✈️ Miles & Points Daily Update
😮 IHG and Hilton both offering 100% bonus on points purchases - doubles your buying power
📣 United miles on sale with 100% bonus through August 24
🏨 Frontier offering massive 150% bonus on miles purchases (but proceed with caution)
Welcome back, deal hunters! Today we've got some airport drama, point sales galore, and honestly? Some of the best hotel point bonuses I've seen in a while. Let's dive in...
🚨 Airport Chaos: SLC Edition
In a wild scene at Salt Lake City Airport, a man went on a rampage at the rental car facility with... wait for it... a broomstick. (Yes, you read that correctly.) The damage? A casual $8,000 from smashing a car's mirror. When police arrived, he basically dared them to shoot him. They opted for the taser instead. (Probably a wise choice.)
🏨 Hot Hotel Points Sales
Both IHG and Hilton are offering 100% bonus on point purchases right now. This effectively brings both programs down to 0.5 cents per point. Heads up: The IHG offer ends sooner (August 28), while Hilton's runs until September 25. If you're planning any IHG stays, you'll want to move quickly on this one.
✈️ Airline Miles Bonuses
The standout here is Frontier with a massive 150% bonus bringing the cost to 1.08 cents per mile. But remember: Frontier miles can be tricky to use effectively. United's offering a solid 100% bonus (1.88 cents per mile), but it ends tomorrow (August 24). Air Canada's not far behind with an 85% bonus at 1.46 cents per mile. Warning: These prices are still higher than what you'd typically want to pay for most award redemptions. Only buy if you have a specific high-value redemption in mind!
That's all for today, folks! Try not to smash any rental cars with broomsticks. 😉 Safe travels!
