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.   Earn Up to 8,000 Bonus Points After 2 Choice Hotel Stays

    Via Frequent Flyer Bonuses, you can earn 5,000 to 8,000 bonus Choice points (depending on the number of base points you earn) when you complete 2 trips at any Choice Hotel.

    To earn the bonus points, you must register, book at a qualifying rate, and check-in by August 19, 2015.  Also, set your earning preference to hotel points.

    There are different booking requirements based on your status with Choice hotels.  Corporate travelers can book through a travel agent or corporate online booking system.

    There is NO limit to the number of bonus Choice points you can earn.

    You Can Earn Up to 8,000 Bonus Points for 2 Choice Hotel Stays. That’s Enough for a $50 Gift Card From Certain Retailers. But You Can Redeem the Points Any Way You Like!

    This deal is open to folks who have an address in the US or Canada.

    Choice defines trips as:

    1+ consecutive nights at Comfort Inn, Comfort Suites, Quality, Sleep Inn, Clarion, Cambria hotels & suites or Ascend Hotel Collection hotels ‘Trip’ = 2+ consecutive nights at Econo Lodge, Rodeway Inn®, Suburban Extended Stay Hotel, or MainStay Suites hotels

    NOTE: Consecutive nights at 1 hotel only count as 1 trip, regardless of check-ins or check-outs.

    So a trip at some hotels means 1 or more consecutive nights and at others it means 2 or more consecutive nights.

    This is a good deal for folks who already have plans to stay at Choice Hotels.

    8,000 Choice Hotel points is enough for a $50 gift card through October 31, 2015, for places such as:

    But you’ll usually get better value using the points for award nights.  You can book award nights at Choice hotels for as low as 6,000 points. 

    I prefer to transfer Choice Hotel points to Southwest because it’s an easy way to earn extra points towards the Southwest Companion Pass.  6,000 Choice Hotel points will give you 1,800 Southwest points.

    2.   3,000 Wyndham Points for 1 Stay

    Deals We Like reports you can earn 3,000 Wyndham bonus points with your 1st qualified stay at Wyndham hotels by September 14, 2015.

    You must register by September 7, 2015.

    Your total room rate for your stay should be at least $25 to qualify.  And you will NOT earn the bonus points if your preferences are set to airline miles or rail points.

    Super 8 hotels in China are NOT participating.

    Earn 3,000 Bonus Points With Your 1st Stay at Wyndham Hotels

    You can now book ANY Wyndham hotel for 15,000 points!  So the 3,000 points you’ll earn with this promotion is 20% of the way towards a free night at expensive hotels like the Wyndham Koloa Landing at Poipu Beach Wyndham Grand Resort in Kauai.

    Or you can use 3,000 Wyndham points plus cash.  For example, the Days Inn Miami Beach-Oceanside costs 3,000 points plus $75 per night.

    The Days Inn Miami Beach-Oceanside Can Cost ~$250 per Night. So This Is a Good Deal If You Book Your Stay During Peak Travel Times

    You can also earn 3 free nights when you sign-up for the Barclays Wyndham card and complete the minimum spending.

    3.   4X Points or 4,000 Bonus Points With Chase Southwest Card (Targeted)

    Deals We Like also writes that Chase is sending special offers to Chase Southwest cardholders.

    These deals are targeted.  You can only register for 1 offer per cardholder.  Sign-up and complete your spending by July 15, 2015, at 11:59 pm Eastern Time.

    The best deal for you depends on your spending habits.  So do the math to see what works for you!

    The bonus points you’ll earn with these offers should count towards the Southwest Companion Pass.  It’s the best deal for domestic flights!

    With the Southwest Companion Pass a Friend or Family Member Flies With You for Free up to 2 years!

    4.   AMEX Offers – $5 iTunes Credit (Targeted)

    Via Travel With Grant, you can earn a $5 statement credit when you spend $5 or more at iTunes through August 31, 2015.  But enrollment is limited.

    These offers are targeted, so check your American Express account.  If you’re new to AMEX Offers, see my post for tips on how to register.

    You Can Save $5 When You Spend $5 or More on Movies, Music, iBooks, and Apps at iTunes!

    iTunes gift cards are NOT eligible.  And if you don’t receive your order until after August 31, 2015, you may not get the statement credit.

    I don’t have this deal in my AMEX account.  But I hope you do!

    You should be able save $5 with each AMEX card.
