The first week of the New Year is always full of new bonus offers although surprisingly there weren’t a ton of new flight offers but that was more than offset by many hotel, car rental and other offers. The next two weeks will be much of the same as I already have a large backlog of new offers to post. Be sure to check the website, blog and our social media feeds on a daily basis to see all the new offers.

Bonus Offer For Flying
As I mentioned above we didn’t add too many new flight offers but Emirates did extend their huge bonuses for DFW and SEA flights making it my pick of the week again:

Bonus Offer for Driving
I would have to say this past week saw the most new car rental offers that I have ever added in a 5 day span. Many of the offers were extensions of 2011 offers much like my pick of the week:
