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.

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.

Atmos sale to London at 20k points: book by Sep 5 or lose it.

Atmos Rewards dropped its September Global Getaways with one-way economy awards starting at 20,000 points to London, La Paz, and Tokyo (from Honolulu). Tokyo from the US West Coast runs 27,500 points and has been scarce; London and Taipei have priced widely. The booking window closes September 5, 2026, and travel windows are mostly January 15 to March 8, 2027, except Tokyo which runs now through November 18, 2026. Canadian searches have returned the promotional pricing in past rounds, so Vancouver and Toronto departures are worth checking against US gateways like Seattle or New York.

the play

Log into Alaska Airlines, check 'Use points' and 'Flexible dates', and book your target route by September 5, 2026, prioritizing London or Tokyo from the West Coast or Honolulu if you have Atmos points already banked.
