Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here’s our full advertising policy: How we make money.
Update: One or more card offers in this post are no longer available. Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers.1. Free Economy Plus Subscription on United Airlines (Targeted)
Via Reddit, some folks received an e-mail from United Airlines offering a complimentary Economy Plus subscription through January 31, 2017. You’ll get a bigger Economy Plus seat near the front of the plane whenever there’s one available.
This subscription is usually $499 per year. So check your junk folder just in case!
The targeted e-mail seems random with some people mentioning they have not flown United Airlines in a long time and others saying they recently got the Chase United MileagePlus® Explorer Card.
If you did receive the e-mail, it looks like you can use the subscription to change your seats on any upcoming United Airlines flights you have booked for no charge.
2. Sign-Up for Hilton Gold Status With No Requirements
View From the Wing reports you can get Hilton Gold status through August 31, 2016, just for signing-up. To keep Gold status for a year, you’ll need to stay 4 times between now and August 31, 2016.Gold status gives you 25% bonus points for stays, room upgrades, and complimentary breakfast.
The promotion is targeted to a specific employer, but Hilton does not seem to be verifying.
