Deal alert: Points and miles travel deals for July 2024

Editor's Note

From lucrative deals for bonus points on hotel stays to generous sales of airline miles , we're finding plenty of travel deals to help you earn and redeem your points and miles so you can book the vacation of your dreams.

For July, we found deals to book American Airlines round-trip flights for just 10,000 miles, earn up to 75,000 Air Canada Aeroplan points by donating to Miles4Migrants and fly nonstop to Mexico from multiple U.S. cities from $222. But that's not all.

We help our readers each week by rounding up ongoing monthly promotions so you don't have to scour the internet for the best reward redemptions and offers. From frequent flyer programs and hotel rewards programs to credit card offers that help maximize your spending , you can make the most of your points and miles redemptions with these lucrative offers.

Here's our list of some noteworthy new points and miles promotions for July.

We've included Air France-KLM Flying Blue's status match deal for residents of the U.K., Germany, Spain and various other countries for months. However, the airline loyalty program recently rolled out the ability for U.S. residents to apply for a Flying Blue status match as well.
