Credit and Debit Card Sign-Up Bonuses
Several co-branded debit and credit cards are offering increased sign-up bonuses for a limited period. These offers are detailed in the table below.
| Card | Increased Bonus | Standard Bonus | End Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hilton Honors Plus Debit Card | 50,000 Hilton Honors points | 15,000 points | 7th September |
| Marriott Bonvoy Premium Debit Card | 40,000 Bonvoy points | 15,000 points | 15th September |
| Standard Marriott Bonvoy Debit Card | 15,000 Bonvoy points | 5,000 points | 15th September |

The Hilton debit card offer also includes five additional Elite Qualifying Nights. Head for Points states that the bonuses for the Marriott debit cards are available even to those who hold the Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card or another Currensea-issued card. The business card bonus is available to sole traders and SMEs, even if they hold a personal BA Amex.
Hotel Points Purchase Promotions
Four major hotel chains are running promotions that provide a bonus when members buy points directly. These offers provide a way to top up loyalty accounts.
| Hotel Program | Purchase Bonus | End Date |
|---|---|---|
| Hilton Honors | 100% bonus | 5th September |
| IHG One Rewards | Up to 100% bonus | 1st September 2026 |
| Marriott Bonvoy | Up to 50% bonus | 9th September |
| World of Hyatt | 20% discount (25% bonus) | 5th October |
Head for Points notes that the Marriott Bonvoy bonus may be lower for some members. The World of Hyatt offer is framed as a discount but is equivalent to a 25% bonus on points purchased.
