Award search tools
There are many sites and apps out there to help you find the best award flight deals and simplify the process of redeeming your points and miles — and they often charge a fee to get the most out of them. Thankfully, several of the
best award search tools
are on sale for Black Friday.
Expert Flyer

This tool (owned by TPG’s parent company, Red Ventures) is offering 30% off a premium yearly plan with code “BLACKFRIDAY30,” but TPG readers can save even more with code “TPG40” for a 40% discount. Since premium plans cost $99.99 per year, you can get one for just $60 with the TPG code.

Flight deal alert memberships

mistake fares
, allowing you to jump on them before they are snapped up. Again, there’s usually a free version, but you can get far more from the paid plans.

The best credit cards for Black Friday travel deals
FIORDALISO/GETTY IMAGES
Which credit card should you use for your purchase? That depends.
For flights and stays, we’d recommend using a card that earns bonus points on airfare and hotel purchases, such as:
American Express® Gold Card
: Earn 3 points per dollar spent on airfare booked directly with the airline.
American Express Platinum Card®
: Earn 5 points per dollar spent on airfare booked directly with the airline (on up to $500,000 of these purchases per calendar year, then 1 point per dollar).
Chase Sapphire Reserve®
(see
rates and fees
): Earn 4 points per dollar spent on flights booked directly with the airline and hotel stays booked directly with the hotel.
For independent hotels, cruises, booking platforms, small-group tours and other general travel purchases, consider
one of the best cards for general travel
. For instance, the
Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card
(see
rates and fees
) earns 2 points per dollar spent on travel.
For purchases that may not code as travel, such as award search tools and flight deal alert memberships, your best bet will be a card that earns bonus rewards on everyday purchases. For example, the
Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card
and
Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card
earn 2 miles per dollar spent on every purchase.
