🤯 Get $2,000 worth of new perks

Happy lazy weekend morning to you, friend.

We’re so glad you’ve decided to sit down with us, enjoy your morning beverage of choice, and get caught up on the latest travel news from this week.

And there was a lot of news this week… like a lot a lot. 😅

So let’s jump right in!

🙌 Earn 500 bonus points per night for staying at new Hyatt properties.

🏆 Our Favorite Pick: The shiniest card on the market just got a glow-up

I can’t stop gushing about the transformation this premium card underwent just a couple of days ago.

And apparently, the rest of the world can’t either — I’ve been bombarded with YouTube ads, Instagram reels, and even memes. Apparently, 2004-era Oprah is really excited.

BIG boosts in statement credits

I can’t list off all the details here, but we’re talking new, exciting, and enhanced credits that span dining, travel, fitness, entertainment, and other lifestyle categories.

As a fitness girlie, I’m digging the lululemon and Oura Ring credits — in fact, I ordered my Oura Ring the instant that credit showed up in my account. 👀

What’s staying put

The most baller thing about all of this is that nothing went away. All the OG statement credits and perks, such as lounge access and luxury hotel benefits, have stayed.

The annual fee did increase, but with over $2,000 in value just from the credits, it’s more than justified, in my opinion.

🙌 Heads Up: More interested in business cards? The business version of this card also got an upgrade (and a massive elevated welcome offer!).

Between this card’s glow-up earlier this year and now this news, it really seems to be the year that banks are trying to one-up each other. And we’re here for it. 😏

I’m obviously keeping my favorite premium card, but I’m curious…

Are you keeping this premium card in your wallet?

• 😍 100%
• 😬 Nah, I'm out.
• 😁 I don't have it, but now I want it!
