Share this post

Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday!  I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 5 offers that end in the next week.  Always check the math to make sure that buying miles & points makes sense for you.  Do not buy miles & points speculatively unless you have a use in mind.  With that said, here are the 5 offers that end soon.

Up first, Spirit Airlines is offering up to an 80% bonus, depending on the number of Spirit Airlines Free Spirit Miles you purchase.  This offer expires today – January 20.
