Signup Bonus: 2000 Free IHG Rewards Club Points

IHG Rewards Club is offering 2000 points for new signups through December 7. I view that as worth about $8. It’s only for new members, but there isn’t usually a bonus just for signing up. So if you aren’t already a member it may be worth the minute or so to pocket 2000 while you […]

British Airways has launched an amazing New Years fare sale for travel originating in the UK.

The promotion is marketed as "2 for £2014," though in practice you can also book one passenger for £1007 (~$1,580USD). That's the all-in price, which is valid to a wide range of destinations.

The basic terms of the promotion are as follows:

Air France FlyingBlue February/March Promo Awards — Up To 50% Off

One of the best uses of Air France/KLM FlyingBlue miles is booking their Promo Awards. FlyingBlue publishes these every month, and they offer 25-50% off select award tickets on Air France and KLM metal. Back in the day Promo Awards would consistently be for 50% off and would have a good number of options in business class, though unfortunately they’ve devalued the program somewhat since then, and the discounts now vary.

However, there are still some great values to be had. FlyingBlue just published their latest Promo Awards. These are valid for bookings made between December 1 and December 31, 2014, and for travel between February 1, 2015 and March 31, 2015. While the January/February Promo Awards were quite impressive, this list is a bit more lackluster (which isn't really surprising, since March can be a busy month for travel).

For this Promo Award period, there are only three North America destinations that are eligible for discounted awards, as follows:

Free Points For Joining IHG Rewards Club

Back in the day it was pretty common for loyalty programs to offer a bonus just for signing up for an account. Unfortunately that's pretty rare nowadays, though.

The promotion is valid through December 7, 2014, and bonus points will be deposited into the account upon the completion of the promotion.
