  1. Accor has registration open for a Q3 promotion for 500-1,000 bonus points on two night or longer stays<\/a> including a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday through October 26, but the bonus can only be earned one time. (Thanks to FM<\/a>)
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Hilton silently devalued many of its high-end properties<\/a>, in some cases award redemption prices went up by more than a third.

    Valuations are notoriously hard and opinionated, but I’d suggest that you drop your own Hilton valuation by at least 25-30% unless you have your own private unicorn. Personally, I’m treating them as worth 0.3 cents each.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Southwest has a 50% off of base fares sale for both paid and award tickets<\/a> with promo code MILLIONS<\/em>.

    It’s worth checking existing travel plans that were booked after May 27 because you’ll be operating under the same fare and checked bags scheme. For travel plans booked before, ymmv<\/em>.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Stop & Shop<\/a>,\u00a0Giant Foods<\/a>, and\u00a0Martins<\/a> stores have 8x points on both Amazon and Zift Zillions gift cards through Thursday, limit $2,000 spend per account.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Have a nice Wednesday!<\/p>\n\n\n
