Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Important dates for your diary – offers about to close which you shouldn’t miss (March ’24)

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

The aim of this feature is to summarise flight, hotel and points offers that are ending soon.  Everything listed below has been covered on HfP in recent weeks, but years of experience of running offers for HfP readers has made it very clear that a large proportion like to leave things to the last minute ….

It pulls together the different deals mentioned in our daily articles and on our Top Avios Points Earning Offers, Top Hotel Bonus Points Offers and Top UK Credit Card Offers pages.

    New IHG offer appeared in my account & emailed to me (so may be targeted) Up to 14 bonus elite night credits. Earn 1 bonus elite night credit every night on your next stay (up to 7 nights) starts 28 March ends 23 May.
