Points and Miles on Sale

It seems like every major loyalty program is selling miles at a discount this month.

SPG points up to 25% off

• American is offering a monster bonus on purchased mils through 11/30/15
• Starwood is offering SPG points at (up to) a 25% discount through 12/31/15
• Hyatt is offering a 30% bonus on Gold Passport points through 11/30/15

While I wouldn't speculatively purchase miles/points here (especially given the recent rash of mergers/devaluations) it's worth a look if you are a few miles (or a few thousand) short of an award.  Availability is often tight and buying miles in a pinch can help you lock in an airline or hotel award without waiting as most purchased points post instantly.
