Atmos sale to London at 20k points: book by Sep 5 or lose it.

Atmos Rewards dropped its September Global Getaways with one-way economy awards starting at 20,000 points to London, La Paz, and Tokyo (from Honolulu). Tokyo from the US West Coast runs 27,500 points and has been scarce; London and Taipei have priced widely. The booking window closes September 5, 2026, and travel windows are mostly January 15 to March 8, 2027, except Tokyo which runs now through November 18, 2026. Canadian searches have returned the promotional pricing in past rounds, so Vancouver and Toronto departures are worth checking against US gateways like Seattle or New York.

the play

Log into Alaska Airlines, check 'Use points' and 'Flexible dates', and book your target route by September 5, 2026, prioritizing London or Tokyo from the West Coast or Honolulu if you have Atmos points already banked.

$500 BOA checking bonus: direct deposit math, no balance hold. Easy $500.00. ROI: 5.0% on $10k parked 90 days. No linger. No minimum balance after bonus? Check terms. Fee waiver via $250 direct deposit. Simple.

Bank of America's checking bonus offers $100-$500 for $2k-$10k in direct deposits within 90 days. No requirement to keep the money beyond the deposit period, making this a pure cash grab for those who can route $10k through a new account. The $500 tier on $10k works out to 5% annualized if you park the cash 90 days, but the real value is the hard-to-get credit card approval unlock: BOA normally denies cards if you have 3+ new accounts in 12 months, but with a deposit account that jumps to 7. The Advantage Plus account's $12 fee is waived with a $250+ direct deposit or $1,500 daily balance. Offer expires September 30, 2026.

the play

Open an Advantage Plus checking account by September 30, 2026, set up $10,000 in qualifying direct deposits (payroll, pension, or Social Security) within 90 days, and collect $500 with no further balance requirement.
