Points Wire Note:

Accor properties aren't usually top of mind for people in the points community. However, if you're paying cash, there are some great options. Specifically, you can book Fairmont, Raffles, and Sofitel properties via Accor's STEP program to get benefits such as daily breakfast for 2, a $100 property credit, a room upgrade, and more.

Chase Offer: Save 10% On Marriott Stays

With the Chase Offer for Marriott Bonvoy, you can get 10% cash back when you spend at least $100 at Marriott properties up to $80 back. That means you can get 10% back on up to $800. I love that this offer can be used globally rather than only in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

This Chase Offer expires on March 11, 2024 and appears to be targeted.

You should be able to stack this with a Marriott STARS or Marriott Luminous booking so you can get extra perks and save a little bit.

More info on booking via Marriott STARS and Luminous.

Amex Offer: Earn 25,000 Points On ANA Flights

Amex has released a targeted Amex Offer in which you can earn 25,000 Membership Rewards points if you spend $1,000+ with All Nippon Airways (ANA). To take advantage fo the offer, you must make the purchase by March 10, 2024. However, you can travel after this date.

Important Terms

• Offer valid for purchases made directly with All Nippon Airways through U.S. website fly-ana.com, All Nippon Airways U.S. App, and U.S. reservation telephone line: 1-800-235-9262
• Flights must originate in the U.S., including U.S. territories
• Valid only on purchases made in US dollars
• Offer valid only for purchases where All Nippon Airways is the merchant of record, such as airfare, fare upgrades, seat selection fees and baggage fees. Excludes the following: (i) in-flight purchases of WiFi, entertainment, or phone service, (ii) standalone hotel bookings and car rentals, (iii) purchases through third parties or affiliated agents, (iv) code share flights or ANA flights operated by partner airlines, (v) duty free shopping and orders, (vi) travel insurance/trip protection, Mobile Rental Service, and Bid My Price
  

Points Wire Note:

ANA rarely has great fare deals out of the US, so I imagine this will be tough for many people to leverage. However, if you book two business or first class award tickets with ANA Mileage Club miles, you might hit the $1,000 in taxes/fees because of the carrier-imposed surcharges. Award tickets aren't explicitly excluded, so this might trigger the offer.
