Bonus Offer Picks of the Week: December 19 - 31, 2011

Here are my picks from the bonus offers I added during the last two weeks of December:

Bonus Offer For Flying
Southwest Airlines was the first airline to match American's double EQM offer with this offer of their own:
Southwest Rapid Rewards: Double Tier Qualifying Points on every Southwest flight systemwide. Full Details. Until Jan 31, 12

Bonus Offer For Staying (Airline Miles)
There weren't too many stand out offers added into this category but I chose this offer as we don't see this hotel chain featured very often:
Miles & More:Double Miles & More Miles on all qualifying stays at any Mövenpick Hotels and Resorts in Europe. Full Details Until Feb 29, 12

Bonus Offer For Staying (Hotel Points)
Two more hotel chains came out with their 1st Quarter promos and I gave the nod to Hilton over Marriott's Megabonus:
Hilton HHonors: 1,000 Bonus HHonors Points per night + 5,000 Bonus HHonors Points (Weekends) for stays at participating Hilton Hotels Worldwide. Earn 1,000 bonus points for every eligible night plus an additional 5,000 bonus points for stays of 2 or more nights on Weekends (Thu-Sun). Full Details Jan 1 - Mar 31, 12


Bonus Offer For Driving
Only two new car rental offers were posted and this United/Avis offer is an extension of one we have seen for most of 2011:
