From bonus points on your next hotel stay to sales on award tickets, we're always looking for travel deals that help you earn more points and miles and redeem them for maximum value. In other words, we want to help you book the vacation of your dreams.

This week, we found premium economy flights to Barcelona for just 35,000 Atmos Rewards points. TPG is also offering an exclusive discount on Roame.travel, a handy award flight search tool. Plus, Chase Sapphire Reserve® cardholders (see rates and fees) can get up to a highest-ever 2.5 cents per point through Chase Points Boost at these luxury hotels.

We help our readers each week by rounding up promotions so they don't have to scour the internet for the best reward redemptions and offers. This includes everything from frequent flyer programs and hotel rewards programs to credit card offers and rental car deals. Here's our latest list of noteworthy new points and miles promotions for April.

Airline loyalty programs can offer trip discounts on specific dates, the opportunity to earn more points or miles for future travel, and exclusive deals to accumulate points or miles toward elite status. Below are some of the best offers we found for April.

Earn up to 60k United miles on a cruise

For a limited time, you can earn bonus MileagePlus miles when you book premium staterooms on eligible cruises through United's cruise portal.

All MileagePlus members can earn 6 miles per dollar on balconies and suites — 50% more than you'd normally earn — up to 45,000 miles total. MileagePlus credit cardholders can earn even more: 10 miles per dollar on balconies and suites, up to 60,000 miles total. That's worth a whopping $810 by TPG's April 2026 valuations.

You'll need to jump on this deal by April 30. See all terms and eligible sailings here.

Earn extra Southwest points on a rental car

Planning a summer road trip?

You can score Southwest Rapid Rewards bonus points when you rent a car at a participating Budget airport location in the U.S. and Canada: 600 points for rentals of one to three days, or 2,400 points for rentals of four days or longer.

To get your bonus points, provide your Rapid Rewards account number and coupon number MUAY174 at booking or check-in. Plus, you can save up to 35% on base rates with Budget Customer Discount (BCD) number U072796.

Book and complete your qualifying rental by June 30.

Score 10k Flying Blue miles on a single flight

Flying Blue members can earn a whopping 10,000 bonus miles on just one Air France or KLM flight from the U.S. to any destination in the carriers' network. To qualify, your ticket must be in economy class, and at least one segment must be from the USA to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) or Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS).

Book your eligible flight through Air France or KLM by May 3, and travel by Sept. 30.

Hotel loyalty program promotions (April 2026)

MARRIOTT HOMES & VILLAS

Hotel loyalty programs occasionally offer discounted stays and new ways to earn extra points. Here are some April deals to consider when booking your next stay.

40k Marriott points for elite members

Marriott is out with a lucrative offer for Silver Elite members and above, which you can potentially stack with an Amex Offer — but you'll have to act fast.

Marriott Bonvoy elite members can earn an impressive 40,000 bonus points on a stay at Homes & Villas by Marriott, as long as you stay at least two nights and spend at least $2,000 before taxes and fees. Register and book by April 26, 2026, and stay by Jan. 3, 2027.

Even better, there's an Amex Offer that, if you're targeted, can earn you a $250 statement credit at participating Homes & Villas by Marriott through May 24. Be sure to check your account for this offer before booking.

Double your points on Sonesta stays

With the Sonesta Annual Sale, you can earn double Travel Pass points and save up to 25% at participating hotels. You must be a member to take advantage of this sale; if you're not, you can join for free.

Book by May 19 with code SUPERSAVINGS for stays through Sept. 30.

Card issuers offer deals and discounts on a wide range of products, from airfare to dining. Here are some of the offers we've rounded up this week. Note that you must activate these offers on your card and use the enrolled card to make the purchase in order to earn bonus rewards. Not all offers may be available on your account.

Targeted Amex Offer at Air France and KLM

If you're considering jumping on Flying Blue's offer to earn 10,000 bonus miles on a single flight, check your Amex account first. This offer could save you up to 20%.

Targeted Chase Offer on Trafalgar tours

If you'd like to book a tour for your next trip, this Chase Offer at Trafalgar — an operator offering land tours and river cruises in over 75 countries — could help you save. We spotted it on the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (see rates and fees).
