Spooktacular Rewards on Travel, Shopping, and More
Halloween season is officially here, and we’re celebrating with elevated rewards across 15 merchants! Running from October 1st through October 31st, 2025, our October Flash Boost brings you wickedly good rates, including up to 9% back at major travel sites like Expedia, Hotels.com, and TripAdvisor, plus boosted rates on shopping, entertainment, and more.
This is perfect timing for booking holiday travel, getting ahead on gift shopping, and treating yourself this fall. The best part? These boosted rates stack right on top of your regular credit card rewards like layers on a candy corn! Sorry, we couldn’t resist.
While other shopping extensions pocket most of their merchant commissions, we pass 100% directly to you. That's the Kudos difference and why our Flash Boost rates are scary good (for your wallet).
