Earn 5,000 Bonus Miles with AA eShopping Holiday Offer

AA eShopping

Last week I received a bonus offer from my Southwest Airlines credit card and now American Airlines has sent an offer to earn 5,000 bonus miles.

In the Holiday Early Access bonus campaign, American Airlines eShopping is offering me the chance to earn 5,000 bonus miles. To earn the bonus, I’ll need to do a somewhat hefty amount of spend through their online shopping portal.

Here’s the details of the offer. Continue reading Earn 5,000 Bonus Miles with AA eShopping Holiday Offer

Airbnb $50 Off $100 from Amex Offers

AirbnbAmex Offers have been a great way to save (and even get free) money with some pretty solid and lucrative offers at times.

Most recently I received 2 Different Shop Small Amex Offers. The most lucrative offer that I can recall receiving was back in late June. With the offer I was able to get $375 in free money when all was said and done.

Amex Offers can even help with the decision on whether or not it’s worth keeping a credit card open. The offers can help to pay back the cost of the fee and then some.

This morning, a post from Deals We Like caught my attention. Continue reading Airbnb $50 Off $100 from Amex Offers

3 Amex Cards, 2 Different Shop Small Amex Offers

Amex Offers

Over the past few years American Express created a new shopping holiday with Small Business Saturday. By offering card members free statement credits, many of us had a lot of fun doing some shopping on Amex.

One year we combined our credits to pay for most of Lucas’ first car seat. In 2012 we made a full day out of SBS, spreading our credits at a bunch of places. Find out what we did with our credits for SBS last year here.

I was looking forward to another fun Small Business Saturday this year. Then the news came that for 2015 there would not be any Small Business credits. Bummer. The holiday that Amex created was now over…

Then Amex threw some of us a bone. Continue reading 3 Amex Cards, 2 Different Shop Small Amex Offers

Trick or Treat on Southwest Airlines with a Free Drink!

Southwest Airlines

Earlier in the month I wrote about a couple of new Southwest drink options as well as a couple of upcoming free drink dates.

Southwest’s new drink options include tequila & margarita mix as well as a new beer. Since one of the free drink dates is coming up I wanted post a reminder. Continue reading Trick or Treat on Southwest Airlines with a Free Drink!

Hot Deal: Any Lonely Planet eBook, $8.99 for Limited Time

Lonely Planet ebook

When I purchase a travel guidebook, the overwhelming majority of the time, we go with Lonely Planet.

While no guidebook is perfect, Kim and I find Lonely Planet to put out the best guides for our travels. We like getting a bit of history about the country, learning about the sites (obviously) and skimming over the dining suggestions.

Besides guidebooks, Lonely Planet also publishes a variety of other travel-related books. I recently wrote about their just released Best in Travel 2016 book. They also picked the Top Sites in the World in the book Ultimate Travel. Continue reading Hot Deal: Any Lonely Planet eBook, $8.99 for Limited Time

500 FREE Hotel Rooms Being Given Away for NYE in NYC & 4 European Cities

CitizenM Hotel

New Year’s Eve is probably one of the priciest nights of the year to stay at hotels in many cities.

Last year we considered using an IHG Anniversary Free Night on NYE in NYC which would’ve got us a free room which would’ve cost close to $2,000 for the night! (Find out what we used our IHG Free Night on here.)

If you’d like to spend New Year’s Eve celebrating at a hotel but don’t want to spend the points or cash it might cost, one hotel chain is giving away 500 free rooms on New Years Eve in five cities! I came across this interesting promo thanks to an article from Frommer’s. Continue reading 500 FREE Hotel Rooms Being Given Away for NYE in NYC & 4 European Cities

Earn 2X Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Points on Flights

Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards

Earlier today I received an e-mail which had what I assumed was a new offer from Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards. With the offer, I can earn 2X points on fall trips. The funny thing is that the offer actually started over a month back!

The 2x point promo started on September 14 but there is still time left to take advantage if your planning to book an upcoming flight. This is a targeted offer so if you didn’t receive a message about it, then this probably won’t help you.

(I did receive this offer for Lucas’ and my account so I’m guessing that most Rapid Rewards members received the offer?) Continue reading Earn 2X Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Points on Flights

Visa Checkout $20 Statement Credit Posted to US Bank Card

Visa Checkout

Over the summer I wrote about an offer to get a $20 statement credit for enrolling a US Bank credit card in Visa Checkout.

With an offer so simple, why wouldn’t I take advantage of this offer?

I enrolled my US Bank FlexPerks card back in July and never really thought about the offer again. Maybe I should keep track of these promos to make sure all of them post to my accounts! Continue reading Visa Checkout $20 Statement Credit Posted to US Bank Card

I recently came across a pretty awesome promotion from Conde Naste Traveler.

CN Traveler shares a “Deal of the Day: A Five-Star Hotel in NYC for Just $2“.

But of course there has got to be a catch. Regardless, I signed up for this offer and hope to win a $2 bargain priced NYC hotel stay! Continue reading “Win” a $2 Luxury Hotel Stay in NYC
