1. 2 Free Uber Rides (New Members Only)
Have you tried Uber yet?
If not, Frequent Miler reports new users can get 2 free rides (up to $15 each) through May 1, 2015. Just enter promotional code “LUCKY15” to get your credits.
Or if you only plan on taking 1 more ride, you can get a $20 credit towards your 1st ride using my link.
Taking a free ride with Uber is a great way to get home safely on St. Patrick’s Day!
Because Uber is considered travel, you get 2X Chase Ultimate Rewards points when you use your Chase Sapphire Preferred card.
Or you can get 2.1% back when you use your Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite Mastercard ($100 minimum travel redemption).
And paying with your eligible AMEX earns you 2X American Express Membership Rewards points per $1.
2. Remember to Link Your American Airlines & US Airways Accounts!
American Airlines and US Airways will be combining frequent flyer programs some time within the next 30 days. To ensure the transition goes smoothly you can link your accounts now!
Just log into your 1 of your accounts and you’ll be prompted to verify your information.
Some folks are waiting to see if a bonus will be offered, like there was during the Southwest and AirTran merger. But time is running out!

4. Save 30% on IHG Hotels in Mexico (Ends Soon!)
Travel With Grant writes that you can save 30% on IHG hotels in Mexico. This sale appears to be good on all IHG hotels in Mexico.
Book by March 16, 2015, for stays through June 15, 2015. You must be an IHG Rewards member staying at least 2 nights, but no more than 7 nights to get the discount.
IHG Flash Sale hotels typically sell out quickly! So if you find a hotel on sale that fits into your travel plans, don’t hesitate to book. That’s because you can usually cancel IHG hotels without penalty (but check the cancellation policy before you book!).
