🏆 Favorite pick: The best Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card offer is BACK

This welcome offer was probably the most exciting one we had last year, and I can’t believe it’s back! 😍

The Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card is currently offering a limited-time $250 Capital One Travel credit in addition to the ability to earn 75,000 bonus miles when you spend $4,000 in the first three months of having the card.

At a minimum, that’s worth $1,000 in travel, but you could get far, FAR more value if you utilize Capital One’s 15+ transfer partners.

…and did I mention this card only has a $95 annual fee?! WHAT?!

The travel credit itself is super flexible since you can use it to book both hotels AND flights through Capital One’s travel portal.

It’s essentially like cash that you can use without restriction for whatever you find and want to book!

And then the 75,000 miles… that’s so many miles…

For instance, I recently transferred some of my Capital One miles over to Cathay Pacific for this 12-hour flight from Hong Kong to Vancouver that I’ll be taking later in the year.

27,000 Capital One miles for a 12-hour flight?! It’s just so crazy. ESPECIALLY when that same flight costs 8,014 Hong Kong dollars… or $1,032 freaking USD for basic-ass economy 💀

Cathay is just one of the many amazing transfer partners that Capital One has, and you can see the whole list on our Transfer Partners Cheat Sheet.

But I really don’t think we’ll see this offer again in 2025, and it’s SUCH an underrated card that is, fortunately, starting to get the spotlight it deserves 👏

So if the Venture card has been calling your name, or even if it’s just starting to pique your interest, now is an incredible time to apply.

🏃🏻‍♀️ Runner-Ups

🥇Fly to Dublin in business class for 45,000 points!

Just the other day, I was running some points searches inside of Daily Drop Pro and noticed a TON of award availability to Dublin, Ireland, from a handful of cities around the U.S. and Canada.

And the best part? All of these searches were returning business class flights for as low as 45,000 points and $18.00 in taxes and fees 🤯

I found routes from JFK, Boston, Toronto, Philadelphia, Orlando, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Seattle to Dublin… but there might be more out there!

I was also searching tons of dates from March to May 2025 and kept seeing availability.

You might notice from the image above that you’d be flying on Aer Lingus (which I love), but you’ll actually be booking through Alaska Airlines—and if you find these flights through Daily Drop Pro, it’ll walk you through exactly what you need to do 🙂 

For instance, you can transfer MR points to Hawaiian Airlines, and then transfer those miles to Alaska’s program.

Or you could also transfer Bilt points straight to Alaska if you have a stash of those.

Either way, 45,000 points to fly in business class across the Atlantic is insaaaane. So head to Daily Drop Pro to find some dates and routes before they’re gone!

🥈 NEW transfer bonuses this week

Transfer bonuses, we love ‘em. They essentially help you turn your already hard-earned points into even more points… for FREE.

First up is a 20% transfer bonus from ThankYou points to Qatar Airways, aka Avios, one of the best points programs in the world.

This transfer bonus is good through March 15th, but even if you don’t plan on flying with Qatar (which you should because… Qsuites…), you can take advantage of the entire Avios points program.

That’s because you can move Avios instantly between all the airlines that use this program: Qatar, British Airways, Finnair, Aer Lingus, and Iberia.

As you can imagine, the opportunities are nearly endless.

You could transfer your ThankYou points over to Qatar, then shift them around to British Airways to book flights to the UK and beyond 🤗

So yeah, don’t sleep on any opportunity to get on board with the Avios program!

Next up is a 25% transfer bonus from MR points to Hilton, good through March 14th.

At baseline, you can transfer MR points to Hilton at a ratio of 1:2, so for every 1,000 MR points you’re getting 2,000 Hilton points.

This 25% bonus bumps that up to 1,000 MR points becoming 2,500 Hilton points!

Though I don’t typically like to transfer my bank points to hotels, this is one of those cases where you could get some pretty decent value.

This example found in Daily Drop Pro shows you’d need just 39,000 Hilton points per night to book a stay in downtown Nashville, but with the transfer bonus, that’s only 15,600 MR points!

And with the current welcome offers on some of the most popular cards that earn MR points, you can see how you’d be able to book a TON of nights at Hilton properties if you literally “play your cards right.” 😉

But anyway, if you’d like more examples of how to take advantage of these transfer bonuses, check out this newsletter.
