Want to spread some holiday joy without breaking the bank? Your credit card might be your secret Santa! Many cards come loaded with perks that you can actually gift to friends and family. We're talking things like free lounge access (perfect for the jet-setter in your life!), companion tickets to take someone special on a trip, or even those free night hotel certificates you haven't used yet.
Why should you care? Because you're already paying for these perks, so why not put them to good use and make someone's holiday season a little brighter? Plus, it's a thoughtful gift that shows you know what they'd truly appreciate, whether it's a relaxing pre-flight cocktail in a lounge or a weekend getaway on you!
The AwardWallet Blog has a great guide breaking down all the best credit card perks you can gift. So before you hit the stores, take a peek at your wallet – you might already have the perfect presents waiting to be unwrapped!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
