There are some new card-linked offers for Viator that stack nicely with each other as well as giving the opportunity to earn cashback or Membership Rewards from a shopping portal. There is wording in the terms suggesting there could be an issue with a couple of these deals stacking, but with a previous iteration of these deals I had success with them stacking.
The Deals
- Citi Merchant Offer
- Spend $200+ at Viator & get $20 back
- Direct link to offer
- SimplyMiles Offer
- Spend $200+ at Viator & earn 930 bonus AAdvantage miles
- Direct link to offer

Quick Thoughts
While $200 is a somewhat high spending threshold given how cheap some Viator experiences are, that might not be a spending level that’s too hard to hit if you’re booking activities for 2+ people.
There is a potential issue with stacking the Citi Merchant Offer and the SimplyMiles deal. Both of those deals have wording in the terms stating “Offer cannot be used in conjunction with another loyalty offering.” That would suggest that these deals won’t stack, but it hasn’t been enforced in the past. This same set of offers came out a few months ago and I was able to make use of them when booking a hop on, hop off bus tour for six of us in Paris this summer. I received the $20 statement credit from the Citi Offer as well as the 930 bonus AAdvantage miles from the SimplyMiles offer.
With regards to the SimplyMiles deal, you’ll not only earn 930 bonus AAdvantage miles, but 930 Loyalty Points too, helping push you closer to whichever next status level you’re working towards with American Airlines.
These offers also stack with a shopping portal. At the time of publishing this post the highest cashback rates are 20% from RetailMeNot and 10%/10x from Rakuten. You can find the current portal rates here – not that there are three different listings for Viator in the US on Cashback Monitor.

Unfortunately, back down to 8%
promo code SAVINGSONTOURS did not work for me. says expired
Thanks for the heads up – I’ll remove that from the post.
It seems to have disappeared from by Simply Miles before using it. I had activated it a few days ago and sadly it is no longer there well before the expiration. I am curious if others who have activated it still have or those who have not see it in their simply miles offers?
It is still there on Simply Miles for me. I just activated it.
I just opened Simply Miles acct with a Barclays AA Mastercard acct #, and no Viator offer that I can see.
There’s almost always a Viator discount on Capital One offers. I just did one today and it was 16% back
Has anyone had any luck in using Viator promo codes outside the app? I have been looking, but nothing has worked since early summer.
it would be great if there were a way to reload my viator account for future spending but it does not appear any such angle exists. if anyone has ideas, please chime in!!
Trying to book with a citi card stack with aa eshopping (8 points/dollar). Keeps coming up with an error that there is something wrong with my credit card. Call citi- no issue on their end. So weird. Anyone else getting this?
There is also a PayPal offer that ends tomorrow. Possible to add your Citi card to Paypal for an additional $20 off $200?
I wish I could unenroll in the Citi $20 back offer because I’d rather get the miles through simply miles
I think I need more coffee. I am looking at using Viator for 6 people, so I am not worried about the $200 threshold. I am a little confused by using Rakuten and the 8X Amex MR reference though. I added the offer to my Citi card and enrolled the same Citi card at the Simply Miles site. Are you saying that if I buy $200+ from Viator using the Citi card through the Rakuten portal, I could get the 10% off the purchase and 8X Amex MRs even if I use the Citi card and not an Amex card? Thanks
Yes, the 8x Membership Rewards are the shopping portal earnings provided your Rakuten account is set up to earn Membership Rewards rather than regular cashback.
Thanks!
Can the tour or event be billed in euros?
I think so, provided the conversion amount comes to US$200+.
