If someone shared this with you, hi! We'd love to send the next one straight to you - sign up here

Helloooo,

I am currently writing this from the Mercure Mountain Lodge in Queensland! It’s an Accor hotel and thanks to status (ty to the Accor+ membership), we’ve been upgraded to a suite for free!💃🏻

I haven’t seen the Accor+ membership go on sale for a little while, but there is a decent offer atm (see below), where you get bonus points instead of a cash discount. Still great value imo if you travel a few times a year.

There’s a very fun gift card offer this week as well 👀

Travel offer ✈️

25% Cashback on Trivago through TopCashback

📝 How it works

TopCashback is offering 25% cashback when you book hotels through Trivago using their tracked link.

To earn cashback:

  • Log into your TopCashback account

  • Click through to Trivago

  • Complete your booking in the same session

  • Cashback tracks once the booking is confirmed and pays out after your stay

If you’ve new to TopCashback, you can sign up using my referral link to receive a $40 sign up bonus.

💡 What that’s worth

  • A $600 hotel booking could return up to $150

  • You can stack this with the discounted rates already shown on Trivago

  • The bonus $40 sign up adds even more value on your booking

If you’re planning a trip, this is an easy way to save on your accommodation costs!

⚠️ Things to keep in mind

  • Cashback only pays after your stay

  • Don’t use ad-blockers or private browsing otherwise it won’t track

  • Switching apps can break the click-through

  • Always compare the final price - sometimes there will be cheaper rates available without cashback

Early access alert 🚀

Finally, a net worth tracker that’s actually easy to use

Why it’s worth it:

  • Two easy-to-use tabs

  • Choose from light or dark themes

  • A summary page that gives you the perfect big picture overview

  • Auto calculates your total net worth and progress over time

We’re giving newsletter subscribers first access before the official launch!

Bonus points offer⚡️

2,000 Bonus ALL Accor+ Rewards Points



🛒 How it works

Accor is offering 2,000 bonus ALL Reward Points when you sign up for a new Accor+ Explorer membership through this promo. These points are on top of the usual membership benefits.

When you join:

  • Sign up for the Accor+ Explorer membership

  • Pay the annual fee (currently $349/year)

  • Your 2,000 bonus points are credited after your membership is processed

💡 What it’s worth

The 2,000 bonus points are worth ~$71 when redeemed for hotel stays at brands like Sofitel, Pullman, Mövenpick, Novotel and Mercure.

On top of that, the membership itself includes:

  • Two Stay Plus “free night” each membership year, which work as buy one, get one free nights at participating hotels across Asia Pacific

  • Access to Red Hot Rooms, with up to 50% off selected stays during promos

  • Ongoing hotel discounts outside those promos

  • Dining benefits at participating restaurants (30% off food and 15% off drinks)

  • Instant Gold status in the ALL loyalty program

If you stay at Accor properties a couple of times a year, the Stay Plus nights + dining perks can easily outweigh the annual fee, the bonus points just add more value on top.

⚠️ Things to keep in mind

  • The bonus applies only to new Explorer memberships

  • Annual membership fees apply

  • ALL Reward Points expire after 12 months of no activity

  • Best value if you stay or dine at Accor hotels a few times a year

Gift card offer 💳

15% off TCN gift cards at Coles



🛒 How it works

  • $50 & $100 TCN Choice

  • $50 TCN Pamper

  • $50, $100 & $200 Good Food

If you're buying Christmas gifts, sportswear, tech, dining, or movie vouchers, getting $100 of value for $85 stretches your money further. These can also stack with existing sales. For example, using a discounted TCN Shop card during a Black Friday promo effectively gives you two layers of savings.
