To help you navigate the world of points and miles, we regularly compile ongoing promotions, so you don’t have to spend hours searching for the best deals. From frequent flyer programs to hotel rewards and credit card offers, here’s our latest roundup of noteworthy promotions for July.

Airline loyalty programs often provide discounts on select dates, allowing you to earn additional miles for future travel and work towards elite status. Here are some of the best offers we’ve found this month:

Hilton is collaborating with Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines to present two enticing offers. If you stay at any Hilton hotel or resort, you can earn 750 bonus Qatar Privilege Club Avios on your first qualifying stay. To qualify, register, book directly with Hilton, and complete your stay by September 30. Avios are particularly valuable as they can be transferred among five different airlines.

Similarly, Hilton guests can earn 1,000 Turkish Miles&Smiles miles and 50% more status miles on their first stay. Just register, book through Hilton channels, and stay by September 30 to take advantage of this offer.

For those with elite status at Marriott or United Airlines, there’s a reciprocal promotion that can earn you bonus points and miles this summer. If you hold Marriott Bonvoy Titanium Elite or Ambassador Elite status and/or MileagePlus Premier Gold, Platinum, or 1K status, you’ll receive 500 bonus MileagePlus miles on qualifying stays at Marriott Bonvoy properties, along with 750 bonus Bonvoy points on qualifying United flights. Additionally, if you complete both a flight and a stay, you can earn a one-time bonus of 1,500 Marriott Bonvoy points and 1,000 United MileagePlus miles. Be sure to register by linking your accounts, and remember that flights and stays must commence by August 31.

Credit card issuers frequently provide deals and discounts on everything from airfare to dining. Here are some offers you might want to consider this week. Remember, you must activate these offers on your card and use your enrolled card to make the purchase to earn bonus rewards. Not all offers may be available to every account.

For instance, the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (see rates and fees) is offering a deal that could save you money on your next Grand Hyatt stay. You can earn 7% cash back on your Grand Hyatt stay, with a maximum savings of $28, when you spend $100 or more by August 15. Payments must be made directly with Hyatt, either in-store in the U.S. or online at hyatt.com.

If you’re planning a road trip, the American Express® Gold Card has an offer that can save you up to 20% on car rentals. You can earn a one-time $30 statement credit after using your enrolled eligible card to spend a minimum of $150 on one or more purchases of car rentals made online at turo.com by December 31. This offer is valid for reservations in the U.S. and Canada only.

For those considering a casino trip this summer or fall, The Platinum Card® from American Express offers a $40 statement credit after you spend a minimum of $200 on room rates and charges at participating Caesars Rewards properties in Las Vegas, Reno, Lake Tahoe, and Atlantic City. This offer is valid until October 31.

In addition to these new offers, many previous promotions are still available. Be sure to check your accounts for any stand-alone Amex and Chase offers, as these can vary by card and may require activation before making an eligible purchase.
