Good morning from Manchester, New Hampshire - the undisputed best state in America.

It’s been a slow week in the points and miles world… Thankfully, Daily Drop has an exciting announcement that will shake up the entire travel world:

✈️ Introducing Daily Drop Pro

Okay… if you’re an eagle-eyed reader, you may have noticed that I’ve hinted at a very special announcement from Daily Drop…

Well, the day has arrived.

My beautiful friends, allow me to introduce you to Daily Drop Pro.

And before your mind starts wandering, thinking that you’re going to need to pay for a premium newsletter, just stop.

Nothing is changing with the newsletter. I’ll still be raiding your inbox every morning like I have for the last two and a half years.

Rather, Daily Drop Pro is a brand-new, state-of-the-art points search tool for flights and hotels to help you find the best deals and save points in the process.

Well… it’s also MUCH more than that… but let’s start there. 😉

Daily Drop Pro search

Let’s say you want to book a trip to London next month, just a few weeks from now.

Just fire up the ol’ DD Pro search engine, put in your city, destination, and dates, and voila.

You’ll find yourself with a result page that looks like this, showing you all of the ways to book this itinerary with points:

Daily Drop Pro results

Once you have the results (in this case, HUNDREDS of possible options), you can filter by points program, airline, number of stops, takeoff time, aircraft type, points price, and more.

Okay, great. So you find out you can book a flight to London for 10k points.

But how do you actually DO that?

Simply click on the option you want to book, and you’ll see a pop-up window that walks you through, step-by-step, exactly how to make the booking.

Daily Drop Pro booking assist

It includes links to the booking page, details for your search that you can copy and paste, and even tells you which banks transfer to the airline (and if there’s a transfer bonus from that bank!!!).

And if you’re more interested in saving money on hotel programs, well… We’ve got that, too. 😎

We have a super robust hotel points search tool that allows you to see hotel points availability at thousands of properties around the world.

Want to book a hotel in Rome TOMORROW night? No worries. Just fire up Daily Drop Pro and run a search. 👇

You can sort by hotel programs, price, distance from the city center, number of guests, number of rooms, Free Night Award options, and more.

Just like the flight tool, Daily Drop Pro walks you through every step of the booking process while telling you all of your options for booking the hotel with points or cash.

If you’re worried about managing which cards and points you have (let’s be honest, we all have this problem), we’ve got you covered.

DD Pro has a Wallet feature that allows you to keep track of which banks and cards you have and even helps you manage your point balances in various programs. 👇

But what’s the point of booking all these cool redemptions if you can’t share them with others and socialize with fellow travelers?

Oh… that’s right… YOU CAN DO THAT TOO.

Daily Drop Pro also includes access to the Pro Lounge, a place where you can share redemptions, view DD resources, and even participate in Daily Drop meetups around the world!

Daily Drop Pro Lounge

As you can see, it’s all meticulously organized, too.

Honestly, this is the part I’m most excited about, and I can’t wait to start hanging out with more of you (both in the lounge and through in-person meetups).

Okay, okay, okay…

Now, some of you might be wondering… how does this relate to FareDrop (our sister company if you are new around here)…?

Well, I’ve got good news and bad news. FareDrop is DEAD. ☠️

Or, at least, the name is.

ALL of FareDrop’s features (including epic cash flight deals from your home city) are also included in Daily Drop Pro.

Daily Drop Pro Deal Alerts

And if you have an existing FareDrop Pro membership, congrats - You’re already a full-on Daily Drop Pro member. 🎉

Simply sign in on the Daily Drop Pro website using your FareDrop credentials.

If you’re not in this boat (a.k.a. not a current FareDrop member), don’t worry - we have some options.

First, we are offering a limited membership tier that gives you five free points searches to test out the product and limited deal alerts.

But if you want the full deluxe-ass version, for the first week you can join for $149 $99 /yr for life. This is the only time we will run a sale like this! Daily Drop Pro is going to cost $149 /yr after this.

With this option, you’ll gain access to UNLIMITED points searches and deal alerts, as well as access to our Pro Lounge. Plus, you’ll receive a discount code for one of our popular airport t-shirts as well as a free Lonely Planet eBook!

Finding the right deal one time can pay for this thing many times over, not to mention the time savings, so click the button below to sign up.

Honestly, having this tool exist at all is everything I have ever hoped for as a points and miles enthusiast… 🥹

But I know many of you will try this tool out and immediately write to us saying, “Where is xyz feature, etc.”

And I want to tell you—we’re on it.

We will be continuing to add more points programs, add features, and fix any bugs that pop up as we get this behemoth of a tool up and running.

Still, we want your feedback! So, at any point, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] with any suggestions, concerns, or questions.

Now that this tool exists, I’ll also be telling you more about it and referencing it in future Daily Drop newsletters. 😉

Anyway, I know y’all just want to go play around with it, so go check out Daily Drop Pro!
