Last updated: November 8, 2026. I update this page as offers appear and expire.

This page tracks the points and miles promotions currently being offered, and covers both discounts and bonuses on purchasing airline and hotel points and miles. Generally, buying points makes the most sense in specific situations: topping off for a redemption you’ve already found, when buying the points costs less than the cash price of the trip, or when a strong program goes on sale at a great price.

A quick introduction

A few things to note before you look at the active promotions below. First, purchased points don’t count toward elite status, and many of these sales are targeted, so confirm your own offer on the purchase page before paying. Furthermore, many of these transactions are handled through points.com, meaning that credit cards that would normally earn multiple points per dollar on travel will only earn 1x when buying points.

Secondly, here’s how I judge the value of a promotion: for airlines (and Hyatt), below 1.2¢ per point tends to be a great deal. However, 1.2–1.4¢ per point is only for topping off a redemption already found and planned, and above 1.4¢ per point isn’t worthwhile. For hotels other than Hyatt, 0.5¢ per point is the baseline — above that isn’t worth it. Price isn’t everything, though: not every program is worth buying even at a good price, so the table includes my recommendation for each one.

However, understanding the value of your points and what you could redeem them for is a big part of how good of an opportunity these promotions actually are, so I encourage you to figure our your own valuations as well. Read my educational post on those topics to help you gain a better understanding.

Notice a promotion that’s missing? Let me know!

Recommended points and miles promotions

These are the points and miles promotions I recommend and probably already made use of myself by the time you read this: they’re attractive programs, the cost per point can provide real value, and buying speculatively can pay off in the long run. However, this works best for redemptions you’re planning within the next year, as there is always a risk of devaluation.

Average-value points and miles promotions

These are the points and miles promotions that are not bad, but might not provide significant value either. They can still be worth it if you have a particular redemption in mind and need to top off your points or miles balance.

Points and miles promotions that are not worth it

These are points and miles promotions that I don’t recommend partaking in. That can be for several reasons, such as the price per point being too high, or the program not offering attractive redemption pricing or availability. After all, buying points in a program is only helpful if redemptions are available, and those redemptions are a good value versus the cash price.
