Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Changes to HfP posting over the summer

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

The kids are off school and the travel marketing machine has started to wind down.  There are few people at their desks to be interested in their special offers – and most people wait to get their summer holiday out of the way before thinking about Christmas or Easter.

To reflect the lack of activity, as I did last year, Head for Points is dropping down to two articles a day from tomorrow until the end of August.  (Technically, it has gone down to two articles a day from today if you don’t count this as a proper article.)

Sylt

If there is a rush of news then I will go back to three on the occasions but I don’t want to be scraping the barrel every day for three interesting ideas.

It also, of course, makes life easier for me given that we will also be away a lot over the next few weeks.  Including to Sylt, pictured above, which should make an interesting trip report.

Don’t worry though – you can be certain that all of the key frequent flyer and hotel loyalty deals will still be covered!

    One post a day would do just fine this month, why push yourself! Then, if a great new offer comes along, just do.an extra post. Enjoy your travels!

  • Mikeact says:

    Enjoy Sylt..great beaches, terrific food…watch out for rough seas. Bonus…not many Brits, mostly Germans, of course, and lots of Dutch when we were there, late 90’s.

    Fabulous work and a fabulous site Raffles, the first place I visit when I wake up every morning, have a great holiday… OT – has anyone got their free Marriott hotel night voucher yet?

  • Alex says:

    Hello there, would you recommend booking a BA holiday to New York until after the Summer, i.e. September time? we will be going 12 to 18 December and at the moment I could get it for £2,260 for six nights but its for my husbands’s 50th so I was hoping to treat him and go business class, which at the moment equates to £6,000k plus! You are the expert, what would you do?
    I’ve tried to use my airmiles with no joy as there is no availability (surprise, surprise).
    Your insight is much appreciated.

      Note to self: must put the homework in if you want the big savings. Clearly.

      • Alex says:

        Thank you for the advice. I spent all day looking at so many different ways to do this that my mind turned to mush! I decided to post here as everyone is so knowlegable and not to avoid doing my homework.
        Thank you all again
