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.

IHG Points & Cash: 15% off cash portion equals 0.51c/point, book by Aug 24.

IHG's targeted Points & Cash sale knocks 15% off the cash portion, effectively pricing purchased points at 0.51 US cents each — among the lowest we've seen. Remember, IHG doesn't offer true Points & Cash; they sell you points at booking that you then redeem as a full award. Cancel the stay and those purchased points return to your account, but the cash is gone. This is a decent way to top off your IHG balance if you've hit the annual purchase limit, with bookings due by August 24 for stays through September 7, 2026.

the play

Book a Points & Cash stay by August 24 if you need IHG points at 0.51¢ each or have a specific redemption in mind, but only if you're certain of the dates since the cash portion is non-refundable.
