Bilt just announced its next Rent Day promo and it's a good one! You can transfer Bilt points and get up to 100% bonus based on your Bilt status level. Bilt Gold and Platinum members will also be able to status match to Alaska.

You can transfer up to 50,000 Bilt Rewards points and receive the bonus. If you transfer more than 50,000 Bilt points during the promo, you will only receive the bonus on 50,000 even if you do multiple transfers. The transfer bonus ends at 2:59am ET on July 2.

Miles4Migrants is running a promotion with Air Canada in which you can earn 7,500 Aeroplan points for every $100 you donate up to 75,000 points. That means you're paying 1.33 cents per point. Not the best we've seen from Air Canada, but not bad. Plus, you get to support a good cause.
They've set a fundraising goal of $250,000 which I expect they'll hit pretty quickly. So, if you want to support Miles4Migrants and earn some Aeroplan points, I would do this sooner rather than later. The campaign ends December 31, 2024 unless they raise $250,000 before that.
Your Aeroplan points can take up to 8 weeks to post.
You can donate more if you'd like, but you can only earn a max of 75,000 points. Of course, you could get friends and family to donate as well.
The Sonesta World Mastercard is issued by Bank of America. While it's not a top priority card, it's always a good idea to keep an eye on niche cards that could come in handy as your progress in your points journey. As the bonus has been increased recently, let's take a look at it.
Welcome Bonus
Basically, you can earn 155,000 points for spending $7,500 and adding an authorized user.
