Southwest is offering double points on flights through May 22, 2024. To earn double Rapid Rewards points, you must register then book by January 14, 2024.
The points you'll earn is determined by the base fare (excludes taxes) and fare type you book:
For example, a Wanna Get Away ticket with a $100 base fare would earn 1,200 Rapid Rewards points during this promo instead of the usual 600 points.
"As a Mastercard® holder you can enjoy 15% on savings on room stays in South East Asia, Korea, Japan, Micronesia, Australia, New Zealand, South Pacific Islands and 20% discount on dining at participating properties in South East Asia. Book and stay by 31 December 2024."
Points Wire Note:
Please note that it's 15% off the Best Flexible Rate. You may find that it a Member Rate is a better deal or you might prefer to book via IHG Luxury & Lifestyle to add perks such as free breakfast and a $100 property credit.
Danny the Deal Guru: "American Express has brought back two promotions to earn extra points for adding Employee Cards to your business accounts. These offers are not quite as good as the ones we used to see a couple of years ago, but they can still be valuable as you can earn up to 5X on all your spending."
You can earn 15,000 points when a new employee cardholder spends $4,000 within 6 months when you add a new employee card to the Amex Business Platinum, Amex Business Gold, and Amex Blue Business Plus.

Points Wire Note:
For each business card you have, you can add up to 5 new employees to earn the bonus. It's a lot to track but you could earn a ton of Amex Membership Rewards points. Don't forget, you can add Employee Business Expense Cards which don't have annual fees but still qualify for the bonus.
Southwest is running sale in which you can save 20-40% on both cash and award tickets if you book by January 11, 2024. Eligible travel dates: January 30 - May 22, 2024.

Points Wire Note:
Don't forget, if you currently have Southwest flights, you can rebook to get the cheaper rate.
