New Zealand sub-S$1,000: Air NZ promo fares end 10 Sep 2026.

Air New Zealand's fare sale from Singapore to Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, and Queenstown drops Economy to S$983, Premium Economy to S$2,352, and Business to S$4,628 round-trip for the lowest verified fares. The sale runs until 10 Sep 2026 for travel Oct 2026 through Jun 2027. Economy books into fare class 'K', earning just 10% of miles flown on KrisFlyer—about 1,000 miles round-trip—but the S$983 Christchurch fare via Auckland is the standout, beating Singapore Airlines' S$1,488 direct option.

Trip.com deal: 17.5% cashback is solid, but past rates hit 36.5%.

Capital One Shopping and Offers are running a deal on Trip.com today (September 9) with up to 17.5% cashback or 17X miles on hotel, lodging, and car rental bookings. Flights earn 3.5%/3X, and other categories like tours or transfers earn 2.5%/2X. Rates are targeted, so you may see higher offers. The cashback from Capital One Shopping is redeemable only for gift cards, not cash. This is a decent return, but note that past deals (like in March) offered up to 36.5% for hotels, so this is a step down. The deal expires today.

Log into your Capital One Shopping and Capital One Offers accounts, check your targeted rates for Trip.com, and book any eligible travel before the September 9 deadline.

Don't book on TopCashback's 16% Klook rate until you read the fine print.

TopCashback has boosted rates across IHG, Radisson, Viator, GetYourGuide, Klook, Expedia and more, but the 'up to' qualifiers change the deal. Viator's 15% is only for new customers, while existing customers earn 10%. Expedia's 10% applies only to new customers booking activities, with existing customers seeing 5%-8% for other travel. IHG's 12% is limited to Iberostar, though all IHG brands earn 10%. No expiry is listed, so compare rates on Cashback Monitor or Savewise before committing.

Check the 'up to' terms on each rate, then compare on Cashback Monitor before booking.
