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 5 offers that end soon.

Up first, JetBlue is offering up to a 50% bonus, depending on the number of JetBlue TrueBlue Points you purchase.  This offer expires today – April 21.

Between March 21, 2023, 12:00:01 am EDT and April 21, 2023, 11:59:59 pm EDT (the “Promotion Period”), this offer provides Wyndham Rewards members who purchase Wyndham Rewards points from points.com in accordance with these terms and conditions additional points in an amount equal to 40% of their point purchase (the additional points earned pursuant to these terms, the “Bonus”) and raises the annual limit on Wyndham Rewards points purchases through points.com from a total of sixty thousand Wyndham Rewards points (the “Standard Limit”) to a total of one hundred twenty thousand Wyndham Rewards points (the “Increased Limit”). For clarity, (i) Bonuses are not counted for the purpose of determining whether the Standard Limit or Increased Limit has been reached, and (ii) the Increased Limit will expire simultaneously with the Promotion Period, at which time the Standard Limit will again come into effect for the 2023 calendar year. Purchases of fewer than 3,000 points in a single transaction will not qualify for any Bonus hereunder. (The foregoing minimum purchase requirement applies each time a purchase is made during the Promotion Period.)

Offer is subject to change. Offer cannot be combined with any other offer. Only purchases made online are eligible for this offer. Points will be posted to the recipient’s Wyndham Rewards account within 72 hours after the completed transaction. Points purchases do not count toward Member Levels. All points.com transactions are final and non-refundable. Points.com and Wyndham Rewards reserve the right to terminate this offer at any time. Except as specifically modified as set forth herein with respect to the increased minimum purchase on Wyndham Rewards points purchases during the Promotion Period, points purchased are subject to the Wyndham Rewards program terms and conditions. A GST/HST charge applies to purchases by Canadian residents. An additional QST charge applies to purchases by Quebec residents.

More Information about Points Expiration
Although Wyndham Rewards points typically expire four (4) years after completion of the activity for which they were earned, in some cases, they can be forfeited earlier. One cause of early forfeiture is account inactivity, i.e., the failure to earn, redeem or transfer points, for a period of 18 consecutive months. For more information on the expiration and early forfeiture of Wyndham Rewards points, please visit www.wyndhamrewards.com/terms.


Up next, Avianca Airlines is offering up to a 150% bonus, depending on the number of Avianca Airlines LifeMiles you purchase. This offer expires on April 26.

    Hey Grant….long time no chat. You were the guy a few years ago that turned me on to Vacasa and possibilities on Hawaii. You raved about it and for good reason. My wife and I each have 150K or so Cap One miles. I understand that they transfer to Wyndham 1:1. We haven’t traveled much in the last 3 years. Can you provide an update on the chain of value (cap one to wyndham for Vacasa) and if you still think Wyndham for Vacasa is a great deal? I can ditch the Cap One miles to any source, but if shuttling them over to Wyndham in order to book Vacasa makes sense, then great. I just don’t know the Vacasa footprint or the availability or if you can do their bookings online. I obviously wouldn’t do the transfer without a target and some research, but I don’t know what the lag is to go from cap one to wyndham and then any snags in booking vacasa once there.

      Hi Mike, I’m still a huge fan of Vacasa, especially in Hawaii when there are so many options. For $135 in points, you can get a great 1 bedroom condo. That’s a great deal, especially in Hawaii. There are no cleaning fees or resort fees, so there is no cash copay. The research and booking process is pretty straightforward and the call only takes a few minutes.
