Current Travel Offers - October 16, 2024

Offers from Singapore Airlines, Royal Caribbean and Virgin Voyages

In partnership with

Hi Fellow Traveler,

It’s time for the weekly offers…

Today’s sponsor is beehiiv; just in case you’re looking to start a newsletter. This newsletter is sent using beehiiv and I love it. Yeah, I know it’s spelled funny :-).

When I first started traveling I didn’t use tour guides as I’m too impulsive. But as I traveled more I realized that you miss things when you don’t use a Guide.

One of the best Guides I’ve had is from Walks of Italy, now Walks. It was a tour of the Vatican. A special tour that started in the early morning; it’s called Pristine Sisteen Chapel Tour. You can read a review at that link or you can just go book it directly here.

Here’s what I have to highlight this week:

  • Virgin Voyages, 70% off second sailor special

  • Royal Caribbean, 60% off the second guest; Kids Free (restrictions apply)

  • Singapore Airlines November Spontaneous Escapes

  • Tours With My Partner Walks

Plus in the Tips section, I talk about Delta and Virgin Voyages credit cards.

TOURS WITH MY PARTNER WALKS

MILES/POINTS TIP

Activate and Maximize Credit Card Bonus Categories

Do you have a credit card that offers rotating bonus categories each quarter, like 5% cashback or extra points

Don't miss out on these enhanced rewards by forgetting to activate them! By enrolling each quarter, you can earn significantly more miles or points on everyday purchases like groceries, dining, or online shopping.

How to Make the Most of It:

  1. Set Reminders:

    • Mark your calendar or set an alert at the beginning of each quarter to activate new bonus categories.

  2. Adjust Your Spending:

    • Use the card with the bonus category for relevant purchases to maximize your rewards.

  3. Combine Offers:

    • Stack these bonuses with retailer promotions or shopping portals for even greater earnings.

Pro Tip: Some cards cap the amount of bonus rewards you can earn each quarter. Keep track of your spending to ensure you're maximizing but not exceeding the limit.
