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.

Allegiant 7 new Florida routes: 5 are monopoly plays.

Allegiant Air announced seven new routes from East Coast cities to Florida, five of which have no direct nonstop competition. Only CVG-Orlando faces Delta, Frontier, and Southwest, while PVD-FLL sees JetBlue and Southwest. As a ULCC, Allegiant's base fares are already low, and the monopoly routes could see even cheaper introductory pricing. Starting dates are unconfirmed, but the network expansion positions Allegiant to undercut legacy carriers. The airline also plans to add Allegiant First premium seats next spring.

the play

Set fare alerts on the five monopoly routes—Boston to Punta Gorda, Sanford, St. Petersburg, Portsmouth to Fort Lauderdale, and Providence to Sanford—and book early to lock in low base fares before any competitor response.
