For many, the last full month of summer—that means August here in the United States—makes way for one more family getaway before school starts. Otherwise, you might sneak in a cheeky goodbye-to-summer barbecue; don’t get too smug when you tell everyone how much money you saved by using points and miles this season. (Or maybe do. Be a good friend. Teach them our ways of traveling with points and miles.)

Or perhaps, the Olympics drew you to France and you have post-game adventures planned elsewhere in Europe. Wherever this month takes you, here are a few ways to squeeze every point out of those last-minute summer trips by taking advantage of the many promotions and bonus opportunities offered right now.

Accor All Live Limitless

Accor and its All Live Limitless (ALL) loyalty program says that Paris is the place to be this summer to celebrate international athletes and enjoy the city’s many sites. You can earn double or triple the number of ALL points when staying at least two nights at a participating Accor property in Paris or the broader Île de France region between now and September 30. Be sure to make your reservation by August 30 to be eligible. Reserve via the Accor app, and you’ll score another 20% points bonus.

World of Hyatt

World of Hyatt will double the points you earn when staying at its Hyatt House or Hyatt Place hotels around the world between now and October 15; register for this offer by September 15. You can earn up to 25,000 points with this promotion. Additionally, if your travels take you to the Caribbean or Latin America, members can earn 5,000 bonus points for every three nights they stay between now and October 15; register for this promotion by the end of September.

Following the addition of Mr & Mrs Smith to the World of Hyatt portfolio, members now have another option for where they can earn and redeem Hyatt points (and work their way closer to elite status): Under Canvas, a collection of upscale outdoor accommodations. Its portfolio includes 13 outdoor camping and glamping resorts, many of which are close to popular destinations like Yellowstone National Parks and the Great Smoky Mountains.

Wyndham Rewards

The longer you stay at Wyndham Rewards properties this summer, the more points you can earn. Two consecutive nights earn a 7,500-point bonus; three consecutive nights earn a 12,500-point bonus; and four nights or more in a row earn 15,000 points. Register by the end of August, and complete your stay by September 3 to earn the bonus points.

Marriott Bonvoy members who book a qualifying stay at a hotel in New York City like The New York EDITION (pictured here) are eligible for a free roundtrip Blade helicopter transfer to the airport.
