🇮🇸 All the Hacks Iceland Trip 🇮🇸
Back in the Iceland Episode I shared that we'd be planning some All the Hacks trips and I'm excited to announce that first trip to Iceland is officially planned for September 23-29! I’ve been working with Brandon Presser to put together the most incredible itinerary you could imagine, which you can check out here.
I’ve never been to Iceland before, so I am personally thrilled to be going on this trip and hope to see many of you there as well!
Space is limited, so to learn more and join us this fall, visit our Iceland Trip Page and reserve your spot. See you there!
🛫 Travel, Points & Miles
💰 Earn the Easiest IHG 500 Points Ever!
The only reason I'm including this offer is because this is probably the easiest way to earn IHG 500 points. All you need to do is simply register for this offer and then download the IHG App.
🛫 500k American Airlines Flights For Just 5k Miles
American Airlines introduced their biggest award sale ever, releasing 500,000 one-way Main Cabin seats starting at just 5,000 miles. This limited-time offer is valid for reservations made between 3/5/2024 till 3/15/2024, with travel eligible on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays from 4/2/2024 through 5/29/2024. Availability is very limited, so make sure to check it out soon!
💳 Big Welcome Offers Ending Next Week!
300k CapitalOne Miles The Capital One Venture X Business welcome offer of 300,000 miles will be ending 3/11/2024. This is one of the biggest welcome offers I've ever seen and here's how you can earn it:
150,000 miles after spending $20,000 within the first 3 months
Additional 150,000 miles after spending $100,000 within 6 months
This business card is one of my favorites because it earns 2x miles on every purchase. So, if you spend $100,000, you get 500,000 miles, which is like earning 5x miles. Even if you only spend $20,000, you'd still end up with 190,000 miles, which is like earning 9.5x miles. Learn more here.
One Year Southwest Companion Pass + 30k Miles The Southwest Airlines Companion Pass® lets you bring someone to fly with you for free, except for taxes and fees. For a limited time, you can earn this coveted Companion Pass (valid through 2/28/25) plus 30,000 bonus points if you sign up for any of these credit cards: Card 1, Card 2 or Card 3. The offer ends 3/11/2024, and you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening to earn the bonus.

🛫 20% Off Last-minute Southwest Award Flights
If you have a Southwest Airlines credit card, make sure to check the payment section on your Rapid Rewards account to find your single-use promo code for 20% off last-minute award flights. What's awesome about this offer is that you can use this code (valid until 1/11/2025) to book for up to 8 people in one itinerary! You can also save it for an expensive trip to maximize the discount, but remember that it's only valid for flights booked within 14 days of departure.
