Earn more with airline, hotel rewards program special offers and promotions

If you’re a frequent traveler, it is easy to see the value in loyalty programs from your favorite airline or hotel. You can rack up points or miles on your purchases with the brand – and often on other purchases as well. Then, you can redeem those rewards for free flights, hotel stays or perks that make your next vacation more enjoyable.

There are lots of ways to maximize your hotel and airline rewards earning, including employing a co-branded credit card. You can also keep an eye out for limited-time ways to earn more rewards, as both hotels and airlines frequently offer such incentives.
