Flash Sale: Save $100 on select Aer Lingus transatlantic routes (ends tomorrow)
Aer Lingus has launched a flash sale in which it has discounted the price of Economy and Business class fares on its transatlantic routes by up to $100. The discounts appear to only be valid for travel originating in North America and the Caribbean and only on travel taken before the end of the year, so the scope for savings is limited. Still, if you're looking for a last-minute deal across the pond, Aer Lingus may be an airline worth considering.
Another Targeted Hyatt Promotion (Earn 50,000 bonus points)
Last week we saw the World of Hyatt emailing members with a targeted offer in which 30,000 bonus points are on offer for every 10 nights consumed and which looks tailor-made for road warriors. Now we're hearing about another targeted offer that's out there in the wild in which fewer points are on offer but which will work a lot better for guests staying fewer nights.
Buy Small Luxury Hotels gift cards & get a 20% bonus
Small Luxury Hotels is the upscale hotel network that partners with the World of Hyatt and that provides the program with most of its European properties.

Targeted Hyatt promotion: Earn up to 150,000 bonus points in 10 weeks
Hyatt appears to be targeting select World of Hyatt members for a promotion that could be very lucrative for anyone planning to enjoy quite a few nights at Hyatt properties in the next 10 weeks. The offer is being emailed to targeted World of Hyatt members but in case your spam filters are a little too aggressive, there's a link to the registration page in this post where you can check to see if Hyatt has chosen you for this offer.
Get $100 back at Virgin Hotels with this Amex offer [Targeted]
If you're planning a trip to Chicago, Dallas, Nashville, or New Orleans, a new Amex offer for bookings at the Virgin Hotels in those locations may save you a nice amount of cash. Targeted cardholders can now get a $100 statement credit when they spend $500 or more on bookings paid for before the end of February 2022.
50% bonus on Chase transfers to Marriott (this has its uses)
Chase has brought back a promotion that we last saw it offer in July and August in which it's offering a 50% bonus on all points transfers between Ultimate Rewards and Marriott Bonvoy. For anyone with no immediate plans for any Bonvoy points they generate, this is a promotion to sit out. For anyone looking to use their Bonvoy points before the March 2022 devaluation, this promotion can have its uses (as I'll show).
Save up to $600 on Delta Vacations with this Amex offer [Targeted]
It's the start of a new week and a new month so we're seeing Amex launching a number of new targeted offers today. One of these offers is for spending made with Delta Vacations and is offering up to $600 in statement credits for bookings paid for before the end of the year.
USA FLASH SALE: Qatar Airways Qsuites from $2,321 Roundtrip
Qatar Airways has launched a new flash sale for departures from the United States and is offering some very good Business Class deals (by US standards) to destinations in Africa and the Indian Ocean out of at least five different US cities. With all Qatar Airways flights between the US and Doha offering the famed Qsuite Business Class cabin, these deals could be a good way of getting 2022 off to a very nice start.
Qatar Airways is offering a 20% bonus on Citi Transfers (and more)
I'm not sure how I missed this when it was first launched but if you're a collector of points with any one of Qatar Airways' banking partners, you should know that the airline will currently give you a 20% bonus if you convert those points to Privilege Club Qmiles. For US credit card holders this means a 20% bonus on transfers from Citi's ThankYou program but elsewhere in the world, transfers from Amex, HSBC, and a wide variety of other banks will also all trigger this bonus.
Save up to 20% on Sonesta bookings with this Amex offer [Targeted]
American Express has launched a new offer for stays at Sonesta properties in the United States and in US territories and because of events that we've seen in the hotel industry over the past 14 months, this could be a considerably more useful offer now than it would have been this time last year.
Save up to 30% in Hilton’s Sweet Suite resort sale (all-inclusive properties included)
Hilton has launched a new sale in which it's offering discounts of up to 30% on suites at its resorts in Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean, and French Polynesia. Hilton Honors members have to book an Advance Purchase rate to lock in any discount that a property is offering and while that's usually a very inflexible rate, a quirk within Hilton's terms and conditions means that these sale rates aren't quite as rigid as they may seem.

Citi Offers: Save with Best Buy, Uber & Hawaiian Airlines [Targeted]
We've seen a number of pretty good Citi offers turn up over recent days with easy savings to be made at ten IHG brands as well as with Virgin Atlantic, and now my account is showing three further offers that most readers should find relatively simple to use. They're hardly earth-shattering in their size, but they're worth knowing about if you're planning on spending with Best Buy, Uber, or Hawaiian Airlines anyway.
Amex is targeting select card holders for spending bonuses
American Express appears to be targeting select cardholders (possibly just those who hold its Membership Rewards business cards) with offers of bonus points for hitting predetermined spending targets. We've seen this kind of offer from Amex in the not-too-distant past and there's every likelihood that there are various versions of these offers out in the wild.
Promo: Double points with Radisson Rewards everywhere but the Americas
Radisson Rewards has launched a new double points promotion for stays in Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific through the end of the year (almost). The promotion is not open to Radisson Rewards Americas members but because everyone can have both types of Radisson Rewards account and because points can be transferred freely between the two, this is a promotion open to all fans of Radisson.
Deal: Save $200 on Marriott Homes & Villas bookings & earn 10 points/dollar [Targeted]
American Express has launched a new offer for Marriott Homes & Villas stays. The offer covers stays made through 15 December 2021 and because the spending needed to trigger the rebate doesn't have to be done in a single transaction and because the offer is not limited to properties in the US, this rebate may be easier to earn than first looks suggest.
Earn 500 bonus points/night for stays at any of these 28 Hyatt properties
Hyatt has been offering 500 bonus points/night to World of Hyatt members who stay at the newest properties in its portfolio for some time (it even offered a bonus of 1,000 points/night earlier this year) so as we've seen numerous new properties added to the Hyatt portfolio since I last wrote about this deal in March, this seems like a good time to remind readers of where you can pick up some very easy points around the world.
TODAY ONLY: Stack Kimpton’s “not so secret sale” with an Amex offer for big...
IHG's boutique brand, Kimpton, is mid-way through a two-day flash sale that's offering some incredible savings on stays across the brand's worldwide portfolio, and by stacking this sale with a current Amex offer, your savings will get even better. Theoretically, savings of up to 52% should be possible but keep your expectations in check as the actual savings on offer probably won't be quite that amazing.
Amex is offering up to 20% back at US InterContinental & Kimpton properties [Targeted]
Yesterday I wrote about how you can get 10% cash back or 10 Membership Rewards Points per dollar spent at IHG properties in the US and that will stack very nicely with an offer that American Express has published today which gives targeted cardholders up to 20% back on their spending at InterContinental and Kimpton hotels.
Today Only: Get up to 25% off Alaska Airlines fares (save 10% on First...
I don't recall seeing this announced but it looks like Alaska Airlines has brought back a promotion that it ran throughout that last football season in which it offered discounts on fares based on the performance of Russell Wilson, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback.
Heads up: There’s a Hyatt sale on the way (EMEA)
Hyatt is the only one of the major hoteliers yet to announce a promotion for the final months of the year but with the holiday season careering towards us, it looks like at least one of Hyatt's brands will be launching a sale in the coming days.

New Amex offer: Get 5 bonus points/dollar at Walmart (Targeted)
Apparently, it's Walmart Day at American Express. A few hours ago Amex announced that the Platinum Card® from American Express now comes with a new Walmart+ statement credit and now cardholders are being targeted for a bonus points offer on spending made at Walmart.com through Thanksgiving. If you shop at Walmart and carry the right card, this is a good day for you.
Fare Alert: Milan To Three US Cities In Business Class From $1,561 Roundtrip (Oneworld)
With transatlantic travel soon to be open to vaccinated travelers originating on both sides of the pond, TFM is going to go back to publishing some of the great deals that we spot for premium cabin travel.

FLASH DEAL: Alaska Airlines Launches BOGO Sale & 10% Off First Class Sale

First Class fares don't qualify for the BOGO promotion but a 10% discount on First Class fares is being offered. Restrictions apply (e.g. blackout dates), but if you're considering a trip that's covered by the Alaska Airlines route map, this deal could be a nice money saver.

Choice Privileges Rewards has launched a new sale in which it's offering members a 30% bonus when they purchase a minimum of 15,000 points and an increased purchase limit of 250,000 points (excluding bonus). If you're a fan of Choice properties and you're low on points, this may be an opportunity to top up your account if the math makes sense for you.
Get up to 20% off at Preferred Hotels with Amex offers [targeted]
One of my (many) failings is that I tend to skim across the offers that Amex targets me for with my brain often only registering the offers for well-known hotel chains, airlines, and consumer brands and that's how I very nearly missed the targeted offer for spending with Preferred Hotels (I've never heard of them). Fortunately, today was one of my more alert days and after checking which hotels this offer covers, I'm glad I was paying a little bit more attention than usual.
Targeted: Get 10% or 15% back on Hyatt stays (Chase offers)
Chase has been running numerous offers for Hyatt stays over the past year but despite the fact that I hold the World of Hyatt Credit Card (which Chase issues), I've been overlooked on most occasions. This time around things are different (finally!) and I'm currently seeing two good Hyatt offers on two separate Chase cards.
3rd Night Free At Mandarin Oriental Properties In Europe & Abu Dhabi
With Europe now open to fully vaccinated travelers visiting from the United States and with travel within Europe currently more relaxed than it has been for over a year, Mandarin Oriental has launched a promotion in which it's offering guests a "3rd night free" at ten European properties as well as its property in Abu Dhabi.
Deals: Southwest Offering Fares From $39 (Hawaii From $99)
Southwest is running a flash sale (which appears to have started yesterday) in which it's offering one-way fares from $39.

Save Up To 40% & Earn 60,000 Points With Choice All-Inclusive Resort Bookings

FLASH SALE: Alaska Airlines Fares From $39 One-Way
Alaska Airlines has launched a new flash sale which sees the airline offering one-way fares from as low as $39. The sale is only running through 5 August but with fares available for travel through the end of the year, this could be a good opportunity to save on a fall or winter break.
DEAL: Save 20% On Most British Airways Bookings Into May 2022 [UK Accounts Only]
British Airways has today launched a new promotion in which offering all UK-based Executive Club members a 20% discount on Economy Class, Premium Economy, and Business Class flights taken between August and the last week in May next year. Unfortunately, the booking window is a short one so you'll have to be quick if you want to make the most of this deal.
Stack two deals to earn 21,000 points & to save $200 with Marriott Homes...
Right now, there’s a targeted but widely available Amex offer which gives cardholders a $200 statement credit on Marriott Homes & Villas bookings which should stack very nicely with a Marriott promotion that’s offering guests 21,000 bonus Bonvoy Points for Homes & Villas bookings consumed in the next couple of months. If you’ve been looking at alternatives to a hotel booking these deals may make a Marriott Homes & Villas stay a little more attractive.
GREAT DEAL: Virgin Atlantic launches its best-ever points sale
Virgin Atlantic has launched a new points sale and this is unquestionably the best points sale that we've ever seen the airline publish. As I'll show in this post, this sale allows flyers to book a number of fantastic Business Class and First Class awards at rates that I don't recall ever seeing before and that's exactly what the miles & points game is all about.
Save Up To 15% On Qatar Airways Flights (Select Routes)
Qatar will be hosting the 2022 Football World Cup and Qatar Airways is a major sponsor of football (soccer) around the world as well as being the official airline of UEFA EURO 2020, so it's not all that surprising to see the airline running a promotion in honor of the championships that come to a close this week.
Citi Offers: Save $100 On Stays With Mandarin Oriental In The US [Targeted]
Generally speaking, I don’t write about Citi offers very often because they’ve been so buggy since they launched that I’ve lost patience with them and I don’t check them as often as I probably should. Nevertheless, I’ve just remembered to check my offers and there are four identical offers available for anyone considering a stay at one of the four Mandarin Oriental properties in the US.
DEAL: Get 10% cash back (Or 10 Amex points/dollar) on IHG bookings (USA)

HUGE DEAL: Save 50% On Southwest Fares This Fall (Cash & Award Bookings)
Southwest is currently running a number of promotions to celebrate its 50th Birthday but the one that's way out ahead of all the rest is the promotion launched today that offers flyers 50% off flights taken this fall. Unsurprisingly for a promotion as generous as this one, the 50% discount offer is only available for bookings made in the next few days but with award bookings qualifying for the discount as well as cash bookings, this is definitely a great opportunity to make some significant savings.
Chase Freedom Flex® credit card 3Q 2021 bonus categories revealed
With just over two weeks left in the second quarter of 2021, Chase has revealed the 3Q 2021 category spending bonuses for the Chase Freedom Flex® credit card (review) and the legacy Chase Freedom credit card (no longer open to new applicants). Registration for the new bonus categories is now open.
Last Month To Use Up The Amex Platinum Card’s Special Offers
At the very beginning of the year, Amex gave existing holders of its consumer Platinum Card a nice surprise when it published a series of good offers valid for the first 6 months of the year. A number of these offers represent an easy way for cardholders to recoup a good portion of their card's annual fee but with less than three weeks to go before the end of June, time is now running out for anyone who hasn't yet used up all the offers they can.
Holders of the Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card can redeem points at 1.5 cents each...
I’m a big fan of Chase Ultimate Rewards but my primary use for the currency usually revolves around transferring points across to the World of Hyatt and not for any of the other ways that Ultimate Rewards points can be used. That, however, doesn't mean that all the other options should be ignored and one other option, in particular, is currently more attractive than it usually is.
British Airways UK Sale – First Class From £1,665 Roundtrip
British Airways has launched a new sale for departures out of the UK and there are some great value redemptions in both First Class and Business Class.

JetBlue Puts Its London Routes On Sale – Amazing Fares For UK-Based Flyers
Earlier this year, JetBlue finally got the London Heathrow slots that it so desperately needs to give its new transatlantic routes the best possible chance of success, and today the airline finally put the routes from New York to Heathrow and Gatwick on sale. There's good news for US travelers but it's the UK-based travelers that will probably be cheering loudest.

Hilton’s Second Major Promotion For 2021 Is Live – Register Now
Hilton's new big promotion for 2021 is now live and runs through 6 September. Unlike the promotion that recently ended, this promotion favors guests making longer stays over stays of just one or two nights so it's likely to favor the leisure traveler more than a lot of road warriors but, that being said, there are still plenty of bonus points up for grabs regardless of your length of stay.
It’s Back: Buy Iberia Gift Cards With A 25% Discount (Limited Time)
Iberia has brought back a deal that we saw earlier this year in which it's selling gift cards with a 25% discount.

FLASH DEAL: Get 20% Off All Southwest Award Bookings
Southwest Rapid Rewards has announced a quick-fire promotion in which it's offering all members a 20% saving on awards booked by 25 March for travel through 30 April 2021.

DEALS: 50% Off Briggs & Riley Luggage (USA & UK Sites)
It looks like Briggs & Riley has been running a sale over the weekend in which it's possible top buy a variety of great pieces of luggage at half price. Sadly, the sale appears to end today but with the great deals available for a few more hours, the US and UK sites are worth checking out if you need a new suitcase, carry-on, briefcase, backpack or even tote bag.

Be Careful: It’s Easy To Miss The Latest Hyatt Discounts & Free Nights
Yesterday, Hyatt continued its run of offering promotion after promotion (a run which now dates back to September of last year) when it announced a number of offers for stays made through the middle of September.

The AARP has been offering great discounts on British Airways flights for years and with the recent announcement that the discounts have been renewed for yet another year, and the news that it's currently possible to get an AARP membership for the cost of a couple of coffees, this seems like a good time to remind readers of what and how they can save.
DEALS: Earn up to 15% cash back or 15 points/ollar at Rakuten
November 2020 was a good month to use the Rakuten shopping portal. We saw the site offer its highest-ever referral bonus, and we saw it offer 15% cash back/15 MR points on no fewer than three occasions and now, in February 2021, a similar deal is back in honor of Presidents Day weekend.
Last Day: JetBlue “Just Book It” Sale (Transcon Flights From $94 One-Way)
For the past two days, JetBlue has been running a very nice sale across most of the routes that it operates but today is the last day to lock-in the savings that the airline is offering.

7-Day American Airlines Fare Sale – Europe Roundtrip From Under $500
American Airlines is currently running a second week of 'Daily Deals' which, based on the deals we saw last week, is good news for flyers.

American Airlines has launched a new "Daily Deal" in which it's offering free flights to the Caribbean for kids booked on the same reservations as fare-paying adults. The deal is only available to select Caribbean destinations, you only have approximately eight hours in which to book, and taxes and fees apply but if you're planning an escape from the winter cold, this could be a deal worth considering.
Save Up To 30% With Radisson’s Friends & Family Sale (Americas & Caribbean)
Radisson has brought back its annual Friends & Family sale in which it's offering members of its Radisson Rewards program a discount of 30% on bookings made by the middle of January.

Ends Today: The Excellent Alaska Airlines BOGO Offer
I'm pretty sure no other US airline has run as many promotions as we've seen Alaska Airlines offering in the last quarter of this year (Alaska appears to be the Hyatt of the airline industry), but what is probably the last Alaska Airlines promotion of the year ends today.

The latest such offer is for a nice saving at Crowne Plaza properties in the United States.

Marriott is currently running a sale in which it's offering up to 40% off its standard rates on weekend stays in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The sale runs through 30 November so there are still a few days in which to do some research and to book but don't leave things too late as there are a limited number of rooms available at the promotional rates.
IHG Black Friday Deal: 50% Off Stays In Asia, Australasia, South Pacific, Middle East...
I haven't yet noticed any great IHG deals for stays in the United States or Europe, but the current IHG flash sale that's running for stays in Asia, Australasia, South Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa looks to be one of the better hotel deals around.
Hyatt Promotion – Dream Away & Get Away With Up To 22% Off
Hyatt has just announced a new promotion which runs through 4 April 2021. The promotion offers World of Hyatt members a discount of up to 22% on the Hyatt Standard Rate at over 900 properties around the world, with all properties offering free cancellations up to 24 hours before check-in.
Chase Offer: 10% Back At Amazon 4-Star (I Had No Idea This Existed)
I don't often write about Chase offers because, on the whole, they're not as lucrative as the offers we see targeted to various Amex Cards and because, mostly, they don't have much to do with travel. Well, this Chase offer isn't lucrative and it has nothing to do with travel but I thought I'd write a quick post about it anyway because it introduced me to something that I had no idea existed.
Amex Offer: Save Up To 25% At EVEN Hotels (IHG)
Amex cardholders are being targeted for a new but niche offer for savings at IHG's EVEN Hotels brand. With only 11 EVEN hotels currently available in the United States this isn't going to be an offer to excite the whole country, but if you'll planning a break and there's an EVEN Hotel in your chosen destination, the savings here could be worthwhile.
Hyatt Expands Its Work From Home Packages (Again)
Towards the end of August, Hyatt introduced its "Work From Hyatt" packages which it hopes will allow individuals, couples, and families to combine work and relaxation all in one place and away from the confines of home. At the time the program was rolled out, only around 25 properties were participating and that made options a little limiting. By the end of September, Hyatt had increased the number of participating properties to nearly 60 and now, as we enter November, there are almost 90 participating locations.
Amex Marriott Bonvoy Cards Offering Bonus Points At Amazon, Target & Walmart [Targeted]
As of yesterday, a number of Chase co-branded credit cards will earn cardholders bonus points for spending at Amazon.com (for a limited time) and now, as of this morning, we're seeing a response from Amex. Through 27 December, select holders of Amex Marriott Bonvoy credit cards can earn up to 8 points per dollar at Amazon, Target & Walmart on up to $3,500 of spending.
$75 Off Select Stays With Hyatt Credit Cards
Hyatt is in the process of emailing Hyatt and World of Hyatt credit card holders with an offer of a $75 statement credit when they use their card to book a stay at one of Hyatt’s independent collection brand properties. A minimum spend is required but this offer doesn't appear to be targeted to specific cardholders so if you hold a Hyatt or World of Hyatt credit card this should be an offer open to you.
Ending tomorow: Buy Alaska Airlines Miles with a 70% bonus (Targeted)
Back in August, Alaska ran a promotion in which it promised members the chance to buy miles with a bonus of up to 70% if they purchased miles in the promotion that was running at the time and, since the first week of this month, Alaska Airlines has been keeping its word. Now, however, you have less than 48 hours to buy Alaska Miles at the cheapest rate we have ever seen.
Rakuten Is Offering 3x Cash Back (Or 3x Membership Rewards Points)
Rakuten is a portal I write about reasonably frequently because it offers miles & points fans a very easy way to collect bonus American Express Membership Rewards points when they shop at a large variety of well-known online retailers. Right now, and for a limited time, Rakuten is offering all members triple cash back (or triple Membership Rewards Points) at an impressive number of stores. At some stores, the offer is even better.
DEAL: 30% Off Alaska Airlines Flights (TODAY ONLY)
Alaska Airlines is running a fun promotion for the duration of the NFL season in which it's offering a fantastic discount on fares out of select states. The promotion is built around the scoring prowess of Russell Wilson, the quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, and runs after every Seahawks home game in which Wilson scores.
Great Deal: Radisson Is Offering 25% Back On Award Bookings
Radisson appears to be taking a leaf out of Hyatt's book by launching an offer for 25% back on awards bookings and although the offer isn't quite a generous as Hyatt's for World of Hyatt credit card holders (the Radisson promotion doesn't run as long), it's definitely more generous than Hyatt's for everyone else.
Deal: Citi Is Offering 10% Back At Amazon (Up To $25) [Targeted]
With Amazon Prime Day just hours away and with a lot of people already shopping for the holidays, Citi has just started dropping a very nice deal into the inboxes of targeted cardholders with an offer of 10% back (up to a maximum of $25) on all eligible online spending at Amazon.com
