Miles & Points: The Week’s Best Frequent Flyer Deals

Following is our regular summary of the best frequent traveler promotions reviewed during the past week.

If it was a good deal—or a notably bad deal—from an airline, hotel, or car-rental loyalty program, you can read all about it here, and plan your travel accordingly.

Book Asia Award Flights for 40% Fewer American Miles

Through May 31, AAdvantage members can book round-trip coach-class award tickets to Asia on American or Japan Airlines for 40,000 miles.

Better deals than this are few and far between.

Fast Track to Elite Perks with La Quinta Hotels

Instead of the 10 nights normally required, new La Quinta Returns members will be awarded Gold status after completing two qualifying nights within 60 days of joining.

As hurdles go, two nights within 60 days is pretty low. But that doesn’t make this promotion a clear winner.

More Bonuses for British Airways Executive Club Members

Between April 20 and June 20, Executive Club members will receive a 25 percent bonus when converting points from participating hotel programs into British Airways miles.

Get a $50 Rebate from InterContinental Hotels

Between April 16 and August 2, travelers will receive a $50 MasterCard rebate card for two-night weekday stays at InterContinental family hotels.

Earn Virgin Atlantic Bonus Miles Through June 15

Members of Virgin Atlantic’s Flying Club program can earn mileage bonuses for all eligible Virgin Atlantic flights completed between April 13 and June 15.

Win One Million US Airways Miles, Plus a VIP Disney Vacation

Enter US Airways’ Million Miles Sweepstakes by June 4 for a chance to win the grand prize: one million Dividend Miles miles and a VIP Disney Vacation.

Somebody has to win, right? Might as well be you.
