Over the past year we’ve seen several airport restaurants and bars in the US join Priority Pass. The concept is that at some airports Priority Pass has a tough time striking a deal with a major lounge due to crowding issues, so when that’s not possible,…

While airline and hotel loyalty programs come with all sorts perks that we all know and love, rental car programs don't always seem to get the same kind of love. In some ways, it's too bad, because many rental car loyalty programs offer great benefits,…
Shangri-La Golden Circle is a niche program, though it potentially offers quite a bit of value. Recently I wrote about how Shangri-La is offering up to 40% off award redemptions that are made by November 30, 2018, for stays through January 31, 2019.…
Since September 6, LifeMiles has been offering OMAAT readers an additional 15% bonus on purchased miles, though registration is required. This promotion was supposed to expire yesterday, but has been extended by a couple of days, and there's an added…
IHG Rewards Club has just introduced a new flash sale on purchased points. The bonus is valid for points purchases through September 20, 2018. With this offer, members can receive a 100% bonus when they purchase at least 5,000 points in one transaction.…
Since September 6, LifeMiles has been offering OMAAT readers an additional 15% bonus on purchased miles, though registration is required. The deadline to register for the bonus is tomorrow (Monday, September 17, 2018), and then the deadline to buy miles…
I shared a preview of this a few days ago, so this post is an update that these restaurants are now "live" as part of the Priority Pass network, so let's look at the details. Over the past year we’ve seen several airport restaurants and bars in the US…
Hilton Honors has just announced their latest bonus on purchased points, which is valid through September 20, 2018. While you need to log into your account to see the offer, it appears as if all members are eligible for the same offer, for a 100% bonus…
As I've written about extensively, Priority Pass has significantly increased their lounge footprint in the US lately, and part of this includes adding restaurants to their lounge network. The logic is that at some airports Priority Pass has a tough time…

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…
Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, and Radisson, have all announced their fall 2018 promotions. We've seen nothing from Marriott Rewards and Starwood Preferred Guest, but they seem to be a mess right now, so it might be that they don't offer a promotion till they figure…
For the past week, the LifeMiles program has been offering a bonus on purchased miles. Their publicly available promotion offers up to a 125% bonus when you buy miles. I’m happy to share that LifeMiles is once again offering a special increased bonus…
Priority Pass is the the world’s largest network of independent airport lounges, with over 1,000 participating lounges around the world. Some of these are airline lounges, some are contract lounges, and lately they’ve gotten creative and have expanded…
There's an easy opportunity to make a roughly $50 profit tomorrow while being able to spend about $1,400 on your credit card for "free" (which can be a great way to earn bonus points or to complete the minimum spend on a credit card). This opportunity…
Last week I wrote about how Garuda Indonesia is discontinuing its flights to London. This was particularly notable as it would mean their fantastic first class service would not be available to a second European destination. But Garuda still operates…
Radisson Rewards has just rolled out a great promotion for anyone who is making any upcoming stays in the US or Canada. Specifically, Radisson Rewards members can earn 2,500 bonus Aeroplan miles per stay, up to a total of 5,000 bonus Aeroplan miles after…
Nowadays I largely rely on Uber for ground transportation in cities where public transportation isn't great. However, I've also started using Blacklane, primarily for airport pick-ups. Blacklane is essentially a competitor to UberBLACK. The difference…
Shangri-La Golden Circle is more of a niche loyalty program, and not one I talk about much. That's because they don't have any useful transfer partners, and there aren't that many ways to get outsized value from the program, in my opinion. However, for…
For the past few years, most of IHG’s global hotel promotions have been customized. Everyone gets some type of offer, but different members get targeted for different versions of the offer. The logic is that hotel loyalty programs want to generate incremental…
