I hope you all are enjoying a restful long weekend. I don’t know where summer went, but it definitely went by fast given it’s already Sept. 1!
Normally we’d be bringing you the best credit card offers of the month today, but since it’s also a Sunday, you’re getting the top stories of the week and the best card offers combined.
Two of the best offers are still around for a few more days, but if you are interested, I recommend not waiting until the last day to apply.
Chase Ultimate Rewards points are some of our staff’s favorites because they are so versatile and transfer to 14 different hotel and airline partners, like Air France-KLM Flying Blue and World of Hyatt.
Ending Sept. 9: The best welcome offer we’ve seen in years on the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card also ends soon. This offer is valued at $1,000 worth of travel, and the card earns 2 miles per dollar on everyday spending.
New cardholders can earn 75,000 bonus miles after spending $4,000 on purchases in the first three months of account opening. You’ll also get a one-time $250 Capital One Travel credit valid for your first cardholder year with this welcome offer, which ends Sept. 9.
Top stories of the week
In travel news, last week we learned that upcoming strikes in Italy might disrupt air and train travel in certain cities. Here in the U.S., Frontier Airlines is shaking things up again by adding 11 new routes.
In the cruise world, we had news that Princess Cruises hiked a fee that some cruisers find outrageous, and Royal Caribbean ordered what could be the world’s largest cruise ship.
The Points Guy is supporting Make-A-Wish during its Summer of Wishes fundraising challenge. You can help by donating $10 or more and entering for a chance to win 1 million Chase Ultimate Rewards points for the trip of a lifetime that TPG’s founder, Brian Kelly, will help you plan!
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday,
Becky
