Here are our picks of the week for the second last full week of August:
Bonus Offer For Flying
This was another week of many route specific bonus offers but it came down to Middle East Airlines or Delta for top spot, and we have to give it to Delta:
Delta Skymiles: Double SkyMiles each time you fly a Delta flight or a flight on SkyTeam® members Air France, KLM or Alitalia, and an Alaska Airlines/Horizon Air flight on the same ticket. Register Online (Registration is required) then book online at Delta.com Sep 15 – Nov 15, 10
Bonus Offer For Staying (Airline Miles)
Although New Otani Hotels is offering some huge bonuses with three major American carriers, the geographic coverage of the offers are limited so we have to go with this offer from AF KLM & Marriott:

Bonus Offer For Other Activities
There were no spectacular other activity offers this week and this one may not be the best nor apply to many of our readers but it is for a good cause so we have made it our top pick:
