This month’s points‑and‑miles sales feature some solid offers. If you’re planning redemptions or need to top up a loyalty account, now might be a good time to act.

Here are some of the highlights:

• Choice Privileges: Up to 40% discount when you buy 4,000–180,000 points by 25 August. That drops the cost to as low as 0.618 cents/point. Buy points here.
• Hilton Honors: 100% bonus on purchases of 5,000–160,000 points through 25 September, bringing the price down to about 0.5 cents/point. Get your Hilton points here.
• World of Hyatt: 20% bonus on buys of 5,000–66,000 points until 6 October. Purchase Hyatt points here.
• Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan: Up to 60% bonus on miles purchased through 16 August. Top up your Alaska miles here.

Remember, buying points only makes sense if you have a near‑term redemption in mind where the cost will be lower than paying cash.

Bottom line

With multiple programmes running decent sales and bonuses, August is potentially an opportune month to stock up on points or miles. Check each programme’s deadline carefully – some end in days – and only purchase what you know you’ll redeem soon.
