Hopper is having a flash sale where they allow for up to 25% off select hotels and up to $100 off select flights. The full list of todays discounts is available on our website. These Hopper deals are vary common, usually once a month or so. You can easily be informed when these Hopper sales start by setting up your app notifications.
Pair this sale with a quick Google Flights search and you can usually get a fairly decent flight pairing.
This sale is about on par with what we’ve seen in the past. There are a lot of crappy $15/$20 discounts in the list, so we’re focusing on the discounts that are greater than $25. They’re at the top of the list with a star. Watch out for websites and blogs that are pairing this deal with one-way Spirit/Frontier trash fares for click-bait titles like “Free flights”. In all of those cases you’re just saving “$x” from the coupon on a one-way flight you’ll want to avoid. You can usually get a better value by using the discount on an airline that doesn’t charge fees for bag or seat selection.
Anyways, the full list is on our website, expect it to fluctuate with with new additions and some deletions in the next few days before the sale ends.
We update our list of the best limited time offers every week, but we only send out this recap when there have been significant additions to the list. In this post we list coupon codes, discount codes, gift card discounts, and we watch for increases in credit card offers.
Current standout offers are a new 120,000 card sign-up offer which is almost enough points to qualify for a Southwest Companion Pass, some new Hopper coupons: $50 off Portugal, $50 off Panama City Florida, $50 off Savannah flights, and more.
We didn’t find any worthwhile gift-card discounts that were better than the “-10% off” threshold.
