2X Hyatt dining points: elite status on the menu, no room needed.

World of Hyatt is running a dining promotion across Asia Pacific from August 1 through September 30, 2026, offering double points on eligible food and beverage spend at participating Hyatt restaurants and bars without requiring a hotel stay. No registration is needed; just provide your membership number when paying. The points earned are Base Points, meaning they count toward Discoverist, Explorist, Globalist, and Lifetime Globalist status, and elite bonuses stack on top. Minimum spend is $10 per transaction, with a cap of 30,000 bonus points during the period. Note: charging to your hotel room during a stay disqualifies the transaction from this promotion.

the play

Visit any participating Hyatt restaurant in Asia Pacific before September 30, 2026, present your World of Hyatt number at payment, and earn double base points on eligible spend to fast-track elite status.

Get one play like this every day.

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.

the play

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.
