Apple is already on many shopping portals, but there’s always a laundry list of exclusions that encompass many of Apple’s most popular products – things like current-year MacBooks and iPhones. Flying Blue’s portal doesn’t exclude those items, allowing folks making a substantial Apple purchase to add portal rewards onto whatever they already earn from their credit card.

The Deal

• Air France/KLM Flying Blue has a new Apple shopping portal that awards miles on products most portals exclude.
  • Earnings seem to vary from 1x to 4x, depending on the product

Direct Link to Portal

Quick Thoughts

Most US-based consumers would likely prefer to earn miles from AA or another domestic partner when it’s in the small amounts you usually receive from shopping portals, but that’s not an option with new-ish Apple devices. Not only does the new Flying Blue portal provide you an avenue to do just that, but it also puts those miles into a program that’s a partner of quite literally every transferable currency in the known world. Now that Flying Blue has fixed its formerly ridiculous expiration policy, it’s fairly safe to accumulate miles there, knowing you’ll eventually be able to use them.

While this isn’t earth-shattering, it is a canny antidote to a common frustration we’ve heard from many folks over the years: It’s quite easy to find Apple products on many shopping portals, but hard to earn rewards on the items that you actually want. Not anymore.

The American Airlines AAdvantage shopping portal is currently offering a higher payout of 2.5 miles and loyalty points per dollar spent at Giftcards.com. While that’s less generous than the 3x offer we used to see, it’s the best we seem to get from the AAdvantage portal these days.

The Deal

• American Airlines AAdvantage eShopping is offering 2.5 miles per dollar spent at GiftCards.com.
• Direct link to this deal

Key Terms

• Rewards are not eligible on: Purchases made with coupon or discount codes not found on this site.
• Special terms: Orders over $2,000.00 are not eligible.

Quick Thoughts

Remember that the 2.5 miles per dollar spent means both 2.5 redeemable miles and 2.5 Loyalty Points per dollar spent. That could make this a deal worth keeping in mind if you’re in the market for American Airlines miles.

This is the best deposit-to-earning ratio we’ve seen for a new Chase business checking account. Even better, there’s no direct deposit requirement and a very low activity threshold. (h/t: reader Greg)

The Deal

• Chase is offering the following bonus after opening a new business checking account and making qualified total deposits of:
  • $500 after $2,000 in deposits
• Money must be deposited within 30 days of enrollment and remain in the account until 60 days after enrollment
• Offer Expires: 7/15/26

Direct Link to Offer

• In order to apply in branch, you must first get an offer code from the link above.
• For online applications, offer code applies automatically.

To receive the business checking bonus:

• Open a new Chase Business Complete Checking account online or present this offer at your local Chase branch.
• Deposit a total of $2,000 or more in new money into your new qualifying checking account within 30 days from offer enrollment. The new money cannot be existing deposits at Chase or its affiliates. Your new money deposit amount will be determined in the following manner at 30 days from offer enrollment:

• Maintain the new money of at least $2,000 in the new checking account for at least 60 days from the offer enrollment. If new money deposit amount decreases below the threshold during the 60 day period, your offer amount may change or your checking account may no longer qualify for the offer.
• Complete 5 qualifying transactions within 90 days of offer enrollment. Qualifying transactions are: debit card purchases, Chase QuickDeposit^SM, ACH credits, wire credits/debits, Chase Online^SM Bill Pay, Chase QuickAccept^®). QuickAccept card payments are combined into one daily qualifying transaction. QuickAccept is not available to all businesses.
• After meeting all requirements, the offer amount will be deposited within 15 days. Account must be open and unrestricted at payout.
• One-time use only. Chase may withdraw the offer at any time.
• Offer is considered interest and may be reported on IRS Form 1099-INT (or Form1042-S, if applicable).

Key Terms and Conditions

• Checking offer is not available to existing Chase business checking customers, local, state or federal government entities or agencies, Not for Profit organizations, Political Action Committees, or those with campaign accounts, or whose accounts have been closed within 90 days or closed with a negative balance within the last 3 years.

• You can receive only one new business checking account opening related bonus every two years from the last enrollment date and only one bonus per account.

• There is a $15 Monthly Service Fee (MSF) that we’ll waive if you meet any of the below qualifying activities for each Chase Business Complete Checking℠ account in a monthly statement period. Qualifying activities for how to avoid the MSF: (A) Maintain a linked Chase Private Client Checking℠ account, (B) Meet Chase Military Banking requirements, or (C) Fulfill at least one of the following qualifying activities: (1) Maintain a Minimum Daily Ending Balance of at least $2,000 in the Chase Business Complete Checking account each business day during the monthly statement period, excluding the last business day of the statement period; (2) Have at least $2,000 of aggregate eligible deposits (net of chargebacks, refunds, or other adjustments) into the Chase Business Complete Checking account, at least one day before the end of the monthly statement period, using one or more of the following: Chase QuickAccept℠ including Chase Smart Terminal℠, InstaMed Patient Payments and InstaMed Patient Portal and/or other eligible Chase Payment Solutions℠ products. Eligible deposits must be made from Chase Payment Solutions associated with the same business as your Chase Business Complete Checking account, as reflected in Chase records. The cutoff time for eligible deposits is 11:59 PM Eastern Time one day prior to the last day of your Chase Business Complete Checking monthly statement period; or (3) Spend at least $2,000 on eligible Chase Ink^® Business card purchases in the most recent monthly Ink card billing cycle, which may be different than your Chase Business Complete Checking monthly statement period. Eligible purchases must be made using Ink Business Card(s) associated with the same business as your Chase Business Complete Checking account, as reflected in Chase records, and must earn Chase Ultimate Rewards^® points.

Quick Thoughts

Based on how I read the terms, you only need to leave the money in the bank for about 35 days to get the bonus. This is because you have to deposit within 30 days and leave it for 60 days…both dates are from enrollment. So, you could transfer the money in on day 25 or so, then transfer it back out on day 61, and still meet the terms. It’s also worth noting that sole proprietorships under an individual’s SSN are eligible.

The $500/$2000 bonus effectively gives you 25% back for parking your $2k with Chase for ~30 days. That’s a heckuva deal.

The nice thing about this set of offers is that it’s about as easy as a bank account bonus can be: no direct deposit requirement, only 5 transactions on the debit card to make it work, and you can stay fee-free by leaving the $2k in the account or by spending $2k/month on an associated Ink Card…AND you can sign up online.

Since Greg’s trip, Necker Island redemptions went away, came back again and now cost a whopping 2 million Virgin points for a week. Even when you’re paying with funny money, that’s a chunk of change. However, for the first time that I’ve seen, Virgin is now offering customers a lower rate for a shorter, three-night stay: 750,000 points.

Factor in a 30% transfer bonus from Chase Ultimate Rewards, and the price goes down to a “bargain” 576,924 points.

The Deal

• Book a three-night stay for 2 people on Necker Island for 750,000 Virgin points
  • Additional nights can be added for 250,000 points/night
  • Includes food, drinks, and a boat transfer.
  • Chase currently has a 30% transfer bonus to Virgin that brings the price down to ~577k Ultimate Rewards points

Direct Link to Offer

Terms and Conditions

• Stays are permitted over Individual Stay Weeks in 2026, subject to availability. You can check our availability for a room booking over Individual Stay Weeks by contacting the reservations team directly at +44 208 600 0430 / 0800 716 919 or via email at enquiries@virginlimitededition.com.
• The points price is based on two people sharing a Great House Room for three nights at Necker Island and includes all meals, all drinks (including alcohol), and a boat transfer to and from Beef Island/Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS).
• A minimum three-night stay applies to all bookings. The minimum three-night stay must be redeemed entirely using Virgin Points and cannot be combined with paid nights. Guests wishing to extend their stay beyond the initial two-night redemption may book additional nights at the applicable cash rate, subject to availability.
• This offer is subject to availability. Should your preferred dates be unavailable, our team will be pleased to suggest alternative options. Blackout dates may apply.
• A maximum of bookings is allowed to be booked per year using this offer, please contact us at enquiries@virginlimitededition.com for more information.
• Point redemptions and cash upgrades cannot be used in conjunction with special offers.
• Upgrades to higher room categories may be available upon request by paying the applicable cash supplement. Any upgrade supplement must be paid in full at the time of booking. Virgin Points may not be used towards room category upgrades, which are payable in cash only.
• Points cannot be earned on any additional spend accrued during the stay (for example, paid activities or spa treatments).
• Points prices vary according to the dates of your stay and will be confirmed before you complete your booking.
• Stays cannot be transferred, sold, or awarded as prizes without prior written authorisation.
• Flights are not included. You must make your own travel arrangements to and from Beef Island/Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS).
• Bookings must be made no later than 3 days (72 hours) prior to arrival, which is the final opportunity to secure and confirm a reservation. All bookings must be fully confirmed and Virgin Points redeemed by this deadline; requests within 3 days (72 hours) of arrival cannot be accommodated.

Quick Thoughts

250K points per night is only ~10% less than the 2-million-per-week rate that Virgin has been charging for the last few years. The novelty here is that you don’t have to commit to the full week; instead, you can just get a taste of how the other 0.00001% lives for a trifling 750,000 points.

I know what you’re thinking: Is Necker Island really worth all that bling? Back in the halcyon days of 2016, when Greg made his foray into the heart of the Virgin empire for a mere 1.2 million points, his answer was an unequivocal “yes.” Not everyone agrees, though. A couple of years ago, a Head for Points contributor paid $8,000/night to check out the island and called it “a piss-up that offers no more than a budget holiday to Spain.”

Greg felt compelled to defend Necker’s besmirched honor in a response post that’s well worth the read, concluding that, “It’s hard to make a case for Necker Island unless you’re extremely cash or points wealthy. On the other hand, for us at least, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that was well worth the cost.”

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

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

The Deal

• Capital One Offers has a variety of improved spending deals that can get you 50% or more back from your purchase in the form of cash or miles
  • Offers are available both in-store and online, depending on the retailer
  • Check exclusions before making purchases
  • Most seem to expire on 6/25/26, although any individual offer might be gone before then
  • You can only have three in-store offers active at one time
  • Retailers include:
    • Sam’s Club and BJ’s Wholesale
    • Best Buy
    • Lowe’s
    • Home Depot
    • CVS
    • Dollar General
    • Staples / Office Depot
    • Priceline
    • Hotels.com
    • Many more

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

Quick Thoughts

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

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

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

Dan’s Deals has uncovered a working link to subscribe to ChatGPT Business and get the second seat free for 4 years. That means that with the link below, as long as this deal lasts, you’ll be able to sign up for ChatGPT Business for 2 people for a total of $25 a month (possibly plus tax). That would mean that the new $300 ChatGPT business credit on Business Platinum cards and Business Gold cards could theoretically cover the cost in full each year, provided you’ve remembered to enroll in the benefit, and your state doesn’t have sales tax. Enrollment is required, so be sure to do that before you sign up.

The Deal

• At the time of writing the link below is offering a $25 per month discount for four years for ChatGPT Business. This means it is possible to sign up for the minimum two seats required for a total of $25 per month instead of $50 per month. This deal may get pulled at any time so if you don’t see the promotional pricing after clicking through, it might be dead.
• Direct link to this deal

Key Terms

• Promotional pricing applies for 48 months
• Starting May 15, 2030, ChatGPT Team will continue at $25/month.
• Cancel any time
• See landing page for full details

Quick Thoughts

Last month, American Express launched a new benefit on the Business Platinum and Business Gold cards: up to $300 per calendar year in statement credits for ChatGPT Business subscriptions. As we noted in our post about the addition of that benefit, ChatGPT business requires signing up for a minimum of two users. Ordinarily, that costs $25 per month per seat, for a total of $50 per month at minimum. As a result, we suggested that if you have one qualifying card, you could wait until July to sign up and have July to December 2026 covered by your 2026 benefit, and January to June of next year covered by the 2027 benefit, in order to get an uninterrupted year of access free after rebate.

However, Dan’s Deals has uncovered a working link to an even better deal. If you sign up through the link under the deal above, at the time of writing, you should get $25 off per month, giving you two seats for a total of $25 per month for four years. That would mean that your $300 per-calendar-year benefit would cover your subscription each year for the next four years. Note that some states have sales tax on the ChatGPT business membership. In my state, the sales tax added 8%, so I will have to pay $2 per month for the next four years to have ChatGPT business for two people.

It is also important to note that when I went to subscribe, it defaulted to a subscription for five users. I had to reduce the number of seats to two in order to see it for $25 per month, as shown below.

This surely won’t last long, so if you’re interested, I would recommend taking advantage of it as soon as possible.

• Expires 7/5/26
• Discount coupon good through 8/9/26
• Stack with an Amex Offer for $10 off a Groupon purchase of $50 or more
• Stack with shopping portal (current Groupon rates can be found here)

Direct Link to Offer (our affiliate link)

• Limit 1 Groupon voucher per person. Valid in the U.S. only. All sales final.
• 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.
• Not valid for upgrade or renewal of an existing membership. Promotion may not be combined with any other promotion. To purchase this package, you must be 18 years of age or over.
• Costco is not liable for incentives not received due to entry of an invalid address during sign-up.
• Photo identification required when you visit the warehouse to pick up your membership card.

One promo code per new member. The Costco.com promo code is valid through August 9, 2026. Ineligible purchases include new Costco memberships, Costco membership renewals, Gift of Membership, Costco Shop Cards, retail gift cards, custom installation services, and Same-Day Grocery Delivery. Promo code will not be replaced if lost or stolen. Promo code amount will not be reissued if merchandise is returned. Code restrictions apply. Not valid for orders at online Costco Pharmacy, Costco Travel, Costco Next or Costco Business Delivery. The merchandise total in your cart must equal $250 or more before tax and shipping to receive the $100 off for Executive Memberships, or $150 or more before tax and shipping to receive the $50 off for Gold Star Memberships. The promo code must be entered in the promo code box at checkout to be valid.

Quick Thoughts

If you’ve been thinking about joining Costco or if you’ve been looking to add a bit more space to 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.

If you are signing up for a second membership, make sure to use a different e-mail and phone number than what’s associated with your current one. 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.

The Deal

• Save 20% on an ALL Accor+ Voyager subscription when using promo code ALLACCORPLUS.
• Direct link to offer.

Key Terms

• Expires June 30, 2026.

Quick Thoughts

An ALL Accor+ Voyager subscription normally has an annual subscription cost of €179 (~$208). The 20% discount reduces that to €143.20 (~$166).

The subscription provides the following benefits:

• 15% off on every stay; valid at 30+ Accor brands and it’s valid for one or two rooms
• 20 Status Nights towards elite status
• Guaranteed room availability up to two days before your stay
• Access to premium customer service

The eligible brands at which you can save 15% are as follows:

• Luxury: Raffles, Sofitel Legend, SO/, Fairmont, Sofitel, MGallery
• Premium: 21c Museum Hotels, Art Series, Mondrian, Pullman, Swissotel, Swissotel Living, Mövenpick, Mövenpick Living, Grand Mercure, Peppers, The Sebel, Adagio Premium
• Midscale: Handwritten, Mantra, Novotel, Novotel Living, Novotel Suites, Mercure, Mercure Living, By Mercure, Tribe, Adagio Original
• Economy: Breakfree, ibis, ibis Styles, Adagio Access, greet, ibis budget
• Excluded properties: ibis budget, ibis, and ibis Styles hotels in mainland China, on select blackout dates (no more than 10 nights per year; check here), and the properties found on this list

It’s worth being aware that the 15% discount can’t be stacked with any other promotional offers. That presumably means that when Accor is offering, say, a 20% or 25% sale, or when there’s a sale when booking in the app, that you won’t get an additional 15% taken off those already lowered prices.

The 20 Status Nights might be of interest for some. That’ll get you automatic Silver status as that only requires 10 Status Nights. Benefits of Silver status with ALL Accor are:

• Welcome drink
• Priority welcome
• Late check-out
• 24% bonus points earned on paid stays

Gold status requires 30 Status Nights in a calendar year; that means you’d earn it with 10 more nights actually stayed. Additional Gold status benefits are:

• Guaranteed room availability (although that itself is a benefit of an ALL Accor+ Voyager subscription)
• Room upgrades
• Early check-in or late check-out
• 48% bonus points earned on paid stays

Those are the two most meaningful benefits of the Voyager subscription, but in all reality you’d want the anticipated 15% savings on room rates to come to more than $166 in the next year to make it worth prepaying for the benefit of hoping to be able to recoup that cost in the next 12 months.

Seeing as Accor appears to process payment for the subscription themselves, it hopefully codes as hotels/travel. It’s also worth clicking through to Accor from a shopping portal just in case a subscription purchase tracks.

Question

Do you have—or have you had in the past—an ALL Accor+ Voyager subscription? If so, did it provide you with legitimate savings over any kind of publicly available / member rates? Please let us know in the comments below.

The Deal

• Costco.com is selling $100 inKind gift cards for $64.99.

Direct link to offer

If you’re 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. Feel free to use one of our links with our thanks:

• Carrie’s referral link
• Greg’s referral link
• Nick’s referral link
• Tim’s referral link
• Stephen’s referral link

Key Terms

• Valid 6/15/26 through 6/21/26.
• Limit 5 per membership.

Quick Thoughts

inKind has had a number of Amex Offers and other discounts over the past couple of years. I ignored it for a while, but then finally signed up and have enjoyed the couple of chances I’ve had to use it.

For those unaware, inKind is a payment app. Participating restaurants allow you to settle your restaurant tab within the app, eliminating the need to give your credit card to the server (and wait for them to return with it). I was skeptical as to how useful this would be, but I’ve used it several times now and found it easy to use and convenient to simply type the check number into the app and settle the bill without any wait time.

The drawback, of course, is that you’re limited to restaurants that accept inKind payments. They certainly aren’t everywhere, though the footprint seems to be growing. Nick used it at Chef José Andrés’s Jaleo DC and Michelin-starred Gramercy Tavern in New York City, and I’ve been able to use it at several well-regarded spots in Seattle.

If you have a Costco Executive membership, you’ll also earn 2% back on the purchase as that’s earned even on gift card purchases like these.

A couple of days ago, the relatively new payment method Paze—brought to you by the company behind Zelle—launched an insanely good promotion that has the potential to be our Deal of the Year for 2026. Paze is giving $10 back when spending $10+ which, in and of itself, is a decent enough deal.

What makes it better is that there’s a limit of $100 back (i.e. up to 10 transactions of $10+). That’s not all though. That $100 limit is per card rather than per person. With participating banks including Chase, Citi, Bank of America, Capital One, PNC, and more, its potential lucrativeness is only capped by how many eligible cards you and your household have (and by how much you want to deal with numerous $10+ transactions).

But that’s still not all! One of the retailers that accepts Paze is Newegg and their site sells a wide range of $10 (and two $5) third party gift cards, so this was effectively free money if reselling the gift cards or a bunch of free shopping trips and/or restaurant visits if buying the gift cards for personal use.

“Was” being the operative word. That’s because even though the Paze promotion is still running—and is due to run through September 10, 2026—the most lucrative avenue for redeeming the offer has gone. No more Newegg.

Newegg cut off the ability to buy gift cards using Paze last night. It was also announced that the separate 10X bonus Ultimate Rewards points promotion will no longer be earned on any Newegg purchases from July 1, 2026 onwards.

The elimination of the ability to buy $10 gift cards is a real shame as this was an incredibly lucrative opportunity. That said, it’s not at all surprising that it ended as there’s no way that Paze intended for it to be quite so easy to max out the offer across your whole suite of cards. That was naive of them, but at least the overall deal isn’t ending—only the ability to easily buy gift cards is.

So, what’s left? Doctor of Credit has a helpful list here. Included on there are options such as:

• Newegg non-gift card purchases
• Dunkin’ (includes when sending gift cards for now)
• Domino’s
• Sephora
• Fanatics
• Wendy’s

Even if you don’t feel like you need to buy anything from any of those retailers/restaurants, it might still be possible for you to put your credits to good use. For example, you could pick up donuts from Dunkin’ for your kid’s teachers or work colleagues.

Check with them ahead of time, but domestic violence and homeless shelters might happily accept a whole bunch of Domino’s pizzas in the evening. You could open multiple tabs of the Domino’s website on your computer, then quickly check out in each tab one at a time to ensure the pizzas are ready for you to pick up at roughly the same time. Same goes for Wendy’s, and Dunkin’ for that matter.

Do you have any family members or friends who’d appreciate a bunch of small items from Sephora? Similar for Fanatics.

A few nights ago—before the $10 Paze promo began—I noticed that Paze is accepted on at least some local restaurant websites that use Clover to process payments. That might be an avenue worth looking into if your favorite local joint uses Clover and they let you buy items online rather than in-restaurant, however tangible or intangible those items may be.

Just remember that you have to spend a minimum of $10 in order to trigger the statement credit. i.e. a purchase of, say, $9.79 won’t get you a $9.79 statement credit. The good thing is that taxes do count towards that $10 threshold.

• Offer valid at participating Wyndham Hotels & Resorts in the US and Canada. Please reference wyndhamhotels.com/amex-offer-midscale to view participating properties.

Quick Thoughts

There was a similar Amex Offer last year, although that one gave $40 back when spending $200 at Wyndham’s midscale brands, whereas this latest iteration gives $50 back when spending $250.

There are more than 2,000 eligible properties in the US and Canada (you can find the full list here), so it’s likely not going to be hard to find something near where you want/need to stay.

Don’t forget to click through from a shopping portal before booking; here are the current rates. Also be sure to register for Wyndham’s latest promotion.

The Deal

• Spend $50 at Groupon in one or more purchases & get $10 back with a targeted Amex Offer.
• Direct link to MGM Resorts gift cards on Groupon.

Key Terms

• Expires July 26, 2026.
• Offer valid online only at US website groupon.com or through the Groupon mobile app.
• Purchases must be made in USD, and offer is only valid on purchases made directly with the merchant.

Quick Thoughts

The Amex Offer is valid on any Groupon purchases, not just MGM Resorts gift cards. I wanted to highlight that as an option though seeing as Groupon sells $50 denominations for $50. That’s not worth it ordinarily, but saving 20% on a $50 gift card makes it a good deal.

Groupon lets you add five cards to your cart, so hopefully you can buy one gift card to trigger the Amex Offer statement credit on one card, then buy up to four more if you have the Amex Offer on any other household cards.

A word of caution though. When this Amex Offer launched a couple of weeks ago, quite a few people bought discounted Krispy Kreme gift cards from Groupon as you could buy $25 cards for $20. Buying $75 of those for $60 therefore cost a net $50 after the $10 statement credit from the Amex Offer for a total discount of 33.3%. I didn’t follow people’s travails too closely, but my understanding is that many of the Krispy Kreme gift cards isued by Groupon were ones that they’d sold in the past and had since been redeemed, so people had the hassle of either getting newly-issued cards or a refund for their purchase(s). That’s hopefully not going to be the case with MGM Resorts gift cards, but after buying one it might be best to balance check it before buying more.

Gift card purchases from Groupon have tracked on shopping portals in the past, so hopefully purchases of these MGM Resorts gift cards will also track in order to earn additional rewards.

Quick Thoughts

If you have one of these cards in mind, these bonuses can be a terrific deal, although it might be possible to do better via referrals.

In the past, Bank of America didn’t offer rewards to existing cardholders for referring others to new cards. That recently changed on a targeted basis, so you might be able to earn $100 cashback by referring your partner (or vice versa). On the Chase side, if you have a household member who can refer you, check for a referral offer, as it might make more sense to use your household member’s referral link. Either way, stacking additional cash back or Bilt points on top of one of these welcome offers can be a really nice enhancement.

Keep in mind that these offers can and do change frequently. We don’t know how long these offers will last, nor if they’ll increase or decrease in the coming days.

Perhaps the most welcome one for many people will be the return of Walmart as an option, although not everyone is seeing that. You can also redeem your shopping portal rewards for Atlantis Bahamas gift cards which could come in handy if you’re planning a stay there. I’m not sure if it’s been an option for a while, but another travel-related option is Seaworld/Busch Gardens gift cards.

I (Stephen) am no longer seeing Apple, Hotels.com, nor Best Western as redemption options on my account, but they might well still appear on yours.

Nick’s original post follows.

Capital One Shopping, the public shopping portal, has added some very interesting gift card redemption options, including Apple and Princess Cruises. Note that we sometimes see gift card redemption options come and go. For instance, though I’ve had Best Western available in my account for a long time, Stephen reported this morning that Best Western and eBay showed up in his account for the first time in a while. I’ve consistently had options that I frequently use, like Hotels.com and Marriott gift cards, but there are lots of other useful options that have been added in the last few days.

The Deal

• Capital One Shopping has added many new gift card redemptions on the site today, including Apple gift cards, Princess Cruises gift cards, and more.
• Direct link to gift card redemption options 

Quick Thoughts

As a reminder, Capital One Shopping is a publicly available shopping portal. You do not need a Capital One account of any sort to use Capital One Shopping. However, the rewards earned through Capital One Shopping can only be redeemed for gift cards. The options available for gift card redemption change over time, though I’ve noticed that the options in my account have mostly stabilized over the last year, with some minor ebb and flow in availability. The brands I care most about, including Hotels.com and Marriott.com, have been available in my account for at least a year if I recall correctly. However, when I saw Apple available as a gift card redemption option over the weekend, I knew that would be of great interest to those readers who have built up a sizable amount of Capital One Shopping rewards.

I see numerous other options newly available in my account today, including Princess Cruises. I’ve not seen that particular option before. I also see many lesser-value brands.

Keep in mind that many merchant gift cards can be purchased at a discount through various channels now and then. That said, I’m happy to see a wider range of gift card redemption options, as that makes it increasingly likely that you’ll find a good option for you through your Capital One Shopping account.

It’s worth mentioning that some users seem to have a lot of difficulty with Capital One Shopping offers tracking properly. I’ve had great success with the portal, earning five figures worth of cash back in my account alone. I continue using it frequently, and I’m glad to see more gift card redemption options for those of us who are finding success with it.

That could make it the perfect time to make use of any Delta Stays credits that you might have on Amex Delta cards.

The Deals

• Delta Cars & Stays is running the following promotions:
  • Earn 5X SkyMiles when booking first hotel stay
    • Direct link to offer
  • Save 15% when redeeming SkyMiles on hotel stays and rental cars
    • Direct link to offer
  • Earn 1X Medallion Qualification Dollar (MQD) per $1 spent on hotel stays and rental cars
    • Direct link to offer

Key Terms

• 5X promo
  • Book by August 23, 2026 for stays through December 31, 2026.
  • Offer is not eligible for stays booked as part of a vacations package purchased from Delta Vacations or for vacation rentals booked with Airbnb.
  • This offer is valid only for SkyMiles Members who have not made and completed a reservation with Delta Stays in the last 24 months (determined on a rolling basis).
  • Eligible SkyMiles Members will earn three (3) additional miles per US$1 or equivalent foreign currency spent on the base hotel rate (“Qualifying Dollars”) for their first completed stay booked on carsandstays.delta.com, in addition to the everyday value proposition. “Qualifying Dollars” includes the base hotel room rate charged at the time of booking, but excludes taxes, fees, gratuities, room service, other booking charges, any element of the booking which is paid or reduced by redemption vouchers or discount codes and any booking in which miles are used as a form of payment (whether that booking uses miles for all or only a portion of the transaction). For clarity, if miles are used as a form of payment (whether for all or a portion of the booking), the booking will not be eligible to earn any miles under this offer.
• 15% off with SkyMiles promo
  • Book by June 30, 2026 for stays and rentals through December 31, 2026.
  • The discount will be automatically applied, and no code is needed to apply this promotion to the reservation of a car rental or hotel stay.

For clarity, this offer does not include any car rentals or stays booked through Delta Vacations, any cruises booked through Delta Cruises, or any vacation rentals booked with Airbnb.
• 1X MQDs promo
  • Book by July 20, 2026 for stays & rentals through December 15, 2026.
  • Earn Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQDs) upon the completion of a qualifying car rental, hotel or vacation rental booking. For clarity, this offer does not include any stays or car rentals booked through Delta Vacations or any cruises booked through Delta Cruises.
  • SkyMiles Members will earn 1 MQD per eligible US$1 or equivalent foreign currency (“Qualifying Dollars”) spent on the base car rental rate for every completed rental booking, and on the base hotel or vacation rental rate for every completed stay. Qualifying Dollars include the base car rental rate and the base hotel room or vacation rental property rate, before taxes and fees, charged at the time of booking or upon checkout. Taxes, fees, gratuities, room service, other booking charges, or any bookings which are paid or reduced by miles, redemption vouchers or discount codes are excluded from MQD credit and are not included in the Qualifying Dollars. For clarity, if miles are used as a form of payment (whether for all or a portion of the booking), no portion of the booking will be eligible to earn MQDs.
  • A qualifying car rental booking includes rentals at a participating location for one or more days at rates other than travel industry rates or discounts, wholesale of tour package rates or discounts, wholesale tour package rates, insurance/dealer replacement rates, corporate and government rates, group travel discounts, or rentals in conjunction with a frequent flyer car award, or other corporate agreements applicable to the respective car company.

Quick Thoughts

If you haven’t ever booked a hotel through Delta Cars & Stays, earning 5X miles—increased from the usual 2X you’ll earn—is a decent return. It’ll be regarded as a booking through an Online Travel Agency (OTA) though, so you won’t earn hotel points, receive elite status benefits, etc. This will therefore make the most sense if you have a Delta Stays credit to use up on an eligible Delta credit card, or if you also want to earn MQDs on the stay.

Speaking of which, earning MQDs is another of the three limited time promotions. You don’t normally earn MQDs towards SkyMiles status, but Delta Cars & Stays does occasionally run these promotions for a short period whereby you can earn 1X MQDs on both hotel stays and car rentals. That’ll also stack with Delta Stays credits on Delta credit cards, along with the 5X first booking offer above. While the 5X offer is only valid on hotel stays, the 1X MQDs offer is valid on both hotel stays and car rentals.

Last, and most certainly least, is the ability to save 15% when redeeming SkyMiles towards hotel bookings and car rentals. That’s very poor value ordinarily and it’s still poor value even with the 15% discount. For the hotel bookings I was looking at, I was seeing values of 0.82-0.95 cents per point of value by redeeming miles—even with the discount—so that’s not at all worth it. That said, it might be worth double checking pricing for any stays or rentals you’re interested in; because I was seeing a range of values, perhaps there are some bookings you can make that’ll give solid enough value when redeeming SkyMiles.

Apple is the boosted retailer today on the Capital One Shopping and Capital One Offers shopping portals. I’m seeing rates of 6% and 9X respectively, but there might be even better targeted offers out there.

The Deal

• Earn 6% cashback through Capital One Shopping or 9X miles through Capital One Offers for purchases made from Apple.

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 June 16, 2026.
• To earn the rebate you must make an eligible purchase at apple.com.
• Products that are not eligible for cash back/points are iPhone 17e, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17, iPhone Air, MacBook Neo, Studio Display, Studio Display XDR, Apple Vision Pro, all Apple Vision Pro accessories, gift cards, Apple Developer Programs, AppleCare+ monthly subscription and shipping.
• Orders purchased from government or veteran and military stores are not eligible for Capital One Shopping rewards.
• Apple sells and ships products to end-user customers only; you may not purchase for resale.
• Your rewards are subject to lifetime limits of: (a) six (6) units per model in each of the following product categories: iPhone, Mac, iPad, Watch, Vision, Apple TV, and HomePod; (b) thirty-two (32) units of each of the following: AirTag 1-pack and AirTag accessories; (c) eight (8) AirTag 4-pack; and (d) ten (10) units of each of the following: AirPods and other eligible accessories.
• The lifetime limit applies to any purchase you make from the Apple Store website and app.
• Rewards will not be issued once you exceed the lifetime limit for a product.

Quick Thoughts

6% cashback isn’t a particularly high earning rate as far as normal Capital One Shopping deals of the day go, but it’s still a pretty good return considering the low rewards usually on offer from shopping portals for purchases from Apple. Some people are only seeing 3% cashback, but you might see higher targeted offers appear via email throughout the day, so keep an eye on your inbox.

If you have a Capital One credit card, be sure to also check Capital One Offers—the shopping portal that’s only available for Capital One cardholders. I’m seeing 9X miles which is on top of the rewards you’d earn on whichever card you pay with. Note that even though you have to be a Capital One cardholder to have access to Capital One Offers, you don’t actually have to pay with it when making a purchase after clicking through from Capital One Offers; you can pay with a card issued by any bank.

If you’re new to Capital One Offers, you can find it when logging in to your Capital One account. Scroll down to the section where it says ‘Activate shopping offers’; click on ‘View all offers’ and on the next screen near the top you should see your Apple rate.

Be sure to note that there are all kinds of excluded Apple products in the terms and conditions listed above.

If you spend a cumulative $200 in one or more transactions through the portal, you’ll earn 2,000 bonus Rapid Rewards points.

The Deal

• Earn 2,000 bonus Rapid Rewards points when spending $200+ through the Southwest shopping portal.
• Direct link to offer.

Key Terms

• During the “Summer Bonus” offer, which runs from June 15, 2026 at 12:00 a.m. ET through June 29, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. ET (the “Bonus Period”), Rapid Rewards Shopping Member will earn a one-time bonus of 2,000 Rapid Rewards bonus points on qualifying purchases, in addition to the standard Rapid Rewards points earned from shopping online through Rapid Rewards Shopping.
• “Qualifying purchases” do not include returns, cancellations, shipping and handling, taxes, gift card, or other cash-equivalent purchases, and certain products that are not eligible for bonus points.
• This one-time bonus award will be determined based on Member’s cumulative qualifying purchases made during the Bonus Period: Earn 2,000 Rapid Rewards bonus points for qualifying purchases of $200 or more.
• Please allow up to 10 weeks after the Bonus Period for Rapid Rewards bonus points to post to your Rapid Rewards account.
• Bonus points will not count toward A-List, A-List Preferred, or Companion Pass® qualification.

Quick Thoughts

Airline shopping portal promotions generally award bonuses that are worth an effective 2X-5X on your spend, but usually on the lower end of that range. This new offer through the Southwest portal is therefore notable due to how generous it is. Earning an effective 10X Rapid Rewards points per dollar on $200 of spend is an excellent return that could make it very much worthwhile clicking through for your next online purchase(s).

It’s helpful that this promo is running for two full weeks as well, thereby making it even easier to hit the $200 spending threshold.

Gift cards are listed as being as excluded, but purchases from Giftcards.com are eligible.

The Deal

• Spend $100+ on room rate & room charges in one or more purchases at participating Wyndham “value” properties in the US & Canada and get $20 back as a statement credit from an Amex Offer. See eligible properties here.

Key Terms

• Expires September 30, 2026.
• Offer valid at participating Wyndham “value” properties in the US and Canada. Please reference wyndhamhotels.com/amex-offer-value to view participating properties.
• Reservations must be made directly with Wyndham Hotels and Resorts online at wyndhamhotels.com.
• Excludes timeshares, and gift card purchases.
• Qualifying purchases must total a minimum of $100 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 useful little offer seeing as the spending requirement is so low. In fact, the $100 spending threshold is so low that at many Wyndham properties you’d need to stay two nights in order to reach it.

There’s a separate Wyndham Amex Offer that’s valid for their luxury properties and gives $100 back on $500 spend. I suspect the two Amex Offers won’t stack due to the participating properties with this new offer not being luxury hotels, but perhaps you’ll get lucky and be able to stack the two offers if you have them on the same card.

You can find the full list of participating hotels here. There are almost 3,500 hotels in the US and Canada at which you can redeem this offer, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find an eligible location.

If you have this offer on more than one card in your household and your stay comes to $200+, you can ask the hotel to split the payment across two or more cards in order to earn multiple statement credits.

Don’t forget that Wyndham is now on some shopping portals, so you can earn rewards when booking your stay.

Quick Thoughts

While 15% isn’t an earth-shattering bonus percentage, it can nonetheless be quite useful. Avianca devalued awards a couple of times last year, but a number of best uses remain.

This promotion could be particularly useful for anyone who subscribes to Lifemiles+ since Lifemiles+ members receive a 10% discount on all award tickets. That is true even at the $20 monthly “Lite” subscription level (note that you need the $50 monthly “Basic” subscription or above to get free changes and cancellations). A 15% transfer bonus, combined with a 10% discount on the cost of awards

For instance, some routes to Europe can be booked in business class for 69,000 miles one-way. With a 15% transfer bonus, you would only need to transfer 60,000 Amex points to end up with the 69K miles you need for those routes. If you are a LifeMiles+ subscriber, a flight that ordinarily costs 69,000 miles in business class would cost you 62,100 miles. With a 15% transfer bonus, that means that you would only need to transfer 54,000 Amex Membership Rewards points to book a one-way business class to Europe. That could be a really good deal.

We always recommend keeping points transferable until you need to make a booking, rather than speculatively transferring them. That is particularly important for Avianca Lifemiles, given that Lifemiles expire after just 12 months of inactivity unless you are a Lifemiles+ subscriber.
