| 🔥 FIRE | | DoorDash DashPass Members Score $40 Off $100 at Sephora Today | | DoorDash is offering DashPass members $40 off $100 or more at Sephora today with code BEAUTY40 as part of its Summer of DashPass promotion. This deal requires an active DashPass membership, and a similar Kroger offer went fast earlier in the promotion, so grab it now if you need Sephora products. | | source → |
| ✅ SOLID | | Seats.aero Chrome Extension Brings Award Pricing to Google Flights | | Seats.aero launched a Chrome extension that shows award pricing directly under cash fares on Google Flights, displaying point prices for Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, Air France-KLM Flying Blue, Delta SkyMiles, and others alongside taxes, fees, seat count, and data freshness. Pro members get live pricing while free users see cached availability for flights up to 60 days out. Since it's similar to Points Path but pulls from more programs and both offer free tiers, install both. | | source → |
| ✅ SOLID | | Delta's $738 D.C.-New Delhi Fares Come With Major Basic Economy Strings | | Delta is selling roundtrips from Washington D.C. to New Delhi for $738 in Basic Economy or $888 in regular economy, valid mid-September or mid-January 2027 with a Sunday stay required and 7 days advance purchase. Basic Economy includes a middle seat and nothing else—no advance seats, checked bags, changes, cancellations, or mileage earning. Pay the extra $150 for regular economy unless you travel impossibly light and never need flexibility. | | source → |
| 🦨 STINKER | | Marriott-Starbucks Bonus Week Offers 100 Points—Skip Unless a Daily Visitor | | Marriott Bonvoy is running a bonus week with Starbucks through July 26 where linking your accounts and making three qualifying purchases earns 100 Marriott Bonvoy points, plus double Starbucks Stars during eligible Marriott stays. However, 100 points is essentially nothing, and the friction of linking accounts and tracking purchases isn't worth it unless you're already a regular Starbucks customer—and even then, probably skip it. | | source → |
| ✅ SOLID | | U.S. Mint Silver Coins Drop Thursday: $1,696 Spend for $100+ Profit Play | | The U.S. Mint is releasing the American Eagle 2026 One Ounce Silver Enhanced Uncirculated Coin Thursday at 12 PM Eastern for $169 per set with a 10-set limit plus $5.95 shipping, totaling $1,696 in credit card spend for roughly $100-plus profit across all 10 sets. Lock in a resale price before you buy to avoid market risk, since most buyers haven't posted their purchase rates yet. If you're comfortable with the resale legwork and can act at noon Thursday, this is your manufactured spend play. | | source → |
| 🔥 STEAL OF THE DAY | | Air Canada is selling Aeroplan points with up to a 110% bonus through August 12, 2026, bringing the cost down to 1.27 cents each. This is a solid price if you already have a specific redemption mapped out and know you're getting more than 1.27 cents per point in value. Buying points speculatively is rarely smart, so only pull the trigger if you've priced the award flight and confirmed the math works in your favor. | | source → |
|
| 💳 CARD OF THE DAY | | American Express Delta Gold Card. If you're not using the monthly rideshare credit, you can retroactively tip a driver from a previous ride up to 30 days old and the credit will apply—it's a workaround rather than a feature, but it beats letting the money expire. Only useful if you already have unused credit sitting there and an Uber ride to attach it to. | | Apply here → (referral link) |
