There's an Amex Offer in which you can get $50 back when you spend $250+ on room rates and room chartes at one of IHG's "mainstream brands". This appears to be a targeted offer.
Eligible Brands
Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, EVEN Hotels, avid hotels, Atwell Suites, Garner Hotels

Award Wallet: "A new Avianca LifeMiles award sale is now live. The promotion offers a 20% discount on awards on selected routes. The promotion applies to certain routes from Miami and San Francisco to destinations in South America. It applies only to economy flights operated by Avianca and not any other Star Alliance partners, nor does it apply to premium cabins. The promotion is valid for bookings through March 16, 2024."
Frequent Flyer Bonuses: "Receive a $20 Best Western Bonus Card for every $100 Best Western Travel/Gift Card you purchase. The bonus card is awarded on purchases of up to 5 gift cards. Purchase cards by Mar 18, 24. Bonus cards expire on Aug 31, 24."
Etihad Guest might not have great award rates (and awful award cancellation fees), but they're running an impressive transfer bonus promo.
You can receive a bonus of up to 40% when you transfer points from select banks. Of the options, the only US bank option is Capital One. Please note that this transfer bonus is handled on the Etihad side and won't be reflected on Capital One's site.

Points Wire Note:
I would not recommend transferring Capital One Miles to Etihad Guest speculatively. The program has niche uses, the bonus miles might not post for a while, and the cancellation fees make it to risky.
One scenario in which a transfer could make sense is if you want to book Etihad first class (or The Apartments) or business class more than 30 days from departure. Etihad has restricted partner access to award space to within 30 days so, currently, Etihad Guest is your only option.

Danny the Deal Guru flagged that you earn a $75 Uber voucher when you sign up for a CLEAR Plus membership with the code promo code SAVETIME75.
If you pay for your CLEAR Plus membership with an Amex Platinum, Amex Business Platinum, Amex Green, or Hilton Aspire Amex, you can also receive a statement credit covering the $189 fee.
American Express has released another Amex Offer for Amazon purchases. You can earn 5 bonus Membership Rewards points per dollar on Amazon purchases through April 30, 2024. You can earn up to 2,000 bonus points with this offer. That means you'll earn +5 points on up to $400 spent at Amazon. Unfortunately, this is a targeted offer so only some accounts will have it.
Terms & Conditions
Frequent Miler: "Shopping portal Retailmenot is currently offering 20% back on Hotels.com. That matches a previous deal from Retailmenot for the best site-wide deal on Hotels.com that I can recall in years. The catch is that’s it is only up to a maximum of $50 back."
This deal ends March 10, 2024. However, Retailmenot could pull it early if enough people use it.
Disclosure: I serve on a Bilt advisory board and may earn a commission if you use the links below.
If you have a Bilt Platinum status, you can get Air France-KLM Flying Blue Gold status for 12 months with a simple status match starting February 29, 2024.
To activate the status match, you must transfer 10,000 Bilt Rewards points to Flying Blue. It can take up to three days for the match to process and for you to see your new Flying Blue Gold status.
Once active, your Gold status will be valid for 12 months. Since it's 12 months regardless of when you match, I would time this to line up with your travel plans on SkyTeam carriers. On international flights, you'll have SkyTeam lounges access regardless of what class of service you fly.
Even if you take advantage of this status match option, you will be eligible for future matches.
I must have missed this one when it was first released earlier this month, but you can earn 15,000 Amex Membership Rewards points if you spend $750+ at an Auberge Resorts Collection property in the US, Costa Rica, Europe, or Mexico.

I wasn't eligible for either, but I recently stayed at a Hilton property. My guess is they're targeting members who haven't stayed recently.
