This time around, we’ve got elevated welcome offers on two popular cash-back cards, a lucrative transfer bonus on Citi’s newest airline partner and a chance to win 1 million Chase Ultimate Rewards points.
Each week, we help our readers by rounding up promotions so they don’t have to scour the internet for the best reward redemptions and offers. This includes everything from frequent flyer programs and hotel rewards programs to credit card offers and rental car deals. Here’s our latest list of noteworthy new points and miles promotions for September.
Airline loyalty program promotions (September 2026)
SEAN CUDAHY/THE POINTS GUY
Airline loyalty programs can offer trip discounts on specific dates, the opportunity to earn more points or miles for future travel and exclusive deals to accumulate points or miles toward elite status. Below is one of the best offers we found for September.
Earn 50k Atmos points on a home loan
If you’re thinking about buying a home, refinancing or taking out a home equity line of credit, you’ll want to check out this deal. Alaska Airlines’ Atmos Rewards program has teamed up with Rate.com to offer a chunk of 50,000 Atmos points — worth $775 by TPG’s September 2026 valuations — who apply through this link by Dec. 31 and are approved. Your bonus points should post within six to eight weeks of closing.
Save at Starbucks with Delta gift cards
If you need a Delta gift card, the airline’s latest offer will reward you not with extra miles, but with coffee (or your pumpkin spice beverage of choice). You can earn $10 in Starbucks eGift Cards (up to $100 total) for every $150 you spend on Delta gift cards through Oct. 12.
Plus, new Delta SkyMiles members can score up to 5,000 bonus miles when they join the program and complete various activities, including opting in to emails, dining out and taking their first flight.
