Welcome to Daily Drop

You’re a road warrior.
Are you making the most of your current spend?

We looked at your survey answers, and we love to see that you travel a lot. You've dabbled with points. You probably have the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card already. But you've got a feeling you're leaving something on the table.

Let's fix that.

Show me what I'm missing

This page is for the person who:

01
Travels 5+ times a year, for fun and sometimes for work
02
Has used points before but isn't sure they're getting the most out of them
03
Wants lounge access, hotel upgrades, or smarter redemptions
04
Is ready to add a second card that actually earns its keep

Steps

01

You Earn a Welcome Offer

Apply for a card, spend a set amount in the first few months, and unlock a big lump of points. On most cards we recommend, that welcome offer alone is worth $750 to $1,000+ in travel: enough to cover the flights for your next family trip before you've even paid the annual fee.
02

Everyday Spending Builds Your Balance

Groceries, gas, school supplies, streaming services -- all of it earns points. You're not changing what you buy. You're changing where the credit goes. A family running $3,000-$5,000/month through a good travel card can accumulate trip-funding points surprisingly fast.
03

You Use Points to Cover the Big Stuff

Flights are the easiest win. Transfer points to an airline partner and book awards for the family. Hotel points work similarly: a four-night stay at a Hyatt property can run 60,000-80,000 points, often worth $800-$1,000+ you're not spending out of pocket.
04

It Compounds Every Year

Year one is the biggest bang for your buck (thanks to the welcome offer). But ongoing earnings on your regular household spend means you're never starting from zero again. Most families who commit to a solid card setup find they can subsidize one solid trip per year from points alone.

One card was a good start.
But your travel schedule has outgrown it.

If you've got the Sapphire Preferred and you're taking 5+ trips a year, you're already in the right ecosystem. The question is whether the card you're carrying is keeping up with how you actually travel.

At 5-10 trips a year, lounge access stops being a luxury. A $300 travel credit pays for itself before February. And if you're booking 2+ hotels a year, a card that earns premium hotel points is suddenly worth running the math on.

Upgrade your primary card

These cards are best suited as your main travel card (the one you put most spending on). If you already have the Sapphire Preferred, each of these is a natural next step.

Why it fits

If you don't already have it, the CSP is still the best entry-level travel card on the market. 3x on dining, 2x on travel, and access to the full Chase transfer partner list (Hyatt, United, Flying Blue, and more) for $95 a year.

Key perks:

$50 hotel credit, 10% anniversary points bonus, trip delay insurance, primary rental car coverage

A note for solo travellers

If you travel alone some or most of the time, a couple of these perks hit differently. Lounge access means you don't need to find a quiet corner of the terminal before a flight. Trip delay insurance means a missed connection doesn't ruin your whole itinerary. And flexible points — ones you can use for a single ticket, not just for two — are just more useful.

The Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card, Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, and the Amex Gold Card allow free authorized users, which matters if you occasionally travel with a partner or family member and want them covered too.

The points you have may be worth more than you think.

Most frequent travelers sit on points they never fully use. Here is what actually works at your travel frequency:
  • Transfer Chase points to Hyatt. Even a single free night at a mid-tier Hyatt can be worth $250-$400. At 5+ trips a year, that adds up fast.
  • Transfer to Flying Blue or Aeroplan for flights. Both programs regularly price partner routes lower than U.S. airlines’ own programs.
  • Use Capital One miles to cover travel purchases. You can reimburse yourself for any charge coded as travel within 90 days at 1 cent each. No portals, no blackout dates.
  • Book premium cabins on points. If you're flying internationally even once a year, a business-class redemption through the right partner program can be worth 3-5x an economy-class redemption.

How many devices are supported for my account?

You can log in to the Daily Drop Pro app on up to five devices. We believe that users should be able to share the same Daily Drop Pro account, as many of our deals are helping couples and families travel domestically and internationally together!

How will I be notified?

Users receive alerts in the Daily Drop Pro app, via email, or both! Our app also displays recent deals we have sent from your selected origin airports.

What type of deals can I expect to receive?

We are currently searching for the best round-trip, domestic and international flight deals in both Economy and Business class. Our deals are to destinations all around the globe, so users on our Pro membership can adjust their settings to be notified of deals to only their selected regions and travel times.

How often will I receive flight deal alerts?

Great Daily Drop Pro deals can happen anytime, but are also completely outside of our control! As such, we cannot guarantee the frequency you'll be alerted to new deals. There may be a week when you will not receive any new notifications, and then there will be others when we'll be alerting you to dozens of amazing fares. Rest assured, if there's a great deal that matches your preferences, you'll hear about it!

We strive to send at least one amazing deal per origin each day, but will not waste your time with mediocre deals.Daily Drop Pro only includes truly great deals, so that you can travel more affordably.

How do I book Daily Drop Pro deals?

We will send links to book deal alerts on Google Flights. We send sample dates for each month in which a deal is valid, allowing you to easily find the optimal dates for your travel plans. We recommend using Google Flights to search the calendar for availability, and then booking your tickets with the airline directly.

How do I book Daily Drop Pro points searches?

After searching for a points deal for flights or hotels, you will be prompted step-by-step on how to complete your booking.

How long will a deal last once I receive an alert?

We cannot control how long each deal will remain bookable at our fantastically low prices, and our best deals are only available for a very short window of time. Some deals may be valid for several days, but we recommend users to book deals as soon as possible.

All flights departing from the United States have a 24-hour free cancellation policy, which allows users in the US to lock in great deals immediately, risk-free.

How far in advance do you send out deals?

We search for a wide-range of deals departing up to 11 months in the future. Some deals will have sample dates which depart immediately, but a majority of deals will have a range of dates departing from one to eight months in advance. Great flight prices can be found any time, so departure dates of our deals will vary.

Points searches can be done up to 12 months in advance.

How do I change my flight deal preferences?

For Pro members, you can change your preferences in the Daily Drop Pro app or by logging into your account dashboard on our website. Limited members cannot change their flight deal preferences.

Which Points Programs does Daily Drop Pro send points deals for?

We focus on sending points deals that are bookable with transferrable points from your credit card - you can view a full list of these programs here. In addition, we also emphasize sending deals that can be booked through major US airline loyalty programs like Alaska, American, Delta and United. In general, we don't send deals that can only be booked through airline loyalty programs without a North American transfer partner.

Will there be points deals from my home airport?

Yes! We aim to send deals from all of the airports we currently support in the US and Canada. However, deal frequency will vary significantly depending on where you live and the size of your local airport. Similar to cash deals, you'll get the best results by following 1-2 major hub airports closest to your home airport where you'd be willing to reposition for an exceptionally good deal. We expect major airports like Atlanta or New York to receive 3-5 points deals per week, while small regional airports will be closer to 1-2 per week on average.

Does my membership automatically renew?

Your membership automatically renews yearly, so that you never miss a deal.

Does the Limited membership give me access to both U.S. and Canadian domestic deals?

Our free Limited membership allows notifications for 1 home departure airport, either in the U.S. or Canada. The Limited membership will provide you with limited domestic and international deals from your home airport. To receive all deals from your departure airports, you can upgrade to our Pro membership.

Do you support local currencies?

Yes, all prices are by default in the departing airport's local currency. At the moment, DailyDrop Pro only supports U.S. and Canada departing airports. You can adjust your currency settings anytime in your account settings. If the departing airport's local currency and your account currency settings do not match, the prices will be converted based off of your account settings and the current currency exchange rate.

How do I cancel my account?

You can easily cancel your account on our website. You can locate this option on the Plan and Billing settings screen on our website.

What is your refund policy?

For all full-priced subscriptions, we offer a no-questions-asked, risk-free, 30-day refund policy. Simply send an email to team@faredrop.com and request a refund from your subscribed email address. Full details are available in our Refund Policy.

Daily Drop Pro stands behind our product and the value that it provides. If you are not receiving value from our amazing flight deals, we would love to hear your feedback and better understand how we can improve our services. You can reach us at feedback@faredrop.com with your feedback.
