Just miss out on a big, limited-time credit card welcome offer? Wish you would have known about an excellent transfer bonus? Don't let it happen again. 

With our free Extra Mile newsletter, we deliver a weekly roundup of the latest (and best) credit card offers, other points and miles news, and next-level tips and tricks to maximize your miles – all straight to your inbox.

This is not another daily newsletter. You can expect a newsletter every Monday morning, rounding up the biggest news in the world of award travel – plus the occasional, one-off bulletin when a bank rolls out a new, can't-miss bonus.

We break down the best (time-sensitive) credit card offers and points deals in a few short paragraphs so you get all the information you need, without the fluff. Oh … and best of all? It's completely free to subscribe!

Here's an example of what you can expect. Last week, we caught wind that Amex would soon be closing the loophole that allows travelers with Membership Rewards points to transfer them to Alaska Airlines … in a roundabout way. This is a golden opportunity to turn Amex points into hard-to-earn Alaska miles and book some really amazing trips – and not just with Alaska Airlines, but its global network of partners, too. 

So we shed some light on this workaround for our Extra Mile subscribers, along with some of the best ways to put a stash of Alaska miles to use … while you still can.  

Take a look for yourself.

Other times, you might get an email breaking down:

The topics of discussion are always rotating based on the latest in the ever-changing world of points and miles … but we promise to make it worth your time – and to keep it brief. To cap things off, we always finish with a question or redemption of the week, highlighting our readers, their travels, and what's on their mind. 

The main goal of this newsletter is to be educational, simple, and relevant. You don't need to be a points and miles expert to get value out of it – just the opposite. But even seasoned points and miles aficionados will find something to learn, too. 

If this sounds like news you can use, join the thousands of other travelers who are currently subscribed to ensure you don't miss out on another big offer or deal going forward.
