It\u2019s a points, miles, travel, and credit card newsletter created by my friends, Kara and Nate (they run a big YouTube channel of the same name). Daily Drop keeps you informed about the latest news and information around points &amp; miles, as well as updates across the airline and hotel industries. <\/p>\n<p>While the newsletter is free, they also have a subscription service called Daily Drop Pro, which promises even more points deals, alerts, and tools to help you find the award availability you need for your next trip.<\/p>\n<p>But does it deliver? Is it worth the price?<\/p>\n<p>As Daily Drop has gotten bigger, I\u2019ve gotten questions about the service from readers so I figured it was time to breakdown the service and talk about who it is right for.<\/p>\n<h3>What is Daily Drop Pro?<\/h3>\n<p>According to the team at Daily Drop, Daily Drop Pro was created to be your one-stop shop for flights and hotels (whether with points or cash), deals, and chatting with like minded people in their community forum. The service has five main features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flight Points Search<\/li>\n<li>Hotel Points Search<\/li>\n<li>Deal Alerts<\/li>\n<li>Wallets<\/li>\n<li>Daily Drop Pro Lounge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let\u2019s walk through all of them.<\/p>\n<h3>Flights Point Search<\/h3>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"675\" height=\"395\" alt=\"Nomadic Matt sitting on a bridge in Vienna, Austria\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theblyde.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1746021718_715_My-Daily-Drop-Pro-Review.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theblyde.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1746021718_715_My-Daily-Drop-Pro-Review.jpg\" width=\"675\" height=\"395\" alt=\"Nomadic Matt sitting on a bridge in Vienna, Austria\"\/><br \/>There are lots of websites that let you search for points flights. In addition to Daily Drop, there\u2019s Point.me, Seats.aero, Points Path (a chrome browser extension), and a few others. The space has become incredibly crowded in the last few years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What makes Daily Drop Pro Different?<\/strong><br \/>The main feature that I really, really like is that you change your preferences to narrow the results based on time of day, stops, duration, maximum points, and aircraft type (which is a feature that is unique to them). They also have a feature that lets you compare the cash rate but that just sends you Google Flights and I don\u2019t think that a real selling point. I think the real edge here is that you can get really specific on the award flights you want, which is something the other services lack.<\/p>\n<h3>Hotel Points Search<\/h3>\n<p>Daily Drop Pro also lets you search for award space for hotels. There\u2019s not a lot of other competitors in this space and Daily Drop has a ton of options that let you customize your results based on points, programs, award certificates, which hotel programs you can transfer credit cards points, and so many more. I think the hotel award search is the best in class and, like the flight search, its ability to let you get hyper specific is really awesome.<\/p>\n<h3>Deal Alerts<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"675\" height=\"395\" alt=\"Nomadic Matt sitting on a bridge in Vienna, Austria\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theblyde.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1746021718_187_My-Daily-Drop-Pro-Review.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theblyde.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1746021718_187_My-Daily-Drop-Pro-Review.jpg\" width=\"675\" height=\"395\" alt=\"Nomadic Matt sitting on a bridge in Vienna, Austria\"\/><br \/>This feature lists points and cash deals. It\u2019s really cool because you can see not only award fare sales (which happen all the time but are a pain in the butt to keep track of) but also cash fare deals. You can select your home airports, choose your preferred travel regions, and let the deals decide your destinations.<\/p>\n<p>Daily Drop Pro\u2019s points deals are detailed, too \u2014 showing the taxes and fees of an award, which program to book through and how the redemption stacks up to Daily Drop\u2019s point valuations. It\u2019s one of the more comprehensive deal feeds out there.<\/p>\n<h3>Wallet &amp; Points Management<\/h3>\n<p>The Wallet lets to link your different accounts (award programs and credit cards) and have them all displayed in one place. Plus, it will remind you of all the perks, credits, and other benefits you get with each card \/ loyalty program.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a lot of different cards, this can be really helpful because it can be confusing to remember all the perk and deals that come with each card. Heck, even I forget sometimes and I\u2019m expert at this stuff (but when you start to have double digit cards, it\u2019s a lot to remember)!<\/p>\n<h3>The Daily Drop Pro Lounge<\/h3>\n<p>The lounge allows you to chat with other members. It\u2019s a message board and like all message boards it didn\u2019t seem that active. It\u2019s a good feature but not one that I would rely on given that there\u2019s not a lot of activity on the forum.<\/p>\n<h3>How much does Daily Drop Pro cost?<\/h3>\n<p>Daily Drop Pro Membership is $149 a year.<\/p>\n<h3>Is Daily Drop Pro worth it?<\/h3>\n<p>I think Daily Drop Pro is a good product if you have a lot of credit cards and are heavy into the points &amp; miles game. Inputting all your cards and membership programs takes some initial start up time but the ability to track all your points, benefits, and rewards in one place is really convenient. As I said, even I forget about card benefits sometimes. It\u2019s hard to keep multiple cards in your head so having it in one place is nice.<\/p>\n<p>The hotel award feature is definitely the best in class. And, while there are other airline search tools, I do like the increased search filters (especially the ability to filter by plane type!).<\/p>\n<p>And the deals feature can allow you to keep track of all the deals happening in one place rather than subscribe to multiple newsletters and websites.<\/p>\n<p>So, is the service worth $12 a month? I think so. Daily Drop Pro essentially bundles lots of other programs, improves on them, and puts them all into one dashboard for you and that is a real time saver. I think the service is definitely worth it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-booking\">\n<h4>Book Your Trip: Logistical Tips and Tricks<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Book Your Flight<\/strong><br \/>Find a cheap flight by using Skyscanner.
