Limited-Time Credit Card Deals
Several UK hotel-branded debit cards have increased their sign-up bonuses for a limited period. The Hilton Honors Plus Debit Card is offering 50,000 bonus points instead of the usual 15,000, plus five Elite Qualifying Nights, until 7th September.
Two Marriott Bonvoy debit cards also have enhanced offers until 15th September. The premium card's bonus is increased to 40,000 points from 15,000, while the standard card's bonus is raised to 15,000 points from 5,000. Head for Points notes that these bonuses are available even to existing holders of the Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card.
Where to Credit Stays
The website advises that the 'best' offer depends on individual travel patterns and the ability to use accrued points. It highlights a double points promotion from Accor for properties in Europe and North Africa, including the UK. This offer requires registration before booking by 13th September for stays between 7th September and 27th December, with a minimum two-night stay. Existing bookings do not qualify.
World of Hyatt is also running a stay-based promotion, though registration for it closed on 1st September. The offer provides 2,000 bonus points for every two nights stayed, cash or reward, starting from the second stay, with a cap of 8,000 points. It runs for stays from 1st July to 7th September, and existing bookings count.
The report states that a new Hilton promotion is believed to be launching soon. For luxury hotel bookings, Head for Points mentions it can provide exclusive additional benefits at chains like Four Seasons and Mandarin Oriental through a partner service.
