Well hellooooo, friend ❤️

Now that The Great British Bakeoff is over… I’m (1) slightly depressed, and (2) all ears for new comfort show recommendations.

If you’ve got ‘em, send ‘em — even if they’re completely void of Paul Hollywood. 🙃

Let’s review the best in travel from this week, so we can all go bake some cookies, ‘kay?

✈️ Here’s what to do if your flight gets delayed or canceled.

🌆 Learn how you could book a weekend in Chicago using points.

🚘 Sixt is turning up the heat on rental car loyalty programs (and we’re here for it!).

💵 Spend $50 and get $50 cash back when you sign up for Rakuten.

🎥 Daily Drop Pro just got even better (see why in this week’s YouTube video).

🏆 Our Favorite Pick: Rare 100k bonus is back on a fan-favorite card

Let’s be honest, y’all… premium cards have gotten a little unhinged.

Between the sky-high annual fees and the credits that feel like chores, half the market now feels like a coupon book… made of metal.

If you’ve felt overwhelmed, it’s not you, babe — it’s them.

Enter the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card, strolling back into the room like the one person who has managed to stay classy, sassy, and bad-assy.

First in show, baby!

No chaos. No confusing math. Just a premium card that offers premium perks without testing your will to live.

And perhaps the sweetest part of it all? The 100,000-mile welcome offer is back.

Spend $10k in six months and you’re walking away with 100,000 miles worth at least $1,000 toward travel (or much more if you’re rocking with transfer partners).

But even without the crazy offer, this card is still so, so beautiful:

$300 Capital One Travel credit
10,000-mile anniversary bonus
Capital One and Priority Pass lounge access
Travel protections that are actually… good
2x to 10x earnings on everything

That combo alone brings the $395 annual fee down to basically zero. It’s a pretty rare “premium” card that has great value without asking for much in return.

And because Capital One is apparently in its Oprah phase of “you get miles! you get miles!”, the Capital One Venture X Business is offering up to 400,000 miles right now.

Y’all, that’s enough to book multiple round-the-world trips or a year of premium travel.

So yeah, if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to upgrade to a premium card without all of the craziness, this is your time.

Offers like this don’t come around often, so don’t sleep on this one.

🌟 Extra, Extra: 40% Transfer Bonus to Virgin

We don’t usually toss in extra sections here, but this’ll be quick (I promise).

Virgin Atlantic is offering a 40% transfer bonus from this bank through November 20 (then dropping to 30% through December 5).

Virgin already has some of the cheapest flights to Europe, including 6,000-mile one-ways to London, which drop to 4,300 UR points with this bonus.

And thanks to partners like Air France and KLM, you can reach tons of other European cities for similarly low rates.

Virgin miles work all over the world, never expire, and are incredibly easy to use… which makes this a very low-risk way to top off if you’re dreaming of a future trip.

Ok, ok… I’m almost done… stick with me!
