Blitz Deals - Weekend Blitz http://weekendblitz.com Sun, 07 Jan 2018 14:48:39 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 Blitz Deal: ~$614 RT Raleigh, Baltimore, Boston or Chicago to Beijing-PEK in New Delta A350 Premium Select http://weekendblitz.com/blitz-deal-thanksgiving-christmas-bali-532-roundtrip-2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=blitz-deal-thanksgiving-christmas-bali-532-roundtrip-2 http://weekendblitz.com/blitz-deal-thanksgiving-christmas-bali-532-roundtrip-2/#respond Sun, 07 Jan 2018 14:48:39 +0000 http://weekendblitz.com?p=25505&preview=true&preview_id=25505 This fare first popped up about 2 weeks ago, but it’s still alive so I thought others might find it useful!

The Deal

Active departure airports: Raleigh-RDU, Baltimore-BWI, Boston-BOS, Chicago-ORD, Chicago-MDW

Destination: Beijing, China-PEK
Active dates: Depends on the departure city but around January 2018 to April 2018.
Price range: $614-696 depending on the dates and the departure city.
You can pretty easily include a stopover at Detroit-DTW on either the outbound or return trip–but no idea why you would want to do that.
This deal is for the NEW Delta Premium Select cabin on their brand new A350s. The new cabin is a proper premium economy cabin, similar to what the European or Asian carriers have been offering for years. According to Delta, the seats feature 75% more recline and 8″ more legroom than traditional economy.

How to Get It

Head to Google.com/flights
Enter departure airport as “RDU,BWI,BOS,MDW,ORD” (this will show you all of the options from the area) and arrival airport as “PEK“
Select “Premium Economy” as the class of service

Everything for this deal will route through Detroit-DTW since that is the only route that Delta is currently flying it’s new A350 to Beijing-PEK, so if you want to limit your search to just 1-stop itineraries, you can click to limit the connection airport to only DTW. If you leave this blank or set to “Any connection”, you see all of the multi-stop itineraries that will most likely also go through Atlanta-ATL, Cincinnati-CVG, New York-JFK, etc.

View the calendar to see the lowest fares available:

Select your preferred flight times. A few things to watch out for here:

Make sure your long-haul routes are from Detroit-DTW to Beijing-PEK and double check that the aircraft is an A350 in Premium Economy.
The great news with Delta’s new service is that if you book Premium Select for your international routes, the domestic segments book into First Class. Double check that this is the case.

At this stage, you can click to book directly with Delta or, if you search the route directly on the Delta website, you can view a few more options.

Don’t forget:

If you book with Delta, you can book today and will have 24 hours for a free cancellation.
Delta’s Premium Select earns a 50% MQM bonus, so this trip would net 21,000+ MQMs, meaning you’ve nearly earned Silver Medallion with one trip.

BOTTOM LINE:

This is a pretty awesome deal to try out Delta’s new Premium Select cabin for just about $100 more than economy. Redeeming miles for the same cabin would cost ~128,000 SkyMiles so this fare is quite a bargain. As an added bonus, the domestic segments book into Delta First and the MQM bonus will yield 20k+ MQMs for elite status qualification.

How to Get It

Head to Flying Blue here to see full list of routes: Promo Awards
Reference our How-to: Booking Air France/KLM flight post
Book between November 1 – 30, 2015
Enjoy your savings!

 

Don’t forget: 

Booking for this deal runs from November 1 to November 30, 2015
“Reservations must be made exclusively on www.airfrance.com or www.klm.com (except for bookings for children, infants and minors, who are not authorized to book an award on the website).”
You’ll still get hit with fuel surcharges!

The Deal

From April 6 – June 28, 2015, you’ll earn:

3x the Club Carlson Gold Points typically earned (an additional 40 points/dollar spent)
1,000 bonus Club Carlson Gold Points for booking with the mobile app

…With no limits to the amount of points earned!

How to Get It

Register here Club Carlson: “Triple Points Time” by June 27 or before checkout of your first eligible stay.
Book your Club Carlson stays, remembering to use their mobile app for each booking to ensure an additional 1,000 bonus points are earned.
Check back within a few days after completing your stay to verify that your points were posted.

Analysis

In all, this is a pretty slick promotion. Here’s a sample booking based upon a 2 night stay at a rate of $89 which shows what you stand to gain:

Here’s the calculation for those that have the Club Carlson credit card; Gold Elite level is highlighted because all Club Carlson credit card holders are automatically upgraded to this level:

Here’s a scenario where a Club Carlson Credit Card holder books a 1-night stay at $69 and earns 91.5x points per $ spent!

Bonus Calculator

How much do you stand to gain from this promo? Is it worth it to switch stays over to Club Carlson? We can help you decide! Simply input a few details on your sample stay and we’ll do all of the work, telling you how many points you stand to gain and how far those points will get you in terms of a free night redemption.

Don’t forget: 

As always, “Promotion is valid for Eligible Stays” only.
Promotion is valid between January 12, 2015 and March 29, 2015.
Award stays are not valid: “Stays or nights paid for by redeeming Gold Points or by using Points + Cash are not eligible for this Promotion”.
There is no limit to the amount of Bonus Gold points that can be earned via this promotion.
The “Bonus Award Nights – When you redeem Gold Points for 2 or more consecutive Award Nights, your last night is free” deal for Club Carlson credit card holders goes away June 1, 2015.

BOTTOM LINE: This is a very lucrative promotion for the Spring/Summer season when most brands scale back on promotions as it’s busy travel season and they typically don’t need to incentivize people. The earning amounts (especially for those with the Club Carlson credit card) are unrivaled–just don’t forget that the last night free benefit on the Club Carlson card is going away June 1, 2015.

  2. Book your Club Carlson stays, remembering to use their mobile app for each booking to ensure an additional 1,000 bonus points are earned.
  3. Check back within a few days after completing your stay to verify that your points were posted.

Analysis

In all, this is a pretty slick promotion. Here’s a sample booking based upon a 2 night stay at a rate of $89 which shows what you stand to gain:

2015-04-08_18-07-22

Here’s the calculation for those that have the Club Carlson credit card; Gold Elite level is highlighted because all Club Carlson credit card holders are automatically upgraded to this level:

2015-04-08_18-18-48

Here’s a scenario where a Club Carlson Credit Card holder books a 1-night stay at $69 and earns 91.5x points per $ spent!

Bonus Calculator

How much do you stand to gain from this promo? Is it worth it to switch stays over to Club Carlson? We can help you decide! Simply input a few details on your sample stay and we’ll do all of the work, telling you how many points you stand to gain and how far those points will get you in terms of a free night redemption.

Don’t forget: 

  • As always, “Promotion is valid for Eligible Stays” only.
  • Promotion is valid between January 12, 2015 and March 29, 2015.
  • Award stays are not valid: “Stays or nights paid for by redeeming Gold Points or by using Points + Cash are not eligible for this Promotion”.
  • There is no limit to the amount of Bonus Gold points that can be earned via this promotion.
  • The “Bonus Award Nights – When you redeem Gold Points for 2 or more consecutive Award Nights, your last night is free” deal for Club Carlson credit card holders goes away June 1, 2015.

BOTTOM LINE: This is a very lucrative promotion for the Spring/Summer season when most brands scale back on promotions as it’s busy travel season and they typically don’t need to incentivize people. The earning amounts (especially for those with the Club Carlson credit card) are unrivaled–just don’t forget that the last night free benefit on the Club Carlson card is going away June 1, 2015.

Analysis

By: Aero Icarus – CC BY-NC-SA 2.0

I really like the idea of pairing 2 of these deals together and pulling off something like:

Boston-BOS –> Amsterdam-AMS or Munich-MUC for 18,750 miles + ~$97 (25% off)
Paris-CDG or Nice-NCE –> Sint Maarten-SXM for 15,000 miles (50% off) + ~$114
Sint Maarten-SXM or San Juan-SJU to Boston-BOS (no discount for this one) for 12,500 miles + ~$23

Total = 46,000 miles + ~$234 in taxes for a European and Caribbean vacation all-in-one

Don’t forget: 

Booking for this deal runs from April 1 to April 30, 2014
“Reservations must be made exclusively on www.airfrance.com or www.klm.com (except for bookings for children, infants and minors, who are not authorized to book an award on the website).”
You’ll still get hit with fuel surcharges!
We’ve got a How-to Guide for booking flights with Flying Blue points.

BOTTOM LINE: Over 56 cities! And to Europe in the summer, no less! Not a bad round for this Air France/KLM promo. We like the Boston-BOS for 18,750 miles in Economy, New York-JFK for 25,000 miles in Premium Economy or Minneapolis-MSP for 31,250 miles in Business Class the best. Why not pair 2 of the deals and go to Europe and the Caribbean for around 46k miles?

BOTTOM LINE:  Some members will be offered 2k bonus points for 1 stay and wish they had the 65k offer, others will be in the exact opposite boat. Either way, this is what Hyatt feels like giving you for your business during this promo period. I was personally offered the 65k bonus and, given my travel plans until April 30, am quite happy with the bonus as it will prove to be lucrative for me.

The Deal

From January 12 – March 29, 2015, you’ll earn:

15,000 bonus Club Carlson Gold Points for stays 2+ nights long
30,000 bonus Club Carlson Gold Points for stays 3+ nights long

…With no limits to the amount of points earned!

How to Get It

Register here Club Carlson: “Extend Your Stay, Earn 30K” by March 29 or before checkout of your first eligible stay.
Book your Club Carlson stays, remembering that 1 night stays earn you 0 bonus points, 2 night stays yield 15,000 bonus points and 3+ night stays will earn the highest rate of 30,000 bonus points.
Check back within a few days after completing your stay to verify that your points were posted.

Analysis

In all, this is a pretty slick promotion. Here’s a sample booking based upon a 2-3 night stay at a rate of $89 which shows what you stand to gain:

Here’s a look at how you could redeem those extra Club Carlson bonus points:

Example based upon $89 per night stay; a non-elite member could earn enough bonus points to cash in on close to 4 free nights at a Category 1 property with this promo

Here’s the calculation for those that have the Club Carlson credit card; Gold Elite level is highlighted because all Club Carlson credit card holders are automatically upgraded to this level:

Club Carlson credit card holders that complete a 3-night stay can earn as much as 40,000+ Club Carlson Gold Points = enough for up to 8+ free nights at a Category 1 Property!

Those members with the Club Carlson credit card can take advantage of “Bonus Award Nights” that allow you to get the final award night free on stays 2+ nights long. This effectively doubles the value of your award points. A simple 3-night stay at a cheap $89 Club Carlson property can yield 5+ nights at a Category 2 property such as the Park Inn by Radisson Budapest. I did a sample booking at this property and the total price comes in at $79.38 x 5 nights = $396.90 in value for a 3-night stay!

Simply input a few details on your sample stay and we’ll do all of the work, telling you how many points you stand to gain and how far those points will get you in terms of a free night redemption.
