Good morning, yā€™all! šŸ™‹šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø Welcome back to Daily Drop, where the coffee is optional, but the miles and points are absolutely essential. Who are we kidding? The coffee is never optionalā€¦ā€¦ā€¦..

Hereā€™s whatā€™s hot and steamy today: 

šŸ¤« Kimpton Hotels shares new password for fall and winter travel

Letā€™s start with the basics. Kimpton Hotels is a brand in the IHG portfolio, and a few times a year, they release a secret password to use at check-in that will grant you a variety of free perks and prizes šŸ‘€

Kimptonā€™s latest password will be good to use between November 1, 2024, and January 31, 2025.

And that password isā€¦ ready?

ITā€™S GIVING.

Coming from a millennial, this is the most Gen Z password that could ever passwordā€¦ā€¦.. šŸ˜‘

It's giving meme

If it wasnā€™t clear, you need to say the password at check-in to unlock some fun perks and prizes.

So what can this Kimpton password get you?

Here are some examples of what weā€™ve seen in the past, but whatā€™s offered can always vary from hotel to hotelā€¦ which is fun.

  • Complimentary room (or suite!) upgrades

  • Complimentary breakfast

  • Complimentary parking

  • A bottle of wine

  • Complimentary cocktails at the bar

  • A food and bev credit

  • A welcome amenity (like maybe some chocolates or a brand-specific item)

  • Free IHG One Rewards points

  • Eternal youth of someone born between 1997 and 2012

Kimpton is one of IHGā€™s luxury brands, so you can bet that whatever perk or prize you get, it should be good.

And since they are part of IHG, you can earn and redeem IHG points with them. šŸ˜Ž

Speaking of which, IHGā€™s $0-annual-fee card JUST launched a new, elevated welcome offer of 100,000 bonus pointsā€¦ Which is great! On a card with no annual fee!!

But anyway, if you were looking to stay at Kimpton, they have properties in many regions of the world, so no matter where youā€™re traveling, chances are youā€™ll come across one šŸ‘‡

To sum up, this promo is giving big ā€œfree perkā€ energyā€¦

*snaps fingers with Gen Z attitude*

So if youā€™re staying at a Kimpton property at any point through the end of January, donā€™t forget to lean into the reception staff and deliver the goods.

šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø 50% off Frontier Airlines flights for Veterans

Frontier Veterans sale

No matter if youā€™re active duty military or are a Veteran, Frontier has a nice promo for you with Veterans Day coming up.

Right now, active duty military and veterans can get 50% off base fares (and so can their family members!!) by using the promo code VETS during the booking process.

This is valid for travel through December 18, 2024, but you must book those flights by October 27, 2024.

Here are some additional details to be aware of:

  • The discount applies to the base far (so taxes and fees wonā€™t be discounted)

  • Both domestic and international flights are eligible (there are some routes that are excludedā€”see those here)

  • Round-trip itineraries are not required, so you can book a one-way flight if needed

šŸ’” Pro Tip: If you do book a flight with cash, I would recommend you use a card like this one which will earn 5x points per dollar on flights booked directly with the airlineā€”this is one of the best ways to maximize the points you can earn!

Lastly, and separate from this promo, Frontier is also offering a Veterans Day Giveaway where 10 winners will be gifted a $250 flight voucher.

All you have to do is share your story about what being a Veteran means to you šŸ™‚
