Hyatt is running a 20% off sale at select properties in Asia. Here are the details:
This offer is not combinable with Hyatt Privé rates, but it's weighing the 20% discount against the Privé perks before booking. If the booking the cheapest rate is the priority, the 20% off promo might be your best option. However, Hyatt Privé does have 3rd, 4th, and 5th night free promos which could impact your decision.
US Travel's Daily Getaways promotion hasn't been particularly exciting this year. However, I wanted to flag a deal that goes live at 1:00PM ET today (April 23, 2024) that's worth considering.
You can get a 20% discount on three denominations of Marriott Bonvoy gift cards. The options include:
Please note that these tend to go quickly. I would suggest opening multiple browser windows for each denomination and seeing what you can get.
Of course, if you're unlikely to stay at a Marriott soon, you can just ignore this promo.

Amex is running a targeted Amex Offer in which you can get $50 back as a statement credit when you spend $200+ with Frontier Airlines.
Important Details
You can transfer Citi ThankYou Points to Accor Live Limitless with a 50% bonus by 11:59pm ET on May 11, 2024. The standard Citi transfer rate to Accor is 2:1 with a minimum transfer of 1,000 points - 1,000 Citi points = 500 Accor points. With the 50% transfer bonus, 1,000 Citi points will get you 750 Accor points.
Since Accor Live Limitless is a revenue-based program, points have a set value of €0.02 (~$0.213) with a minimum redemption of 2,000 Accor points. You can apply Accor points to a cash booking at an Accor property.
Amex has released another targeted Amex Offer for a couple of Hyatt brands. You can get $200 back as a statement credit if you spend $750+ at Secrets Resorts & Impression By Secrets Resorts. Please note only select properties are eligibile.

Frequent Miler: "Chase’s best-ever bonus for opening a new checking and savings account is back again. Until 7/24/24, you can earn $900 when you open a new Chase Total Checking Account and a new Chase Savings account. In order to get the bonus, you have to set up a direct deposit to the checking account and deposit a total of $15,000 into the savings account within 30 days, then maintain the balance for an additional 60 days."
Points Wire Note:
Earning checking and savings account bonuses can be a easy way to build a travel fund to help offset the cost of luxury hotel stays and other fun activities.
Upgraded Points: "To qualify for the bonus miles, log into your AAdvantage Dining account, find a restaurant that accepts OpenTable reservations, book the reservation, show up for your reservation and enjoy your meal, and then pay with your linked credit card to earn up to 5 AAdvantage miles per dollar spent and the 150 AAdvantage bonus miles."
You can earn a bonus once per day and up to eight times per month.
Qatar Airways is running a promo in which you can earn up to 25,000 Avios when you book a round-trip award ticket from the UK. The key to earning 25,000 Avios is booking business class as an economy ticket will only earn 10,000 Avios.
A wrinkle to this promo is that your Qatar Airways Privilege Club must list the UK as your address to be eligible to register.
If you join Qatar Airways Privilege Club today, you'll need to wait 24 hours to register for the promo.
Qatar Airways states that "Your Avios will be automatically credited to your Privilege Club account, within 30 days after the award flight has been completed."

Points Wire Note:
Keep in mind that premium cabin award tickets out of the UK will include the steep Air Passenger Duty (APD) fee which will male the taxes/fees a bit steep. Still, this is a fun promo and I'd love to see more airline programs do stuff like this!
Delta and Hilton have teamed up to offer bonus SkyMiles on Hilton stays. You can earn 1,000 SkyMiles per Hilton stay on up to three stays by July 7, 2024. You must register for the promo before booking as stays booked prior to registration are not eligible. You must book through Hilton's site or the Hilton Honors app.
Points Wire Note:
You might as well register just in case you need a stay at a Hilton property, but I wouldn't go out of my way to book because of this as 1,000 SkyMiles is worth about $10.
If you have an Amex Offer or Chase Offer for a Hilton stay, this should stack with that.
Amex is out with a targeted Amex Offer for Grand Hyatt properties globally. You can get a $50 statement credit when you spend $250+ at Grand Hyatt properties around the world.
