God Save The Points: "As you may have guessed it, home for Air Tahiti Nui is…Tahiti, but the airline flies from both Seattle and Los Angeles in the US. The airline flies between Paris and LA, between Seattle, LA and Tahiti, and onward to Tokyo or New Zealand via Tahiti.
This year, they’re offering you the chance to take four separate trips for a grand total of $1500 round trip by purchasing a limited ‘Tiare Pass’."
The Tiare Pass provides 4 round-trip flights. It will be available from 9-10am PST on November 25, 2023. Only 250 passes are available. You must use all 4 round-trip tickets by the end of 2024.
Eye of the Flyer: "eGifter is running a promotion offering shoppers a $25 American Express virtual rewards card when they purchase a $250 Delta Air Lines eGift card.
If you use the $25 Amex eGift card, you will essentially save 10% on future Delta airfare purchases.
Use promo code DELTA1123 at checkout. (In my eGifter experiences, the code is automatically applied — but it’s good you double check.)"
Link to offer.
Points Wire Note: Easy way to get ~10% back on upcoming Delta flights. When I use gift cards to pay for flights, I always leave a dollar to pay with my Chase Sapphire Reserve so I get trip delay and bag delay coverage. This also works with the Sapphire Preferred and Ink Preferred.
One Mile At A Time: "Recently I wrote about how several readers had gotten in touch to point out that the British Airways AARP discount had been pulled."
"Fortunately that has finally changed. This webpage is now back, and you can follow the link there to be taken to the AARP website, which will then redirect you to the British Airways website and apply the discount."
Points Wire Note: An AARP membership is only $12 per year. You can go through the cash back portal Top Cashback (my referral) to sign up and get $12.12 cash back.
"Get 50% back as a statement credit by using your enrolled eligible Card to make purchases on the Uber or Uber Eats app by 12/31/2023. Limit of $25 back in total statement credits."

Accor: Accor is offering a 50% transfer bonus from Citi ThankYou Points. That makes the usual 1,000:500 ratio, 1,000:750.
For context, Accor doesn't have a traditional award stays. Instead, you redeem as many points as you want toward the cash value of a room or suite. With the transfer bonus, every 1,000 Citi points you transfer will provide ~$16 toward a room. That's ~1.5 cents per point.
Points Wire Note: If you have plenty of points and miles for flights, this is a solid way to use transferable points for a hotel stay. If points are tight, you'll want to consider whether you'd be better off using Citi points for a flight.
