One of the better value spinner bag companies is Delsey, and Amazon has a two piece spinner set marked down from $130 to $49.99 with free prime shipping.
These are polycarbonate bags, and I suggest them in the value category at regular price. At $50 for two bags this is an amazing price for what you get. .
Reprising an offer from September, LifeMiles is selling miles with a 200% bonus through December 3.
There was a lot of excitement recently over the ability to buy Alaska Airlines gift cards at a 10% discount via Costco ($500 gift card for $450). Delta Air Lines is offering a 10% bonus but there’s something unique about the bonus. It isn’t an electronic gift card. Instead it’s “a limited-edition $50 Delta Gift Card made from a retired DC-9 aircraft“
Alaska Airlines runs squirrely sales, like discounts tied to the number of Russell Wilson touchdowns, but customers can benefit if they pay attention (and if sports results break just right).
Right now airlines might as well try anything, because although over 1 million people crossed through TSA checkpoints on Sunday that’s still down over 60% year-over-year. So Alaska is at it with a new sale based on the height of waves in California and Hawaii.
There’s a huge sale between the U.S. and Europe on Delta starting at $1500 roundtrip for travel throughout most of 2021 through end of schedule (early September next year).
Meanwhile American Airlines is running a New York – Italy business class sale with $1900 roundtrip.
British Airways is offering 50% off long haul redemptions in any cabin and 25% off of short haul. Book by October 13 for travel through June 30, 2021. No registration is required, and this appears to be available to all members worldwide and isn’t restricted to particular routes.
For instance book New York – London for just 25,000 miles each way in business class, 34,000 miles each way in first.
Alaska Airlines is offering a regular discount based on Russell Wilson touchdowns. Last night’s performance yields 40% off. Book by midnight Pacific time tonight.
Capital One and Amazon are offering a first-use promotion of $20 off $80 for Capital One cardmembers who have never used their miles or cash back to shop at Amazon.com.
Star Alliance member TAP Air Portugal, known for its cheap business class fares, has deals right now from the U.S. to Europe starting at just $82 one way and $229 round trip. And that’s not just East Coast to Europe, but even from San Francisco as well.
And while most people in the U.S. cannot travel to most destinations in Europe now, at least without quarantining on arrival (U.K.), this fare is available through next summer and at these prices it may be worth taking a flyer.
One of the best deals in travel has long been the annual Alaska Airlines $99 companion ticket that comes with their credit card, since it’s valid for any seat on any flight in conjunction with a paid ticket without restriction – and even earns miles.
Right now though Alaska Airlines is offering companion travel without the $99 payment, without the credit card, and in unlimited quantities.
