Deal alert: Points and miles travel deals for October 2025

From bonus points on your next hotel stay to generous sales on airline miles, we're always looking for travel deals that help you earn more points and miles and redeem them for maximum value. In other words, we want to help you book the vacation of your dreams.

This week, we found a slew of new credit card transfer bonuses and lucrative welcome offers that can help you get closer to your next redemption. You can also fly Turkish Airlines to Istanbul for 65,000 Turkish Miles&Smiles miles — or just 44,000 Citi ThankYou Rewards points — each way. And don't forget to activate your Chase Freedom Q4 categories to supercharge your earnings through the end of the year.

We help our readers each week by rounding up ongoing promotions so they don't have to scour the internet for the best reward redemptions and offers. This includes everything from frequent flyer programs and hotel rewards programs to credit card offers and rental car deals. Here's our latest list of noteworthy new points and miles promotions for October.

Airline loyalty program promotions (October 2025)

Airline loyalty programs can offer trip discounts on certain dates, as well as the chance to earn more points or miles for future travel and deals to rack up points or miles toward elite status. Below are some of the best offers we found for October.

Earn 10,000 AAdvantage miles for switching your phone carrier

American Airlines AAdvantage miles are valuable, but with few transfer partners, they can be hard to come by.

Thanks to this deal, you can earn 10,000 bonus AAdvantage miles when you switch your wireless line from another carrier to AT&T, then activate a smartphone on your AT&T plan (buy a new phone, or bring your own device). You must also submit an AT&T redemption form with your AAdvantage number within 14 days of activating your new line and keep your AT&T service active and in good standing for at least 60 days from activation.

This offer ends Oct. 31. See this page for full terms and conditions.

Hotel loyalty program promotions (October 2025)

Hotel loyalty programs occasionally offer discounted stays and new ways to earn extra points. Here are some October deals to consider when booking your next stay.

Earn unlimited bonus points on Hilton stays

Hilton's latest promotion is offering 1,500 bonus Hilton Honors points on every eligible stay through Dec. 31, with no limit to the number of bonus points you can earn. Since points are awarded per stay, not per night, you can make the most of this promotion by booking multiple shorter stays.

Register here, then book and complete your stay(s) by Dec. 31.

Earn up to 30,000 Wyndham bonus points

Wyndham is running a lucrative promotion that can earn you up to 30,000 bonus Wyndham Rewards points. That's worth up to $330 based on our October 2025 valuations, and since Wyndham's award chart starts at 7,500 points per night, it could be enough for up to four free nights.

After you register, you can earn 7,500 bonus points per two qualifying nights at participating hotels worldwide, up to a maximum of 30,000 bonus points. Register and book by Jan. 16, 2026, then complete your stay(s) by Jan. 20, 2026.

Earn 15,000 Marriott points at Mexico all-inclusive resorts

If colder weather has you dreaming of a beach getaway, consider this deal from Marriott Bonvoy. You can earn 15,000 bonus points per stay at five participating resorts in the Mexican Caribbean, as long as you stay at least three nights.

Book with promo code "S2449" by Nov. 9 for stays through Nov. 24.

Double or triple your IHG earnings

If you're planning multiple hotel stays this fall or winter, this offer from IHG One Rewards is for you.

After you register, you'll earn double IHG points on your second stay and triple points on your third, fourth and future stays through Dec. 31 — up to a cap of 70,000 bonus points. This could potentially be quite lucrative if you need a lot of lodging for your upcoming travels (or if you're planning a mattress run for IHG elite status).
