| 🔥 FIRE | | Marriott's 20% Weekend Sale Covers 2,000 Properties Through August 23 | | Marriott is running a members-only weekend sale with up to 20% off nearly 2,000 properties, with bookings closing August 2 and travel dates from August 3 through August 23 (weekends only, though resort stays work any day of the week). Use promo code QRI, and if you're not a Bonvoy member yet, join free before booking to get the full discount. Rates are prepaid and nonrefundable, but participating properties include Westin, Sheraton, W, and some all-inclusives. | | source → |
| ✅ SOLID | | SWISS Business Class to Switzerland: 60,000 Aeroplan Points East Coast | | You can fly lie-flat business class to Zurich or Geneva on SWISS for 60,000 Air Canada Aeroplan points each way from the East Coast, with wide-open award availability through the end of the year (70,000 points from the West Coast, with taxes around $57 per person from New York). Some flights show 9 business class award seats available on the same date, so groups can actually travel together. Book through Aeroplan unless you enjoy paying more points for the same seat. | | source → |
| ✅ SOLID | | Chase Hyatt Offers Stack Up to 15% Cash Back on Prepaid Stays | | Chase is running targeted offers for Hyatt bookings: 7% back at Hyatt Place on transactions over $100 through September 30, $100 back per stay when you spend $1,000 or more at Hyatt Inclusive Collection resorts by August 31 (capping at $200 total), and 15% back on prepaid stays of $450 or more at Under Canvas. These are targeted, require direct Hyatt bookings, and only work if you add the offer to your card first, so check your Chase account before planning around it. | | source → |
| ✅ SOLID | | Capital One Spark Cash: $1,000 Bonus Plus $250 Travel Credit | | The Capital One Spark Cash is offering new cardholders $1,000 cash back plus a $250 Capital One Business Travel credit after spending $10,000 within 3 months. The card earns unlimited 2% cash back on every purchase with no cap, and the annual fee is waived the first year, then $95. This is a strong return if you already have $10,000 in near-term business spend, but it's just an expensive way to chase a bonus if you don't. | | source → |
| 🔥 FIRE | | Hilton Certificates Now Book 2-Bedroom Beachfront Villas in Nevis | | Hilton has added more than a dozen Small Luxury Hotels of the World properties that are now bookable with free night certificates, including Paradise Beach Nevis where the standard room type is a 2-bedroom beachfront villa with a full kitchen and plunge pool that sleeps up to 4 people. This is a rare case where a certificate gets you something closer to a small house than a hotel room, though the property only has 10 villas total, so availability will be tight. If you have certificates sitting around and can find open dates, this is one of the better redemptions available. | | source → |
| 🔥 STEAL OF THE DAY | | Turkish Airlines is offering a 100% bonus on gifted miles through August 7, but the bonus goes to you, not the recipient—a rare structure if you have someone willing to receive miles and you want to stockpile MilesSmiles points cheaply. You need another person to gift to, which limits solo buyers, and Turkish award space can be scarce depending on route. If you have a recipient and a redemption target, this runs through August 7. | | source → |

| 💳 CARD OF THE DAY | | Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card. The all-time best welcome offer of 100,000 points ends today at 3 p.m. Eastern time. You need to spend $5,000 within 3 months to earn it, and the bonus posts 1 to 2 billing cycles after you hit that threshold. | | Apply here → (referral link) |
