Apparently a bunch of marketing teams got together and colluded to make Wednesday, August 25 the official promotion day for travel hacking. Here are the results:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Simon<\/a> has a promotion running for 40% off of gift cards with code FS40AUG21<\/em>. Don\u2019t buy with an American Express, but other cards are fair game. For the best bang for your buck, go with $1,000 Visa gift cards. <\/p>\n

Tip: If you haven\u2019t yet been approved for a volume account with Simon and you want to unlock the $1,000 Visa gift cards, I\u2019d recommend putting \u201cManufactured Spend\u201d on the application as the reason for applying. Yes, I\u2019m serious, and yes, it works.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Register here for Hilton HHonors<\/a> double points for non-AmEx Hilton credit card holders, or triple points if you do hold a HHonors credit card. The promotion runs through September 7 and December 31.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Alaska Airlines has a flash sale<\/a> running today for travel between September 7 and December 15. Because the dates cover some holiday travel, I\u2019d suggest taking a peek if you\u2019re still waiting to book travel for the holiday season.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Register here for 1,000 bonus AA miles<\/a> for every \u201cqualifying\u201d stay between September 3 and December 21, which as far as I can tell means every points earning eligible stay in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, or Asia (cash, or cash+points).<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> The Point debit card<\/a> has a 10x boost for Target, up to $500 in spend. This amounts to $50 cash back. Can you guess my play? If you said buy a gift card for resale, you\u2019ve won our grand prize!<\/p>\n

If you want the Point card, use a referral because the sign up bonus is bigger that way. <\/p>\n
