Last chance to double up deals on Delta Vacations packages
This story is part of a sponsorship paid for by Delta Vacations — one way that TPG continues to provide our readers with free news and advice about travel.
If you haven't planned all your 2020 travels yet, you still have a couple of days left to book a Delta Vacations travel package and double up on discounts.
Delta Vacations is offering two stacking promotions: Choose between $350 off or up to 35,000 bonus miles when you book a flight and hotel package worth over $1,500 before December 15. And when you pay for part or all of your holiday from your existing mileage balance, your miles will be worth 20% more through December 14.

Another unique aspect of Delta Vacations (and this offer) is that if you choose to pay for all or a portion of your vacation package with miles, you still earn miles on your booking at the same time. This is a really unusual benefit that's only available with Delta Vacations packages. You'll be eligible to earn up to 7,500 bonus miles per traveler when booking a trip through Delta Vacations.
With multiple opportunities to earn bonus miles on flights operated by Delta and its partners, these two promotions are a great way to jump-start your progress toward status and build up your mileage balance, because you can book now to lock in your pricing for travel up to 330 days in advance.
So what are you waiting for? Get in on this last-chance opportunity now!
