From bonus points on your next hotel stay to generous sales on airline miles, we’re always looking for travel deals that help you earn more points and miles and allow you to redeem them for maximum value. In other words, we want to help you book the vacation of your dreams.

This month, we found business-class tickets to Dublin for 45,000 Atmos Rewards points plus taxes and fees. You can also ski for free at select resorts when you book Alaska Airlines for your ski trip. Plus, Bilt unveiled its first-ever credit card welcome offers, and Chase made it easier to earn a lucrative welcome bonus on its Sapphire cards.

We help our readers each week by rounding up promotions, so they don’t have to scour the internet for the best reward redemptions and offers. This includes everything from frequent flyer programs and hotel rewards programs to credit card offers and rental car deals. Here’s our latest list of noteworthy new points and miles promotions for January.

Airline loyalty program promotions (January 2026)

ZACH GRIFF/THE POINTS GUY

Airline loyalty programs can offer trip discounts on specific dates, as well as the opportunity to earn more points or miles for future travel and exclusive deals to accumulate points or miles toward elite status. Below are some of the best offers we found for January.

Save 30% on TAP redemptions to Europe

TAP Air Portugal is running a sale on both paid and award flights to Europe. For the latter, you can save 30% when you redeem TAP Miles&Go miles for select flights. For example, there are round-trip economy flights between Washington, D.C., and Lisbon for 40,600 miles plus $155. Or, you can fly round-trip in economy between Miami and Malaga, Spain, for 58,000 miles plus $189.

But this deal won’t last long. You’ll need to book your sale flight by Jan. 29 and travel by May 31.

Need more Miles&Go miles? You can transfer Bilt Points and Capital One miles to the program at a 1:1 ratio.

Earn 50% more Aeroplan points all year

Air Canada Aeroplan’s latest offer could be a lucrative one.

Travelers can earn 50% bonus Aeroplan points on all eligible flights for the rest of the year to virtually any destination in the carrier’s network. Flights must be operated by Air Canada to qualify, and basic economy fares are excluded.

No registration is required. Book by Jan. 31, and complete your travel by Dec. 31.

Card issuers offer deals and discounts on a wide range of products, from airfare to dining. Here are some of the offers we’ve rounded up this week. Note that you must activate these offers on your card and use the enrolled card to make the purchase in order to earn bonus rewards. Not all offers may be available on your account.

Targeted Amex Offer at Air France

This Amex Offer, which we spotted on the American Express Platinum Card®, could save you up to 17% on your next Air France flight. And, since the Amex Platinum earns 5 Membership Rewards points per dollar spent on flights booked through Amex Travel, you’ll rack up plenty of valuable transferable points in the process.

Earn a $250 statement credit when you spend at least $1,400 on Air France flights purchased through Amex Travel. Make your purchase(s) by Feb. 28.

Targeted Amex Offer at Viator

Flights and lodging aren’t the only things to factor into your trip budget. Tours and activities are another area where costs can add up fast — and where credit card offers can help you save.

If you’re targeted for this Amex Offer, you can get $35 back as a statement credit after making a single purchase of $325 or more at Viator’s website by Jan. 31. You can use this offer up to twice, for a total of $70 in savings.

Targeted Chase Offer at Turo

If you’ll need a vehicle on your next trip, check your Chase Offers. This one, which we found on the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (see rates and fees), could save you money on a car rental through Turo.

Earn $30 cash back on your Turo purchase when you spend $150 or more online or through the app by Jan. 31.
