I’m sorry if I’m annoying anyone by writing about this bonus offer every week, but 100k points is not something I want any of you to miss out on.
That’s 25k more points being offered than usual, and it could get you things like multiple round-trip flights to Europe, a weekend at a five-star hotel, a lie-flat seat to Japan, and more. So don’t miss out unless you hate flying for free…

European Airlines and Airports Want to Suspend EES
|
|
Well, this certainly doesn’t bode well, but European airlines and airports are calling to suspend the recently launched Entry/Exit System (EES). The system, which faced many delays and was highly anticipated, appears not to be up to snuff.
🛂 Why do airlines want to suspend EES?
EES, which was supposed to cut down wait times and lines at border patrol in Schengen states, appears to be causing more delays and airport congestion. It also doesn’t help that it was launched during the critical summer travel period. (An interesting move if I do say so myself).
The Airports Council International (ACI) Europe sent a letter to President Ursula von Der Leyen asking for EES to be suspended at least through July and August.
⏳ How will this affect travelers?
As of right now, EES is still in place, and airports are working hard to make it go smoothly, so don’t bet on it going away if you have a trip coming up soon.
Instead, be practical. Make sure you are leaving yourself enough time to get through airport security and border patrol. If you have a Euro-trip coming up, arrive early and be prepared.

What If Cravings Aren’t Your Fault?
|
|
Did you hear about the group of PhD scientists from Johns Hopkins, Harvard, and Stanford who
walked into a lab—and left with a breakthrough probiotic in hand?
These scientists zeroed in on one of the most beneficial strains for gut health, Akkermansia
muciniphila. They figured out how to bring live Akkermansia muciniphila to the probiotics market.
The final result of their work? Pendulum’s Metabolic Daily probiotic.
This particular strain is so groundbreaking because it can help strengthen gut lining, improve
metabolic and digestive health, and support natural GLP-1 signaling pathways.* Users report:
With more than 15k medical provider recommendations, 4.5k mentions of Akkermansia
muciniphila in scientific publications, and loyal customers like Halle Berry, this stuff sure sounds
promising.
Try Metabolic Daily probiotic yourself and take 48% off. HSA/FSA eligible.

Where to Travel in August on a Budget
|
|
Summer always seemingly passes by in the blink of an eye. It’s odd—the days are longer, but I can’t seem to find enough time for all the fun. If you still haven’t had a chance to book a summer trip this year, don’t miss out. Here’s where to travel in August on a budget.
August is expensive, but you can still cut costs if you pick the right place and travel late in the month. Focus on areas like Mexico City, Vietnam, Romania, Bulgaria’s Black Sea Coast, Colombia, Albania’s Riviera, and Lisbon because they balance lower day-to-day costs, decent flight options, and weather that still works in August. But there are many options. See our full breakdown here.
☀️ Here’s the short version:
-
Best low daily costs: Vietnam, Mexico City, Romania
-
Best beach value: Bulgaria and Albania
-
Best city trips: Mexico City, Medellín, Lisbon
-
Best time to fly: August 17–31
-
Best departure days: Tuesday or Wednesday
-
Big flight rule: Late-August fares can drop 20–40 percent versus early August
✅ Keep these things in mind
The main takeaway is simple: if you want the best August deal, don’t just chase the cheapest flight. Look for places where hotels, meals, and local transit stay low after you land. That’s where the savings add up. I’d keep the focus on total trip cost, weather tradeoffs, and late-August timing.
Once you’ve picked one of the destinations above, timing your fare search becomes the biggest factor in what you’ll pay. August is still an expensive month to fly, but the timing can make a big difference.
The best stretch to watch is the last two weeks of August, especially August 17–31. That’s when fares often fall 20 to 40 percent as schools reopen and demand starts to cool off.
The day you leave matters too. It’s not just about where you go. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are often 15 to 25 percent cheaper than weekend departures, while Sundays tend to cost the most, at about 16 percent more than midweek flights. If you combine a late-August trip with a midweek departure, you can often lower the price without changing your destination.
