Black Friday Deals That Actually Reward You
Black Friday season is officially here, and we're celebrating with elevated rewards across 20+ merchants! Running from November 1st through November 30th, 2025, our Black Friday Flash Boost brings you serious rates, including up to 9% back at travel sites like Expedia and Hotels.com, plus boosted rates on holiday shopping, entertainment, and more.
This is perfect timing for booking holiday travel, getting ahead on gift shopping, and treating yourself this season. The best part? These boosted rates stack right on top of your regular credit card rewards. It’s double-dip season, too. You should be earning rewards from your cards and from Kudos on every purchase you can!
