Deal alert: Points and miles travel deals for January 2026
Editor's Note
From bonus points on your next hotel stay to generous sales on airline miles, we're always looking for travel deals that help you earn more points and miles and allow you to redeem them for maximum value. In other words, we want to help you book the vacation of your dreams.
This month, we found nonstop flights to Egypt for as few as 40,000 Air Canada Aeroplan points. Plus, you can earn hotel status quickly with one of these status matches and challenges, and Delta Air Lines-American Express cards are offering up to 125,000 bonus Delta SkyMiles.
We help our readers each week by rounding up 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 2026)
Airline loyalty programs can offer trip discounts on specific dates, as well as the opportunity to earn more points or miles for future travel and exclusive deals to accumulate points or miles toward elite status. Below are some of the best offers we found for January.
Earn double miles on Delta gift cards
If you're thinking of gifting a loved one a Delta gift card, this promotion is for you. Delta is offering double SkyMiles on gift cards purchased through Feb. 16. You could also buy a gift card for yourself if you plan to fly Delta in the near future, scoring some extra miles and getting closer to your next award flight.
Gift cards may be used for travel on Delta-marketed flights, including those operated as Delta Connection and by Delta codeshare partners with a Delta flight number, as well as toward Delta Vacations packages that include Delta airfare.
Earn bonus Flying Blue miles on hotel stays
The Air France-KLM Flying Blue program often has some great deals on award flights to Europe. Right now, you can earn 30% bonus miles when you book a paid stay at one of the nearly 500,000 properties on Flying Blue's Hotels for Miles site.
Make your reservation by Feb. 26. Your miles will be deposited within 45 days of completing your stay or within four days of making a nonrefundable booking.

Hotel loyalty program promotions (January 2026)
Hotel loyalty programs occasionally offer discounted stays and new ways to earn extra points. Here are some January deals to consider when booking your next stay.
Earn up to 5,000 bonus miles on a hotel stay with Rove Miles
Last year's debut loyalty program Rove Miles hasn't lost momentum. It's offering another first-time hotel bonus for those who haven't yet booked a hotel through Rove Miles, but you'll have to act fast. This is only available through Sunday, Feb. 1.
You can earn 2,500 bonus miles when you spend at least $500 on your first hotel booking with code "MILESBOOST500" or 5,000 bonus miles after spending $1,000 or more on your first hotel booking with code "MILESBOOST1000." These stack with the miles you would normally earn, as well as the program's new Miles Boost feature.
Stack Best Western offers in North America and the Caribbean
Best Western has not one, but two promotions right now.
If you book by Sunday, Feb. 1, you can earn 2,600 bonus Best Western Rewards points on every stay through May 10, up to a maximum of 26,000 bonus points. This applies to any Best Western-branded hotel in the U.S., Canada or the Caribbean.
This offer may be targeted; log in here to see if you're eligible and register.
Even better, you can stack your bonus points with this gift card offer from Best Western. Stay three nights at any Best Western-branded hotel in the U.S., Canada or the Caribbean between Feb. 2 and May 10, and you'll receive a $50 Best Western gift card. Be sure to register before you book.
You can earn up to three gift cards per member during this promotion. Promotional gift cards are valid at participating hotels globally, excluding WorldHotels properties, through Aug. 2.
