Hey there,

In observance of Juneteenth, the Daily Drop team is taking the day off.

Before we unplug and start arguing about the best road trip snacks (it's a surprisingly heated debate), we wanted to leave you with a few things we're excited about this summer.

🚗 Introducing: Roadtripper

Starting Wednesday, June 24, we're launching a brand-new newsletter called Roadtripper. You voted for it, and it’s here!

As the name suggests, it's all things road trips: scenic routes, quirky roadside attractions, national parks, hidden gems, and plenty of excuses to roll the windows down and hit the road.

Don't worry—this is separate from the Daily Drop daily newsletter, so your morning inbox routine isn't changing.

Roadtripper will land in your inbox every Wednesday at 12 PM ET.

🎥 Points Pursuit is almost here

If you've ever wondered what would happen if you gave a bunch of travel nerds a challenge, a budget, and a camera crew... you're about to find out.

Points Pursuit is our newest video series, where Daily Drop team members were challenged to:

  • Earn as many points as possible from just $500 in spending

  • Entertain Brendan and Erin for a full 24 hours

  • Showcase their hometown along the way

Who pulled off the best strategy?

Who found the most creative earning opportunities?

And is your hometown about to become internet famous?

New episodes drop every Sunday on our YouTube channel.

Want the full experience? Join us for weekly watch parties every Wednesday at 3 PM ET, where you'll get to watch alongside that week's contestant and hear the stories behind the scenes. Sign up here.

🎓 Need a miles-and-points reset?

We get it.

Between transfer partners, welcome bonuses, award charts, and figuring out why everyone suddenly cares about a credit card you've never heard of, this hobby can feel like drinking from a firehose.

That's exactly why we created Miles & Points 101.

It's a free 10-email series packed with:

✅ Simple explanations
✅ Quick quizzes
✅ Helpful videos
✅ Step-by-step lessons

The goal? Help you build confidence and learn the fundamentals without feeling overwhelmed.

If you've been meaning to get back to basics, this is a great place to start. (We also do live classes, and our Facebook Lounge is another spot to get advice from fellow travelers.)

That's all from us.

Whether you're traveling, spending time with family, firing up the grill, or simply enjoying an extra day off, we hope you have a wonderful long weekend.

We'll see you back in your inbox on Monday.
