Perplexity AI, one of the buzziest AI search tools out there, is giving away a free year of their Pro plan! If you're curious about AI and how it can supercharge your travel research (think crafting itineraries or finding hidden gems), this is a sweet deal. All you have to do is connect your Venmo account.

Now, here's the catch, and it's a big one: you're automatically enrolled in auto-billing after the free year. So, mark your calendar! If you don't want to get charged for a second year, you'll need to cancel your subscription before the renewal date. It's the same deal they previously offered through PayPal, so keep an eye out for these promos! And just a reminder, the author of this blog doesn't use AI to write any of the articles.

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.
