Venmo cardholders, check your inboxes! Some folks are getting targeted offers for an extra 5% cashback on all purchases made between November 24th and December 24th of next year. This means you could earn a whopping 8% cashback on your top spending category, 7% on your second, and 6% on everything else. Whoa!
Now, before you get too excited and start planning that dream vacation, there's a catch (isn't there always?). The bonus is capped at $30, which means you'll only get the boosted cashback on the first $600 you spend. Still, free money is free money, right? If you were already planning on doing some holiday shopping or have any big purchases coming up, this is an easy way to pad your wallet a little bit.
This matters because it's a targeted offer, so not everyone will have it. Keep an eye on your email (especially the promotions tab) to see if you're one of the lucky ones! And remember, even though it's not a huge amount, every little bit helps when you're trying to maximize your travel rewards. Happy spending!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
