Waiting in the mailbox for me today was a targeted offer from American Express that extends a $75.00 statement credit when you book a hotel stay through amextravel.com.
The stay needs to be booked by June 15 and obviously paid for with your Amex card. Your Statement Credit will appear 8-12 weeks after the purchase date (Read as completion of hotel stay).
The Statement Credit does not apply to bookings made with discounts such as AAA, Military, Senior Citizen, etc. The coupon also did not indicate any deadline as to when the hotel stay has to be completed. The offer also did not say if there is a minimum room rate that would need to apply in order to qualify for the credit.
Even though the mailing indicated that is was targeted, there is a Bonus ID of 3218. I’m not sure if you can apply it successfully to a booking but it may work.

Came across this interesting study conducted by Switchfly Inc that measures the percentage of seats that an airline has available for award redemption through it’s frequent flyer program.
The criteria that they used was to find 2 seats on 14 different dates between June and October on an Airline’s 10 longest routes, as well as on it’s 10 shortest routes. From the look of the ranking, I suspect they were looking for economy seat availability only.
I think the list confirms what the most saavy of travelers already know in terms of which airlines are easy to find seats on, and which one’s are difficult. But nevertheless, it’s interesting to see how the airlines rank among each other:
