I receive emails all the time regarding different offers from various companies promoting this or that. Well, they've built up and I didn't know what to do with them all (I couldn't even think of a good headline, suggestions in the comments please), so here is a rundown on some of the best offers I've been sent ranging from 45,000 bonus Virgin Points to free Disney dining, 25% off SAS reward flights, discounted Hilton points, and extra Nectar on your eBay shopping, enjoy!

Amex Platinum: 45,000 Virgin Points on a Virgin Atlantic flight
If you hold an American Express Platinum card, check your inbox. Amex is running a targeted offer giving 45,000 Virgin Points for booking and flying a Virgin Atlantic Upper Class or Premium flight.
This offer only applies if you've had the email from Amex. It doesn't appear in the Amex app, and you have to accept it through the email link before you book.
Book between 14 May and 10 June 2026, directly with Virgin Atlantic, with your Flying Club number on the booking, and fly by 29 October 2026. Bookings made with Virgin Points will not count. The points land within 72 hours of completing the flight.
45,000 points is a strong haul, enough for a one-way Upper Class reward between London and New York with change to spare. Just don't let it talk you into a premium fare you weren't otherwise going to buy.
Full T's&C's on this one can be found here.
Virgin Atlantic Holidays: free Disney dining for 2027
The free dining deal is back on selected 2027 Walt Disney World Resort packages. What you get depends on the resort tier:
Disney Deluxe Resort: free Table-Service Dining Plan plus £400 off per room
Disney Moderate Resort: free Quick-Service Dining Plan plus £300 off per room
Disney Value Resort: free Quick-Service Meal plus £200 off per room
Use code DISNEY2027 at checkout. Park tickets have to be booked with the room to qualify, and some resorts and room types are excluded. Book with Virgin Atlantic flights to Orlando or Tampa, travelling within 11 months, and there's a flight saving on top: £60 off per adult and £45 off per child.
Book by 26 May 2026 and you can hold the booking with a reduced deposit of £75 per person, with free unlimited changes. The Disney dining offer page has the full list of qualifying packages.
Virgin Atlantic Holidays: up to 40% off Maldives accommodation
Here's another Virgin Atlantic Holidays deal worth a look. Accommodation savings of up to 40% across a range of Maldives resorts, with some throwing in board upgrades or a room credit on top.
Each resort has its own book-by date and travel window, so check the Maldives offers page for the resort you're after.
SAS EuroBonus: 25% off reward fares
SAS has knocked 25% off the points price on every destination, in both Economy Bonus and Business Bonus, on one-ways and return trips. Children aged 2-11 get a 50% points discount.
Here you can see the regular points pricing for a flight. You need to be logged in to see the discounted pricing. Taxes and carrier fees are added per person and can't be paid with points.
EuroBonus is an American Express Membership Rewards transfer partner in the UK, so if you don't have any EuroBonus points you can move points across from your Membership Rewards balance.
Book by 17 May 2026. Travel between 12 May and 30 September 2026.
When looking for seats not on BA or Virgin, we recommend seats.aero or point.me, both of which we have used in the past to find seats to great effect.
Flying Blue: up to 45% off bought miles
Air France/KLM is running a Buy Miles promotion until 31 May 2026. The discount scales with how many you buy: 4,000 to 12,000 miles gets 35% off, 14,000 to 28,000 gets 40%, and 30,000 miles gets the full 45%.
Buying miles only makes sense if you've already got a specific redemption priced up and the maths works. Don't buy speculatively. If you'd rather earn than buy, Flying Blue is also an Amex transfer partner in the UK.
Just like I mentioned with SAS, when looking for seats not on BA or Virgin, we recommend seats.aero or point.me.
Hilton Honors: 100% bonus on bought points
Buy 5,000 or more Hilton Honors points and Hilton doubles them, so you get the same number again free on top. The offer runs until 29 May 2026, and points can be bought here.
Marriott Bonvoy: 30% off bought points
Marriott has 30% off points purchases until 23 June 2026, on a minimum buy of 2,000 points. You can buy up to 150,000 points in a calendar year through the buy points page.
Virgin Red: refer a friend, 2,000 points each
Refer someone to Virgin Red and you both get 2,000 Virgin Points once they join and complete their first qualifying earn transaction. You can refer up to 10 people in any 12-month period.
The 2,000-point rate runs until 1 June 2026. After that it drops back to 1,000. If you've got a referral code, drop it in the comments below so other readers can use it.
Esso: 500 Nectar points on a fill-up
You should be able to find this offer in your Nectar app, add it to your card, then fill up with at least 20 litres of Supreme+ fuel at an Esso station and swipe your Nectar card to collect 500 points. This offer runs for another six days.
eBay: 4 Nectar points per £1
Nectar's eBay rate is doubled from the usual 2 points per £1 to 4 points per £1 for about another six days.
You can't earn Nectar at the eBay checkout directly. You have to start your shop from the Nectar website and click through to eBay from there, otherwise the transaction won't track.
British Airways: win 5,000 Nectar points
BA and Nectar are running a prize draw with 10 prizes of 5,000 Nectar points each. To enter, link your Nectar and British Airways Club accounts and convert at least 400 Avios into Nectar by 27 May 2026.
The Avios to Nectar conversion bonus has ended, so you're converting at the standard rate. But 400 Avios is a small enough stake that if you fancy a punt at 5,000 Nectar points, it's not much to risk.
