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 wide-open business-class award availability to Asia, as well as a great deal on lie-flat seats to Europe. And there's still time to nab this massive welcome offer on a fan-favorite travel card (which is ending soon).

Each week, we help our readers 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 July.

Airline loyalty program promotions (July 2026)

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 is one of the best offers we found for July.

Save on Southwest redemptions

If you have Southwest Rapid Rewards points burning a hole in your pocket — or Chase Ultimate Rewards or Bilt Points, which transfer to Southwest at a 1:1 ratio — you'll want to jump on this flash sale.

Now through July 20, Rapid Rewards members can stretch their points further with discounted award rates on select fall and winter fares. One-way nonstop prices start at the following (plus taxes and fees):

  • 7,000 points within the continental U.S.
  • 8,000 points to select Mexico and Caribbean destinations
  • 10,000 points to Hawaii
  • 12,000 points to Anchorage

These rates apply to travel between Aug. 8 and Nov. 18, though there are some blackout dates. See the full terms and book your trip here.

Score up to 2,500 bonus miles on everyday purchases

Airline shopping portals are an easy way to earn bonus points and miles on your everyday purchases — and right now, two of our favorites are running lucrative back-to-school promotions.

On United MileagePlus Shopping, you can earn 500 bonus miles when you spend $150, 1,000 bonus miles when you spend $350 or 2,500 bonus miles when you spend $600.

Southwest's Rapid Rewards Shopping portal offers a similar deal: 500 bonus miles on $100 in purchases, 1,000 bonus miles on $250, or $2,500 bonus miles on $500.
