Scoot to Kuala Lumpur for 1,275 miles: 30% off drops with strict rules.

Singapore Airlines and Scoot's September 2026 Spontaneous Escapes cut award rates by 30% on Economy, Premium Economy, and Business Saver fares. The best value sits on Scoot's short-haul Economy: Singapore to Kuala Lumpur or Langkawi at just 1,275 KrisFlyer miles each way. But there are deep blackout dates across most routes, and no discounted Business to Europe or North America appears — only some Premium Economy. Bookings lock in immediately with no changes or cancellations allowed, so read the terms before committing.

the play

Book by August 31 on singaporeair.com for travel September 1-30, carefully checking blackout dates, and accept that the ticket is non-changeable and non-refundable.

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.
