50% Off Hotels With Avios

Thanks to reader Shawn for passing this on. Could be a good option for those with a big stash of British Airways Avios. Personally, I think it’s hard to beat the value you get on short flights with those points. Also, this is the UK link and I’m not sure how to get to the US one.

(cough cough)

…kind of blowing this one…

(awkward pause)

Anywho..it looks like you can get up to 50% off when using Avios for hotel bookings. If you spot any great values here (or a better link), let me know and I’ll post an update.

Don’t Forget About The Flight Deal

I’ve talked about it before, but not for a few months. Guys, there are only a handful of indispensable websites out there. The Flight Deal is one of them. It’s rare, unique, and pretty easy to navigate. Stop messing around and make sure you are a regular reader! Some of the current posts:

  • $499 round-trip from New York to Milan on Emirates.
  • $460 round-trip from San Francisco to Panama.
  • A $287 trip from Boston to Puerto Rico.

10,000 Etihad Miles

This one won’t matter to some of you, I know. But for all the clever nerds who took advantage of the easy 20,000 miles last year…

You can grab 10,000 more Etihad miles here. Unfortunately, this one requires you to take a flight this year. Still a nice amount of miles if you already have a trip planned.

Start Of Week Deals

  • Get 500 easy Virgin America points for your first purchase (Itunes songs are your friends).
  • The RocketMiles bonus of 3,000 miles for your first booking was extended to October.
  • You can now buy Simon mall Visa gift cards online. Still cheaper to go to the mall and do it in person.
  • Get $50 off your Expedia stay if you book today- (200 bucks or more).

End Of Week Triple

  • Just got an email offering an easy 400 United miles here. If the link works, it’s pretty simple. Join e-miles, activate the account, and collect.
  • I also got a killer offer in the mail from Hyatt recently.  Stay in the Hyatt Regency Maui for 6 days/5 nights and receive 10,000 Hyatt points. The price is just $499. If you show up in their system, you might actually get it for $299. Limited dates, and you have to go to a 90-minute timeshare presentation. Call 1-800-665-8455 if you want to do it or get more information. Killer deal, in my not-so-humble opinion.
  • There’s a new 2% cashback option from Citibank. The Double Cash card is fine for people who want an easy way to earn a little cash back. Of course, if spending heavily in specific categories, there are definitely better options.
