From bonus points on your next hotel stay to generous sales on airline miles, we're always looking for travel deals that help you earn more points and miles and redeem them for maximum value. In other words, we want to help you book the vacation of your dreams.
This week, we found nonstop flights to Hawaii for only 35,000 AAdvantage miles. Delta SkyMiles members can earn triple miles on hotel stays and car rentals, and targeted World of Hyatt members can earn thousands of bonus Hyatt points.
Plus, one of our favorite travel cards, the Chase Sapphire Reserve®, is out with a best-ever welcome offer: Earn 100,000 bonus points plus a $500 Chase Travel℠ promo credit after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening (see rates and fees). (The promotional credit is valid for a one-time use only; if you apply the promotional credit to a transaction less than $500, you will forfeit the remaining balance.)
We help our readers each week by rounding up ongoing promotions so they don't have to scour the internet for the best reward redemptions and offers. This includes everything from frequent flyer programs and hotel rewards programs to credit card offers and rental car deals. Here's our latest list of noteworthy new points and miles promotions for August.
Airline loyalty program promotions (August 2025)
Airline loyalty programs can offer trip discounts on certain dates, as well as the chance to earn more miles for future travel and deals to rack up points toward elite status. Below are some of the best offers we found for August.
Earn up to 50,000 bonus Qantas points on hotel stays
If you collect points in the Qantas Frequent Flyer program, this promotion could earn you thousands of extra points on your next hotel stay — but you'll have to act fast. This offer ends Aug. 4.
Earn up to 50,000 bonus Qantas points when you book a stay through Qantas Hotels, depending on how much you spend:
- Spend 500-999 Australian dollars (roughly $323-$646): Earn 2,000 bonus points
- Spend AU$1,000-1,999 (roughly $646-$1,293): Earn 5,000 bonus points

That's on top of the 3 points per dollar spent you normally earn for booking through Qantas' hotel platform.
Boost your JetBlue balance by shopping, dining and more
Qantas isn't the only airline offering points for partner activity. With JetBlue's TrueBlue Partner Passport Challenge, you can earn up to 7,500 bonus points for shopping, dining and spending with the program's partners.
Earn 500 bonus points when you complete qualifying activities at the following TrueBlue partners by Oct. 28:
