😍 Pocket 10,000 bonus miles

Hey there, friend. Welcome aboard to the weekend!

We’ve got your in-flight entertainment covered… only this time it’s all about points, perks, and trips worth packing for. ☺️

🛳️ Booking a cruise soon? These are the best cards to use.

✈️ Capital One added three new transfer partners this week… see who’s been added to the list.

🎥 All-inclusive vs. standard resorts. This week’s YouTube video will give you our take.

🏆 Our Favorite Pick: Pocket 10k bonus miles on an economy flight

Flying Blue is handing out miles like a Dutch grandma hands out stroopwafels — and this deal makes even the cheapest economy seat feel like a win. 🙌

Right now, if you book a paid economy flight on Air France or KLM departing from the U.S. and connecting through Paris or Amsterdam, you’ll snag 10,000 bonus miles. Yep, even if you’re crammed in row 43 by the bathroom, your mileage account will be smiling.

The fine print:

• Book by October 7, 2025
• Travel anytime through March 31, 2026
• Only paid economy tickets qualify (no award flights)
• Flights must be both operated and marketed by Air France or KLM
• One bonus per U.S.-based traveler during the promo period

Here’s why this matters: A Boston–Amsterdam round-trip itinerary is available for just $258 this November. Normally, you’d earn about 900 Flying Blue miles on that fare — basically pocket change.

With this promo? You’ll scoop up an extra 10,000 miles. Pay with a card that earns 5x on airfare (like my favorite premium card), and you’ll score over 12,000 miles total.

And considering that Flying Blue’s monthly promo rewards offer flights across the Atlantic for as few as 18,750 miles, your 12,000 miles earned here will get you nearly 70% of the miles you need for a free award flight for a future trip.

This is one of those rare times when the cheap seats are a points goldmine. Just don’t snooze — the offer ends October 7.
