7. Thanks Again
When you’re traveling, it’s pretty much inevitable that you’re going to be dropping some cash at an airport, right? Whether it’s a quick meal or a bottle of water or a souvenir for the kids, Thanks Again is almost designed to blunt the edge of those high airport prices. For every dollar you spend in an airport, you get a little bit back. It’s a pretty sweet deal.
8. IHG Rewards Club
If you’re the kind of traveler who hits big cities for business, or you’re the kind of person who feels the call of the crowds, there’s the InterContinental Hotel Group’s Rewards Club. If you’re in big cities like New York and Chicago on a regular basis, you can earn rewards at nearly five thousand participating hotels. The group includes Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza and Kimpton hotels, among others.
9. Stash Rewards
While it might be much smaller than a lot of its competition, you can’t get much friendlier than the Stash Hotel Rewards program. It focuses on boutique independent hotels across the US and the Caribbean, including plenty of pet-friendly establishments if Fido wants to come along on your trip. There are no blackout dates on this program and — since travelers earn 5 points for every dollar spent and the redemption rates are pretty cheap — travelers may just find themselves earning lots of free rooms in next to no time.
