Santa Monica airlift: $49 companion fares booked by Sept 1.

JSX is running a two-day promo on companion fares from Santa Monica Airport to Las Vegas, Napa, Scottsdale, and Oakland. Book August 31 or September 1 with code FLYSMO for travel through October 31. The first passenger pays the regular fare (e.g., $149), and the second flies for $49, making a round trip for two as low as $198 plus taxes. Flights use 30-seat ATR 42-600 turboprops with no middle seats, free Starlink internet, two checked bags, and snacks and drinks — essentially a first class product.

15X at Hotels.com via Capital One Shopping: good deal, fine print matters

Capital One Shopping and Capital One Offers are running a daily deal for Hotels.com purchases up to 15X back, but the multipliers vary — Stephen sees 14% on Shopping and 10X on Offers, while others see 15X on both. The 15X is on completed hotel stays, with car rentals earning 3X. Payouts take up to 45 days and require booking within 24 hours of clicking through, and the cashback is only redeemable for gift cards. Using non-Capital One cards with Offers may fail to trigger, so Shopping is the safer bet for those without a Capital One card.

the play

Check Capital One Shopping's home page for the offer of the day, and if you don't see 15X, test the link anyway, then book within 24 hours using a Capital One card for the Offers layer or rely on Shopping alone.
