TL;DR: This shiny premium travel card just got a major glow-up, and the monster welcome offer makes it even spicier đŸŒ¶ïž.

Two Daily Drops in one day, but I promise it’s worth it.

🚹 One of the top premium travel cards just got a massive overhaul, with a welcome offer as high as 175,000 MR points after $8,000 spend in 6 months. 🚹

More importantly, it’s packed with new credits and perks, including:

  • Up to $600 hotel credit (triple what it used to be)

  • Up to $400 dining credit through Resy (up to $100 per quarter)

  • Extra lifestyle, travel, wellness, and entertainment perks 👀

Plus, some existing credits are increasing in value, while many of our favorite perks (like lounge access, airline fee credit, and more) are staying exactly the same.

And if you’re a business owner, the business version of this card also has new benefits worth checking out.

Now for the part nobody loves
 the annual fee is rising to nearly $900. đŸ˜Ź

I know, I know — I never thought I’d call a card this expensive “worth it” either. But the math is mathing, and you don’t need to use every perk to justify it. With $1,000+ in new credits, the extra $200 fee practically pays for itself.

👉 Bottom line: This card has a fresh set of perks and credits that more than offset the higher fee, and the six-figure welcome offer is just icing on the cake. Personally, I plan to keep the card, and I’d recommend running the numbers to see if it makes sense for you, too.

đŸ€š Why can’t we just say the card name?

We promise we aren’t trying to keep you in the dark! At Daily Drop, we may receive affiliate commissions from cards we recommend and are bound by strict marketing rules that sometimes prevent us from naming them in emails.

Thanks for letting me raid your inbox twice in one day. I’ll leave you alone now
 until tomorrow. 😉

Later,
