The Points Tool You've Always Wanted

Chase and United are targeting some cardholders with bonus spending offers running from June through August. The offers vary significantly by account. We've seen offers including 1,000 bonus miles for spending $500 per month, plus an additional 1,500 miles for meeting the requirement all three months; 1,500 bonus miles for making 10 purchases and spending $1,500 per month; and 4,000 bonus miles (plus 450 PQP in some cases) for meeting higher spending thresholds. Check your United app or this link to see if you've been targeted.

Update (June 2026): IHG has added additional properties and introduced a new November 30, 2026 booking/travel deadline for select hotels. The promotion otherwise remains unchanged.

IHG is offering 15% off award stays at select new and recently updated properties. Booking and travel deadlines vary by property, with current cutoffs of August 31, September 30, and October 31, 2026. Notable options include new all-inclusive Holiday Inn Club Vacations in Mexico, Kimpton Era Midtown New York, several new London properties, and a beachfront voco in Nha Trang, Vietnam. You can view the full list of eligible properties here. If you hold an IHG free night certificate, this discount could bring some properties below the 40,000-point cap, making them eligible for redemption.

Rakuten is offering a $90 bonus (or 9,000 Bilt points if you've selected Bilt as your earning preference) when applying for the Chase Freedom Unlimited as a new Chase customer. This stacks with the card's current welcome offer of 20,000 Ultimate Rewards points, creating a solid overall package for a no-annual-fee card. The Freedom Unlimited pairs especially well with a Sapphire card, allowing you to combine rewards and transfer points to Chase's travel partners. If you have Rakuten set to earn Amex Membership Rewards, you will not see this offer. Your Rakuten account must be set to earn cash back or Bilt points.

United is offering a 25% bonus when transferring hotel points to MileagePlus through June 30, 2026. We generally don't recommend transferring between hotel and airline programs because of poor transfer ratios, but Marriott transfers can be interesting thanks to its partnership with United. Transfer 60,000 Marriott points and you'll receive 35,000 United miles after Marriott's standard 10,000-mile bonus and United's 25% transfer bonus. You must register for the promotion before transferring, and bonus miles may not post until January 2027, so this is best suited for travelers who don't need the miles immediately.
