Yesterday IHG was the first of the big hotel chains to launch a Cyber Sale and it hasn't taken Hyatt long to follow suit, although the sale that Hyatt has unveiled today is considerably narrower in scope than the one IHG published yesterday. IHG's sale is valid worldwide while this Hyatt sale is limited to the Americas.

Get 20% back on points bookings with Homes & Hideaways from Hyatt
While Marriott's Homes & Villas offering has been around for some time, Hyatt is considerably newer to the vacation rentals space, and just like Marriott, it seems to be keen to incentivise usage of its Homes and Hideaways properties through its World of Hyatt loyalty program. For a limited time, Hyatt is now offering World of Hyatt members the chance to get 20% back on points bookings that are consumed between now and March next year.
Ends today: 50% bonus on Chase transfers to Marriott (this may have its uses)
Way back in September, Chase launched a promotion in which it has been offering a 50% bonus to cardholders who convert Ultimate Rewards points to Marriott Bonvoy points and that promotion is set to end today. The last time we saw such a promotion (August) there was a 70% bonus on the table, so this is a transfer off to pass on unless what is discussed below applies to you.
Save on Hilton bookings in Las Vegas & the rest of Nevada [Targeted offer]
Following on from Best Western/SureStay offer that we wrote about earlier, we have a second useful travel offer from Amex that has appeared in our accounts. This deal is for Hilton properties in Las Vegas/Nevada and it's offering a saving of $100 on select stays that are paid for by 17 March 2025 (St. Patrick's day!).
Surprising: Amex has improved my targeted spending offer … again!
Towards the end of September, American Express began targeting select business card holders for spending bonuses that run through the end of the year. I was one of the targeted cardholders, but the offer I was targeted for was far from tempting. Towards the end of October, Amex caught me by surprise when it made a change to that targeted offer, but the surprise that I felt back then doesn't really compare to the surprise I felt this morning when I saw that the offer had been changed for a second time.
Save $100 on select Best Western bookings (targeted offer)

Save at Destination by Hyatt properties with this targeted offer
When it comes to hotel partners, American Express usually favors Marriott, Hilton, and occasionally IHG, but we've also been seeing more Hyatt offers appearing in 2024 and a new Hyatt offer is now available in targeted member accounts.
Book North America – Europe Economy Class for 15,000 miles + surcharges (one-way)
Flying Blue has released its Promo Awards for November 2024 which cover travel through 30 April 2025 and as usual, you can now book select Air France and KLM awards with a 25% discount.
Make sure you’re earning easy Amex points through Rakuten
Cash back can be great, but in the miles and points world it's the versatile transferable currencies that rule and that's why Rakuten's partnership with American Express can be a key tool to use in your day-to-day miles and points strategy. This becomes especially true as we enter the two months of the year which, for a lot of people, are the months in which a lot of shopping and spending is done.
Interesting, my targeted Amex spending bonus offer just changed
Almost exactly a month ago, American Express published a number of targeted spending offers for holders of its business cards and as a targeted cardholder, I could see the same offer listed under two of my cards. As the offer wasn't particularly rewarding and as I didn't want to trigger the offer's 90-day usage period until I actually had some spending to put on one of my targeted cards, I didn't add the offer to either card and I left it sitting in my 'available offers' list.
Save on select IHG stays with this new Amex offer [Targeted]
Amex has just launched a new targeted offer spending at select IHG properties in the US and its territories, and while this offer doesn't cover some of IHG's more upscale brands, the saving on offer should still be useful and relatively simple to lock in.
Save $175 off select Cathay Pacific bookings with this offer [Targeted]

These are the 4 new IHG cash back deals from Chase [Targeted]
Chase is now running at least four new cash back deals for spending made at select IHG brands, and a little unusually for Chase, it looks like cardholders are being given a little more time than normal to trigger the savings on offer.
Save 10% on your next Hyatt Place stay with this offer [Targeted]
If my cards are anything to go by, the past few months have seen Chase focusing heavily on offers on stays for Marriott properties with little or no offers appearing for stays made with Hyatt. Well, that has now changed with select cardholders being targeted for a Hyatt Place offer.
Deal: Get cash back on Hyatt stays in Hawaii [Targeted]
A new set of Amex offers have dropped this morning and the most interesting travel related offer appears to be one that's offering a statement credit for spending made with Hyatt hotels and resorts in Hawaii.

For the second month running, Alaska Airlines has launched a new mileage sale in which it's offering select Mileage Plan members a mystery maximum bonus which varies from account to account.
Get 25% off stays at Waldorf Astoria, Conrad & LXR properties worldwide
Well, this is good news. The promotion discussed in this article was, at one point, an ongoing promotion that never seemed to end, that offered a very good deal, and that wasn't particularly well publicised.
For most of this year, however, the usual link to the promotion page hasn't worked, and all the Google searches we performed only brought up old pages with the same non-functioning link, we assumed that the deal had finally been killed off.
These are the major 4Q 2024 hotel promotions from Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, and Marriott
Now that we're into October and into the fourth quarter of 2024, there's a good chance that we're not going to see any more major hotel promotions announced before the end of the year and with that in mind, here are all the big promotions from Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, and Marriott that cover some or all of the period between now and 31 December 2024.
Get a 25% bonus on select conversions to Qatar Airways Avios (+ earn an...
Qatar Airways has launched a new version of the bonus Avios promotion which we saw running in May, and this time around there are a few key differences that you should keep in mind. Usually, this offer is for a 30% bonus and is restricted to banking currencies only. This time around there's a 25% bonus on offer, ALL (Accor's loyalty program) and Shangri-La Circle are included, and Qatar Airways is throwing in an extra bonus for every 100,000 Avios created in one move.
Spend $300 and get $100 back at select Radisson Blu & Cambria Hotels [Targeted]

Get up to 10% back on your next Radisson Rewards award booking (capped at...
Radisson Rewards (the non-Americas version) is currently offering members a one-off chance to earn a rebate of up to 10% (capped at 9,000 points) on their next award stay. Clearly, this isn't a reason to get excited about a program that has been devalued so badly that even Delta SkyMiles executives think things may have gone too far, but if you still have a stack of Radisson points, this may be of interest.
Earn double Hyatt points at Mr & Mrs Smith hotels
Coming a week after we saw Hyatt announce a double points promotion for select stays made in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania, Hyatt is back with another double points promotion that covers all Mr & Mrs Smith properties that currently participate in the World of Hyatt.
Get 15% off award night stays at new IHG hotels and resorts
Hyatt offers a handful of bonus points to customers staying at one of its recently opened properties, but IHG goes a little further by making stays at select new properties a little cheaper for customers booking with points. Specifically, it makes bookings 15% cheaper for a limited time and for some, this will be a useful saving to be offered.
Get $200 back on Amex Travel Virgin Atlantic bookings [Targeted]
The offer discussed in this article is slightly different to the usual Virgin Atlantic offer Amex publishes (the other offer launched today) in that the spending target and the statement credit are both lower and the offer is only valid on spending made through Amex Travel.
Save $300 on Virgin Atlantic bookings with this targeted Amex offer
The offer discussed in this article is the standard Virgin Atlantic offer that we're used to see Amex publish (the other offer launched today and which we will discuss separately is different in a few ways) and it's a near exact copy of the offer that expired back in June.
Earn 20,000 bonus Amex points on Air France/KLM bookings [Targeted]
Amex has launched a new offer for spending with two SkyTeam airlines - Air France and KLM. The offer may only be available to targeted to consumer and business Platinum Cards and it allows targeted cardholders to earn 20,000 bonus Amex points on just $1,000 of spending with either airline.

Targeted: Save $100 on select Chase Travel bookings (stack with bonus points offer)
Yesterday, we wrote about a targeted offer that hasn't been particularly well publicised in which Chase is offering 10,000 or 20,000 bonus points on select bookings made through Chase Travel℠. Well, it looks like select Chase cards are also being targeted for a deal offering $100 off select Chase Travel℠ bookings, and these two offers should stack.
Earn 10,000 – 20,000 points with one Chase Travel booking [Targeted]
Chase is targeting select card holders for a deal in which it's offering between 10,000 and 20,000 points for spending made through Chase Travel℠. There's a minimum spend requirement of $500 and that spending needs to be made in a single transaction, but other than that, this looks like a pretty straightforward offer.
Earn double Hyatt points at 320+ properties (all regions except Americas)
IHG, Hilton, and Marriott are all running global promotions for the upcoming months, so out of the major miles & points hotel chains, Hyatt has been the only one that up until now, hasn't thrown its customers a bone. Well, a bone (of sorts) has now been thrown, but Hyatt fans hoping for a Bonus Journeys promotion that's valid worldwide are in for a bit of a disappointment.
Save up to 40% on select Marriott stays with this Amex offer [Targeted]
American Express has brought back targeted offer that we last saw launched at the end of May and which ran through August. This time, the offer covers select Marriott stays that are paid for by November 23rd and the best-case scenario will see cardholders saving around 40% on their Marriott spending.
Amex is targeting select business card holders for new spending bonuses

Links to all 15 deals we wrote about this week (some are targeted)
Sometimes, it can be a chore to keep up with all the deals that get launched or discussed when you have a job to hold down and/or a family to look after, so here are the deals we wrote about in the past week all condensed into a single page with links to the various articles in which we discuss each deal in more detail.
Stack two points promotions + a 10% cash back deal on your next IHG...
The latest IHG global promotion has had quite a lot of publicity, so you probably already know that you can earn 3,000 bonus points for every 2 nights that you stay at IHG properties by the end of the year.
But did you know that for select IHG brands, you should now be able to stack the global promotion with a second (less well-known) promotion and a cash back deal to really maximize your earnings and savings?
Save up to $150 on select Expedia hotel bookings [Targeted Offer]
American Express is now targeting select cardholders for a 15% statement credit (capped at $150) when they book and prepay a hotel stay by the middle of December. At first glance, a 15% saving with no minimum spend criteria looks appealing, but make sure you read this article fully before you rush of to book as there are a few key things to keep in mind.
Get $75 back on select stays with Radisson in the Americas
Amex has started targeting select cardholders for a statement credit in return for spending made at Radisson properties in the Americas. Most of the properties at which this offer is valid appear to be in the US and Canada, but you'll also find a few participating locations in Central and South America as well as one or two in the Caribbean.
Save on stays with Amex and Preferred Hotels & Resorts [Targeted]
Not to be confused with the bonus points offer for stays at Leading Hotels of the World which launched about a week ago, Amex is now targeting select cardholders for a saving on spending made with Preferred Hotels & Resorts across several regions of the world.
Save $300 on select Marriott Homes & Villas bookings [Targeted]
American Express has launched a new targeted offer for Marriott Homes & Villas stays. The offer covers payments made through 17 December 2024 and because the spending needed to trigger the rebate doesn't have to be made in a single transaction, this rebate may be easier to earn than first looks suggest.
Save up to $57 on your next Sheraton stay [limited time targeted offer]
Over the past couple of weeks, Chase has been drip feeding cardholders limited-time offers for stays at various Marriott brands and the latest brand to appear on our online offers page is Sheraton. This takes the number of active Chase offers for stays at Marriott properties to six, although some only have a few more days left to run.
Save up to 15% on EVA Air bookings with this targeted offer
Following on from the offer for ITA Airways spending that we saw launched yesterday, Amex is back today with a new airline offer, and this time it's for Taiwan's EVA Air. The offer appears to be widely available, so if you're making plans head to Asia between now and next November and are happy to pay before the end of the year, this could be an easy way to save a little cash.
Earn 5,000 bonus Amex points with National Car Rental [Targeted]
American Express is targeting cardholders with a new offer for bonus points on spending with National Car rental made through the end of the year (this is the second rental car offer we've seen Amex publish today). The offer applies to reservations made at locations within the United States (and US Territories) and requires that reservations are made at least 24 hours in advance.
Save on Enterprise Rent-a-Car spending with this targeted Amex offer
It's Monday, and that means that we're seeing Amex publish a few new targeted offers today, and alongside the ITA Airways offer we wrote about earlier, there's also an offer that could earn you up to 25% back on a Enterprise Rent-a-Car booking completed by the end of the year.
Earn 17,500 bonus Amex points with select ITA Airways bookings [Targeted]
This morning, American Express has launched a new targeted offer which gives select cardholders the opportunity to earn 17,500 Membership Rewards points when booking through ITA Airways in the next ~11 weeks. If you value Amex points at a similar price point to us, that represents a potentially excellent rebate.
Now earn cash back at two more Marriott brands (Targeted Limited-Time Offers)
Last week, we wrote about three Chase limited-time targeted promotions that had appeared for stays at Renaissance Hotels, TownePlace Suites and Aloft Hotels, but since then it looks like two more targeted promotions for stays at Marriott bands have appeared. One has an incredible short booking window but is quite generous, while the other has a longer booking window but isn't quite as valuable. Both may be useful.
Now live: Marriott’s two promotions for stays through 26 November 2024
A few weeks ago, Marriott announced two promotions that would run until 26 November 2024, so this is your reminder that as of today, both promotions are live. Registration is required for both promotions so if you haven't done so already, you should probably head over to Marriott.com and do that right now.
Were you targeted for this Hyatt road warrior promotion? (up to 90,000 bonus points...
Recently, a reader recently sent us a link to a Hyatt promotion that we weren't aware was available, so as we know of someone who hasn't been told they had been targeted but was able to register, I thought we'd mention it in case anyone reading this is in the same position (i.e. eligible but blissfully unaware).
Be careful: Check these two Avios sales to get the best price for you
Finnair has been running an Avios sale since the middle of last week and British Airways has just launched a new flash sale, and the key thing for Avios collectors to know right now is that it while both sales are offering different bonuses, the best sale for you may not be the one offering the highest headline bonus.
Award Sale: Get 25% off Singapore Airlines award bookings
No, this isn't an article about the KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes deals that we see every month (those deals should appear in a week's time). This a KrisFlyer Global Redemption Sale in which the travel window is wider and the restrictions slightly different.
Earn 15,000 bonus Amex points with Leading Hotels of the World [Targeted]
Earlier, we wrote about a new Turkish Airlines offer that launched this morning and here we have a second interesting travel offer that Amex has dropped into out accounts.

Save $200 on Turkish Airlines spending with this offer [Targeted]

Airfare deal: East Coast – Europe Business Class for $2,200 (Round Trip)
TAP Air Portugal is currently running a 'Multi destination campaign" which given all the emails I'm getting, the airline seems to be particularly excited about. The campaign is valid for most regions of the world to which TAP operates, but I'm just going to focus on the US for the purposes of this article.
Save at three Marriott brands with these targeted offers
Chase is currently targeting select cardholders for savings on spending with select Marriott brands and while (as usual) these deals are only available for stays that are paid for in the next few weeks, the rebates on offer can be worthwhile, so it will be worth checking your cards to see if you have been targeted if you have an upcoming Marriott stay.
Earn 10,000 bonus Hilton points when you spend with Delta [Targeted]
There's a noticeable dearth of new travel offers in our Amex accounts, but one targeted offer that caught our eye this morning is for Hilton Honors co-branded card holders who can now earn 10,000 bonus Hilton points when they spend at least $300 with Delta.
Get 5,000 bonus Membership Rewards points when you shop with TUMI [Targeted]
American Express appears to have launches a significant number of new targeted offers today, but there aren't many new travel-related offers appearing in our accounts. Still, if you're in the market for some overpriced luggage, this offer for spending with TUMI may help ease the pain on your wallet.
Earn 2x Marriott elite night credits with Homes & Villas

Today has seen Qatar Airways launch a couple of promotions for departures from Europe which may offer good value if you're prepared to book in the next few days.

New Marriott cardholder promotion: 2,000 bonus points on select stays

Save $90 on Delta bookings with this Amex offer [targeted]
Amex has launched a new targeted offer for select cardholders in which it's offering a $90 rebate on spending made with Delta Air Lines by the end of October. Given the terms and conditions and given the length of time we're being given to trigger the rebate, this should be a relatively simple rebate to earn if you're a Delta flyer.
Earn 24,000 bonus points/stay and get 10% off select bookings with Marriott Homes &...
If the last Marriott Homes & Villas promotion didn't tempt you into a booking or didn't cover the geographic area in which you're planning a stay, perhaps this latest offer of 24,000 bonus points per stay + 10% off at select properties worldwide will suit you better.

Today sees the return of "Big Give Week" on Rakuten, which sees the cashback site offering up to 20% back (or 20 Membership Rewards Points per dollar) at hundreds of participating stores and retailers. Better still, this promotion sees the return of some great cash back travel offers with the likes of Radisson and Viator.
Hilton’s second global promotion for 2024 is now live
Hilton's first major promotion of 2024 ended yesterday and in true Hilton fashion, its second global promotion of the year went live earlier today. This latest promotion runs to 2 September 2024 and, thankfully, is noticeably better than the one it is replacing.
Deal: Save up to 20% on Hyatt stays in the Asia Pacific region

Have you been targeted for one of Hyatt’s new promotions? (check these links)
Hyatt has brought back a series of targeted deals that we last saw published at the beginning of 2023. There seem to be slightly fewer targeted deals in this iteration of the promotion (18 deals in 2024 v 23 deals in 2023) and it looks like the target audience may be narrower in 2024 than it was in 2023, but some of the offers still look good so it will be worth checking to see if Hyatt lists you among the chosen few.
The IHG European spring sale is now live (up to 20% off)
The IHG spring sale (for bookings at the chain's participating European properties) is now live and runs through to 5 March for stays into 2025. The sale is in two parts.

Be careful, Marriott’s new promotion isn’t quite as generous as it has been in...
Marriott's latest global promotion is now live and it's one of the best Marriott promotions that we've seen for a while. It isn't, however, quite as generous as a similar promotion that it has run in the past, so this is a gentle warning not to expect too much.
Deal: Earn 10 Amex points/dollar (or 10% cash back) on IHG bookings
Rakuten is back with another good cash back offer with which you can earn 10% cash back or 10 Amex Membership Rewards Points per dollar on most IHG (InterContinental, Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, etc...) bookings. It's not clear how long this offer will last for so don't wait too long if you have an IHG stay that you need to book.
Make the most of Rakuten’s $30/3,000 Amex points bonus for referrals
Rakuten is one of my favorite cash back sites because it allows users to choose between earning pure cash back or Amex points in place of that cash back, and as we wrote about how you can choose to earn Amex points through Rakuten yesterday, today seems like a good time to write about the referral bonus that Rakuten also offers.
Save on a Sixt+ rental car subscription with this targeted offer

Generate up to 10,000 Avios, Miles, Points from just 0.49 cents each [Targeted]

Reminder: Hilton is offering up to 25% off in its Europe, Africa & Middle...
We've recently highlighted the latest Europe sale from IHG and the latest Europe, Africa, and Middle East sale from Hyatt so it's probably only fair that we remind readers that Hilton was the first of the big hotel chains to launch an EMEA sale and that it's still a sale that you can book.
Booking an IHG stay? Get up to 12% cash back with these offers
The dawn of a new year usually sees a rise in the number of people planning and booking travel, and with IHG currently running a winter sale for stays in Europe, there's a good chance that quite a few people are considering an IHG property for their next trip.

Do You Know About Kimpton’s Last Minute Deals?
One of the things I love most about writing this blog is that the research I have to do means that I'm constantly learning new things about the travel industry and constantly discovering ways I can save cash when I travel.
While I'm a big fan of making airline bookings way in advance I'm beginning to hold off from making any hotel/accommodation bookings until much closer to my actual trips - I'm finding that I'm getting better deals that way and, by delaying the reservations I make, I'm finding myself in a better position to make the most of any hotel promotions that come around.
