Todayβs newsletter is brought to you byβ¦ DeleteMeβ With AI making scams more sophisticated, protecting your personal data is more crucial than ever. When I Googled myself, I found detailed profiles with my email, phone number, address, family members, and more. After hours of trying to remove it manually and almost giving up, I turned to DeleteMe, which made the entire process feel so effortless. βDeleteMe removes your personal information from 100s of data broker websites and continuously scans to keep it off. On average, they remove 2,000+ pieces of data in the first two years for each customer.

If you're interested, fill out this very short form and I'll send you an invite. I should also be able to offer 6-20% off a few other popular brands (e.g., Uber, DoorDash, Walmart, Instacart, etc.). Additionally, there are 4 more new Amazon offers:
π±One Year of Unlimited Wireless for $135Right now Mint Mobile has a promotion to get a full year of unlimited wireless (talk/text/data) for $180 + taxes/fees (which were ~$28 for me), but to sweeten the deal, there's a card-linked offer for $45 off $90+, which brings the total down to $163 for 12 months of service, which is only $13.58/mo. You can find the 12mo deal here. Note: Mint Mobile was a sponsor of the podcast last year, but we paid in full for our new line with this deal last week. I'm also hoping that if enough people use the link above they might renew their partnership, so thanks in advance for supporting me (but obviously only if you actually want to sign up AND don't find a better deal elsewhere) π Top New Card-Linked Offers for $350+ SavingsSo many great card-linked offers expired at the end of the year, but there are a few new ones worth sharing. To automate adding these card-linked offers, try βCardPointers Pro with β30% off here.
π« Travel, Points & MilesπΊ Flying Blue Promo Rewards: January 2025Air France-KLMβs Flying Blue Promo Rewards for January 2025 is offering 25% off award flights booked by 1/31/25 for travel through 6/30/25.
Make sure to use Flying Blueβs βsecretβ award calendar to find availability, and remember, kids aged 2-12 get 25% off award tickets, including Promo Rewards! π€ Alaska x Hawaiian Status Match is (Finally) HereThe Alaska Mileage Plan and HawaiianMiles status match is now live. Members can match status online in 3 steps.
π¨ 3k Bonus Points for New Hilton Honors MembersNew Hilton Honors members can earn up to 3k bonus points after two paid stays. Enroll by 12/31/25 and complete your stays booked directly with Hilton within six months of joining. Award stays do not qualify. βοΈ NEW: Earn Miles with Capital One OfferCapital One card-linked offers now earn miles instead of cash back, giving cardholders who earn Capital One Miles even more value since these miles can be transferred to travel partners. Since most people value Capital One miles at ~1.5Β’ or more, that could be a 50% increase in value on every offer. π MGM Elite Perks for Marriott Bonvoy ElitesYou can now book 17 MGM properties through Marriott channels and Bonvoy elites can now enjoy perks at MGM properties, such as room upgrades, late checkout, food & beverage credit, bonus points, and welcome gifts. Ambassador Elite members unlock the biggest benefits, including waived resort fees, suite upgrades, and other VIP perks. However, MGM stays only earn these perks if booked directly through Marriott, which are often offered at premium rates. π΅οΈ Great Findsπ΅ 15 Tactics to Break Free from DistractionWe live in a world filled with distractions, and these actionable strategies can help you overcome them and reclaim your focus this year. We also explore how cultivating openness and curiosity can strengthen relationships and combat polarization.
π± T-Mobile Starlink Beta Program Sign UpβT-Mobile Starlink allows T-Mobile users to connect to Starlink satellites for connectivity in areas without regular coverage. All customers with a compatible device and postpaid T-Mobile plan are eligible for the beta test, which has limited availability, so register here soon. πΊ Show Recommendation: The AgencyIβm really enjoying this new spy show that follows a covert CIA agent forced to abandon his undercover life and return home. Itβs based on a critically acclaimed French series and is on Paramount+ with Showtime. π¬ Parting ThoughtsAs always, thanks so much for reading!
