đ Well, hello there, friend. Welcome back to your favorite travel newsletter â we may not be a tasty gummy multivitamin, but weâre certainly a daily essential. đ
How about we get caught up on all things travel?
đ¨ Right now, you can save 25% on Hyatt stays in the Americas!
âď¸ Did you receive this merchant offer to earn 20k bonus points on flights to Europe?
đ There are a whopping 26 cards with elevated welcome offers right now.
đĽ This weekâs YouTube video is busting five of the biggest credit card myths.
đ Our Favorite Pick: Dabble with Amazon using ONE point
Amazon Prime Day might be over, but the deals are still abundant thanks to a little feature called Shop with Points.
If youâve linked a card that earns MR points to your Amazon account, you might be in for a fun treat: Redeem just one MR point and save up to 50% on your Amazon purchases.

These promos are targeted, so you may also see other amounts such as 30% or 40% off. But still⌠a discount is a discount. đđťââď¸
I wouldnât normally recommend redeeming any points with Amazon â because I value travel redemptions waaaay more than a (admittedly, very cool) Magic Forest Cat Tree Tower. đŤ
But in this case, youâre only on the hook for one point to unlock your targeted discount!
To reiterate:
You need to link an eligible card to your Amazon account (I have both this premium card and this mid-tier card)
These offers are targeted, but you can check here to see if youâve received a discount

I personally just upgraded my portable battery pack (the Anker brand is absolutely GOATED, by the way).

I received a nice discount via Amazonâs Shop with Points feature, and all thanks to redeeming just a single MR point. đ
