Good morning, and happy Friday the 13th.

*insert cheesy spooky Friday the 13th joke about travel*

Anyway, here’s what I’ve got for you today:

• 🔧 We’ve got an amazing new tool that you need

• 🍪 Tasty Travel Tidbits

• ✈️ Great news for fans of Delta

• 💳 Current Transfer Bonuses

🔧 We’ve got an amazing new tool that you need

Okay, I’m WAY too excited about this… and I really think y’all will be, too…

We talk ALL the time about how great it is to transfer points from the bank to various airline partners.

But when we have dozens of partners, a bunch of banks, and various transfer times and ratios, it gets to be a lot.

I do this for a living, and I can’t even keep track of all of it.

That’s why I’m super pumped to tell you that Daily Drop now has an online tool to help you (and me) navigate all things transfer partners. 👇🎉

And I’m being genuine when I say I really truly believe it’s the best tool of its kind on the internet.

On this page, you can see a list of all major U.S. banks, which programs they transfer to, what the transfer ratio is, and even how long it typically takes for points to arrive.

Beyond that, you can even search and filter for specific airline alliances, hotel programs, and more.

And to make it even more useful, the page also includes a list of current transfer bonuses at any given time to help you decide which partners will offer you the most value. 👇

This is something that I personally have needed for a while, and I encourage you all to add the page to your bookmarks for easy reference.

Without further ado, here you go 😍

🍪 Tasty Travel Tidbits

✈️ Aeroplan now allows some members to transfer airline miles to Marriott Bonvoy at a 1:1 ratio. It’s not a valuable way to use your points, but if you’re in a pinch and need some hotel points, it’s not bad to have them as an option!

🇬🇧 Ouch… beginning next year, travelers heading to the U.K. will have to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) and pay a $13 fee… It's not the worst thing ever, but it's certainly annoying for a country we used to be able to waltz in and out of freely.

🏨 Quick Promo: World of Hyatt members can earn 1,000 bonus Lufthansa miles per hotel stay with their new joint promo. Lufthansa miles aren’t the most amazing currency, but hey - free miles are free miles! So just register now if you have some Hyatt stays coming up.

✈️ Great news for fans of Delta

We like to joke about how Delta SkyMiles are becoming basically worthless as time goes on and Delta continues to slash their value…

But Delta is still such a popular airline among U.S. travelers that when there’s a way to get a bunch of extra miles, it cannot be ignored.

That’s why many of you will be excited to hear that yesterday, the airline dropped some epic credit card offers to rack up many tens of thousands of miles without breaking a sweat.

Offers have been increased on both personal and business cards, but I think we should focus on the personal cards.

The current elevated offers range from 80,000 Delta miles to 100,000 miles, depending on the card.

80,000 Delta miles for a low-annual-fee card is actually a great deal, and I’ll tell you why.

While Delta charges ridiculous (almost comical) rates for its international and business-class flights, they still have some tasty deals in economy on domestic flights.

For example, you can fly from New York to Los Angeles for as few as 9,000 SkyMiles.

That’s an excellent deal and competitive with other domestic programs. If you’re a primarily domestic traveler, you can stretch these miles super far.

Even if you want to apply for a card to use for an international trip, there are still some decent deals.

For example, you can fly nonstop from Detroit to Tokyo for 56,000 miles in economy on many dates.

I cut out the premium prices from that last screenshot because they were offensive and completely inappropriate (600,000 miles for business class 😑).

Anyway, if you’re a Delta fan and have been thinking about going all-in with them, a premium card could be a sweet way to get some extra Delta perks and rack up a boatload of miles.

So here’s the bottom line:

Some of the airline’s cards have the highest offers we’ve seen so far this year.

If you’re a Delta fan or even just someone who primarily travels around the U.S., it’s pretty easy to get outsize value from the miles you can rack up with these new card offers. 👇

That’s gonna do it for this week, my friends.

With all of these transfer bonuses, solid card offers, new tools, and great deals, there has truly never been a better time to be immersed in the points and miles world.

Take care, have a great weekend, and I’ll see you soon. ❤️
