Saturday Recap: National Travel Insurance Survey Results, Earn Up To 10,000 AAdvantage Miles on Flights to China, Save 13% When Booking with Hotels.com, Best Western Launches Summer Promotion, Aeroplan Around the World Contest

Here's a recap of the interesting points and miles news from this week:

National Travel Insurance Survey Results: As a recap from earlier this week, the results came in from the survey that I commissioned Princeton Survey Research Associates International to conduct, to find out whether or not people think it's worth it to purchase travel insurance, and the results were very interesting. In all, only about half of the respondents said they had a pretty good idea of what travel insurance covers while 49% admitted to being unsure of what travel insurance covers. Only 21% of people purchase travel insurance (only 7% of them purchase it regularly) with an astounding 78% of people responding that they either never purchase travel insurance or take a trip where it is offered.

Earn Up To 10,000 AAdvantage Miles On Flights To China: American is offering AAdvantage members bonus miles when they fly between the US and China. This is valid on flights between Chicago (ORD) or Los Angeles (LAX) and Shanghai (PVG) and between Chicago (ORD) and Beijing (PEK). You'll earn 10,000 bonus AAdvantage miles if flying in First Class, or 8,000 bonus AAdvantage miles if flying in Business Class. To qualify, you must first register using promo code CHN13. This bonus is valid for flights now through August 15, 2013. This offer is good for AAdvantage members who purchase and fly on a published First or Business Class fare on an American operated flight.

Save 13% When Booking With Hotels.com: Hotels.com is offering customers 13% off their next Hotels.com reservation by using coupon code SUMMER13. To be eligible, you must book your stay by July 4, 2013, for stays now through October 14, 2013. This offer is only valid on new bookings, however if you have a prior reservation and are still able to cancel then you might be able to rebook with this offer. These rates are not valid to earn credit in their Welcome Rewards program, but if you don't book many hotels reservations through them and would rather save some cash this could be a good deal.

Best Western Launches Summer Promotion: Best Western is launching a summer promotion where members who stay three separate nights now through August 18, 2013, at a Best Western hotel will earn a free night voucher that can be used at any of Best Western's 2,000+ hotels in the U.S., Canada or Caribbean. To participate in this offer, you must register prior to your first stay. The free night voucher must be redeemed on or before January 31, 2014. In addition, if you book your stay through Best Western's mobile app, you can earn an additional 1,000 points per stay. This offer is good for stays through September 30, 2013.

Aeroplan Around the World Contest: Air Canada's Aeroplan has launched a Facebook contest where you can earn some bonus miles and a chance to win 200,000 miles. To get started, head over to their Facebook page, where you must "like" the page first, and then you'll be able to enter your Aeroplan number for your chance to win. You'll earn 1,000 bonus miles when you make a qualify purchase with one of their partners such as a hotel or rental car reservation. Three grand prize winners will then be selected and will win 200,000 miles. The contest runs now through September 10, 2013.
