We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Update: One or more card offers in this post are no longer available. Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers.

    1.   Starwood Points Bonus

    Link:   Buy Starwood Points

    Through May 31, 2018, you can earn a 35% bonus when you buy Starwood points!  Starwood points are good for amazing Starwood and Marriott hotel stays.

    Team Member Jasmin Recently Took Her Kids to the St. Regis Abu Dhabi, an Incredible 5-Star Hotel, for Just 12,000 Starwood Points per Night!

    But you can also transfer your points to fantastic airline partners, like Air Canada, American Airlines, Delta, and Japan Airlines.  So this could be a good way to buy airline miles at a discount!

    Plus, when you transfer Starwood points to airlines with a 1:1 transfer ratio in increments of 20,000, you’ll get a bonus 5,000 airline miles!

    2.   American Airlines Miles Bonus

    Link:   Buy American Airlines Miles

    You can buy American Airlines miles for less through April 28, 2018.  This promotion is a tiered bonus, so the more miles you buy, the more bonus miles you’ll get.  But you’ll have to buy at least 6,000 miles to trigger a bonus.

    You Can Fly in American Airlines Business Class Between the US and Northern South America for Just 30,000 American Airlines Miles One-Way

    Here are the bonuses you’ll get for buying miles:

    American Airlines seems to have released a good amount of available award seats on their routes again.  So you shouldn’t have an issue redeeming your miles.

    Even with this bonus, I do NOT recommend buying miles unless you have a specific award flight in mind.  Or if you want to try out Business Class at a discount.

    3.   United Airlines Miles Bonus

    Link:   Buy United Airlines Miles

    Through April 22, 2018, folks are being targeted for tiered bonuses when buying United Airlines miles.  Team member Joseph received a bonus of up to 80%.  Sign into your United Airlines account and let me know what your bonus is!

    If You Received the 80% Bonus, You Can Buy United Airlines Miles for as Little as ~2.09 Cents Each

    Again, if you don’t have a particular flight in mind, I do NOT recommend buying miles just to have them.  Discounts and bonuses come along often.  There will be another opportunity soon enough!

    4.   IHG Points

    Link:   Buy IHG Points

    Through May 31, 2018, you can earn up to an 80% bonus when you buy IHG points.  You’ll have to buy at least 5,000 IHG points to get any bonus at all.  Here’s what you’ll get:

    An 80% bonus means you can pay as little as 0.56 cents per point.  That’s a good deal, because you can get much more value per point for a hotel stay, depending on your location.

    And remember, you can always “buy” IHG points for ~0.6 points each by using this handy trick.  So if you don’t want to jump on this sale, you always have an option for buying IHG points for cheap.
