The perfect points deal pairing

Good morning, lovelies.

You know the absolute HONOR you feel when a cat chooses your lap over someone else’s? Well, we’re so honored you’ve picked us to be your travel newsletter.

And coming from a devoted cat mom, yes, I feel just as honored 🥹

Speaking of being your go-to travel newsletter... Let’s get on with it, shall we??

✅ Check out this update on the SAS Million Mile Challenge (and why you should always bid for business class!).

✅ If you want a beginner-friendly, step-by-step walkthrough of how to use Daily Drop Pro to find and book an award flight… this week’s video is for you!

✅ If you’d like a $400 travel credit in addition to the bonus points welcome offer, take a look at this fan-favorite airline credit card.

🏆 Favorite pick of the week: The latest and greatest transfer bonus

We are absolute suckers around here for a transfer bonus. And we don’t discriminate—it can come from anywhere and transfer to anywhere at any percentage, and we’re like…

So when a 20% transfer bonus from UR points to Flying Blue dropped earlier this week, it’s safe to say we got MAJOR zoomies just like that dog 🤣

And yes, 20% isn’t the highest we’ve ever seen, but remember… We don’t discriminate, especially because this bonus is perfectly timed!

Flying Blue just so happened to release their December Promo Rewards the same freaking day.

This time around, they’re offering a handful of flights from North America to/from Europe for just 15,000 miles on either KLM or Air France.

But with the current transfer bonus, that’s just 12,500 miles. Sick 😎

You can also go all the way from Europe to Asia for just 18,750 miles… or just 16,000 UR points transferred over!

BUT IT DOESN’T STOP THERE.

You can also book many domestic (and international) Delta flights using Flying Blue miles, like this one from Detroit to Atlanta 👇

And again, throw in the 20% transfer bonus for your award flight redemption to be even better.

We love Flying Blue’s program, and this is just one of the many reasons why!

🥇Last chance for big savings with Rakuten!

Rakuten is my favorite shopping portal for most things on any given day, but right now they’ve got something even more special going on… 👀

If you create an account using this link, you’ll get $40 back after you spend $40 on one of their retailers within 90 days of signing up!

I’m especially pumped for this deal because you could score an Apple AirTag for just $2 before taxes if your shopping cart reaches at least $40 initially 🤯

As a refresher, these little Bluetooth tracking devices can easily be slipped inside your luggage to give you its exact location—no matter where it is in the world.

By doing this, you’ll never truly lose your luggage again.

And if the airline does still manage to mishandle it, your AirTag will be your fast pass in helping them return it to you as quickly as possible.

All you need to do is:

• Sign up for Rakuten with this link

• Go to Apple.com (via Rakuten’s site)

• Add an AirTag and secure holder strap to your cart for $40+

• Receive a $40 rebate from Rakuten 🎉
