| ✅ SOLID | | Westin's First All-Inclusive Arrives in Mexico—Book With Points | | Marriott launched Westin's first all-inclusive resort at Playa Vallarta, bookable with Bonvoy points. Award rates are steep, but cash prices are reasonable when factoring in all meals and drinks. This is Marriott's latest push into the all-inclusive space to grab market share from Hyatt's Inclusive Collection, making it worth checking if you're planning Mexico travel. | | source → |
| 🔥 FIRE | | Best Western: Earn Up to 20K Bonus Points, Book by May 10 | | Best Western is running a promotion offering 5,000 bonus points per every two nights at US, Canada, and Caribbean properties, with up to 20,000 bonus points available total if you book by May 10th. The math works if you were already planning multiple stays, but Best Western points don't typically offer outsized redemption value. | | source → |
| 🦨 STINKER | | Amex Canada Dropping Etihad Guest Transfer Partner in June | | Canadian Amex Membership Rewards is dropping Etihad Guest as a transfer partner on June 20, 2026. While Etihad had niche value for Middle East routing and Star Alliance redemptions, Canadian cardholders sitting on points earmarked for Etihad transfers have plenty of time to find alternatives. | | source → |
| 🔥 FIRE | | Qatar Airways Qsuite Now 70K Avios One-Way—If You Can Book It | | Qatar Airways dropped Qsuite award availability to 70,000 Avios one-way, which is genuinely newsworthy given it's arguably the world's best business class product. Award availability remains sparse, but if you're flexible and persistent, this represents solid value worth hunting for. | | source → |
| 🔥 STEAL OF THE DAY | | Spend-and-get offer: Check your Target Circle for $20 back in Target Rewards when you spend $200 by May 16, 2026 (some accounts see $15 back on $150 instead). Activate whichever version you have if you're planning Target runs anyway. | | source → |

| 💳 CARD OF THE DAY | | Chase Sapphire Reserve offers up to $359 in savings on WHOOP fitness trackers through May 12. This partnership deal makes the premium annual fee more palatable if you've been considering wearable fitness tech. | | Apply here → (referral link) |
