I’m credit cards writer Augusta Stone, excited to land in your inbox for the first time to wrap up what was a cold and busy week for many of us. Here’s a recap of the big stories you may have missed.
On the brighter side, the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card brought back its best welcome offer in years. For a limited time, you can earn 75,000 bonus miles after you spend $4,000 in the first three months after account opening. Plus, you’ll get a $250 Capital One Travel credit valid for your first cardholder year. At face value alone, that offer’s worth up to an impressive $1,000 in travel.
Good news for those crossing the pond on American Airlines: If you’re planning to make a connection through London’s Heathrow Airport (LHR), you may now be eligible to skip security recheck depending on which U.S. airport you flew in from. Also exciting from this airline: American is the final Big Three airline to incorporate AirTag tracking for your luggage.
And here’s one thing to watch out for: Uber will debut Preferred Currency Pricing this month, which will charge users in select locations a fee when they pay in their preferred currency instead of the local currency. But don’t worry, we show you how you can opt out of this feature once it goes live.
