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.

  • Million Mile Secrets

    • 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.

    1.   Marriott MegaBonus

    With the new Marriott MegaBonus you’ll earn bonus points on qualifying stays from February 1, 2015, to April 30, 2015.

    Note: The above link will start working once the promotion begins.

    Log into your account and check your promotion page to find details about your targeted bonus.

    Earn More Points for Your Marriott Spring 2015 Stays When You Register for the Marriott MegaBonus
    Registration is December 17, 2014, through March 31, 2015. Note:  While the promotion page says you can register on December 17, 2014, the email says registration begins December 18, 2014.  So if you’re unable to register tomorrow, try again on Thursday.

    2.   TravelPony – Save $25 When You Spend $200

    Today only, you’ll save $25 when you spend $200 or more on North American hotels at TravelPony.  Just use promotional code “NA25” to get the discount.

    This deal ends December 16, 2014, today, at 11:59 pm Eastern Time.

    Code “NA25″ Is Good for Today Only!

    Or if you’re new to TravelPony, you can sign-up using my link and save $35 when you spend $200 or more.

    TravelPony often has good deals on hotel stays.  And sometimes you can save even more by booking through the TravelPony app.

    3.   Now Hold American Airlines Flights for Over 24 Hours

    American Airlines used to hold paid tickets up to 24 hours.

    Via The Forward Cabin, you can now hold American Airlines for up to 5 days.  However, this new feature will come with a small fee.  The exact cost will depend upon your destination and travel dates.

    You Can Now Pay to Hold Your American Airlines Paid Ticket for Longer Than 24 Hours

    Depending on the cost, this could be useful for folks who see a decent price, but still want time to see if a better deal comes along.

    4.   IHG to Aquire Kimpton Hotels

    Via View From the Wing, IHG has reached a deal to buy Kimpton hotels.

    The deal isn’t finished yet!  And as we’ve seen with the American Airlines and US Airways merger, these types of transitions take time.  So it could be a while before you see any real changes.

    I Hope IHG Adopts Kimpton’s Unique Advertising! #WhoDoesThat

    This could be good news for IHG hotel members because they will have more hotel options in more locations.  It will be interesting to see if we find some Kimpton Hotels on the IHG PointBreaks list in the future!
