Three current miles and points promotions

There are several promotions that are currently on, but I found these three to be of interest to me.

Triple JP Miles with Hilton Worldwide Hotels

Jet Airways is offering triple JP miles on stays at any Hilton property worldwide, between 1 September and 30 November 2014.




This means you earn 3 JP miles per $1 of spend, as opposed to the normal earning rate of 1 JP mile per $1. Since this involves selecting your earnings style as "points & miles", it means you won't be eligible for any bonus points promotions that Hilton themselves offer. You can register for the promotion from the landing page here, which needs to be done before your check-out after the stay. The T&Cs can be found at the bottom of the landing page.

I'm in two minds about this offer - on the one hand, I love HHonors points, because for many of their hotels that I'd like to stay at, the redemption requirements are quite low at the moment - starting 5k points a night. On the other hand, earning JP miles may be relevant for some others, because of JP's new structure where YQ fuel surcharges are eliminated, but are compensated by higher points requirements for award tickets.


Refer friends and earn up to 25,000 bonus Citibank Premier Miles

Citibank is out with a promo, valid till 30 September 2014, that offers up to 25,000 bonus Citibank PM miles for referring friends to sign up for the Citibank PM card.


The referral bonus is 5,000 Citi PM miles for each person that you refer that ends up getting a Citi PM card issued. You can make a referral using the form here. You'll also find the T&Cs here. Remember, this bonus is capped at 25k miles. Also, if two people refer the same individual, then the one that referred first gets the miles. And to be eligible for this offer, you must refer only using the online form I've linked to above (this is Citibank's form, not mine). Also, the referred person needs to apply for the card within one month from the date of referral.

SPG Triple Crave - 3x points on F&B spends

SPG is offering 3x points on F&B purchases at its hotels, between Monday and Thursday each week, till 30 December 2014 (some dates excluded, such as Christmas Eve and Christmas Day). There's a minimum after-discount spend of $50 (or equivalent - Rs 3,000 approximately) that's required, and you need not be staying at the hotel.


This offer earns you 6 points per $1 of spend, compared to the normal earning of 2 points per $1. Registration is required, and must be completed before 30 November 2014. If you're staying at the hotel, make sure the spend is posted to your folio that includes your SPG number. If you're only visiting-dining, make sure you carry your SPG card with you, and as always, retain a copy of the bills till the points post. There are 67 participating restaurants in India (and hundreds worldwide) for this offer - you can look up the full list here, and the T&Cs here.

Bonus - IHG promotion reminder

As a bonus, here's a reminder of IHG's Into the Nights promotion. If you haven't registered for it, you should do so now. The promo generates more than reasonable interest for me personally, but YMMV.
