Earn 3,000 bonus points... per night

Good morning from a quiet corner in Starbucks – the place where a sad number of Daily Drop emails have been written from.

But there’s nothing sad or shitty about today’s content:

• 🏖 Earn 3K bonus points per night at Hyatt

• 🤔 Buy Atmos points with up to a 100% bonus

• ✈️ Earn up to 35k Flying Blue miles by flying to Europe

🏖 Earn 3K bonus points per night at Hyatt

Hyatt, baby, I’m LOVING all of these promos… 😍

From November 2, 2025, through March 29, 2026, you can earn 3,000 bonus World of Hyatt points per night on qualifying stays at Hyatt Vacation Club properties.

You can earn up to 30,000 bonus points total – and trust me, that adds up fast.

When you realize that 3,000 points is nearly enough for a free night at some Hyatt hotels around the world, it kind of breaks your brain.

For example, I’m literally checking into the Grand Hyatt Amman later today. Guess how many points per night it costs?

Drum roll… 🥁

Yup. A single night at a Hyatt Vacation Club resort could earn you almost enough for a free night in Jordan (or a dozen other bucket-list spots).

And that’s before factoring in the points you’ll earn from the stay itself. So yeah… we’re basically talking about a “buy one, get one” deal if you redeem smartly.

Here’s the best part – these resorts are almost entirely U.S.-based, which means you can stack a legit staycation or family trip without leaving the country.

Whether you want:

• 🏔 A snowy escape in Beaver Creek, Colorado

• ☀️ A beach week in Siesta Key, Florida

• 🍹 A tropical fix in Puerto Rico

…they’re all on the list.

In summary, here’s what you need to know:

• 🗓 Register on this page by March 22, 2026

• 💸 Stay between November 2, 2025, and March 29, 2026

• 💪 Both cash AND award stays will count

If you do go the cash route, I’d recommend using the Chase Sapphire Reserve®, which earns 4x points on hotels (the same earning rate as The World of Hyatt Credit Card, but more flexible points).

🤔 Buy Atmos points with up to a 100% bonus

Right now, Atmos Rewards is offering up to a 100% bonus when you buy points — but the exact offer you get will depend on what you’re targeted for.

My personal offer is for an 80% bonus, which is still pretty damn good… sometimes.

But the question is… should you actually buy? 🤔 Let’s do some math (I promise it won’t hurt).

Example: Business class to Europe for 45K points

One of Atmos’s best sweet spots is flying from the U.S. to Europe for 45,000 miles in business class.

For example, here’s a nonstop flight from Boston to Dublin on Aer Lingus:

That’s 45K points + $19 in taxes and fees. Not bad at all for lie-flat seats and Irish hospitality. 🍀

If I wanted to buy enough miles to book this flight, here’s what that would look like with my 80% bonus:

That comes out to $941 total, once you add in Atmos’s random “tax recovery fee” (which sounds fake but unfortunately is not).

Then add the $19 in award taxes, and you’re looking at $960 all-in.

Cash vs. miles comparison

Here’s what the same flight costs if you just buy it outright:

As you can see, that’s a $1,235 savings using purchased points – and if you were targeted for the full 100% bonus, your savings get even better.

So yes, this can absolutely be worth it if you’re down to drop a grand for lie-flat across the Atlantic.

And having flown this exact seat earlier this year, I can confirm: it’s awesome. Like, “I’ve already flown it three times this year,” awesome.

TL;DR: Run the numbers

• Step 1: Check your targeted offer (mine was 80%, yours could be higher or lower)

• Step 2: Compare the total cost of buying + fees vs. the cash fare

• Step 3: If the math works, go for it.

Whenever I buy points, I use the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card, which earns 2x miles on all purchases, since buying points won’t code as travel or airfare.

✈️ Earn up to 35k Flying Blue miles by flying to Europe

If you’re North America-based and Europe-curious, Flying Blue is tossing a juicy cherry on top of cash fares right now.

For the next few weeks, you can earn bonus miles on trips departing the United States to Paris (CDG) or Amsterdam (AMS) on flights marketed and operated by Air France or KLM.

Travel can take place through January 31, 2026, as long as your flights are booked by November 17.

So, how many bonus miles will you earn? Here’s how it shakes out:

• 10K in Economy

• 20K in Premium Economy

• 35K in Business

You need to book through KLM or Air France and make sure your Flying Blue number is attached to your booking.

An example that actually slaps

I found this flight from Los Angeles to Lisbon (via Paris) on Air France for $293 one-way in economy.

Because the outbound includes a U.S. to Paris segment, it qualifies for the 10,000-mile bonus on top of regular earnings. (That one purchase basically prints you a future intra-Europe award.)

If you are paying cash for business class on eligible routes, you’re looking at 35,000 bonus miles on that qualifying trip. Not many will do it, but the rebate is chunky AF.

Quick rules summary:

• Book: Oct 28 - Nov 17, 2025

• Travel: Oct 28, 2025 - Jan 31, 2026

• Where it applies: U.S. to CDG/AMS flights on Air France or KLM.

  • The final destination can be beyond CDG/AMS; the outbound U.S.-to-hub leg is what matters

• One use per member during the promo

• No registration required, but read the full terms here

Oh, and make sure to use a card that earns strong transferable points on airfare to stack even more value.

That’s all, my friends! Did you enjoy today’s newsletter as much as I enjoyed writing it? I certainly hope so.

Take care and see you tomorrow for some Friday fun. 🤘🏼
