Thursday’s Deals

Lots of good stuff to get to…

  • How about a Bank of America Alaska Airlines checking account worth 25,000 miles? There’s no shortage of good financial deals (the Capital One 360 savings account worth up to $500, the 50,000 miles for investments, BankDirect) but I really like this B of A deal. Probably just a soft spot after getting so many easy Alaska miles for so long.
  • Rocketmiles is back with another first stay deal. This time, it’s 5,000 Southwest points. Competitor Kaligo also increased their offers (United and American) to 2,000 miles for a first booking under $500. It’s 5,000 miles over that amount.
  • Quick and easy one for the gamblers…share vacation pictures and win 50,000 Wyndham points.
  • Get decent discounts if you’re looking to buy Hilton, Hyatt, or Starwood points this week. Hilton’s offer is probably the best deal. I can’t believe I just typed that sentence.
  • Starwood’s latest Hot Escapes include some pretty good deals this round.
  • And here’s a Radisson promo that’s potentially even better. Book a 2-night stay and get 50% off the best rate for your next trip. As usual, the idea is to do the first one cheap and use the discount somewhere nice.

End Of Week Deals

 

Yet one more triple to end the week!

  • Get $200 Hyatt gift cards for $175. Good deal, but I offered you a better one last month.
  • The ol’ $20 Visa gift card when you buy $300 in Visa gift cards from Staples is back. Sunday through Saturday. As always, you’ll want to use your Chase Ink card for 5x points.
  • The latest IHG PointBreaks hotels are here. These really are a spectacular bargain…value priced at 5,000 points per night, as usual.

I’m Audi 5000 until Monday. Have a great weekend, nerds!
