Loyalty Programs Offer Bonus Miles, Points And Even Cash This Spring

Pad your miles and points balance this spring with these latest promotions. Not only are bonuses up for grabs, but so are other perks like free breakfast and even cash. These are some of the latest offers that only take a few seconds to register for, but can yield outsized benefits for your next trip.

Spring bonus points at Best Western and WorldHotels

Guests that stay with Best Western or its high-end WorldHotels soft brand are in for a points bonus this spring. Between now and May 7, members who stay at least two nights paying an eligible rate will earn an 8,000-point bonus in either program. If once is not enough, members can earn the bonus two times for a total of 16,000 points. Best Western Rewards members should register for the promotion to be eligible to earn the 8,000-point bonus when staying at participating hotels in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean. WorldHotels Rewards members have a separate registration link. This promotion is available for a global list of participating hotels including familiar names like Eden Roc Miami Beach and Warwick Hotel Rittenhouse Square Philadelphia as well as others in the Americas, Europe and Asia.

World of Hyatt Bonus Journeys for spring travel

Members of World of Hyatt can maximize their points earning this spring with the Bonus Journeys promotion. For every two nights at a World of Hyatt-participating property, members can earn 3,000 points (up to 30 days) for every two eligible nights they stay. Considering that a Category 1 World of Hyatt redemption starts at 3,500 points, this could represent great value for many members. Those with the World of Hyatt Credit card can also earn 500 bonus points for the same two nights. Registration is required for this promotion, which lasts between March 20 and May 26 (although registration ends by the end of April).

Free cash for joining Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan

New members to the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan program can receive $25 if they book a ticket within four weeks of joining. It’s a great way to save some cash while also joining a Oneworld alliance loyalty program that awards miles on its own flights based on distance flown rather than cost per ticket (the only U.S. network airline to still do so).

2x points with Leaders Club

The amenity-rich Leaders Club program from The Leading Hotels of the World has another benefit available this spring. Members can earn double points for reservations made between now and May 7 for stays through May 22. That’s on top of receiving complimentary breakfast for two each morning of the stay, room upgrades and late checkout for joining the free program. All members are eligible for these perks, not just those with elite status. But first, be sure to register for the promotion before making a reservation.

Earn 3,000 points after first stay made via Radisson app

Make your first booking via the Radisson app and earn 3,000 points after your hotel stay. The reservation must be for at least two nights at any of the over 600 hotels in Europe, Middle East, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. Members automatically receive a 10% discount on the room rate as well as onsite food and beverage purchases during their stay. The brand is growing its international footprint, especially in the luxury space, with new brands like The Radisson Collection.

Flying Blue Promo Rewards for April released

As Flying Blue, the loyalty program for Air France and KLM among other airlines, does every month, it has released the latest round of routes where members can redeem points at a discount. Members can save as much as 50% off Air France flights between Atlanta and Europe in economy class and 25% off flights between Austin, Boston, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Salt Lake City or Washington Dulles and Europe on particular Air France or KLM routes. Reservations must be made during the month of April, but travel can take place through September.
