Current Amex Offers

Frequent Miler Team — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 22:45:31 +0000

This post is designed to show current Amex Offers. If you have any Amex cards, even authorized user cards, then you’re eligible to sign up for offers when you log into your Amex account. If you’re planning to shop or book travel, check this page to see if an Amex Offer exists that will help you save money or earn extra points.

Amex Offers often appear on some cards, but not others. Don’t be surprised if an offer listed here is not available on any of your cards. Additionally, some of the offers shown here are only available in specific regions.

CardPointers

The data found below was graciously provided by CardPointers. CardPointers is an app and browser extension which can be used to automatically load Amex offers (and offers from many other institutions) to your cards. Once done, you can quickly and easily see all of the offers available to you.

Viator/TripAdvisor Experiences Chase Offer: Get 8% back on up to $125 spend

Stephen Pepper — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 21:45:09 +0000

There’s a new card-linked spending offer for Viator available on targeted cards. It’s a Chase Offer giving 8% back on up to $125 spend and it’s also valid for TripAdvisor Experiences bookings.

The Deal

Get 8% back as a statement credit for Viator and TripAdvisor Experiences bookings with a targeted Chase Offer.

Key Terms

Expires April 30, 2026.
$10 cashback total.
Offer valid on first two payments only.
Offer only valid on purchases made directly with the merchant.
Offer valid online only at viator.com and/or tripadvisor.com/Attractions.
Offer not valid on purchases made using third-party services, delivery services, or a third-party payment account (e.g., buy now pay later).
Offer only valid on U.S. purchases.

Quick Thoughts

An 8% statement credit isn’t a huge return, but it’s a decent enough offer considering there’s no minimum spend requirement and so it’s valid on cheap activities too.

With a limit of $10 total cashback, you’ll max this out when spending $125 across one or two transactions. If you’ll be booking a more expensive activity for two or more people and you have the offer on more than one credit card, you could book the tickets separately in order to take advantage of multiple statement credits.

Seeing as this is a card-linked spending offer, it’ll stack nicely with shopping portal rewards. Viator and TripAdvisor Experiences are often available at high portal rates, especially through Capital One Shopping where you can often get targeted for rates of 20%-35% back.

(Update: Extended) CardPointers: Automatically enroll offers to all of your cards

Stephen Pepper — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 20:46:21 +0000

CardPointers is an app/website/browser extension that helps you track all your credit cards, their various benefits, etc. Its most popular feature is the ability to auto-enroll card-linked spending offers like Amex Offers, Citi Offers, etc. Rather than having to go through and manually click to enroll in each offer, CardPointers will automatically do that for you.

Update 4/8/26: CardPointers has extended the 50% discount on both annual and lifetime plans through April 9, 2026.

The Deal

Save 50% on annual and lifetime CardPointers memberships.
Direct link to offer (our affiliate link)

Key Terms

Annual membership – $45 per year, even after your first year (normally $90)
Lifetime membership – $140 (normally $280)

Quick Thoughts

Update: Having used the app since the beginning of 2025, I now love it. It’s ridiculously convenient having CardPointers auto-load offers, rather than needing to manually click on each one.

Another huge convenience is being able to quickly see which cards have an offer loaded to them for a specific retailer at a glance. My wife and I went to Ikea a couple of times last month to buy some furniture, home goods, etc. I’d noticed that there was an Ikea Chase Offer and knew that we’d be spending enough to spread the cost across multiple cards in order to earn several statement credits. Rather than having to log in to both of our accounts and click through to each of our cards to see if they’d been targeted for it, I was simply able to check the CardPointers app and see which of the cards had it loaded already. Doing that probably only saved me 10-15 minutes, but it removed that tediousness from my life and that’s not the only time I’ve used that functionality.

Below is my original assessment of the app.

I’ve seen CardPointers regularly mentioned in various groups over the last year or two, but had procrastinated on registering myself until recently. Although I set up an account and downloaded the app a week or two ago, I hadn’t gotten around to linking my cards until last night. To be honest, I was initially confused about how to do that as I’d assumed CardPointers would use some kind of service like Plaid in order to do that, but it’s done via its Chrome browser extension. After setting up an account and downloading the extension, simply log in to your account(s) and you should see an option to add the relevant offers. For example, when logging in to my Amex account there was a small box at the bottom showing that offers were being added.

When logging in to Citi, a similar thing happened:

Once offers are loaded to your account, you can view them using either the CardPointers browser extension or app. To view via the browser extension, click the jigsaw icon at the top-right of Chrome and select CardPointers X:

That’ll display a popup with three menu items, the middle of which is ‘Offers’. Clicking on the Offers tab will display all the offers now loaded to your card(s). It defaults to displaying them alphabetically, but over time I imagine it’ll be more convenient to sort them by date added to more easily see what’s new.

In the app, there’s an ‘Offers’ menu button at the bottom which does a similar thing. In the app you can also filter by category (e.g. airline offers, hotel offers, restaurant offers, etc.). Both the extension and app have search functionality too, so if there’s a specific offer you’re interested in, that’s an easy way to see if any of your cards were targeted.

Seeing as I’m so new to the app, I can’t speak to many quirks that it might have. However, I have seen people mention before that you need to verify that your card does actually have an offer loaded to it before trying to redeem it, rather than solely relying on the CardPointers app or browser extension stating it is.

It’s also worth verifying the full details of an offer yourself. When acquainting myself with the app last night, I noticed that the browser extension stated that an Anthropologie Amex Offer was giving 20% back on $25+ purchases with a limit of up to $5 back. I’d tried to use this Amex Offer a week or two ago and so knew that was incorrect – the offer was valid on up to $125 of spend (i.e. up to $25 back).

The app meanwhile did display the correct details:

The CardPointers browser extension also reminds you if you have a money-saving opportunity on one or more of your cards, although once again you’ll want to verify the offer details. For example, when playing Wordle last night it let me know that I could save by using my Schwab Platinum card. That’s presumably courtesy of the Digital Entertainment Credit which is valid on New York Times subscriptions (Wordle is owned by the New York Times), although the text box stated I could save 2% on the purchase which initially seemed like it wasn’t correct.

n.b. If you don’t want to see this kind of popup for any given retailer, you can click the X in the top-right corner of the purple box and select that you don’t want to see the popup anymore for that retailer, or you can just snooze it for a while.

I thought that perhaps that display was a little goofy due to it being a Digital Entertainment Credit rather than an Amex Offer. I therefore tested it out with Anthropologie, but that displayed a 2% offer too.

However, at the bottom of that box it has a prompt to ‘Show Other Offers’. If you click on that, it’ll display other related offers like the Digital Entertainment Credit for the New York Times and the Amex Offer for Anthropologie.

Overall though, CardPointers looks like it’s an extremely useful tool which you might find comes with some unexpected benefits, especially if you like to utilize and maximize Amex Offers. Although $63 per year or $196 for a lifetime subscription (or cheaper when there are additional sales available) might sound expensive as a new user, I’ve heard enough about it to know that it could certainly save you significantly more money than that over time. I’m therefore looking forward to finally getting around to using it myself.

Discover: Get a $20 bonus after spending $100 on mobile wallets (targeted)

Tim Steinke — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 19:46:25 +0000

Discover is sending another targeted offer to some cardholders: a $20 cashback bonus when spending $100+ in-store or online with mobile wallets like Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Google Pay.

The Deal

There is a new targeted offer for a $20 cashback bonus when spending $100+ in-store or online with mobile wallets like Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Google Pay.

Key Terms

Offer valid now through 5/31/2026.
Earn $20 Cashback Bonus® when you spend at least $100 on new purchases made using your Discover® Card with your Digital Wallet. Digital Wallet purchases can be made in-store or online for Apple Pay®, Samsung Pay, Garmin Pay, and in-store only with Google Pay.
No activation required.
Offer is non-transferable and limited to one offer per Discover account, whether the offer is received from Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, or Garmin Pay.
Purchases must be made with merchants in the U.S.
Digital Wallet purchases include some online purchases and some in-store purchases made with your smartphone, tablet, or wearable. Purchases made with Google Pay include only those made by tapping your mobile device in-store. Certain third-party payment accounts and digital wallet transactions may be identified as being through a digital wallet. Discover does not determine the transaction details it receives for purchases.

Quick Thoughts

This offer is targeted, with some cardholders receiving it via email and others finding it under the Offers section of their Discover account. Getting $20 back when spending only $100 is a great deal, especially since that’s on top of whatever awards your Discover card would normally give you.

If you’re targeted, it’s a no-brainer to take advantage of.

Buy IHG Points for as low as 0.56 cents each

Stephen Pepper — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 18:46:21 +0000

IHG has returned with another sale, offering an 80% bonus when buying points. That means you can buy IHG Rewards points for as low as 0.56 cents per point (cpp). This is a limited-time sale that ends April 30.

Unlike many IHG sales labeled as mystery bonuses, this latest version doesn’t appear to offer varying bonus point levels. However, it might be targeted, and sometimes members have different bonus amounts or tier thresholds.

Note that IHG points are often on sale with a 100% bonus, so unless you need this right away, there’s no reason to jump on the sale.

The Deal

Buy IHG Rewards points for 0.56 cents per point when buying points with an 80% bonus.
- Must purchase a minimum of 5,000 points to receive the bonus.
- You must purchase at least 26,000 points to get the lowest cost of 0.5 cents per point.
Direct link to offer (our affiliate link)

Key Terms

This Offer is available for qualifying purchases of IHG One Rewards points made between 12:00 AM ET on April 7, 2026 and 11:59 PM ET on April 30, 2026 (“Offer Period”).
Members will receive a bonus of 80% of the points purchased when they purchase a minimum 5,000 points purchase threshold on a per transaction basis.
There is a minimum points purchase threshold on a per transaction basis to be eligible for a bonus. The percentage bonus amount will show for eligible members when they log into their IHG One Rewards account. (Please click through to access the landing page for the Offer.)
The number of points a member may purchase, gift, or receive as a gift during the Offer Period is subject to annual limits under the IHG One Rewards Membership Terms and Conditions, which are available on www.ihg.com. Members may purchase a maximum of up to 200,000 points during a calendar year, so the number of points a member can purchase during the Offer Period will depend on how many points the member had already purchased during the same calendar year. For example, if a member had previously purchased 50,000 points in 2026, then the member could only purchase up to a maximum of 150,000 points during the Offer Period and would be eligible to receive the applicable percentage of additional bonus points under this Offer based only on the amount of points purchased during the Offer Period.
Similar limits apply to gifting points and receiving points as a gift: members may gift up to a maximum of 200,000 points, or receive as gifts from other members a combined maximum of up to 200,000 points, during the Offer Period, subject to reduction by the number of points that have been already gifted, or received as a gift, in the same calendar year. If a member purchases points that exceed the 200,000 points threshold for 2026 then they cannot purchase points for the remainder of the calendar year.
Purchased points, as well as any bonus points awarded under this Offer, do not count towards IHG One Rewards Elite status.
This is an exclusive, non-transferable offer for intended recipients only and may not be forwarded.
Please allow up to 72 hours for points to post and appear in the recipient’s account.

Best uses of IHG points

4th night free. Use points to book 4 nights for the price of 3. This benefit is valid for longer stays, so if you’re staying 8 nights, you’ll get both the 4th and 8th nights free. This benefit is available only to cardholders of the IHG Premier, Traveler, and Business credit cards. Rather than reducing the total cost of the stay by 25%, the points required for every 4th night are deducted. Seeing as IHG uses dynamic pricing, that can be great if the 4th night is the most expensive, but not as good if that night is the cheapest. See this post for more about the possibilities.
10% points rebate. If you have the IHG Select credit card (no longer available for new applications), you’ll get a 10% points rebate when booking award stays. The points are credited back a few weeks after your stay, so you need to have the full number of points required for an award stay in your account. The 10% points rebate stacks with the 4th night free benefit if you have both an IHG Premier, Traveler or Business credit card and an IHG Select card, with the 4th night free being calculated first.
Sweet spots with dynamic pricing. Although IHG uses dynamic pricing for award stays, award pricing isn’t always as high as the corresponding cash cost. For example, Stephen booked a stay at the Staybridge Suites Temecula-Wine Country in California. The average nightly cost was $258.81 with taxes and fees, but the points cost ranged from 19,000 to 23,000 points per night. Buying points at 0.5cpp would therefore enable you to stay for only $95-$115 per night at that award pricing – less than half the cost of a regular paid stay. Stacking the 4th night free and a 10% points rebate reduced the cost of a 9-night stay there to only 14,500 points per night, or $72.50 per night when buying points at 0.5cpp. That was less than a third of the cost of a paid stay.

Things to know about IHG points

When you book nights with points, you will not earn points for the stay unless IHG is running a promotion that awards bonus points per night/stay, which includes award nights.
Most hotel taxes are not charged on award stays, so this can make the value of buying points even better. Arguably, this factor and the one above roughly cancel each other out.
IHG Rewards points purchases are made via Points.com. You can click through from a shopping portal to earn a little cashback on the purchase, thereby reducing your net cost for the points – you can find the current rates here.
Points.com purchases don’t code as travel, so it’s best to pay with a card that earns at a higher rate for everyday spend or on a card where you’re working on a minimum spend requirement.
A couple of readers report that some card-linked IHG spending offers are triggered by points purchases, despite payment being processed by Points.com rather than IHG. See the discussion thread here.

Targeted Marriott Amex Offers: Spend $375 & get $150, spend $250 & get $50, & more

Stephen Pepper — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 17:45:32 +0000

There’s a fresh round of targeted Marriott Amex Offers out today that can save you up to 40% on your stay depending on which version(s) you’re targeted for.

The Deal

There are several targeted Marriott Amex Offers including:
- Spend $375 & get $150 back
- Spend $400 & get $100 back
- Spend $250 & get $50 back

Key Terms

Expires July 22, 2026.
Offer valid only on room rate and room charges at participating Marriott Bonvoy properties in the U.S. and U.S. territories, the Caribbean, Canada and Mexico.
Reservations must be made online at Marriott.com, via the Marriott Bonvoy App or by calling 1-888-236-2427.
Excludes The Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, EDITION, The Luxury Collection, W Hotels, JW Marriott, Marriott Vacation Club, Design Hotels, Protea Hotels by Marriott, Marriott Executive Apartments, Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy, and Vistana.
Excludes gift card purchases.
Not valid for online retail purchases, hotel amenities, or purchases of Marriott Bonvoy points.
Qualifying purchase means a purchase at a participating Marriott Bonvoy property made during the offer period with your enrolled American Express Card and which is in an amount totaling at least $375 USD as posted to your account, following conversion from a foreign currency, if applicable, in accordance with your Cardmember Agreement.
Offer not valid for lodging stays that are paid for before the promotion start date or after the promotion end date.

Quick Thoughts

These Marriott Amex Offers provide some great opportunities to save, particularly the $375/$150 version as that represents 40% savings if spending exactly $375.

Note that the offers are only valid for stays at properties in the U.S. and U.S. territories, the Caribbean, Canada, and Mexico. It’s valid on room rates for paid stays; taxes/fees on the stays will also count towards the spending threshold. Even if you’re booking an award stay, you can also trigger the Amex Offer statement credit for charges to your room for things like meals, spa treatments, parking, pet fees, etc.

You should also be able to lock in the value by buying a physical gift card from the front desk of a Marriott property. The bigger struggle will be finding a property that not only has physical gift cards, but a front desk employee who knows how to sell them. The terms exclude gift card purchases, but that’s because online gift card purchases aren’t processed by Marriott, so those don’t trigger the Amex Offer.

If you’ll be booking a paid stay, you can earn 2,500 bonus points per stay plus an additional elite night credit per brand courtesy of this promotion. Paid stays can also earn additional rewards if you click through to Marriott from a shopping portal.

Preferred Hotels promo: Earn 2,500 I Prefer points at new properties

Stephen Pepper — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 16:45:37 +0000

Preferred Hotels is once again offering 2,500 bonus I Prefer points when booking stays at their new properties.

The Deal

Earn 2,500 bonus points when staying at new Preferred Hotels properties.
Direct link to offer.

Key Terms

Book by June 30, 2026 for stays through September 30, 2026.
Booking must be made through PreferredHotels.com, iprefer.com, the I Prefer App, Preferred Hotels & Resorts Global Reservations, and must contain a valid I Prefer Member number, prior to arrival day, to receive points for this promotion.
Bonus points for this promotion are earned upon completion of the qualified stay.

Quick Thoughts

2,500 bonus points are worth ~$12.50, so this isn’t a massive bonus, particularly seeing as it’s per stay rather than per night.

Still, any bonus points are good points, plus it can be stacked with this separate Preferred Hotels promo awarding double points for stays in April. The 2,500 bonus points won’t be doubled, but you will earn 2X points on your base earnings and then the 2,500 bonus points from this new additions promo on top.

Avid hiker? Get 50% back on an AllTrails subscription with a targeted Amex Offer

Stephen Pepper — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 15:45:45 +0000

Are you an avid hiker? If so, you’re likely familiar with AllTrails.com which is an excellent resource for hiking trails not only in the US, but worldwide too.

AllTrails has a free membership which provides a lot of information that you might need when heading out for a hike, as well as a couple of paid tiers that offer even more functionality like offline maps, alerts for wrong turns, no ads, and much more.

If you’ve been interested in trying out one of those paid tiers—or if you’re a current subscriber—you can save 50% on the subscription fee courtesy of a targeted AllTrails Amex Offer.

View from the La Luz trail up to Sandia Peak in Albuquerque, NM

The Deal

Get 50% back as a statement credit when purchasing an AllTrails subscription with a card that has a targeted Amex Offer loaded to it.

Key Terms

Expires July 5, 2026.
Limit of $40 in total statement credits per eligible Card Member account.
Offer valid online at US website alltrails.com/amex.
Excludes AllTrails Gear shop.
Eligible subscriptions or memberships will automatically renew unless you cancel, and the merchant will charge the applicable fee to the Card they have on file. If you receive a free trial, charges may not post to your account until the trial has lapsed.
Charges must post to your account by July 5, 2026 in order to qualify.

Quick Thoughts

AllTrails was a godsend on our 50 state road trip as it made it incredibly easy to find hiking trails near us wherever we happened to be that week. I never subscribed to a paid tier, simply relying on the vast wealth of information that’s available for creating a free account.

If this AllTrails Amex Offer had been around back then, I’d have probably been tempted to subscribe to test out the additional functionality. My sense of direction and trail-following skills haven’t always been stellar, so having access to alerts when I’d made a wrong turn would’ve been helpful.

The AllTrails Plus subscription tier costs $35.99 per year, so you’d get $18 back from the Amex Offer. The AllTrails Peak tier meanwhile costs $79.99 per year, so you’d get the maximum $40 back as a statement credit.

In addition to that, you can click through from a shopping portal to earn additional rewards – here are the current rates. Seeing as the 50% back is a card-linked offer rather than a promo code, there shouldn’t be any problems with the purchase tracking through a portal.

That said, you can stack the Amex Offer with a promo code and possibly shopping portal rewards too. For example, promo code SARAHWALKING30 is giving 30% off, reducing a Plus membership to $25.19 and a Peak membership to $55.99. The Amex Offer would reduce the net cost to $12.60 for the Plus membership at that pricing and $28 for a Peak membership. That’s before accounting for any shopping portal rewards provided those track.

Update: Roxy has shared in the comments below that promo code APRIL26 will take off 50%. Stacking that with the Amex Offer means you’ll be saving 75% for the first year.

Buy Hilton Points For 0.5 Cents Each

Best Uses for Hilton Points

5th night free. Use points to book 5 nights for the price of 4. This benefit is valid on longer stays, so if staying 10 nights you’ll get both the 5th and 10th nights free. Hilton status is required to take advantage of this benefit, but you can get that with the no annual fee Hilton credit card.
Save money on low category hotels. Hilton hotel awards start at 5,000 points per night, but those can be very difficult to find. 10,000 and 15,000 point properties are more common. These would cost $50 or $75 when booked with purchased points or less if using the 5th night free benefit.
Stay at high-end properties for less. Most of Hilton’s top-tier properties top out at 150,000 points per night for a standard room, although some go as high as 250,000 points. With this promotion, 150,000 points would cost you $750, which isn’t cheap, but it is less than the cash rate at many properties charging that many points.
Pool points with up to 10 other members. Hilton allows members to create a pool with up to 10 people to share points back and forth. This makes the effective purchase limit much higher when combining forces with other members.

Things to Know About Hilton Points

When you book nights with points, you will not earn points for the stay unless Hilton is running a promotion that awards bonus points per night/stay which includes award nights.
Most hotel taxes are not charged on award stays, so this can make the value of buying points even better. Arguably, this factor and the one above roughly cancel each other out.
Resort and destination fees are waived on award stays. This alone can make it worthwhile to use points instead of cash for your bookings.

United & Alaska shopping portal bonuses: Spend $100 & get 500 bonus miles / points

Stephen Pepper — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 13:45:27 +0000

The United and Alaska Airlines shopping portals both launched limited time promotions today that are offering 500 bonus miles/points when spending $100.

The Deals

Alaska Airlines shopping portal:
- Spend $100 & earn 500 bonus Atmos Rewards points
- Expires April 17, 2026
- Direct link to offer
United shopping portal:
- Spend $100 & earn 500 bonus MileagePlus miles
- Expires April 15, 2026
- Direct link to offer

Key Terms

Terms below are for the United portal, but the Alaska portal terms are similar other than the expiration date
- During the “Mystery Bonus” offer, which runs from 4/8/2026 through 4/15/2026 at 11:59:59 pm ET (the “Bonus Period”), Member will earn a one-time bonus of 500 MileagePlus bonus award miles on qualifying purchases made through the MileagePlus Shopping mall or from purchases made through MileagePlus Shopping in-store offers.
- This one-time bonus award will be based on Member’s cumulative qualifying purchases made during the Bonus Period: 500 miles for qualifying purchases of $100 or more.
- “Qualifying purchases” do not include returns, cancellations, shipping and handling, taxes, gift card or other cash equivalent purchases, and certain products that are not eligible for bonus miles. Please see the MileagePlus Shopping mall site for details on product eligibility and other restrictions.
- Please allow up to 10 weeks after the Bonus Period for bonus award miles to post to your MileagePlus Shopping account.

Quick Thoughts

The math is easy to do for both of these offers: if you spend exactly $100, you’ll earn 5X bonus miles on top of the standard earnings. That’s a decent return, especially for retailers that usually have low portal earning rates.

Although gift card purchases are listed as being excluded, purchases from Giftcards.com do track and trigger these shopping portal bonuses.

Both the Alaska and United portals have card-linked in-store offer programs, with that spending also counting towards the $100 spending threshold for this bonus. You can find the in-store program for the Alaska portal here and the United portal here.

As a reminder, the 500 bonus Atmos Rewards points you’d earn from the Alaska portal do count towards status in that you earn 1,000 status points for every 3,000 redeemable points you earn.

(Update) Rakuten offering bonus cashback/rewards on select Bank of America credit cards

Stephen Pepper — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 12:45:26 +0000

Update 4/8/26: Rakuten has dropped the rewards on the Travel Rewards card from $250/25K points to $150/15K points, but increased the rewards on the Customized Cash Rewards card from $75/7.5K points to $150/15K points.

h/t Doctor of Credit

Last year, Rakuten started offering bonus rewards when applying and being approved for select Chase credit cards. The only Chase card available via Rakuten at the moment is the Freedom Unlimited®, but there are now also two Bank of America credit cards for which you can earn bonus rewards on top of the credit card welcome offers.

The cards in question are the Travel Rewards card and the Customized Cash Rewards card. Details for both of the cards are below, but note that clicking through to apply for the cards from our site won’t get you the bonus rewards from Rakuten.

Noteworthy perks: Up to 75% bonus for Preferred Rewards banking customers

The Travel Rewards card is the most rewarding of the two options in terms of the welcome bonus and Rakuten rewards combined. The welcome offer from Bank of America itself is 25,000 points (redeemable as $250 cash back) after spending $1,000 in the first 90 days. If you were approved for that card after clicking through from your Rakuten account, you’ll earn $150 bonus cashback or 15K bonus points, depending on the earning settings on your Rakuten account.

The other card available via Rakuten is the Customized Cash Rewards card. The welcome offer from Bank of America is $200 bonus cashback after spending $1,000 in the first 90 days, as well as 6% cashback on up to $2,500 spend per quarter for the first year in a category of your choosing. If clicking through from Rakuten before being approved, you’ll also earn $150 bonus cashback or 15K bonus points.

While that Rakuten bonus is now the same for both of these cards, the Customized Cash Rewards card is a better keeper card given the ability to earn 3% cashback on $2,500 spend every quarter in a category of your choosing for as long as you keep the card. The categories you can choose from are gas and EV charging stations, online shopping/cable/internet/phone plans/streaming, dining, travel, drug stores/pharmacies, or home improvement/furnishings. Many of those categories have ways in which you can easily generate $2,500 of spend each quarter in order to max out the spending category. The earning rate will also be increased if you have Preferred Rewards status with Bank of America, although be aware that that’ll be changing.

What are American Airlines AAdvantage miles worth?

Greg the Frequent Miler and Tim Steinke — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 01:45:18 +0000

At Frequent Miler, we keep a database of point valuations called “Reasonable Redemption Values.” These are estimates of the “worth” of airline miles, hotel points, transferable points, and more. The idea is to identify the point at which it is “reasonable” to get that much value or more from your points.

This information is critical for making informed decisions. In fact, it’s a key component of the First Year Value information shown on our Best Credit Card Offers page, and it’s similarly used to show which cards offer the best value for everyday spend and which offer the best category bonuses.

When we first started looking at the value of airline miles, we used a laborious manual process to create estimates, but we now have a much better way of pinning down the value of American AAdvantage miles.

Points Path, a Google Flights extension, keeps records of both the points and cash prices for all searches conducted on its platform. Points Path founder and former Frequent Miler writer Julian Kheel has made this data available to us to identify rewards program point values.

Thanks to Julian and Points Path, we now have access to results from almost 9 million domestic and international American Airlines searches, showing both the cash and award prices for the same flight (including partner flights). Using this data, we can provide a far better estimate of the “Reasonable Redemption Value” of AAdvantage Miles than we were ever able to obtain by using manual calculations.

Based on an analysis of Points Path’s data, we’ve concluded that the new Reasonable Redemption Value (RRV) for AAdvantage miles = 1.4 Cents Per Mile.

Points Path Data

Listed below is a summary of the raw data from Points Path. There are two values that are important to us. The median is the point at which half of the observed results have better point values, and half have worse. We also have the average value of all the searches, in total and by booking class.

Cabin	Median Value (cpp)	Average Value (cpp)	Number of data points
Economy	1.37*	1.51*	7,680,828
Premium Economy	1.33	1.68	137,565
Business	1.22	1.68	819,263
First	1.11	1.54	217,064
Combined	1.29	1.53	8,854,720

*Adjusted for basic economy results

Calculations

For our airline RRV values, we’ll use the midpoint between the average and the median. The reason is that the difference between the two is an indicator of how often more valuable sweet spots can be found in a given category.

If the median is 1 cent per point, that means half of all searches produced a value below 1 cent per point, and the other half above 1 cent per point. However, if the same data showed an average of 2 cents per point, it would mean that some of the 50% of searches that were above 1 cent per point were so far above that they doubled the result to 2 cents per point. Likely, that would indicate a higher prevalence of available sweet spot awards with outsized redemption value…something we like to see.

That’s indeed what happened with AA, as there’s a 19% increase from the median to the mean (or average). That indicates that, even though only half of the searches Points Path tracked showed redemptions above 1.29 cents per mile, enough of those searches produced outsized value to significantly raise the average redemption to 1.53 cents per mile. To us, this means there’s still ample opportunity to get excellent value when using AA miles.

Points Path Median Observed Value for American AAdvantage redemptions: 1.29 cents per mile
(based on 365 days of data as of April 7, 2026)
Points Path Mean Observed Value for American AAdvantage redemptions: 1.53 Cents Per Mile
(based on 365 days of data as of April 7, 2026)
Range: 1.11 to 1.68.
For our RRV, we’ll pick the midpoint between 1.29 and 1.53, then round it to 1 decimal place, or 1.4 Cents Per Mile.

Conclusion

The exercise described above resulted in no change to our Reasonable Redemption Value (RRV) for AAdvantage miles, which remained at 1.4 cents per mile. That’s the point at which most readers are likely to get that much value or more.

Please keep in mind that this does not mean you will always get a 1.4 cents-per-mile value from your AA miles. In practice, you’ll sometimes find better redemptions, and sometimes you’ll find worse. However, we believe that 1.4 cents is a “reasonable” expectation for what your American miles are “worth” when used towards award flights.

The JetBlue Premier card might finally become worth applying for

Stephen Pepper — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 23:45:43 +0000

When JetBlue launched the Barclays JetBlue Premier Mastercard last year, we were less than whelmed. With a $499 annual fee and little in the way of meaningful benefits, it was hard to come up with a demographic for whom this card would make sense versus the $99 annual fee JetBlue Plus and JetBlue Business cards. I even heard the JetBlue Premier card described as “a turd of a card” recently.

Well, it seems like JetBlue may themselves have been less than whelmed with uptake on the card because they’ve announced several new and updated benefits that could make the card a far more compelling option for JetBlue loyalists.

We don’t know yet precisely when these card changes will come into play, other than the press release stating that they’ll be added “this spring.”

Here’s a list of what’s changing.

Companion Pass statement credits

Perhaps the most eye-catching benefit announced is the addition of two big spend bonuses that can each earn you a Companion Pass, although it is important to temper your expectations. JetBlue is calling it a Companion Pass which might make you think of Southwest’s Companion Pass that can be used for an unlimited number of trips for as long as you have it, but seems to be more like a Companion Fare issued by Alaska Airlines.

When spending $15,000 in a calendar year, you’ll earn a companion “pass” that’s good for up to $500 of value. Then if you spend a total of $75,000 in a calendar year, you’ll earn a companion “pass” that’s good for up to $1,500 of value.

If you’d be able to max out the values on those passes, the $15K of purchases will be like an incremental 3.33% return on your spend, while the $75K pass will be like an incremental 2% return on your spend if calculating it based on the full $75K of spend, or 2.5% if calculating it based on the additional $60K of spend needed to get it. Either way, those are pretty good returns considering they’re on top of your standard card earnings.

We reached out to our contact with several questions to get more clarification on how these Companion Passes will work, so here are further details that go beyond what the press release shared:

Pay with Premier card – Flights that include companion pass bookings will have to be paid for with the JetBlue Premier card in order to get the statement credits (this makes sense seeing as it’s a card benefit).
Base fare only – It’ll only rebate the base fare, not any associated taxes and fees which could potentially be substantial.
Any companion – Anyone can be your companion and you don’t need to designate who that’ll be beyond booking their ticket with yours. You could therefore redeem a pass earned after $15K spend with one person and the pass earned after $75K spend with a different person.
Wait time – After meeting the $15K and/or $75K spend requirement, the companion pass will be issued within 6-8 weeks. I guess there’s a chance it might get issued before that but I certainly wouldn’t count on it, so you’ll need to bear that in mind if your intended use of the pass would be for a flight soon after you expect to hit the $15K or $75K spending threshold.
Validity dates – Companion passes will be valid for one year from the date of issuance, rather than the date you completed the spend. For example, if you complete the spend on September 1, 2026 and the pass is awarded on October 15, 2026, it’ll be valid through October 15, 2027.
One-time use – The passes can each only be used one time and only one companion pass per flight is allowed (i.e. you can’t redeem a $15K and a $75K pass for two different people on the same flight).
Not economy only – Companion passes can be redeemed for Mint in addition to economy (Blue) fares.

15% redemption rebate

The JetBlue Premier card currently benefits from a 10% award rebate, same as the JetBlue Plus and Business cards. Given the much higher annual fee, the Premier card’s rebate will increase to 15%, plus it’ll be valid not only for award flights on JetBlue metal, but on partner awards too.

For someone who redeems a ton of TrueBlue points each year, that additional 5% rebate could certainly add up. If you only redeem, say, 100K points per year though, the additional rebate would only amount to 5K points. That’s certainly not nothing, but you’ll need to take into account your own redemption patterns to calculate how worthwhile this increased benefit will be for you.

25 bonus Tiles each year

This new benefit will be particularly appealing for TrueBlue members who want to earn some level of Mosaic status. The 25 Tiles will be awarded at the start of each calendar year and, presumably, for existing JetBlue Premier cardholders this spring as soon as this benefit is added.

Mosaic 1, Mosaic 2, Mosaic 3, and Mosaic 4 require 50, 100, 150, and 250 Tiles in a calendar year respectively. That means that a 25 Tiles boost will get you halfway to Mosaic 1 and quarter of the way to Mosaic 2.

You also earn 1 Tile for every $1,000 you spend on a Premier card. If you’re looking at hitting one or both of the big spend bonuses for the Companion Pass(es), you’ll earn an additional 15 or 75 Tiles respectively. The latter would get you to Mosaic 2, while the former would get you 80% of the way to Mosaic 1 and that’s before taking into account Tiles earned through flights, via the TrueBlue Travel portal, etc.

TrueBlue Travel statement credits

The final addition/change relates to statement credits earned when booking travel through the TrueBlue Travel portal. JetBlue is marketing this in the following way:

Make more of every trip, beyond the flight. Cardmembers can earn up to $300 in annual statement credits when using the card for hotels, car rentals, cruises and more with TrueBlue Travel.

The thing is, the JetBlue Premier card already has this benefit. A more detailed explanation of how it currently works is that you get $50 for each TrueBlue Travel purchase of $250 or more, capped at $300 in statement credits per calendar year.

It turns out that their press release is underselling the updated benefit. We checked with our contact and they advised that although the maximum benefit will remain the same at $300, you no longer have to spend $250 on a transaction to get $50 back. Instead, you’ll be reimbursed on a dollar-for-dollar basis with no minimum spend requirement. That means that if you book a $75 rental car through TrueBlue Travel, you’ll get a $75 statement credit. Book a $125 hotel? You’ll get $125 back.

That makes the $300 credit much easier to use and makes it more akin to things like the Capital One Venture X and Venture X Business $300 travel credit. That in turn helps justify the card’s $499 annual fee much more when taken into account with all the other benefits.

JetBlue promo: Save 20% on flights with promo code SPRING20

Stephen Pepper — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 21:45:55 +0000

JetBlue launched a two-day sale today which is giving 20% off base fares when using promo code SPRING20. The catch? It’s only valid for travel on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

The Deal

Save 20% off base fares of eligible JetBlue flights when using promo code SPRING20.
Direct link to offer.

Key Terms

Promo code is valid until 4/8/26 (11:59 PM ET) for 20% off the base fare of a JetBlue flight for travel 4/14 – 5/20/26 (Tuesday & Wed travel).
Discount applies to base fare only.
Valid on nonstop flights excluding taxes and fees.
Code is valid for flights purchased online, new bookings only; limit one code per booking.
Code is not valid in connection with JetBlue Vacations packages, Mint fares, transatlantic flights, award flights, Cash + Points redemption bookings, taxes/fees, partner or codeshare or interline flights including JetBlue flights when at least one segment is operated by a partner airline, baggage fees, or any other products or services.
Code cannot be combined with other offers, cannot be partially redeemed, has no cash value, and is not redeemable for cash.

Quick Thoughts

There are a number of limitations of this promo code such as it only being valid for travel on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, it’s only valid on flights through May 20, it’s only for economy travel, and it’s not valid for transatlantic flights. However, if you need/want to fly on a Tuesday or Wednesday in the next 1.5 months and JetBlue serves the route(s) you want to travel, it’s worth applying the SPRING20 discount code to see if it’ll save you money.

If you’re planning a trip away and need to arrange for someone to look after your pet(s), there’s a new Rover.com Chase Offer that can save you $50 or more.

The Deal

Spend $100+ at Rover.com & get $50 back with a targeted Chase Offer.

Key Terms

Expires June 30, 2026.
Offer valid one time only.
Offer only valid on purchases made directly with the merchant.
Offer valid online only.
Offer not valid on purchase made using third-party services, delivery services, or a third-party payment account (e.g., buy now pay later).
Offer only valid on U.S. purchase.

Quick Thoughts

This Chase Offer came just a few days late for me as just last week we booked a pet sitter using Rover to take care of our pup for an upcoming trip. We might need to book another Rover stay before the end of June though, so hopefully we can still make use of this.

If you’re not familiar with Rover, it’s like an Airbnb for your pet(s). Pet sitters offer their services which range from boarding in your home, boarding in their home, walks, check-ins during the day while you’re at work, etc. Pet parents leave reviews for the pet sitters, so we try to book with sitters who have many reviews and repeat customers.

Overall, we’ve had a good experience with sitters we’ve booked through Rover, although the last one we used here in the UK wasn’t great. That said, we booked sitters through Rover all over the US while we were on our 50 state road trip and our dog seemed to be very well cared for.

If you have this Rover Chase Offer on multiple cards and your booking would cost $200 or more, you could book in two or more reservations to earn the statement credits from two or more cards. Just be sure to check with the person you’re booking with if they’re OK with you doing that, as some might prefer not having the hassle of multiple reservations.

There could be a benefit to the sitter though. Back in the day when there was a Rover Amex Offer and we had the offer on a dozen different cards, we asked the dog sitter who we always used while we were away if we could split the weeks-long reservation into smaller chunks in order for us to earn the statement credit on each card. She was fine with that and said that it benefited her because it meant she got paid by Rover every couple of days, rather than getting the chunk of the earnings at the very end of the stay like she would have if we’d booked it as one long stay. I’m not certain that’s still how this works (she advised us that about 10 years ago), but it might be beneficial for them.

However, be aware that some pet sitters offer discounts on longer stays which you might lose if only booking for a few nights at a time to use the offer on multiple cards.

Targeted Bilt cardholder promo: Earn +5 points on gas & EV charging (1K max bonus points)

Stephen Pepper — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 17:45:19 +0000

Bilt Rewards is targeting some cardholders with a nice little spending offer that’s giving an additional five points per dollar on gas and EV charging spend.

The Deal

Earn +5 points per dollar on targeted Bilt credit cards at gas stations and for EV charging.

Key Terms

Promotional offer open to eligible Primary Cardholders only.
Earn an additional 5x points per $1 spent when you make Qualifying Purchases at a merchant with Merchant Category Code for Service stations (with or without Ancillary Services); Fuel Dispenser, Automated; or Electric Vehicle Charging with your Bilt Card, beginning at 12:00am ET on the date the Promotional Email is delivered to your Bilt Rewards account email address and ending at 11:59pm ET on the 6th calendar day following the delivery date.
Max 1,000 bonus points.
Points may take 7 business days to post.

Quick Thoughts

The 5X points are in addition to the standard earning rate on your Bilt card which means that you’ll earn either 6X or 7X depending on which Bilt card you have.

Before getting too excited about this offer though, be sure to note the cap of 1,000 bonus points from this offer. That means it’s only valid for up to $200 of gas station and EV charging spend. That’s fine if you’re using it for actual gas or EV charging purchases, but it does mean that buying gift cards at a gas station will have limited upside.

Capital One Shopping/Offers: Earn 30%+ cashback or 18X+ miles on MGM Resorts stays & shows

Stephen Pepper — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 15:45:58 +0000

For today only, Capital One Shopping and Capital One Offers are giving boosted rates when booking stays and shows at MGM Resorts locations. The best rates I’ve seen so far are up to 30% cashback via Capital One Shopping and up to 18X miles via Capital One Offers, but it might be that there are even better offers out there.

The Deal

Earn up to 30% cashback via Capital One Shopping or up to 18% cashback/18X miles via Capital One Offers for stays and shows booked at MGM Resorts.

Capital One Shopping referral

If you’re new to Capital One Shopping, you can earn $80 when joining (see this post for full details):

Stephen's referral link ($80 bonus)
Tim's referral link ($80 bonus)
Stephen's alternate referral link ($80 bonus)

Key Terms

Expires April 7, 2026.

Quick Thoughts

Today is a rare day in that I haven’t received any targeted emails from Capital One Shopping yet. The best rate I’ve seen when visiting the Capital One Shopping website is 30% cashback broken down as follows:

Completed hotel stay at Luxor or Excalibur = 30%
Completed hotel stay at other properties = 26%
Ticketed shows = 20%

Even if you’re not interested in staying at MGM properties, being able to earn up to 20% cashback for shows at their properties could be appealing. It might also be that even higher offers are getting sent out on a targeted basis, so keep an eye on your emails today if you are planning on visiting any MGM Resorts locations.

Capital One Shopping offers are available to anyone. If you’re a Capital One cardholder, also check Capital One Offers. The best rate I’ve seen is 18X miles (or 18% cashback if you have a card that earns cashback rather than miles), but again – there might be even better targeted rates than 18X, so you’ll need to check your account to see what’s on offer. You can find Capital One Offers by logging in to your account and scrolling down to the section where it says ‘Activate shopping offers.’ Click on ‘View all offers’ and you should see MGM Resorts listed towards the top.

Just as a quick heads up, if you haven’t filed your 2025 taxes yet, Thursday could be a good day to do that as TurboTax will be that day’s boosted site via Capital One Shopping and Capital One Offers which will tack very nicely with card-linked offers like Amex Offers, Chase Offers, and Citi Offers.

IHG promo: Earn 3X points in 80+ countries (Book by 4/11/26, stay by 5/22/26)

Stephen Pepper — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 14:45:42 +0000

IHG has launched a flash promo which is awarding 3X points on stays in more than 80 countries worldwide. That means that it’s possible to earn up to 50X points on the stay when also accounting for bonus points earned from status and by paying with an IHG credit card.

The downside is that stays in the US aren’t eligible for this promotion, but if you’re traveling internationally by May 22, IHG will be worth a look.

The Deal

Earn 3X points in select countries worldwide when staying at IHG One Rewards properties.
Direct link to registration.

Key Terms

Registration required.
Book by April 11, 2026 for stays through May 22, 2026.
This offer is available for stays at IHG hotels in Albania, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Algeria, Angola, Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, Egypt, Fiji, French Polynesia, Ghana, Guam, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Korea, Republic Of, Kuwait, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Lebanon, Libya, Maldives, Mauritius, Mongolia, Morocco, New Zealand, Northern Mariana Islands, Oman, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Seychelles, Singapore, South Africa, Tajikistan, Tanzania, United Republic Of, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Vietnam, Zambia, Zimbabwe.
Room nights outside of the Promotion Period are not included, and room nights that are part of a stay that was completed prior to registration for the Promotion also are not included.
For purposes of this Promotion, a “Promotion Eligible Qualifying Stay” is defined as a minimum one (1) night stay at a participating hotel booked under a Qualifying Rate, with total spend exceeding US $30 (or local currency equivalent) for each night.
Stays booked using Rewards Nights or Points & Cash are not Promotion Eligible Qualifying Stays for purposes of this Promotion.
Bookings made through on-line travel agencies or other reservation sites such as booking.com or expedia.com also do not qualify under this Promotion.

Quick Thoughts

Earning triple points on stays is a very generous promotion, especially considering IHG isn’t doing that annoying thing where you only start earning triple points from your second stay.

Other than its Staybridge Suites and Candlewood Suites brands that award 5 points per dollar spent, all other IHG brands award 10 points per dollar spent on the base room rate. That means a 3X rate earns you 30X at most brands. On top of that, you can earn up to 10X points depending on your IHG One Rewards elite status level, as well as up to 10X points by paying for your stay with an IHG credit card. That makes for total earnings of up to 50X. Considering our Reasonable Redemption Value of IHG points is 0.61 cents per point, you could reasonably expect to get up to an effective 30.5% return, although it could be even higher than that if you cherry pick and maximize your award redemptions.

There are a few important features to be aware of with this promo. One is that you have a very limited amount of time to make your reservation: they have to be made by April 11 after you’ve registered for the promotion. It’s also only valid for stays through May 22 and only for stays in the countries listed in the terms above. That includes pretty much all of Europe, along with many other countries worldwide, but sadly not the US too.
