Deal alert: Points and miles travel deals for January 2025

Editor’s note: Some of the below offers may be targeted. This is a recurring post, regularly updated with new information and offers.

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

Recently, we found Singapore Airlines flights to Europe starting at 17,500 miles, multiple ways to save money at Universal Orlando and a slew of Hyatt promotions. Plus, you can earn 10 American Airlines AAdvantage miles per dollar when you donate to Red Cross wildfire relief until Jan. 22. But that’s not all.

We help our readers each week by rounding up ongoing 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 2025)

Airline loyalty programs can offer trip discounts on certain dates, the chance to earn more miles for future travel and deals to rack up points toward elite status. Below are some of the offers we found for January.

Earn double All Nippon Airways miles on transpacific flights

For a limited time, targeted ANA Mileage Club members can earn double miles on select routes to or from North America — which could be helpful if you have your eye on the airline’s couch in the sky.

  • Earn double base miles on select transpacific routes to or from North America (U.S., Canada and Mexico) operated by ANA or ANA Group.
  • Codeshare flights with an ANA (NH) flight number that are operated by a partner airline are not eligible. All mileage-earning booking classes are included in the promotion.
  • Check your email to see if you’re targeted, then register, book and fly by March 12.

Earn 3,000 bonus Frontier Airlines miles for flying this month

Frontier Miles is giving members a chance to kick-start the year with 3,000 bonus miles — but you have to fly by the end of January.

  • Earn 3,000 bonus miles when you book and take a single one-way flight.
  • GoWild! (Frontier’s all-you-can-fly pass) bookings are not eligible for this promotion, and there’s a limit of one bonus per member.
  • Register here, then book and fly by Jan. 31. You must register at least 24 hours before your flight takes off.

Hotel loyalty programs occasionally offer discounted stays, ways to earn extra points and deals at various properties. Here are some January deals to consider when booking your next stay.

Save up to 20% on Marriott stays booked by Sunday

Marriott Bonvoy Escapes, the program’s last-minute hotel deals, is back with up to 20% savings — but you’ll have to act fast.

  • Save up to 20% on last-minute getaways at over 2,200 participating hotels and resorts around the world. Marriott Bonvoy members get 20% off the standard rate, while nonmembers only get 15% off, so you may as well join Bonvoy for free.
  • Discount applies to stays Thursday through Sunday at most hotels or all days of the week at resorts.
  • Book at least five days in advance with promo code “QRI.”
  • Book by Jan. 19, and stay between Jan. 20 and Feb. 9.

Earn double points at Accor luxury properties

Accor Live Limitless points are one of the most valuable hotel currencies, and you can earn twice as many when you stay at participating hotels this winter.

  • Earn double rewards points when staying at Fairmont, Sofitel, Swissotel, Novotel and Raffles properties in North or Central America.
  • You must activate this offer here, then book by Feb. 28 and stay by March 31.
