The Points Tool You've Always Wanted

Hilton Honors Amex cardholders can earn 10,000 bonus points after completing a paid stay of at least three consecutive nights. You must first register before booking, make the reservation before November 9, 2026, and then complete the stay by January 3, 2027. You must also pay for the entire stay with a Hilton Honors Amex card. Award stays do not qualify. The 10,000-point bonus can be earned once and stacks with Hilton's current global promotion offering 1,000 or 3,000 bonus points per stay, along with your normal base, elite status, and credit card earnings. If you have an eligible three-night Hilton stay planned, make sure you register before booking.

Check your Amex Offers, as there is a targeted JetBlue offer that gives you $60 back after spending $300 or more in one or more qualifying purchases. That equals 20% back when spending exactly $300. The offer is valid on purchases made directly with JetBlue through December 14, 2026, and includes flights and JetBlue Vacations. Flights must originate in the U.S., and you can travel after December 14 as long as you pay for the booking by that date. Several additional charges can count toward the $300 requirement, including baggage, pets, taxes, and cancellation and change fees. If you're planning to book JetBlue travel, check your Amex Offers before paying. Remember that the $300 spending requirement can be spread across multiple purchases as long as they're made by December 14.

Amex is targeting certain cardholders with an offer to get $100 back after spending $500 or more at select Wyndham Hotels & Resorts luxury properties. The offer expires October 27, 2026, and eligible spending can be made across one or more qualifying purchases. Reservations must be booked directly through Wyndham, and only participating properties qualify. The offer applies to room rate and room charges, but excludes timeshares and gift cards. Because the stay must be paid for by October 27, this is best suited for travel happening before the offer expires rather than a future stay booked now and paid later.

Southwest is surprising some Rapid Rewards members with 5,000 bonus points deposited directly into their accounts. You don't need to do anything. Really. You'll get an email if you were targeted, but the points should simply show up. Some members received the bonus last week, while others are seeing it now. If you have a Southwest account, it’s worth checking your email and Rapid Rewards balance to see if you got the unexpected 5,000-point bonus.
