💸 Best Cash Back Cards + Earn up to 20% Back

​

This week, I shared the top cash back credit cards in 2025 to maximize your rewards. I also went deep on how to leverage signup bonuses to earn up to 20% back on all your spending. And as always, feel free to check out our Best Cards Page that has offers for 100+ cards.

📑 How I Make Bookkeeping So Easy

Today’s newsletter is sponsored by… Kick​

With so many great consumer finance apps, why have the options for your business been so terrible? I don't know... but I finally moved everything from Quickbooks to Kick and I couldn't be happier.

​Kick is a simple, beautiful software that's easy to use right out of the box. You can fully customize it to your business and then let their self-driving bookkeeping experience maximize your tax savings (the average Kick user saves $4k on their taxes).

🛫 Travel, Points & Miles

🇮🇸 Iceland 2025 Trip: Last Few Slots!

​

Our Iceland trip last year was such a great hit (it's one of the best trips Amy and I have ever taken) that we decided to add in 2 more trips in the Fall of 2025. While our 9/12 trip is sold out, we still have a few spots left for the 9/28 trip. Everything you need to know about the trip is here.

🏨 Earn Double Hotel Points

🤝🏻 Double Status Match: Club Avolta + Radisson Rewards

This status match opportunity involves a two-step process: first, match Club Avolta Platinum status with an existing status from an airline or hotel loyalty program. Then match that status to Radisson Rewards VIP status via the Club Avolta app (step-by-step directions here).

Radisson Rewards VIP status offers benefits such as room upgrades, free breakfast, early check-in and check-out, and access to exclusive VIP areas while, Club Avolta Platinum status offers a 10% discount on airport shopping and 5% off select food and drink outlets.

🧳 Free Luggage Tags from Delta & United

If you have elite status with either Delta or United, you can get a customized luggage tag with your name, membership details, and more. Not sure how long stocks will last, but check this link for Delta tags and here for United tags.

🚢 Virgin Voyages Cruise Deals (Starting at 115k for 2)

Virgin Voyages has 25 all-inclusive cruise deals bookable with Virgin Red points for sailings through the end of 2025 across the Caribbean, Atlantic Coast, Mediterranean, and Northern Europe.

For example, a 4-night Caribbean cruise is as low as 115k points, which could be as little as 89k points from this 30% transfer bonus (through 2/17). Or if you bought the points with the current 70% bonus, it could cost as little as $1277.

🤑 Latest Deals

💳 50% Off CardPointers+

​CardPointers+ is one of my favorite apps for getting the most out of my credit cards because it keeps track of all your card benefits and automatically activates offers for all your cards. In celebration of their 6th anniversary, you can get ​50% off until 2/17—so now is a great time to check it out!

🧋Free Drink at Capital One Cafés

If you have a Capital One card, you can get a free beverage at any Capital One Café till 6/29. Just make sure to sign up here to receive your coupon.

💰 Points & Miles on Sale

While I wouldn’t recommend buying points speculatively, if you’re familiar with these programs or have a specific redemption in mind, you should consider these deals. Expiration dates are in parentheses.

🏷️ 4-Pack Apple AirTags for $69.99

AirTags are at the lowest price I've ever seen, with a 4-pack for $69.99 at Amazon and Best Buy. They're so useful for many things, but my favorite use cases are tracking checked bags when traveling and putting them in these bracelets for the kids when we're in busy or crowded places.

🛵 Updated Card Benefits for DoorDash

A partnership between DoorDash and a popular bank* has updated benefits for select cardholders. Depending on your card, you could get a free annual DashPass membership and increased monthly/quarterly credits. More details are here.

*For compliance reasons, we can’t include names of all cards/banks.

🕵️ Great Finds

📱U.S. Mobile New Unlimited Premium Plan

​U.S. Mobile just launched the Unlimited Premium plan, which includes unlimited high-priority data, full-speed HD streaming, mobile hotspot, 10GB of international data and more. Plus, their new Multi-Network Functionality lets you add another network free until 3/31 ($15 after). If you end up singing up and want to support me, my referral link is here!

🕵🏾‍♂️ Show Recommendation: Paradise

​

I'm a sucker for shows set in a dystopian future and didn't have any context going into this show, so some of the surprises from the first episode were awesome. The high level premise is a Secret Service agent investigating the murder of a former president, but I'd suggest checking out episode one without any more context. It's on Hulu.
