  1. Southwest will be opening their schedule this morning for travel through June 4, 2025<\/a>. That travel window probably will include some aircraft with premium seats and probably will have aircraft with at least some reserved seating too, but so far we know nothing about either. (Thanks to Brian M)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. American Express Offers has a few new offers:<\/a>

    – $140 off of $350+ at most North American Marriotts through November 23
    – 4x or 10x Bonvoy points at grocery stores, up to 7,500 bonus points
    – $75 off of $275+ at Radisson and Choice Ascend properties through November 30

    (Thanks to     DoC<\/a>)

  3. One of my favorite old promotions dates back to when you could buy Sears gift cards through a portal for 10x-25x<\/a>, then use those gift cards to purchase merchandise for another 10x-25x, netting a total of 20x-50x for things that were marked up only 5-10%.

    This ain’t that, but Giftcards.com has a smaller scale version through September 27:

    – Start at a     shopping portal<\/a>
    – Buy     Giftcards.com gift cards<\/a>, limit 2x$100 for 10% off with promo code GCC10<\/em>
    – Go back to a     shopping portal<\/a>
    – Use the Giftcards.com gift cards to buy other gift cards (except Visa\/MC)

    Most<\/em> giftcards.com promotion limits are per transaction, not per account; this one is more finicky in that it comes and goes throughout the day.

  4. Alaska has a fare sale for flights booked by tomorrow night<\/a> for travel between October 5 and March 5, 2025. I’m seeing great pricing, specifically:

    – Transcons for 7,500 miles each way
    – Hawaii for 7,500 miles each way
    – Short-haul for 4,000 miles each way

    There’s some weird medium-haul pricing at 20,000 miles though, so not everything is peachy-keen or even flam-flam strawberry jam.

  5. Southwest has 30% off of flights booked by tomorrow night<\/a> for travel between October 24 and January 31, 2025 with promo code FRIENDS<\/em>. Holiday blackouts apply as you’d probably expect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
