While Wyndham is the largest hotel franchising company in the world in terms of number of properties (they have 9,300 hotels in 90 countries), I don't talk all that much about their loyalty program, Wyndham Rewards. With Wyndham's newest "Make Your Break"…
For a long time Marriott has offered a promotion for new Bonvoy members, though I wasn't aware that Hilton Honors has a new member bonus as well. New members of Hilton Honors can earn up to 5,000 bonus points after two paid stays: To take advantage of…
I've written in the past about how Marriott is one of the only major hotel groups to offer a lucrative bonus for new members who join their loyalty program and complete qualifying stays. This promotion has been around for quite a while, but Marriott…
I've written a few times over the past several months about SoFi's generous referral program. Well, unfortunately they've made some major changes to the referral program, for both SoFi Money and SoFi Invest. In this post I wanted to provide an updated…
We frequently see loyalty programs sell points at a discount, and for many this is an opportunity to buy points at a cost that makes sense, especially for aspirational redemptions. At the moment we're seeing many programs sell points at a discount, so…
United Airlines MileagePlus has just launched their latest promotion on purchased miles, which is valid for just over a week. Through 11:59PM CT on Thursday, February 27, 2020, United is offering a bonus on purchased miles. While you have to log into…
For a while, the Alaska Airlines Visa® Business Credit Card has had an increased welcome bonus, and it's an offer seriously worth considering. This is a card that I have and that I applied for under a worse offer, so I sure wish I had applied when this…
Since early January, Hilton Honors has been offering a discount on purchased points. This is a reminder of that, as the promotion ends tomorrow. Through Wednesday, February 19, 2020, Hilton Honors is offering a 100% bonus when members purchase points.…
For those of you not familiar with Amex Offers, it’s a program available through most Amex cards, where different cards are eligible for different savings and bonus offers. In many cases, the offers can be huge, and more than offset the annual fee on…
Often buying points can represent a great value, especially for first and business class award redemptions, where redeeming miles represents a disproportionately good value. For those who like to buy miles, another airline has just rolled out a promotion…
Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan is one of my favorite programs to buy miles from, both thanks to the frequency with which they sell miles, and what a good deal their redemptions can be. For the past few weeks Mileage Plan has been offering their first major…

Best Western Rewards isn’t the most generous loyalty program out there, and for that matter Best Western doesn’t have that many aspirational properties. They do offer promotions pretty consistently, though, either offering free nights or gift cards.…
LifeMiles is one of the most useful frequent flyer programs out there, in my opinion, given that they frequently sell miles at a discount, and have great award redemption rates. So they're often my go-to program for booking premium cabin Star Alliance…
Over the past couple of years we’ve seen Priority Pass increasingly add restaurants to their global network of 1,300+ airport lounges. The concept is that at some airports Priority Pass has a tough time striking a deal with a major lounge due to crowding…
