When I think of good deals, I think of airline and hotel promos or mistake fares.

Like the long foresaken Hyatt FFNs, the SPG Stay3Get1 resort nights, or for airlines double-EQM and mistake fares, even the (accidental?) SQ release of F seats to other FF programs. As some blogsters have posted, we are unlikely to see any good promos so long as business is strong and loads/occupancy are high.

Credit cards promos come and go, and mean little to those of us who have neither the time nor inclination to churn (nor IME any use for Carlson points).

I guess the beauty of the bonus is in the eye of the beholder.
