Discover's $50 Amazon Deal Could Save 40% on Select Purchases
Discover is running a targeted Amazon promotion offering up to $50 off (or $10 off $75, depending on your offer), which could knock 40% off a purchase. You need to activate the promotion online first, then use your Discover card and redeem at least 1 penny of cashback at checkout to trigger the discount. Products must be sold by Amazon, not third-party sellers, and the offer ends July 6th or when $200,000 in offers get claimed. If you're targeted for the 40% version, this is worth using.

Korean Air has economy fares from Washington Dulles to Chiang Mai for $976 roundtrip, valid for late October through early December travel on Monday through Thursday departures and returns. You'll route through Seoul and need to book at least 3 days in advance. This is solid pricing for northern Thailand, where Chiang Mai typically runs higher from the East Coast.

British Airways Avios Now Your Key to Cheap LATAM Awards
LATAM left Oneworld in 2020 but kept its partnership with British Airways, and with the Alaska tie-up now dead, Avios are your best option for booking their flights. British Airways prices LATAM awards by distance, starting at 9,500 Avios for flights under 650 miles, making short hops from Miami to the Caribbean or within South America genuinely cheap. The catch is that connections get priced per segment, so nonstops deliver the real value. Keep this in your back pocket if you've got Avios available.

The sale is valid for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday travel from late July through early November.
