There are a few things to keep on your radar today:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Delta is having a flash sale to quite a few international destinations from the US, starting at 10,000 miles round trip. Check Dan\u2019s Deals\u2019 comments section<\/a> for known routes, or just use the flexible date search with cities like AUA, PTY, SJU, EZE, PLS, CUN, UIO, MIA, and similar from your home airport.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Emirates Skywards has an interesting type of promotion that I haven\u2019t seen before: Earn one mile for every minute you spend in Dubai between October 1, 2021 and March 31, 2022, up to 5,000 miles. Register here if you\u2019re traveling to Dubai<\/a> and note that you\u2019ll have to book a paid ticket on Emirates ticket stock, which means tickets issued by Emirates that start with 176, to be eligible. (Thanks to planesurf on reddit<\/a>)<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> This isn\u2019t strictly related to manufactured spend or travel hacking, but I know a lot of you went in on the iPhone SE Xfinity deal last year so I\u2019m going to let it slide into the blog for now (believe me I don\u2019t want this blog to turn into a blog that posts about coupons for free bread or about deals on 12-packs of diapers):<\/p>\n

Apparently Xfinity has a rewards program<\/a> and your rewards are based on subscribed services and length of time with Xfinity. I\u2019ve been told that having a Xfinity Mobile plan unlocks better rewards and it certainly did for me. I signed in here<\/a>, clicked \u2018Join\u2019, then had a bunch of awards available to me including a $100 Visa Gift Card (physical). I picked that one and passed on the others which were honestly pretty lame. Hopefully you\u2019ve got something worthwhile too.<\/p>\n

And a final, bonus news item<\/em> to keep track of: TravelBloggerBuzz notes<\/a> that American Express is starting a new financial advising arm<\/a>. Anytime new technology and big money come together, you\u2019re likely to find bonuses and manufactured spend opportunities. So keep an eye on this one.<\/p>\n
