This week’s dream

Costa Rica sunset escape

Destination-first

We start with where you want to go, then show the points path to get there.

Real talk only

Annual fees, credit requirements, and when a card is NOT right for you.

Built for normal wages

No six-figure spend required. Just one smart card, one trip at a time.

What lands in your inbox

Every issue is short enough to read with coffee, specific enough to actually use.

  • One dream destination you can book with points this month
  • The 1–2 credit cards that actually make that trip possible
  • A clear yes/no check: is this card right for your wallet?
  • Real spending math — points, fees, and interest warnings

Start with this honest note

Credit cards can unlock incredible trips, but they are not for everyone. We only recommend cards we would consider ourselves, and we always flag the annual fee, minimum spend, and credit score reality.

If you carry a balance or are working to build credit, the points game probably isn't your next move — and we'll tell you that straight.
