eastern Time on 12/1/26.

Key Terms

• Must transfer a minimum of 1,000 miles
• 30% bonus applies through 11:59pm Eastern Time on 12/1/26

Quick Thoughts

Copa appears to be making a push to become more relevant to U.S.-based travelers. Several months back, we saw Copa added as a Rove transfer partner. More recently, Citi added Copa as a ThankYou transfer partner, and now we see Capital One adding Copa. It’s great to see multiple ways to top off your Copa account if you’re interested in transferring to Copa Connect Miles.

Keep in mind that Copa charges no surcharges with partner airlines like ANA, Emirates, Lufthansa, and Swiss. The lack of surcharges on Emirates in particular has a lot of potential, especially because saver business class awards between the US and Dubai (as well as the rest of the Middle East and Africa) theoretically cost 80K miles. That said, availability seems hard to come by, so your mileage may vary. Air France is another Copa partner that could potentially become of interest in the right situations.

Overall, it’s great to see Capital One continue to expand its transfer partner stable, and great to see an additional option for collecting Copa Miles. That said, you’re better off right now with Citi and Rove since transfers from those programs to Copa are 1:1 and Capital One’s ratio is less than 1:1. Even with the 30% transfer bonus, the elevated Capital One ratio is still 1,000 Capital One miles to 975 Copa miles, so a bit less than the 1:1 that you can get any day of the week from Citi or Rove. Capital One could still make sense if you’re particularly flush with Capital One Miles. Otherwise you might look to those other currencies first.

I will say that I’m disappointed to see another airline transfer partnership that is not based on a standard one-to-one transfer ratio. It’s disappointing to see programs continue to move in this complex direction of differing transfer ratios, which feels like it will make partnerships a bit less accessible to newcomers. However, if they can’t make the economics of that work, I suppose this is better than not adding a new transfer partner.

The Deal

• Get a 30% transfer bonus when transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Wyndham Rewards.
  • Valid between 12:00 AM ET on November 1, 2026 and 11:59 PM ET on December 3, 2026.
  • 1,000 Ultimate Rewards points = 1,300 Wyndham Rewards points during the promotional period.

Key Terms

• Offer is valid for points transfers to Wyndham Rewards completed between 12:00 AM ET on November 1, 2026 and 11:59 PM ET on December 3, 2026.
• Minimum transfer is 1,000 Ultimate Rewards points.
• Wyndham Rewards bonus points will be deposited by Wyndham Rewards into your Wyndham Rewards member account within 7 days after the points transfer is completed.
• Once you have transferred Ultimate Rewards points, they become Wyndham Rewards points subject to the terms and conditions of the Wyndham Rewards program and cannot be transferred back to your Chase Ultimate Rewards Program account.

Quick Thoughts

There are still some appealing uses of Wyndham points, but in most cases, it won’t be a worthy destination for your Ultimate Rewards.

Our Reasonable Redemption Value for Wyndham points is just 0.57c per point. Even with a 30% transfer bonus, an average Wyndham redemption would still yield less than one-cent-per-point value for your Chase points…and you can do far better than that.

We certainly wouldn’t recommend transferring speculatively, but if you have a specific vacation rental in mind or perhaps an all-inclusive in the Caribbean during a busy week, it could make sense. Outside of that, it’s best to wait for better options.

The Deal

• Get a 30% bonus when transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards points to the following Avios programs:
  • British Airways
  • Iberia
  • Aer Lingus

Key Terms

• Expires December 1, 2026.

Quick Thoughts

If you have a good supply of Ultimate Rewards points, getting a 30% bonus on Avios transfers can provide very good value.

Be aware that even though they all use the same rewards currency, British Airways, Iberia, and Aer Lingus price awards differently, both in terms of how many Avios are required and how much you have to pay in taxes and fees.

One of the main sweet spots for Avios award booking is booking short flights, so being able to take advantage of a 30% transfer can make those awards even better value.

Booking flights to/from the UK can also end up being pretty good value, particularly on the UK to US leg. Off-peak economy pricing from New York to London is 25,000 Avios + ~$83 in taxes when booked with BA Avios, so only 20,000 Ultimate Rewards points need to be transferred (or only 19,000 if you already have a few hundred Avios in your account). That’s not amazing, especially compared to the ability to book Virgin Atlantic from only 6,000 points + ~$110 in taxes and fees, but it’s not awful either; with the transfer bonus it’s more akin to Flying Blue Promo Rewards pricing.

As mentioned above, though, it’s the UK to US leg that has more attractive pricing. One-way cash flights from the UK to US tend to be very expensive; it’s usually cheaper to buy a round-trip ticket originating in London than it is to buy a one-way flight. An off-peak one-way economy award flight from London to New York can be booked for 25,000 Avios + $100, though, so only slightly more expensive taxes/fees-wise than the US to UK leg. Why is that more attractive, though? It’s because of the higher taxes and fees you’d pay for an award booking with other programs. With American Airlines AAdvantage miles, you’re looking at ~$210; with Alaska Atmos it’s ~$220; with Virgin Atlantic it’s ~$245. For a family of four, booking with BA Avios would save you ~$600 in taxes and fees over Virgin Atlantic. That’s not to say that 25,000 Avios + $100 is a superb deal, but it can be a convenient one if you want to fly nonstop between the two countries.

The Deal

• Capital One is offering a 20% transfer bonus from Capital One miles to Air France / KLM Flying Blue through 11/30/26.

Key Terms

• Valid through 11:59pm Eastern time on 11/30/26.

Quick Thoughts

Flying Blue doesn’t have an award chart, so there aren’t sweet spots that you can count on. However, they do offer decent business class pricing to Europe on connecting itineraries if you have some flexibility. And the partnership with the French rail system means that they reach even more destinations than they serve directly.

Flying Blue also has some lesser-known partnerships, such as with Copa Airlines and Aerolineas Argentinas, which could make them pretty useful for those going south. And moving westward, you could book the Air France flight from Los Angeles to Tahiti for fewer miles if you’re able to take advantage of this transfer bonus.

As is typically the case, I probably wouldn’t speculatively transfer to Flying Blue, especially given the lack of an award chart and the fact that the lowest-priced awards can no longer be changed or cancelled and no longer include things like seat selection and lounge access even in business class, but for those who frequently use Flying Blue and/or those who find a useful redemption this could certainly be a nice bump.

The Deal

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

Key Terms

• Valid November 1, 2026 – November 7, 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.

The Deal

• Get 8% back as a statement credit for Viator and TripAdvisor Experiences bookings with a targeted Chase Offer.

Key Terms

• Expires November 30, 2026.
• $10 cashback total.
• Offer valid on first two payments only.
• Offer only valid on purchases made directly with the merchant.
• Offer valid online only at viator.com and/or tripadvisor.com/Attractions.
• Offer not valid on purchases made using third-party services, delivery services, or a third-party payment account (e.g., buy now pay later).
• Offer only valid on U.S. purchases.

Quick Thoughts

An 8% statement credit isn’t a huge return, but it’s decent enough given there’s no minimum spend requirement, so it works for cheap activities too.

With a $10 total cashback limit, you’ll max this out by spending $125 across one or two transactions. If you’re booking a more expensive activity for two or more people and have the offer on more than one credit card, you could book the tickets separately to take advantage of multiple statement credits.

Seeing as this is a card-linked spending offer, it’ll stack nicely with shopping portal rewards. Viator and TripAdvisor Experiences are often available at high portal rates, especially through Capital One Shopping, where you can often get targeted for rates of 20%-35% back.

• Offer only valid on purchase made directly with the merchant.
• Offer valid online only.
• Offer not valid on purchase made using third-party services, delivery services, or a third-party payment account (e.g., buy now pay later).
• Offer only valid on U.S. purchase.
• It is possible that the merchant may split your purchase into multiple transactions.
• Offer redemption awarded as statement credit on the first qualifying transaction amount.

Quick Thoughts

This is a pretty good deal, especially because it’ll stack with shopping portal rewards, along with frequent sales that Giftcards.com has on Visa gift cards, as well as a variety of third party gift card brands. Larger sales tend to be found at this Promotions page (our affiliate link), but Giftcards.com also tends to have a Deal of the Day that can be found on the site’s homepage.

Past Giftcards.com Chase Offers have had a limit of $50 back as a statement credit which meant it was valid on a purchase of up to $1,000. This latest version sadly has a lower limit of up to $40 back, so you’ll max it out when spending $800.

Note that this Giftcards.com Chase Offer is only valid for one purchase per credit card that it’s loaded to. As a result, if you’re planning on buying several different gift cards it’ll be best to do that in one transaction that’s for $800 or less, unless you have this Chase Offer on multiple cards. If you do have it on multiple cards, you could do separate purchases on each of them if you want. Seeing as this Chase Offer is specifically for Giftcards.com and gift cards are the only thing that site sells, I don’t think you need to worry about your purchases being regarded as abusing Chase Offers.

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 as of August 2026 they have a partnership with Qatar Airways which enables you to earn Avios on your rentals. You can click through to Turo from Rakuten, Capital One Shopping, or Capital One Offers in order to earn additional rewards on your rental as well.

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.

Unlike Amex, Chase allows you to redeem offers on multiple cards, so you could theoretically get 10% off on several rides by switching payments cards after each one if you’re targeted for this offer on two or more cards.

The Deal

• Get 10% back on Lyft with a new Chase Offer.

Key Terms

• Expires November 30, 2026.
• $10 cash back maximum.
• Offer valid one time only.
• Offer only valid on purchases made directly with the merchant.
• Offer valid online only.
• Offer not valid on gift card purchase.
• Offer not valid on purchases made using third-party services, delivery services, or a third-party payment account (e.g., buy now pay later). Offer only valid on U.S. purchases.

Quick Thoughts

If you’re targeted, this is a pretty good discount for spending on Lyft. Depending on the card(s) you have it on, you can also earn bonus points based on Chase’s partnership with Lyft.

Remember to link your Lyft account with one of their partners: Alaska Airlines, Hilton, Bilt, and United are your options, but you can only earn with one at a time.

Quick Thoughts

There are some great earning opportunities here, especially considering the lower spending tiers earn an effective 5X bonus miles/points on some of the portals.

Don’t forget that the Alaska, American, United, and Delta portals—but not the Southwest portal—all have a card-linked in-store offer program, with those purchases counting towards the spending thresholds too. Eligible in-store retailers include CVS, Ikea, Sephora, Petco, and more, so that can help you rack up the bonus points/miles from these promotions.

The terms on each of the portals exclude gift card purchases, but purchases from Giftcards.com—provided they track normally—do count towards these bonus promotions, so that can be an easy way to max them out.

The Deal

• Spend $600+ at Chase Travel & get $100 back with a targeted Chase Offer.

Key Terms

• Expires December 31, 2026.
• Qualifying transaction must be made during the offer period of 11/1/2026 to 12/31/2026.
• A minimum spend of $600 must be met in a single transaction, including taxes and after discounts, on your eligible card; multiple transactions totaling $600 do not qualify.
• Offer valid one time only.
• Offer only valid on purchase made directly with Chase Travel.
• Offer not valid on purchase made using third-party services, delivery services, gift cards, or third-party payment accounts (e.g. buy now pay later).
• If purchase is made using a combination of cash and Ultimate Rewards points, at least $600 of the purchase must be transacted with an eligible card to qualify.

Quick Thoughts

Other than needing to book on the portal and the fact that it’s valid only once, no other restrictions are listed for this Chase Offer. That means you should be able to book flights, hotel stays, cruises, activities, tours, or rental cars costing $600+ in a single transaction to trigger the statement credit.

There are now a variety of Chase Travel credits across several Ultimate Rewards-earning cards. If any of them are targeted for this offer, you should be able to stack them.

Flights have to be booked via Amex Travel, so this sadly won’t work when spending $1,000 or more on taxes and fees with the Miles & More program.

The Deal

• Spend $1,000+ in one or more purchases with Lufthansa Group airlines via AmexTravel.com and get $200 back as a statement credit with a targeted Amex Offer.

Key Terms

• Expires November 22, 2026.
• Offer valid only for Lufthansa, Brussels, Austrian, Swiss International, & Discover Airlines marketed flights booked directly through American Express Travel online at AmexTravel.com, or the Amex Travel app.
• Flight must originate in the US and be charged in USD.
• Eligible flights must be booked through American Express Travel.
• Flights booked directly with Airlines or through other third-party sites and apps are not eligible for this offer.
• Excludes all other types of American Express Travel® bookings or purchases not listed as eligible.
• Eligible flights that are paid for before the promotion start date or after the promotion end date will not qualify.
• Qualifying purchases must total a minimum of $1000 by 11/22/2026, in accordance with these terms, to be eligible for a one-time $200 statement credit.

Quick Thoughts

Getting $200 back as a statement credit is a very good return if you need to book paid airfare on the eligible airlines which are Lufthansa, Brussels Airlines, Austrian Airlines, Swiss International, and Discover Airlines.

The potential downside with this is that you have to book via Amex Travel. That could add some complexity in the event that you encounter schedule changes ahead of time or irregular operations when traveling as you might have to deal with Amex Travel as a middleman rather than with the airline directly.

Having to book via Amex Travel also means that this Amex Offer can’t get triggered by paying for taxes and fees on Miles & More award tickets that total $1,000 or more. If you don’t fly frequently on Lufthansa and its group airlines, Miles & More miles can be hard to come by, but they are now a transfer partner of Rove Miles. Sadly that doesn’t help with this offer though.

The Deal

• Earn 15% cashback when booking your first hotel stay or vacation rental through Capital One Travel as a Discover cardholder.

Key Terms

• Expires January 23, 2027 or April 17, 2027 (depending on when your Discover card was moved to Capital One).
• Earn 15% cash back on a hotel or vacation rental booking on Capital One Travel, up to $200, when you set up online account access with Capital One and book within 180 days of online account set-up.
• This is a limited time offer that will provide eligible customers one-time elevated earn of 15% cash back on one hotel or vacation rental reservation made via Capital One Travel during the offer period for a maximum of $200 of elevated earn for a reservation (only applicable for payments made via Capital One Travel and including taxes and fees). For this booking, customers will earn 15% cash back on their booking, instead of their standard rewards earn rate, up to a total earn of $200.
• If booking a package, only the hotel portion of the package booking will qualify for this offer.
• After reaching a total of $200, customers will earn their standard rewards earn rate on the remaining portion of the purchase.
• Rewards earnings will apply to net purchases (purchases minus any credits or returns) only.
• Rewards will not be earned on any travel credits used or any rewards redeemed for the purchase.
• Earned rewards are usually visible online within 10 days, but may take up to 2 statement cycles to post to your account.
• This offer is only available while supplies last and for one booking per account.
• This promotion cannot be retroactively applied to bookings made before the offer starts, and will not be applied to any bookings made after the offer expires.

Quick Thoughts

The promotion dates for this offer are a little confusing. As you can see in the screenshot earlier, it states that it expires on January 23, 2027. However, the terms state that you have to set up online access by October 25, 2026 and then book within 180 days. That was the offer my wife received as her account was transferred back in August; mine was transferred more recently and so I have until April 17, 2027 to book.

Discover cardholders who’ve already had their cards moved over to Capital One now earn 5% cashback on hotels and vacation rentals booked through Capital One Travel. That means that this new promotion is adding an additional 10% cashback to that earning rate. With a limit of $200 cashback, you’ll max this out when spending $1,333.33, with any spend above that amount reverting to the 5% cashback rate.

Do note that this is only eligible on one booking, so if you anticipate booking two or more stays then it’d be worth booking the more expensive one first.

To see if you’re targeted for this offer, log in to Capital One Travel and then check your Travel Offers.

I had a card-linked Capital One Offer on my account that was giving 1,000 bonus miles when spending $20+ at Panera Bread in-app and in-store. At the time (this was a couple of weeks ago), Panera was giving a 20% discount on their gift cards and they process payment for their own gift cards, unlike many retailers who use CashStar for that.

I therefore activated the card-linked offer, then bought a $25 Panera gift card for $20 in their app. I later received both the bonus miles and the statement credit which means that I got a $25 Panera gift card and 1,000 Capital One miles for free.

That’s not going to make this the deal of the year, but it was an easy win that only took a couple of minutes of my time. That 20% discount on Panera gift cards has since ended, but if you’re targeted for that 1,000 bonus miles offer, you could still buy a $20 gift card.

Keep an eye out on your emails if you’re a Capital One credit cardholder. That’s because some cardholders—possibly only business cardholders—are being targeted with an offer that’s giving up to $20 back as a statement credit on a dollar-for-dollar-spent basis which is on top of the standard rewards you’ll earn through the shopping portal.

The Deal

• Targeted Capital One cardholders are being offered up to a $20 statement credit when shopping through Capital One Offers.

Key Terms

• Promotional statement credit: This limited-time promotion is for select customers.
• To participate, you must use Capital One Offers to complete one or more Qualifying Offer Purchases from an eligible merchant.
• Qualifying Offer Purchases must be made within the promotional period, which ends on Nov. 5, 2026.
• For each Qualifying Offer Purchase at an eligible merchant that meets the terms of this promotion and that complies with the terms for each Qualifying Offer Purchase and the Capital One Offers Terms & Conditions, we will issue a statement credit, up to the statement credit cap, that matches your final purchase amount, excluding any amount spent on taxes, shipping costs and fees.
• Statement credits available during this promotion are limited to the amount advertised above. Once you earn statement credits meeting that limit—either in a single transaction or across multiple transactions during the promotional period—you will no longer be eligible for statement credits pursuant to this promotion.
• If a Qualifying Offer Purchase would otherwise result in the payment of a statement credit that causes you to exceed your promotional limit, we will attempt to issue a partial statement credit up to that limit. If a transaction is reversed or returned, the portion of the transaction that was reversed or returned will not be eligible for statement credit under this promotion.
• Statement credits typically issue within 45 days from your transaction date, but they may take longer in some circumstances. Statement credits are issued in addition to any rewards you may earn from using certain credit cards and the rewards associated with your selected offer, which may be credited before or after your statement credits pursuant to this promotion.

Quick Thoughts

This is a nice little win. I got the offer on my Capital One Spark Miles card (no longer open to new applications), but I’m not sure if it’s only business cardholders who are being targeted, or if people with any type of Capital One card might get targeted.

The way it works is that you shop through Capital One Offers—the shopping portal that’s only available to Capital One credit cardholders—as normal. For every $1 you spend, you get $1 back as a statement credit; in my case, capped at $20 back. That’s on top of the standard miles I’ll earn through the shopping portal.

For example, let’s say I make a $20 purchase at a retailer that’s listed as earning 5X miles. I’ll earn 100 miles at 5X, a $20 statement credit—effectively making the purchase free—as well as the 40 miles earned due to the card’s 2X earning rate.

That could provide some excellent rewards, but those rewards are shared equally among everyone on a booking rather than all being accrued by the primary member.

This offer was originally due to end on September 30, 2026, but it’s been extended for bookings by December 31, 2026, with the travel window also extended through November 30, 2027 (h/t Jon).

The Deal

• Earn American Airlines AAdvantage miles and Loyalty Points at the following levels based on your elite status level when booking through AA Vacations:
  • Member – 5X
  • Gold – 7X
  • Platinum – 8X
  • Platinum Pro – 9X
  • Executive Platinum – 11X
• Direct link to offer.

Key Terms

• Customer needs to be an AAdvantage member.
• Applicable for bookings on aavacations.com only.
• Applicable to all destinations.
• No minimum spend or minimum stay apply.
• To receive offer, purchase a vacation package 7/1/2026 through 12/31/2026. All travel must start after 7/3/2026 and finish by 11/30/2027 for promotion to apply.
• No blackout dates apply.
• No promo code needed.
• Miles and Loyalty Points will be earned based on total package value (excludes taxes, fees or mileage redemption).
• Customers who are included in a Package (with AAdvantage number added for each customer) at the time of booking will earn AAdvantage miles and Loyalty Points based on the AAdvantage status of the customer with the highest AAdvantage status to determine the total amount of AAdvantage miles and Loyalty Points available for distribution to customers.
• To receive AAdvantage miles and Loyalty Points in full, each customer must be an AAdvantage member at the time of booking. A customer can become an AAdvantage member for free by registering at aa.com/web/loyalty/profile/enrollment.
• If any customer is not an AAdvantage member, the calculations above will still be performed but the non-member(s) will not receive their allocation of AAdvantage miles or Loyalty Points and the AAdvantage miles and Loyalty Points that otherwise would have been allocated to such non-member customer(s) will be invalid (i.e., they will not be deposited in or transferable to the account of the Booker or any customer).
• If an AAdvantage member’s AAdvantage number is not included in the Package booking, such individual will not be considered an AAdvantage member for purposes of earning AAdvantage miles and Loyalty Points.
• For example: Mileage allocation for a three-customer package totaling 9,000 AAdvantage miles and Loyalty Points with only two of the three customers being AAdvantage members, each AAdvantage member will receive 3000 AAdvantage miles and Loyalty Points, and the third customer will receive nothing.
• Customer must be an AAdvantage member at the time of booking. Each customer’s AAdvantage number must be entered at the time of booking. Any customer who is not an AAdvantage member at the time of booking will not earn AAdvantage miles or Loyalty Points for the booking.
• Certain airfares are not eligible to earn AAdvantage miles. Basic Economy fares are not eligible.
• American Airlines Vacations reserves the right to change our mileage accrual plan at any time.
• No cap on miles earned per package.
• Only flights booked within the booking window and with a departure date within the travel window will count towards this promotion; however, any changes made to a booking (except the addition of an AAdvantage number) made before the departure date will also count toward this promotion.

Quick Thoughts

AA Vacations normally awards 1X mile and Loyalty Point per dollar for those without status and 5X for AAdvantage members with any level of status. This limited time promotion awards 5X for those without status and increases all the way up to 11X for those with Executive Platinum status.

Earning rates of 5X-11X could make it much easier to rack up both redeemable miles for award flights and Loyalty Points towards elite status. However, it’s not necessarily quite as generous as you might be imagining.

On the one hand, it is very generous. The number of miles and Loyalty Points earned are calculated based on the highest elite status level that anyone on the booking holds. That means that if one person has, say, Executive Platinum status but no one else traveling with them has status, all those other people’s earnings benefit from the 11X earning rate.

However, the downside for many people will be that the AAdvantage miles and Loyalty Points then get divvied up equally among all the people who are booked as part of the package. Let’s say a family of four spends $5,000 on a package and one of the people traveling has Executive Platinum status. That means they’d earn at an 11X rate, so 55,000 miles and 55,000 Loyalty Points. I imagine that many people would prefer to have all those miles and Loyalty Points accrue to the person who has status seeing as they’re likely the one who’s shooting for status and who has the most miles already. In this scenario though, the 55,000 miles and Loyalty Points would be shared equally among all four people on that booking, so they’d earn 13,750 each.

It’ll be worth ensuring that everyone on a booking has an AAdvantage account, otherwise their share of miles and Loyalty Points will go to waste.

The Deal

• Get 100% off purchase fees when you buy Visa and Mastercard gift cards from TheGiftCardShop and use promo code CUSTOM26.

Direct link to offer

Key Terms

• Expires November 11, 2026.

Quick Thoughts

This is a nice long purchase window to take advantage of this offer. Buying digital cards is the best option (as long as you can liquidate them easily) because you’ll pay zero fees on the purchase. If you buy physical cards, you’ll still have to pay shipping fees.

Be aware that you won’t earn points if you buy with Amex cards, so you’ll want to pay with a credit card issued by a different bank.

Until December 20th, you can get a $45 Costco Cash card when you buy a new Gold or Executive Membership and set up auto-renewal. The same offer is available through Groupon, which could be preferable for using rewards and/or earning through a shopping portal.

The Deals

Costco is running a promotion that awards a $45 Costco Cash Card with the purchase of a new Gold or Executive Membership.

• • Must set account to auto-renewal at enrollment
  • Expires 12/20/26

Direct Link to Offer

Direct Link to Groupon Offer

Terms and Conditions

• To receive a Digital Costco Shop Card, you must provide a valid email address and set up auto-renewal for your Costco membership on a Visa® credit/debit card or Mastercard debit card at sign-up.
• If you elect not to enroll in auto renewal at the time of sign-up, incentives will not be owed.
• Valid only for new members and those who have not been a Costco member (in any capacity, Primary, Household, or Affiliate) in the last 18 months.
• Valid only for nonmembers for their first year of membership.
• Not valid for upgrade or renewal of an existing membership.
• Promotion may not be combined with any other promotions.
• Digital Costco Shop Card will be emailed to the email address provided by the Primary Member at the time of sign-up within 2 weeks after successful sign-up and enrollment in auto-renewal.
• Digital Costco Shop Card is not redeemable for cash, except as required by law.

Quick Thoughts

If you’ve been thinking about joining Costco or want a bit more space in your annual 2% rebate (like I often am), this could be a good opportunity to get off the fence and try it for a year.

Normally, Costco breaks these promos into two tiers: one for a Gold membership and another, richer offer for Executive. This time, it’s offering $45 regardless of which one you select, making it an excellent deal for the $65/year Gold version.

If you are signing up for a second membership, use a different email address and phone number than those associated with your current membership. Costco won’t let you use the same info on two memberships. You can, however, have both a business and a personal account at the same address.

Don’t forget to enroll in auto-renewal when you sign up; not doing it will void the incentive. You can always unenroll once you’ve received your cash card.

• why would you want two memberships? by Jeff

 

That sounds great on the surface, but Bilt Rewards redeem at ~0.7 cents each when used this way, so even the 100% bonus for Platinum members will push it to only ~1.4 cents, below our Reasonable Redemption Value of 1.55 cents each for Bilt Points.

In addition to the gift card promo, Bilt cardholders will also get an opportunity for a hotel discount along with the normal mix of other Rent Day promos, including double points on all non-rent purchases (up to 1,000 bonus points).

Bilt Rent Day Deals for November

• Bilt cardholders will get a 25%-100% bonus when redeeming Bilt points for gift card purchases through 3 am Eastern on November 2nd.
  • Bonus rates depend on status in the Bilt Rewards program:
    • Blue = 25% bonus
    • Silver = 50% bonus
    • Gold = 75% bonus
    • Platinum = 100%  bonus
• You can also get a $50, $100, or $150 discount on hotel bookings through Bilt Travel through 3 am Eastern on November 2nd. The spend needed to reach each discount level varies by elite level (and perhaps some other metric). Here is my offer based on being a Gold member with a Palladium card:
  • $50 off one booking of $500+
  • $75 off one booking of $750+
  • $150 off one booking of $1000+
  • Only one discount can be used per account
• Also, earn double points on the Bilt Mastercard in all categories (up to 1,000 bonus points) on 11/1/26 only:
  • Dining – 6x points (normally 3x)
  • Travel – 4x points (normally 2x)
  • All other spend, excluding rent – 2x points (normally 1x)

Quick Thoughts

This month’s bonus might sound lucrative, but it isn’t. Unfortunately, Bilt’s standard rate for gift card redemptions is a measly 0.7 cents each. Because of that, the promo will only elevate them to somewhere between .875 – 1.4 cents of value when using them for gift cards, well below what could be had by transferring the points to travel partners.

There might be folks out there who have millions of Bilt Points to burn. For them, the opportunity to redeem some of them for gift cards at ~1 cent each could be appealing. For the rest of us with more modest balances, it probably won’t move the needle much…and shouldn’t.

The hotel discount amounts to 10-15% on one hotel booking through the Bilt Travel portal. If that works for you and the price is equivalent to other channels, great; just be sure to comparison shop and factor in lost shopping portal rewards.

This isn’t an inspiring Rent Day/ That said, the normal 2x earnings on the 1st will still be in effect, so don’t forget to bust your card out if you have one.
