Nov 27 Update: Bonus Marriott Rewards points for Gift Cards, Aegean Miles and Bonus 10th Anniversary contest, US Airways Marriott bonus

Happy Tuesday to everyone!

News, Tips & Tricks

The best news today and what is also a tip comes to us from Marriott Rewards. For the past few years, Marriott has rewarded Marriott Rewards members with bonus points for purchasing Marriott Gift Cards during certain times of the year and that time is back. The latest version of the Marriott Gift Card bonus points offer is out, which you should take advantage of if you have or plan to have upcoming Marriott stays since you will earn miles/points using a credit card to purchase the gift card, get the bonus points for the gift card and then earn your regular Marriott Rewards points for the actual stay. A very easy triple dip and if you registered for the MegaBonus, or any future promos you could consider it a quadruple dip (very similar to the Aeroplan Best Western Gift Card offer from this past summer)

Aegean Miles&Bonus, the program that is famous for offering the easiest route Star Alliance Gold status is 10 years old and to celebrate they a running a contest where the person who guesses the closest amount of miles awarded by Aegean Miles&Bonus over its 10 year history will win Businesss Class tickets and hotel stays. More details can be found here.
