Miles & Points Sale

Alaska's Mileage Plan program has launched a new mileage sale in which it's offering select Mileage Plan members a bonus of up to 60% which would see them buying miles at 1.85 cents each. If all you see is a 50% bonus (as I do) it may be worth waiting to see if the next sale offers you anything better (unless you only need a few miles to top up an account).

With the British Airways flash sale on Avios ending yesterday, Aer Lingus has now joined in the fun and launched its own sale in which it's offering a 50% bonus on most purchases. This is better than the British Airways sale which just ended and in some ways it's better than the Finnair Avios sale which is still in progress (it ends on 18 September), so this sale may be worth considering.

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.

Back in October 2022, in what may have been a world-first for a major airline loyalty program, the British Airways Executive Club introduced a subscription service that permits its members to purchase Avios at a highly discounted rate. In this article, we take a look at what this subscription service offers.

Qatar Airways is running a flash Avios sale in which it's offering bonuses of up to 50% for Avios purchases made through 8 September (Monday). The price you'll pay per Avios will vary depending on how many Avios you buy, but unlike some other Avios sales, it won't vary depending on where your Qatar Airways account is based.

Marriott has brought back another targeted points sale and in it it's offering Bonvoy members a bonus of up to 40% when they purchase points in the next six weeks. But just how good or bad is this latest offer.

Hilton has launched yet another points sale and it looks like different Hilton Honors members are being targeted for different bonuses. For me, this mystery bonus is the 100% bonus that seems to come around as frequently as our neighborhood cat, so while this may not be what you've been targeted for, there's a good chance that it is.

Just 6 days after pulling the last discount that it offered on its currency, United Airlines is back with another promotion in which it's offering a bonus of up to 100% when members buy MileagePlus miles by the end of the month.
