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, Choice Hotels is offering up to a 35% bonus, depending on the number of Choice Hotels Privileges Points you purchase.  This offer expires today – September 22.

    I have $1000 in UA Travel Bank thanks to Amex $200 annual airline credits. Is it possible to use those funds to buy AF/KLM miles/points? I have the UA Explorer card. Thank you!
