New Venture Card offer (worth $1000+)


I'm traveling home from the UK today after a lovely trip to London and Crickhowell, Wales. This newsletter will be very light but will include a full deal round up next week!

While I hope to eventually give the trip highlights via Instagram, here is a quick rundown of this family trip (we had 10 people total!)

London: Stayed at Hyatt House Stratford -- this is one of the cheapest Hyatts in London, most nights are 12k per night. You'll need 2 rooms if you have more than 2 people but still it will be cheaper than almost any other Hyatt in London, is very well connected to public transport and everyone gets free breakfast! The biggest issue is the front desk staff seems a bit disorganized.

We have been to London 2x before with our kids so had done a lot of of the major attractions before -- but a highlight was the Big Ben Tour! You have to book a very certain day months in advance to secure tickets.

After London, we picked up a car at Heathrow and stopped at Stonehenge and Puzzlewood on our way to Crickhowell, Wales. Stonehenge was lovely, has a great little museum. Puzzlewood was magical!

Wales: Stayed at this Airbnb in Crickhowell. Absolutely ideal for a large group. Crickhowell is such a picturesque town and this is right in the center of town, a quick walk to a bakery, cafe, pubs, and hikes. It's even right next to a castle ruin which is next to a playground. Crickhowell is a great base to explore a lovely area. One very memorable tour was the Big Pit Coal Mine, I'd say it's the best tour £5 can buy you!

Happy Travels,

Katie

PS: If you're going to London you'll need an Electronic Travel Authorization which costs about $20 -- but when you search it, the first sites that come up are all scams! Make sure to go to the government site.

Last Chance: Offer ends 9:00 AM EST 9/17/2026 (Thursday)

💳Chase Ink Business Cash® + Chase Ink Business Unlimited® {affiliate links}

Highest Ever Offer: Earn $1000 cash back after you spend $8,000 in the first 4 months after card opening.

MY TAKE: These are no-brainers if you qualify and can meet the minimum spend requirement. It's a huge offer on a no-annual fee card. Even better: if you have a card that earns Ultimate Rewards with an annual fee (like a Sapphire), you can convert this cash back to points. The $1000 bonus will become 100,000 points! Note that eligibility and referral guidelines have changed in the past year so read our full guide for details.

New Card Offer

New card offer this week on the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card.

This card is listed in my Three-Year Plan as one of the first cards to get because Capital One cards can be harder to get approved for if you have a lot of recent inquires.

If you've opened a Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card in the past 48 months, you won't be eligible for this card -- but another great card to look at in that case would be the business version, the Capital One Venture Business.

Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card {affiliate link}

Enjoy $300 to use on hotel and vacation rental bookings through Capital One Travel in your first cardholder year, plus earn 75,000 bonus miles once you spend $4,000 on purchases within the first 3 months from account opening – that’s more than $1,000 in travel value.

$95 annual fee

With less than 2 weeks of the Paze promotion, I'm finally kicking my butt into gear to try to use up my credits. There's a lot of potential ways to use the credits (many cards get 10 different $10 credits) but it's a little bit of a hassle. Here's what I'm doing to keep it simple Every morning, buy 3 new Dunkin' gift cards via the Dunkin app (paying with Paze). 3 is the max per day right now. I merge them with my existing gift cards as I go. Instructions here. Then I set a 24 hour reminder on...

Rove Miles has been around for just over a year now, and we've just added a full guide to this program to our site. When a new company launches in the miles and points or credit card space, to be honest, I usually hold it with some skepticism. Especially when it seems like they are offering big bonuses or extra cheap prices (as Rove did), presumably thanks to venture capital money. First of all, what is Rove? It's a fintech startup that while it doesn't offer a credit card--does offer ways to...
