Capital One Shopping: $100 back on $100 hotel spend. Stack it.

Capital One Shopping is offering targeted users a $100 bonus on $100 or more in hotel or vacation rental spending, plus a separate $100 back on $100+ in car rental bookings. These Home Page Bonuses are better than the portal's usual rates and open to anyone, no Capital One card required. But each bonus type is limited to one per account, and clicking an offer may lock it in or make it vanish, so wait until you're ready to book. Other reported targets include $50 back on $100+ at Staples, $30 back on $50+ at Macy's, and $100 back on $330+ at Virgin Atlantic.

the play

Check your Capital One Shopping account for these Home Page Bonuses, then book a hotel or car rental of at least $100 to trigger the $100 rebate before the offer expires.

Don't book on TopCashback's 16% Klook rate until you read the fine print.

TopCashback has boosted rates across IHG, Radisson, Viator, GetYourGuide, Klook, Expedia and more, but the 'up to' qualifiers change the deal. Viator's 15% is only for new customers, while existing customers earn 10%. Expedia's 10% applies only to new customers booking activities, with existing customers seeing 5%-8% for other travel. IHG's 12% is limited to Iberostar, though all IHG brands earn 10%. No expiry is listed, so compare rates on Cashback Monitor or Savewise before committing.

Check the 'up to' terms on each rate, then compare on Cashback Monitor before booking.

4x Southwest points on Avis or Budget: $31 value, one rental.

Southwest Rapid Rewards members can earn 2,400 points on a qualifying Avis or Budget rental now through November 15, 2026, quadrupling the standard 600. At 1.3 cents per point, that's roughly $31 toward flights, and the flat payout means a cheap weekend rental yields the same as a weeklong one. A potential surcharge of up to $1 per day and the need to attach your Rapid Rewards number to the reservation are the only catches; bonus points won't count toward status or Companion Pass.

the play

Book one qualifying Avis or Budget rental before November 15, attach your Southwest Rapid Rewards number, and earn 2,400 points regardless of rental cost.
