Happy Labor Day Weekend!
It’s been a busy month since our last post, so let’s get back into it, with a quick recap of the top deals you may have missed in August. Starting with some Quick Hits from Marriott, Accor and Hilton hotels.
Quick Deals: Autumn Hotel Promotions
We’re seeing plenty of points amplifiers from various hotel groups. This is perfect if you already have travel booked at this specific hotels, since you can typically register for the promotion and then call to double-check that your preexisting is eligible. Before calling, you can also price check your same exact itinerary and if nothing has changed, simple rebook to ensure the bonus is activated.
Marriott: Earn 1,500 points per stay and an extra 3,000 points when you stay at three different Marriott brands. Valid through November 26, book by October 15. Marriott points have high value – register at Marriott Rewards.
Accor Hotels: Quadruple your reward points when staying in new hotels through November 26. Even without the promo, Accor Hotels are excellent options in pricey European cities. Book by October 15 - register at Accor.
Hilton: Register for Hilton's Q4 promotion and earn double points in most cities, triple points in select cities from September 6 to December 31. Register now at Hilton Honors.
Let us know if you were able to cash in on any of these bonus offers!
Main Event: Avios Transfer Bonus
Chase Ultimate Rewards has a fantastic offer for Avios enthusiasts. Until September 22, enjoy a 30% transfer bonus when transferring your points to British Airways, Iberia, and Aer Lingus Avios. What's more exciting is that Qatar Airways is now part of the Avios program. This means you can effectively get a 30% transfer bonus to Qatar Airways by transferring through one of the other airlines first.
To maximize your transferred points, we recommend checking out this article that highlights some incredible Sweet Spots available via Avios. Discover how to get the most value out of your points here: Maximizing Chase's New Avios Transfer Bonuses
I’ve booked quite a few flights via Avios flying on American Airlines and while I usually wouldn’t recommend proactively transferring miles without a specific game plan to use them, this deal is too good for me to pass up!

American Express cardholders, you're in for a treat! Your Amex account may be hiding dozens of travel offers waiting to be unlocked. We’re seeing 15-20 offers each and for reference:
