Singapore 30% off: LAX economy and EWR premium are the only clean plays.

The Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes promotion offers 30% off Saver awards on select U.S.-Asia routes for September travel, with one-way economy from 30,800 miles and premium economy from 55,300 miles. But blackout dates are heavy: Los Angeles economy works both ways with many usable dates, while San Francisco economy has narrow windows and no return discount. The Newark-Singapore premium economy route lists no blackout dates, making it the most usable premium option at 59,150 miles. Most other routes are one-way traps or have restrictive calendars, so focus on LAX economy or EWR premium economy.

the play

Book LAX economy round-trip for 61,600 miles if you can travel within the eligible September windows, or Newark-Singapore premium economy for 59,150 miles one-way if you need a no-blackout 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.
