Paze, a new digital wallet backed by the same company behind Zelle, is giving up to $10 back on purchases of $10 or more, up to 10 times per eligible card, for up to $100 back per card, or up to $300 with three eligible cards. Link your card through your bank's digital wallet settings, then choose Paze at checkout instead of entering your card manually. No registration is required, and the credit typically posts within two billing cycles, through September 10.

American Express Membership Rewards® is running a 30% transfer bonus to British Airways through September 27, turning the usual 1:1 rate into 1:1.3, but the smartest move may be what you do after the points land. Once transferred, miles can be moved again to Qatar Airways, Finnair, Iberia, or Aer Lingus for stronger value, including real savings on routes like JetBlue Mint. This bonus shows up about once a year, worth acting on if you're sitting on Amex points.

Frontier's new all-you-can-fly pass costs $199 for nearly seven months of flights through early January, with each flight costing basically just the taxes and fees, though seats are limited and blackout dates apply around major holidays. World of Hyatt also has a promo worth registering for now. Complete three qualifying nights at a participating all-inclusive resort in Mexico, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, or Costa Rica between January and March to earn a free night award at any Category 1 to 4 hotel, up to five times, through June 30, 2027.
