From bonus points on your next hotel stay to generous sales of airline miles, we’re always looking for travel deals that help you earn more points and miles and redeem them for maximum value. In other words, we want to help you book the vacation of your dreams.
This week, we found a Hyatt sale for up to 25% off at participating properties in New York City. Additionally, Rakuten, one of our favorite online shopping portals, is offering up to 20% cash back at popular brands during Big Give Week. There’s also a great welcome offer on one of our favorite travel cards, the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (see rates and fees): Earn 100,000 Ultimate Rewards points after spending $5,000 on purchases within the first three months from account opening. That’s worth $2,050 based on our May 2025 valuations.
We help our readers each week by rounding up ongoing promotions so they don’t have to scour the internet for the best reward redemptions and offers. This includes everything from frequent flyer programs and hotel rewards programs to credit card offers and rental car deals. Here’s our latest list of noteworthy new points and miles promotions for May.
