Stacking play: 1,395 AA miles + LP on $250 Avis rental.

A SimplyMiles card-linked offer delivers 1,395 American Airlines miles and 1,395 Loyalty Points on a single Avis rental of $250 or more. The real value comes from stacking: pair it with the Citi/AAdvantage Executive World Elite Mastercard for up to $120 annual statement credit on Avis, plus click through a shopping portal and apply a corporate discount. Since SimplyMiles is Mastercard-only, linking that card unlocks both the bonus and the statement credit. The offer expires October 31, 2026, and you can redeem twice per offer cycle.

the play

Link a Mastercard to your SimplyMiles account, activate the Avis offer, then stack with the Citi/AAdvantage Executive card's statement credit and a shopping portal to maximize earnings on a $250+ rental.

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.
