1. Newark to London in Business Class for ~$1,000 Round-Trip
Via One Mile at a Time, a new Business Class only airline, La Compagnie, is offering tickets from Newark to London for just ~$1,000 round-trip!
Book by April 24, 2015, for travel between April 24, 2015, and June 30, 2015.
Round-trip Business Class seats from Newark to London typically cost ~$2,000 to ~$4,000. So this is an excellent deal for folks who had plans to pay for a Business Class flight to London.
However, I still prefer to use miles!
2. 10 Free Lyft Rides in 6 Major US Cities

4. Free Southwest A-List Status (Targeted)
Some folks are receiving offers for free Southwest A-List status via email. Registration only takes a minute.
And if you take 3 round-trip or six 1-way flights on Southwest by April 18, 2015, you can extend your A-List status through December 31, 2015.
With Southwest A-List status you get:
- 25% bonus on miles
- Priority boarding
- Priority check-in and security lanes where available
But my favorite Southwest status is the Companion Pass because a friend can fly with you for (almost) free for up to 2 years!
5. 30% Bonus When You Buy Hyatt Points (Targeted)
Have you purchased Hyatt points? If not, you may get an email from Hyatt offering a 30% point bonus on your 1st purchase. You must buy the Hyatt points by February 15, 2015 (next Sunday), to get the bonus.
Buying Hyatt points with this bonus may save you some money on the regular price of a Hyatt hotel (depending on where you stay).
Keep in mind, you will NOT earn bonus points for buying Hyatt points with cards like the Barclaycard Arrival, Chase Sapphire Preferred, and Chase Hyatt.
That’s because these purchases go through Points.com not Hyatt. Also there are plenty of other ways to earn Hyatt points for less.
