Double points on Hyatt dining in APAC — no registration required.

World of Hyatt's 'ComforTable' promo runs August 1 to September 30 across Asia Pacific, earning double points on eligible restaurant spend up to 30,000 bonus points. No sign-up needed — accounts are auto-enrolled. A roughly $50 dinner at a Hyatt property netted 600 points, though taxes, service charges, and alcohol typically don't count. The yield beats what you'd earn on the room rate itself.

the play

Dine at a Hyatt restaurant in Asia Pacific before September 30, pay separately from your room, and watch the double points post instantly.

30% Hilton bonus: 1.3 cpp from MR, but only if you beat 0.5 cpp on the other end.

Amex MR to Hilton is at a 30% bonus through October 14, turning 1,000 MR into 2,600 Hilton points. At Hilton's frequent 0.5 cent per point sale price, that pegs 1 MR at 1.3 cents. The math works if you have a specific Hilton redemption that pushes above that 0.5 cpp floor -- otherwise, you are just buying points at a standard rate.

the play

Transfer Amex MR to Hilton by October 14 only if your target Hilton stay yields more than 0.5 cents per point in value.

Qatar Airways 25% off Avios: book by Sep 14 or pay full price.

The 25% discount on Qatar Airways award flights cuts the Avios cost on select routes to/from Doha, including Singapore, Bucharest, and Manila. For Business Class to Europe, the net savings are real, but the booking fee of about S$350 each way (two segments) eats into value. Economy to Europe suffers from S$226.60 in taxes one-way, making the discount marginal unless cash fares spike. The math favors Business or First on the eligible routes.

the play

Book a Business Class award on a featured route like Singapore to Europe before September 14, 2026, and factor the S$350-per-segment booking fee into your cost-per-Avios calculation.
