TOP STORY: 2 Welcome Offers that are worth considering if you’re down for free travel

I had a different topic to write about today, but I have 2 welcome offers that are worth considering before they are gone. Here is the quick and dirty→

🚨 Offer 1: Right now, a favorite low annual fee travel card has a limited time offer too good to pass up! If you sign up for the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card, you will get a welcome bonus of 75,000 miles + a $250 travel credit.

That’s worth at least $1,000 in free travel! Plus this card earns you 2x on all of your daily spending, making it a great every day card for your wallet.

This is an unheard of offer on this card and it won’t last too long. Want to understand it more? Check out this article from our affiliate friends over at Daily Drop.

🚨 Offer 2: Small business- all around must have card. We’ve just learned that this “too good to be true” offer will be ending on 9/5.

The welcome offer of 120,000 points on this top-ranked business card→ the elusive “blue bank” card, is a HUGE offer. (This bank has decreed that anyone who is an affiliate can no longer mention their bank name or credit cards names on any social media, including email newsletters.)

It’s in my wallet because of it’s incredible flexibility and  easy-to-use rewards program. Increased offers in the past included 100,000 points (which is when I applied), so this 120,000 is unheard of.

No pressure, of course, just consider this some friendly advice if you’ve been eyeing up cards and unsure of which to choose. This monster welcome offer easily converts to over $1,500 when booking travel in the portal and even more when transferring out to partners→ think free stays at an all inclusive in Hawaii or multiple free round trip ticket to Europe! Options are endless, friend. Need more info? Our affiliate friends can give you the extra deets here.

That’s a lot to consider for today. Hit reply if your head is spinning or this has sparked any questions- I AM HERE FOR YOU!

Boeing trials, they just never end

Boeing has been in the news for months, and none of it has been for good. The trials and tribulations, including safety concerns- one of which was the junk of an Alaskan Air plane that blew out of the aircraft at 16,000ft, scandals and toxic company culture that has plagued the company and cost them billions. And now is no different.

During testing of their newest model, a model projected to come out in 2025, cracks were found. Obviously, this is a major blow to the already hurting empire and the release schedule has been pushed back until 2026.

All I know is, they better take their time, we are not into cracks in the aircraft.

🛂 US citizens need a visa to visit Europe in 2025

Projected to begin in 2025, every traveler, prior to departure, will need to fill out an online ETIAS form to include demographics, travel history and some security questions. Unlike traditional visas, this process will be relatively quick, easy and inexpensive. It will also lend to a 3 year coverage, therefore not something you will need to fill out if you visit more often than that timeline.

In my opinion, it’s less of a visa. While it will be a new requirement to consider when making travel plans, it doesn’t appear to be exclusionary by cost or population. So don’t let this hault any big travel plans!
