It’s time for another Midweek Mini, and this week we are serving up a News Roundup Sandwich. From exciting new transfer bonuses to one painful devaluation, and one VERY exciting elevated offer -we’re walking through the latest points and miles updates you need to know.

We’re breaking down the Capital One 30% transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic, Citi’s Wyndham bonus, Chase’s Air France/KLM offer, and why the Amex to Hilton 25% transfer bonus might be the best play yet—especially if you’re eyeing a spring break or summer getaway. Plus, we chat about when to move points, how to maximize fifth-night-free stays, and why Membership Rewards feel like a renewable resource compared to Chase Ultimate Rewards.

Stay tuned, because this midweek roundup might spark your next big redemption.

What’s it really like to explore Paris, Bayeux and Normandy on points with three kids in tow? In this episode, Mary Ellen picks up the next chapter of her European adventure and shares the highlights (and surprises!) from her family’s time in France. From climbing to a free Parisian viewpoint with stunning Eiffel Tower views to staying in a charming chateau in Bayeux booked with her Venture X credit, this leg of the trip was unforgettable.

We dive into her day trip to the beaches of Normandy, including Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery, with a guided tour that brought history to life. Mary Ellen opens up about the emotional impact of visiting these sites, why it was worth the splurge, and how she made it work with kids — even with a toddler in tow.

If Paris, Bayeux, or a D-Day tour has ever been on your bucket list, this episode will give you practical tips, inspiration, and a peek behind the scenes of family travel on points.

This week on our Midweek Mini, we get real about the struggle of choosing between multiple credit cards, elevated signup bonuses, and chasing a Southwest companion pass. We share our own moments of analysis paralysis and shiny new card syndrome, plus a few really hasty decisions that got one of us into some trouble. We also share tips for families on maximizing points, lounge access, and making smarter credit card decisions without losing your mind.
