We love to see ways credit cards can offer noteworthy savings on items you already want or need. Right now, two popular credit cards have targeted offers that can save you $100 or $200 on Away luggage purchases in the form of a statement credit if you hit the spending requirements to trigger the credit.
One such offer is a Chase Offer on the Chase Sapphire Reserve® (see rates and fees) for a $200 statement credit after spending $500 on Away purchases made directly with Away.
Another on the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (see rates and fees) is providing a smaller but still solid offer for a $100 statement credit after spending $400 on Away purchases.
If you don’t yet have one of these cards, I’d be remiss not to mention that the Chase Sapphire Preferred currently has its largest welcome bonus since 2021. You can earn 100,000 bonus points after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first three months of account opening.
While I almost never check a bag, even on international trips, I am consistently impressed with my family’s Away Bigger Carry-On bags. They hold so much and still generally fit in the overhead bins for U.S. airlines.

However, the regular Away Carry-On is also a great choice if you don’t need or want that additional space (or if you fly frequently on international airlines that can be a bit more strict about carry-on sizing).
In a stroke of good timing, Away currently has a deal that gives you $50 off two bags, so buying two Away Carry-On bags should add up to exactly $500 (before taxes). If you have the Chase Offer for a $200 statement credit after spending $500, that works out to an out-of-pocket cost of just $150 per bag, a very solid deal for a bag that has gone hundreds of thousands of miles with me and held up well.
Another option is to grab a friend or family member who also wants a bag and split the cost to trigger that discount and the statement credit.
Regardless of who the bags are for, remember to start your purchase via a site like Rakuten to earn some bonus points or cash back on the purchase.
