Our roundup of this week's top 5 travel deals

Reading Time: 7 min

This week I've got several standout ways to earn and redeem your points, including free Frontier miles just for showing an existing balance, Air France flights to Europe starting at 18,750 miles each way, and a set of limited-time shopping portal promos offering up to 1,500 bonus miles for everyday spending.

I’ve also got a boosted sign-up bonus on JetBlue’s credit card, and a brand-new Disney card that comes with up to $600 in value just to start. Let’s take a look at what’s worth your attention this week in travel and points & miles.

Free airline miles don't come around often, but here's a rare exception. Frontier Airlines is essentially giving away miles with nothing more than proof that you have points with someone else.

The airline is running a promotion called "​The Big Redemption​" that awards up to 5,000 Frontier miles simply for proving you have points or miles in another airline's loyalty program. You don't lose your existing miles with the other airline — Frontier just matches the balance, up to 5,000 miles.

All you need to do is take a screenshot of your balance from another program, ​submit it with Frontier's form​, and the carrier will deposit the same amount in your Frontier account (up to 5,000 miles).

Those 5,000 miles could score you a one-way domestic flight on Frontier since award tickets start at that level. The catch is that you'll be flying Frontier, but for a completely free ticket based on a screenshot, it's hard to complain.

This promotion runs through February 22nd or until Frontier gives away 70 million miles, whichever comes first. That caps participation at roughly 14,000 people, assuming everyone gets the full 5,000 miles. I just did it myself when I was writing this newsletter and Frontier said I still qualified, but this could fill up well before the deadline, so speed matters if you want in.

In case you missed it...

The points and miles checklist I use every year

Getting across the Atlantic on miles can be significantly cheaper if you're flying from one of 11 cities that made the latest Flying Blue promotion list and can book your ticket this month.

Air France and KLM Flying Blue launched their ​February Promo Rewards​ this week, offering 25% off standard award flights between Europe and select North American cities. Economy awards start at just 18,750 miles each way from cities like Phoenix, Dallas, San Francisco, Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, and Montreal.

For those looking for an elevated experience, travelers from Las Vegas can book in premium economy for 30,000 miles one way, while business class flyers from Washington D.C. pay only 45,000 miles in each direction.

The good news is that while you'll need to book by February 28th to get these prices, you can travel any time through July 31st. The discount also applies to flights anywhere in Europe, not just those going to Paris or Amsterdam.

It's also easy to get Air France/KLM miles, as all six major U.S. credit card programs — Chase, Amex, Citi, Capital One, Wells Fargo, and Bilt — ​transfer to Flying Blue​ at a 1-to-1 ratio. The bad news is that taxes and fees on these awards can run a bit high, so check the total cost before transferring points.

Remember that not every flight will have these discounted prices, but ​Points Path Pro​ and Founders Club members can see live Air France and KLM award pricing directly in Google Flights, as well as the taxes and fees on every award.

Three major airline shopping portals launched bonus promotions this week that reward you for online purchases you were probably going to make anyway.

Alaska Airlines, American, and United are each offering 500 bonus miles or points when you spend between $150 and $200 through their online shopping portals. ​United​ and ​Alaska​ require $150 in spending by February 9th and February 11th respectively, while you'll need to spend $200 through ​American's portal​ by February 9th to score its bonus.

These extra miles stack on top of whatever rewards you'd normally earn through the portal and on your credit card, making it a solid addition if you were already planning to shop. Even better, purchases are cumulative, meaning you don't have to spend $150 or $200 all at one place — you can split it up so long as you complete all your shopping by the deadline.

While 500 bonus miles won't change your life, it's a nice boost if these portals already offer competitive rates for the stores you're shopping. Keep in mind the bonus can take up to 10 weeks to post after the promotion ends, though it usually shows up faster.

Double your travel points without signing up for another credit card

Most folks are happy earning points and miles on everything they buy with their credit card. But did you know there's a way to "double dip" and earn extra points for free? People know Bilt for its credit cards that earn points on rent with no transaction fees. But you don't need a Bilt card to join the Bilt Neighborhood Benefits program. In fact, not only is it free to join, but you can stack the points you earn from it with the rewards from your existing credit card, and take home twice as much!

If you've been looking to get some extra JetBlue points in your account, this week brought a new sign-up offer on the airline's primary credit card.

The ​JetBlue Plus Card​ is now offering 70,000 bonus points after spending $1,000 and paying the $99 annual fee, both within 90 days. That's up from the previous 60,000-point offer and represents one of the better bonuses for this card. Thanks to our friends at ​Frequent Miler​ for flagging this new offer.

Beyond the welcome bonus, the card delivers decent perks for JetBlue loyalists. You'll get a 10% rebate on all award redemptions, a free checked bag on JetBlue flights, and you'll earn a 5,000-point bonus each year when you renew the card. You'll also earn 6 points per dollar on JetBlue purchases, 2x on restaurants and groceries, and 1x on everything else.

I typically wouldn't use this as my primary credit card. But even if you only fly JetBlue a few times a year, the ongoing benefits can make the card worth keeping for the long run, especially the checked bag waiver. That perk, along with the anniversary bonus and award rebate, can easily offset the $99 annual fee each year.

After years of Chase offering the same two (fairly tame) Disney credit cards, fans of the Mouse House officially have a new option that comes loaded with perks designed specifically for families who visit the parks regularly.

This week, Chase introduced the ​Disney Inspire Visa Card​. It's not cheap, as it carries a $149 annual fee. But new cardholders get a $300 Disney gift card immediately upon approval, plus an additional $300 statement credit after spending $1,000 within the first three months. That adds up to $600 in value right out of the gate.

The card also earns 10 points per dollar on Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+, along with 3x at gas stations and most Disney locations, 2x on groceries and restaurants, and 1x everywhere else. A $10 monthly statement credit kicks in when you spend $10 each month on qualifying streaming subscriptions, though you'll need to reactivate this benefit every year.

Three additional perks reward purchases with Disney itself. You'll get a $100 statement credit when spending $200 on Disney theme park tickets in the U.S. within a cardholder year. Big spenders can also earn 200 Disney Reward Dollars by spending $2,000 on bookings at U.S. Disney resorts and Disney cruises annually. And you'll get 10% off select merchandise and dining at Disney parks and at DisneyStore.com.

This card is a major step up from Chase's previous Disney offerings, and a pretty solid package for true Disney fanatics. But even if you go to the parks only once a year, you can make back the card's annual fee with its various perks. So it's worth a look if you're even just a casual Disney parks fan.

Reduce your travel anxiety with TSA-approved stress balls

Stress balls are a fantastic fidget to keep your hands busy and calm nerves. But some of them are filled with gels and liquid, so it's important to buy a TSA-approved one for flying. The ​Serenilite stress balls​ won’t trip you up at security, and come in several densities for varying grip strength.

Get it at Amazon

That's a wrap on this week's best travel deals. But if you're looking to make the most of your next flight, check out ​our new guide on how to get free inflight Wi-Fi​ and avoid paying those sky-high fees. Have a terrific Super Bowl weekend! ✈️
