December 22, 2024: We’ve checked for new Southwest Florida codes.

What are the latest Southwest Florida codes? In this RPG, you can become whoever you want to be. More often than not, though, the goal is to earn enough cash to buy the best ride that money can buy. Some codes will give you more than enough to afford a new car, while others will put you closer to buying your dream vehicle.

To afford this lifestyle, you’ll need cold, hard cash, and with these Southwest Florida codes, you’ll have plenty to spend on nice cars in this Roblox experience. Of course, there are other similar games available, so if you’d rather take to the crime-filled streets, we have all the current Da Hood codes and Pet Simulator 99 codes. Or if you prefer something a little more chill, then these Berry Avenue codes may help you get the best outfit.

Decmber 22, 2024: We’ve checked for new Slap Battles codes.

What are the new Slap Battles codes? In this Roblox experience, the only thing that matters is getting the most slaps. For each one you get, you can work your way closer to having the most destructive palm in the galaxy.

There are plenty of other Roblox experiences out there if this one loses its appeal, and we have the latest freebies for the likes of Blade Ball codes, Anime Last Stand codes, and Toilet Tower Defense codes. Without further ado, these Slap Battles codes will give you a bit of a boost to get started.

We’re always tracking our list of active Monopoly Go dice links, so we’ll make it clear when new links have been added and remove any expired ones from the list. If you’re experiencing any issues claiming the dice rolls, we recommend opening the links using an incognito window. You also might want to try using a different browser to ensure you don’t have any conflicting browser extensions.

How do I redeem Monopoly Go dice links?

To use the Monopoly Go! dice links above, you’ll need to be at least level 15 to unlock albums. Then, return to our guide and click on the links above in order.

Your browser will ask if you want to open the link in Monopoly Go – agree to this, and it will open to redeem your free Monopoly Go dice rolls in-game. If it’s been successful, a pop-up will appear showing how many dice rolls you’ve received.

Where can I find new safe Monopoly Go dice links?

Bookmarking this guide is the most surefire way to get new Monopoly Go dice links when they pop up, as there are plenty of opportunists online providing links that could contain malware or other dangerous content. Be safe!

Without following links, you could also add more free Monopoly Go dice rolls by completing albums. As you progress through the game and complete goals, events, or tournaments, you can earn sticker packs. Once you complete a sticker pack set, you will earn rewards such as free dice rolls and money.

Inviting friends to Monopoly Go will earn you 30 free dice rolls whenever someone signs up, too. Not only that, but as you level up your net worth you will receive up to hundreds of free dice rolls.

There are also in-game ways to earn free Monopoly Go dice such as:

• Quick Wins – Players can earn free dice rolls with Quick Wins missions by completing in-game tasks. Find out what you’ve unlocked by checking the button left side of the screen, next to the landmark symbol.
• Daily Treats – Earn rewards simply by logging into the game for the first time each day. Not only does this give you a reward, you also earn progress to unlock additional prizes, including free dice rolls.
• Community Chest – This minigame is available every day as a daily mission, giving you and your friends a chance to open the Community Chest and earn 10 free rolls.
• Stickers – Any stickers you earn through the game are placed in your ‘Album’ which you can get to immediately by tapping the safe in the bottom right corner. You can swap your duplicate stickers with other players to complete your collection, or exchange them using the ‘stickers for rewards’ function.
• Albums and sets – Completing sticker albums earns you free dice rolls, and you can earn even more if you manage to finish an entire album book.
• Friend invites – Invite your friends to play Monopoly Go for the first time and you’ll receive free dice rolls when they download and install it,
• Landing on shields – The best thing you can do before you land on a shield tile is to have full shields first. The cost of your dice roll is refunded back to you in the form of free dice rolls if you don’t claim any shields.
• Auto regeneration – You’re able to generate free dice rolls every 60 minutes, though this does depend on your net worth.
• Free gift – Just like the daily treats, you need to be claim this gift once it appears every 18 hours. Most of the time, the gift is dice rolls!

Why aren’t your Monopoly go dice links working?

We verify each of the Monopoly Go dice links before they go into our guide to ensure they’re active as they should be. There’s also the possibility that you may have already redeemed the free dice. If this is the case, you should see a message appear that reads, “This reward has already been claimed.” Meanwhile, expired codes appear as “Sorry, this code cannot be claimed.”

If you’re getting an issue where the link isn’t launching the Monopoly Go app, instead sending you to your platform’s webstore, you should try redeeming them through a different browser even if your current one has worked previously.

If you just can’t get enough of the freebies, we’ve also got all the latest Wuthering Waves codes and Genshin Impact codes. Or you can check out our rundown of the next Monopoly Go event to look forward to.

The most luxurious family-friendly stay at Four Seasons Boston @fsboston
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
If you’ve been following along, you know we recently took a trip through New England for leaf-peeing and sightseeing amidst the crisp, Autumn foliage.

We concluded our 10-day roadtrip at the amazing Four Seasons property in the historic city of Boston, Massachusetts.

Four Seasons is known for their luxury and incredible service, but they really kick things up a notch for families here:

The Mystery Toy Closet: As part of the VIK experience (aka Very Important Kid Experience), guests are given a large golden key that grants access to an AMAZING toy closet behind the front desk. Filled with trinkets like rubber ducks, slinkys, coloring books, and–Ollie’s favorite–wiggly frogs, this was SUCH an amazing and one-of-a-kind treat to experience.

The Vault: One of the newer features to the Four Seasons Boston: a small room on each guest floor filled with complimentary snacks, candy, and beverages to grab-and-go!

Amenities: Once again, Four Seasons has outdone itself with its amazing service. This city retreat offers a complimentary coffee bar for guests (and hot chocolate for the little ones), 24-hour gym, a pool with a fantastic view, a world-class spa, and even a morning run club to get your Boston marathon fix in!

 The Food: Whether it’s in-room dining you’re after, quaint tea service in-between sight-seeing, or you want to experience New England’s famous seafood, Four Seasons treats your tastebuds with exquisite table-side service at their restaurant, Coterie.

This was truly such a luxurious end to our trip, I wish we could have extended it just so we could enjoy more time at this fantastic property.

A huge thank you to @fsboston for hosting us on our dream trip to New England and concluding our stay with memories that will last a LIFETIME!

Having reliable mobile data when you travel is a must these days. It’s helpful not only for finding things to do or the right bus route, but communicating in an emergency and locating your accommodation if you get lost.

While I think a lot of travelers spend too much time on their phone, the fact of the matter is that modern travel requires mobile data.

In the past, that meant paying excessive roaming fees to your phone provider or finding and buying physical SIM cards at the airport. I used to spend fortune on mobile data whenever I went on a long trip. It sucked.

Fortunately, today, there’s a cheaper and more convenient solution: eSIMs.

I started using eSIMs recently and they’ve been a game changer.

So, in this post, I’ll break down what exactly an eSIM is and share my favorite eSIM companies so that you can stay connected on your next trip — without breaking the bank.

What is an eSIM?

A SIM card is a small memory card that you insert into your smartphone in order to make calls and use mobile data. It has unique identifiers that ensure that when people call you, the call comes to your device (and not someone else’s). You generally get one from your phone provider when you sign your contract.

An eSIM is a digital version of this.

Instead of a physical memory card, you instead install software on your smartphone that replicates the same functions as the physical card. Most smartphones only have a single port for a physical SIM card, so the benefit of using eSIMs is that you can have multiple eSIMs on a single device.

For example, if you’re from Germany and are visiting the United States, you’ll need to physically remove your German SIM card on arrival and install a physical US SIM card if you want to avoid paying excessive roaming fees. But once you swap SIM cards, you won’t be able to receive calls or texts to your German phone number unless you physically remove the US SIM card and put the German SIM card back into your phone.

This is a tedious process if you need to access multiple numbers during your trip. Hence the convenience of eSIMs. They make it super easy to visit multiple countries each year without having to juggle SIM cards. And since they let you get set up before you arrive, you can get mobile data the minute you touch down.

Why use an eSIM?

Convenience – Not only can you set up your eSIM from the comfort of home, but you can do it before you leave so it’s ready when you arrive. (If you forget to do so, you can purchase an eSIM and get connected in seconds.) Plus, you can also extend your plans or upgrade them on the fly, which is much easier (and faster) than having to extend the plan for a physical SIM card.

Price – eSIMs are super cheap now, with plans starting at just $4–5 USD. That’s a fraction of what you’ll pay for a roaming plan!

Extra Perks – Some companies (such as Jetpac) offer extra perks beyond just the eSIM data package. These can include things like lounge access for delayed flights and free VPN trials.

Customer Service – If you buy a SIM card on arrival at the airport, you can’t really go back to that airport kiosk if you have a problem since you’ll likely have traveled onward. With an eSIM, you’ll have 24/7 access to online support for questions and troubleshooting.

Multiple Usage – While some eSIMs will expire, it’s possible to get eSIMs that you can reuse again and again, saving you time and energy.

 

The Best eSIMs for Travelers

Jetpac
Jetpac is a travel eSIM company founded in Singapore. They offer affordable mobile data coverage to over 150 destinations around the world. I like that they offer regional bundles so that you can visit more than one country with the same eSIM and still have reliable coverage.

What I especially love, though, is that it’s just a one-time installation. Many other eSIMs require a new installation for each new eSIM that you buy. That’s not the case with Jetpac, making this a great choice for travelers who want a hassle-free eSIM (especially travelers who are less tech savvy).

Jetpac doesn’t just offer eSIMs though. They actually have some pretty solid travel perks, which, in my mind, is what makes them the best eSIM for travelers. This includes free lounge access at the airport if your flight is delayed, and a free trail of ExpressVPN (which can keep your mobile data safe and secure while abroad).

Jetpac at a glance:

• Affordable prices starting at just $1 USD
• Free lounge access for flight delays
• Free ExpressVPN trial
• Exclusive discounts on airport lounges and fast tracks, offering over 40% off
• Data packs are valid one year from purchase
• Simple, one-time installation
• Hot spot capabilities

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about eSIMs:

Do eSIMs support phone calls and SMS messages or just data?
Some eSIMs do, though most eSIMs currently offer data only. If you need to be able to make local or international calls on a data-only eSIM, there are a lot of ways to do this (like WiFi calling, Google Voice, or Skype).

How do I activate an eSIM?
You can activate an eSIM by scanning a QR code provided by your carrier or by entering activation details in your phone’s settings. All eSIM providers will have detailed instructions on how to activate their eSIM, and all good carriers should have 24/7 customer support to help you if needed.

Which devices support eSIM?
Most newer (post-2018) smartphones support eSIMs. Most providers have a list of phone models that support eSIMs, so make sure to check before purchasing one (especially if you have an older phone).

Can I use both an eSIM and a physical SIM on my device?
Many (though not all) devices offer dual-SIM functionality, allowing you to use both an eSIM and a physical SIM at the same time. Make sure to look into international roaming charges with your home provider before you keep your physical SIM active abroad. If you want to ensure that it doesn’t automatically connect while abroad (usually incurring high roaming charges), make sure to turn off roaming for your physical SIM.

Can I switch between eSIM profiles?
Yes, you can store multiple eSIM profiles on your device and switch between them. Some newer phone models allow two eSIMs to be active at once, while others only allow one to be active at a time.

How secure is an eSIM?
eSIMs are considered more secure than physical SIM cards because they are embedded in the device and harder to tamper with.

Can I transfer an eSIM to a new device?
Some carriers allow you to transfer an eSIM to a new device, but you may need to request a new activation code from your carrier. Some carriers also only let you transfer eSIMs once, so make sure to check before doing so if you need to.

From booking activities to using Google Maps to calling an Uber, having mobile data makes travel easier (and safer). Fortunately, it’s never been easier to access mobile data. eSIMs are affordable, easy to use, and can even have awesome extra perks (like Jetpac’s Jetpass).

I use an eSIM whenever I travel and I encourage you to do the same. They are the best way to stay connected and make the most of your travels — no matter where you are going!

If you’re a frequent traveler, you know that planning multiple trips throughout the year can be a logistical challenge. There are lots of moving parts to organize, from flights to accommodation to activities. And it gets even more challenging if you’re traveling with friends or family.

In fact, there’s so much to keep track of that most people neglect one of the most important things you can take on any trip: travel insurance.

A lot of travelers avoid even thinking about travel insurance. Comparing prices and plans seems like a hassle (and an unnecessary expense to boot). After all, you probably won’t need it, and then you’ve just paid for nothing.

But you haven’t paid for “nothing.” You’ve paid for assurance that you have a plan in place should the unexpected or unfortunate happen while you’re abroad. And if something does happen, you will be very glad that you have coverage. Accidents and mishaps that happen on the road can add up quickly, leaving you hundreds (if not thousands) out of pocket.

After over 15 years of traveling the world, travel insurance is the one thing I never leave home without. It’s that important!

And while finding and comparing plans used to be time-consuming (I’ve read a lot of fine print over the years), it’s never been easier to learn about new plans. Gone are the days of having to buy a new plan for each and every trip too, thanks to the growing number of annual multi trip plans.

World Nomads, a company I’ve been recommending for over a decade, has just launched its own Annual Travel Protection Plan for US residents. Here’s everything you need to know to decide if it’s the best plan for your next journey:

What is World Nomads?

World Nomads is a travel insurance* company that started out geared towards backpackers and adventure travelers, with an extensive list of more than 250 adventure sports and activities covered. It’s the one I used on my first big trip around the world (and have used it dozens of times since).

They’ve been around for over twenty years and provide coverage for people from more than a hundred countries. Through World Nomads, you can get international and domestic coverage when traveling at least 100 miles from home for:

• Emergency medical and dental work
• Sudden illness and injury
• Medical evacuation and repatriation
• 24-hour emergency medical assistance
• Lost, stolen or damaged baggage
• Cancellations and interruptions
• Trip and baggage delay
• Over 250 types of adventure activities
• And more!

Overall, World Nomads is a solid travel insurance company for travelers who want bundled coverage. While there are cheaper plans out there, World Nomads offers multiple plans to choose from and varying levels of coverage (especially when it comes to cancellations and adventure activities).

If you’re going to be doing a lot of outdoor activities and want a variety of covered activities available, World Nomads is the company I recommend.

That said, since I’ve already covered World Nomads in depth in this review, today I’m going to focus on their new Annual Plan. It’s something that many travelers have asked me about, both in my inbox and on our travel insurance webinars. I’m glad to see they’ve created an Annual Plan to fill this need.

What is the World Nomads Annual Travel Protection Plan?

Previously, World Nomads only offered single-trip protection plans. You bought a plan for a predefined period and destination, and that was it.

But what if you travel a lot throughout the year? It’s a hassle to have to buy a new plan every time. Those single-trip plans add up too.

With World Nomads annual plans, however, you pay once and get travel protection for multiple countries, and for an unlimited number of trips up to 45-days long through the entire year. This not only simplifies your planning but could save you money in the long run.

There are four caveats though.

First, each trip under the annual plan is capped at 45 days. Most travelers don’t travel abroad for that long, though, so I don’t really consider that a negative.

Second, annual plans do not auto-renew, so you’ll need to purchase a new plan each year. That said, World Nomads sends a reminder a month before your current plan expires, so this isn’t really a big deal either.

Third, the US Annual Plan is only available to be purchased independently per traveler. The plan is not available for family or couple purchases like the single trip plans; however, you can purchase individual Annual Plans for each member of your family under the age of 69.

Fourth, and most important, the Annual Plan is currently only available to US residents (except residents of Missouri, Montana, New York or Washington). World Nomads also offers a similar Annual Multi Trip plans for UK and Ireland residents, but coverages vary compared to the US plan. Hopefully, if it’s successful, they will expand it to more countries in the future.

What does World Nomads’ Annual Travel Protection Plan cover?

The coverage under a World Nomads Annual Plan is similar to that of its single-trip plans. As a plan holder, you’ll get coverage for more than 250 adventure activities, trip cancellation, emergency medical expenses, and some for lost and stolen gear.

Here’s exactly what’s covered found on the World Nomads website:

The plans also cover incidents that occur while you’re participating in any of 250+ adventure activities in the following categories:

Most activities are included in the Annual Plan. More extensive activities could be covered on the single trip Explorer and Epic Plans. To give you an example, zip-lining and snorkeling are covered by Standard and Annual plans, while heli-skiing is covered by the Explorer plan and free soloing is only covered by the Epic Plan.

Here are all the water-related activities that World Nomads covers:

Of course, there are also things World Nomads does not cover. These include (but aren’t limited to):

• Engaging in any illegal activities
• Incidents that occur when under the influence of alcohol or other drugs
• Non-emergency medical treatment that can wait until you return home

In short, World Nomads offers travel insurance, not health insurance. It’s there for when the unexpected happens, not for ongoing treatment or checkups.

Additional Perks for all USA Travel Protection Plans

In addition to rolling out the new annual plan, World Nomads is expanding the non-insurance services included within all USA travel protection plans.

• 24/7 Emergency Assistance supports you in emergency situations, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The support team can get you to the nearest hospital or consulate, offer translation services and provide guidance in emergency situations.
• FootPrint ID allows to you to keep track of your medical records and emergency contacts in one place. This is helpful in emergency situations when healthcare providers need quick answers regarding your medical history, prescriptions and contacts.
• Blue Ribbon Bags offers delayed and lost luggage retrieval services. They can track and expedite the return of delayed airline baggage for outbound flights and are available to assist 24/7.
• Runway Health provides free pre-trip online health consultations so travelers can get access to prescriptions and vaccinations for common travel needs like altitude sickness and malaria before taking off for their trip.

Pros of World Nomads’ Annual Travel Protection Plan

• Covers you for an unlimited number of trips within a year
• Cost-effective and convenient (you don’t have to buy a new plan for each trip)
• Coverage for over 250 activities
• Coverage for domestic and international travel
• Access to 24/7 Emergency Assistance, FootPrint ID, Runway Health and Blue Ribbon Bags
• Online claims processing

Cons of Annual Multi-Trip Travel Insurance

• Per trip duration limit of 45 days
• Higher up-front cost than purchasing plans individually
• Only available for individual purchase, no family or couple plans
• Only available for USA, UK & Irish residents at this time

Comparing Annual and Single-Trip Plans

The cost-effectiveness of annual versus single-trip insurance depends on your habits. If you take multiple trips each year, both domestically and internationally, 12-month travel insurance could save you money.

Let’s say that within a year, you plan to travel to Thailand for three weeks, Paris for a long weekend, Mexico for one month, the Bahamas for 10 days, Iceland for a long weekend, and then Spain for a week. If you got annual travel insurance, the quote for a 40-year-old person from the US would be $506 USD. Not bad at all for an entire year’s worth of coverage (that’s just over $42 USD per month)!

If you were to get separate policies for each trip, it would total around $635 USD. Not to mention the added convenience of only having to buy the plan once and get coverage for the entire year. Plus, you’d still be able to go on more trips (or extend your trips) with the annual plan without spending more money!

While prices vary depending on factors such as where you’re going, the length of the trip, and your planned activities, most of the time, it’s a no-brainer to get the annual plan. It’s just so easy and hassle-free.

Both annual and single-trip plans offer the same benefits too. That includes trip cancellation, emergency medical expenses, and personal baggage coverage.

Remember, limits and exclusions may vary. No matter what plan you get, it’s essential to review the plan details carefully.

Who is World Nomads Annual Plan for?

World Nomads annual plan is best for frequent travelers who take several trips throughout the year. You can sign up for a plan once a year, and then go about your travels without thinking about it again. Simply purchase a new plan when the time comes (you’ll get an email reminder).

Personally, I think a lot of travelers who do lots of short weekend trips will find this plan super helpful, as you won’t have to purchase a plan every single time you want to get away. The saved time and money alone make the annual plan worth it, in my opinion.

That said, annual plan is not ideal for full-time digital nomads, since each trip is capped at 45 days. Additionally, World Nomads only covers unexpected emergencies, so if you’re a digital nomad looking for ongoing health insurance (i.e., for non-emergencies), you’ll want to look elsewhere.

***

Having used World Nomads for over 15 years, I think these new additions are a game changer. While they are only available in the US, UK and Ireland currently, I’m super excited to see what direction the company is moving in. Baggage retrieval service, pre-trip online health consultations — these are awesome perks that I know every traveler is going to appreciate.

Don’t let the hassle of arranging travel insurance for each trip hold you back from exploring the world. Get a quote for World Nomads’ Annual travel insurance plan today and enjoy coverage all year round. Safe travels!

*Travel insurance is included as part of the World Nomads travel protection plan which contains both insurance benefits and non-insurance assistance services. U.S. travel protection plan are serviced by their partner Trip Mate, a Generali Global Assistance & Insurance Services brand, who administers both customer service and claims for U.S. customers.

I love visiting Japan. Even after multiple visits, I never get tired of wandering the country’s historic temples, feasting on its incredible sushi, and soaking up the breakneck pace of life in Tokyo.

After over half a dozen visits, I’ve learned through trial and error how to best explore the country. English isn’t widely spoken, and once you get out of the big cities, it’s even less common. That means things like online maps and translation apps are vital for every traveler.

To ensure you stay connected during your trip, you’re going to want to buy an eSIM. It’s the best way to ensure you have mobile data as you explore the country.

But which eSIM is the best for traveling Japan?

In this post, I’ll breakdown why I think Jetpac is the best eSIM for Japan and why you should consider them for your next visit.

What is Jetpac?

Jetpac is a travel eSIM company founded in Singapore. They offer affordable mobile data coverage to over 150 destinations around the world (including Japan), but they also offer regional bundles so that you can visit more than one country with the same eSIM and still have reliable coverage.

To get an eSIM, you’ll first want to browse their plans to see which duration is best for you. They have plans from 1 GB to 50 GB and 1 day to 30 days, with prices starting at just $4 USD. Their Japan eSIM prices are super competitive and affordable for even the cheapest budget traveler.

Once you’ve picked your plan, you’ll be able to add the eSIM to your device. It’s super simple, but they also have free video tutorials and an FAQ on their site if you run into trouble.

What I especially love is that it’s just a one-time installation. Many other eSIMs require a new installation for each new eSIM that you buy. That’s not the case with Jetpac, which makes this a great choice for travelers who want a hassle free eSIM (especially travelers who are less tech savvy).

You can use a Jetpac eSIM regardless of your current data plan, however, it will only work on unlocked phones.

Additionally, in Japan Jetpac has extensive 5G coverage, which means you’ll have fast and reliable mobile data everywhere you go.

Jetpac doesn’t just offer eSIMs though. They actually have some pretty solid travel perks, which, in my mind, is what makes them the best eSIM for Japan.

Jetpac’s Perks

JetPass is the free suite of benefits that you get access to with any Jetpac purchase. This is where Jetpac really goes above and beyond, as I haven’t seen these benefits with any other eSIM provider. They offer two free perks and two paid add-ons:

SmartDelay (free)
With this feature, you can get free lounge access if your flight is delayed for more than an hour. All you need to do is register your flight in the Jetpac app. If your flight is delayed, you’ll get a digital LoungeKey voucher sent straight to your email. What I really love is that you can even register up to five traveling companions, so if you’re traveling with friends or family, you’ll all be able to get into the lounge.

ExpressVPN trial (free)
Cybersecurity is something that not enough travelers take seriously. I always use a VPN when I travel, and I recommend you do the same. That’s why I think it’s great that Jetpac offers a free 30-day trial of ExpressVPN, one of the best VPN services out there. (You just need to be a new user of ExpressVPN).

Lounge Access (paid)
If you want lounge access no matter what, you can purchase lounge passes at a discount via the Jetpac app. A lounge pass in Asia costs $30 USD, while a lounge pass in the rest of the world costs $35 USD. Considering lounges can cost $40–60 USD per person for a day pass, this is a nice way to get a discount on a pass if you don’t already have access.

You can buy a single pass or buy passes in bundles of up to six passes at a time (you pay less per pass the more passes you purchase at once).

Fast Track (paid)
Jetpac also offers FastTrack passes in Europe and China, where you get access to lanes that let you skip the long lines of security. These passes cost $12 USD for a single pass or $62 USD for a six-pack.

Pros of Jetpac

• Affordable prices starting at just $4 USD
• Lounge access for flight delays
• Free ExpressVPN trial
• Coverage for Japan & neighboring region (includes 17 countries)
• Data packs are valid one year from purchase
• Extensive 5G coverage for Japan
• Simple, one-time installation

Cons of Jetpac

Slightly more expensive than other eSIMs (but their Japan rates are competitive!)

Does not offer calling and SMS messages

FAQ About Jetpac eSIMs

What kinds of phones are compatible with Jetpac eSIMs?
As long as your phone is unlocked and eSIM compatible (pretty much all phones made after 2018 are), you’ll be able to use a Jetpac eSIM!

Can you hotspot with Jetpac eSIMs?
Yes, Jetpac eSIMs have hotspotting capabilities.

Do I install my eSIM before or after arriving in Japan?
It’s recommended to install your eSIM before arriving. Just don’t turn on roaming until you arrive so that it doesn’t activate early. Once the eSIM is activated, it’s valid for the duration that you purchased.

What if I want more data or to extend my trip?
You can simply buy a new pack and it will automatically connect. The great thing about Jetpac is that there is no need to ever change your eSIM. Once you have one, all you have to do is buy another pack for wherever you’re going.

***

Mobile data is a must for traveling Japan. While there is plenty of free Wi-Fi around, you don’t want to have to rely on that considering how often you’ll be using your map and translate app (among many other apps no doubt).

To ensure you’re always connected, get a Jetpac eSIM. They’re reliable, affordable, and have some amazing perks that can help you level yup your travels.

If you want to travel cheaper, better, and longer, one of the best tools in your arsenal is a solid rewards credit card.

Still, despite how often I talk about the topic, many travelers (or would-be travelers) are reluctant to get one. They think it’s a scam, don’t want to pay an annual fee, or just are generally wary of the whole thing.

If you’re in that camp, today I want to discuss a credit card that may be the perfect introduction to the world of points and miles: the Chase Freedom Unlimited®.

This card offers great value, with no annual fee and solid earning potential. It’s excellent as a standalone card with tons of potential for leveling up your game if and when you’re ready. It’s a favorite for newbies and seasoned travelers alike.

So, in this post, I’m going to break down why the Chase Freedom Unlimited deserves a spot in your wallet and how you can use it to turn everyday purchases into free travel.

What is the Chase Freedom Unlimited?

The Chase Freedom Unlimited (sometimes referred to as CFU) is a credit card issued by Chase. What I love about it is that it has a $0 annual fee and offers 1.5% cash back on all purchases. It’s great for points and miles beginners who don’t want to worry about earning at different rates across various categories.

Plus, if you do want to level up your game, you can combine it with a Chase Sapphire card to supercharge your rewards earning capabilities (more on that below).

This card earns you the following:

• 5% cash back on travel purchased through Chase Travel^SM
• 5% cash back on Lyft rides (through March 2025)
• 3% cash back on drugstore purchases and dining at restaurants, including takeout and eligible delivery services
• 1.5% cash back on all other purchases
• Current welcome offer: an extra 1.5% cash back on everything you buy on up to $20,000 spent in the first year

You can redeem this cash back against your next statement or choose to get it directly deposited into your bank account.

But you can get even more out of this card when you combine it with one of Chase’s Sapphire cards (more on this soon).

Perks and Benefits of the Chase Freedom Unlimited

In addition to these excellent earning rates, you’ll get access to a number of perks and benefits. Again, since it has a $0 annual fee, these are all just bonuses.

• Access to Chase Offers, an ever-changing selection of deals for various merchants , including online shopping, gas stations, delivery services, clothing brands, and hotels, among many other sectors (you could really see anything here)
• Complimentary three months of DashPass when you activate by January 31, 2025 (through which members get up to $10 off quarterly on non-restaurant DoorDash orders)
• Secondary Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver
• Trip cancellation/interruption insurance (up to $1,500 per person and $6,000 per trip for your prepaid, nonrefundable passenger fares, if your trip is canceled or cut short by sickness, severe weather, or other covered situations)
• Purchase protection (covers your new purchases for 120 days against damage or theft up to $500 per claim and $50,000 per account)
• Extended warranty protection

 

Combining with a Chase Sapphire Card

While this card is a great cash-back card in its own right, it’s best when paired with a more premium Chase card that earns transferable points. The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (CSP) or the Chase Sapphire Reserve® are the two most popular, though you could also do this with my favorite business card, the Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card. (Note that these cards do have fees.)

That’s because, when you also hold one of these cards, you can convert the cash back earned on the CFU to valuable Chase Ultimate Rewards points. (The Freedom Unlimited on its own only earns cash back.) That means you can pool points earned on either card together and have access to Chase’s great airline and hotel transfer partners.

While getting cash back is easier (and certainly enticing), I consider points to be much more valuable. That’s because you can typically get at least 2 cents per point when transferring to travel partners (sometimes much more).

So why not just have one of the Chase Sapphire Cards and no Freedom Unlimited?

While this is an excellent option (and what many people do), having two cards within the same “family” ensures that you maximize earning categories while earning the same type of points. (You don’t want to spread yourself too thin across too many different cards earning different types of points that you can’t combine.)

By holding both a Chase Sapphire card and the Chase Freedom Unlimited, you can be sure that you’re earning at least 1.5x points on all purchases, a rarity in a travel card (both Sapphires only earn 1x points on all purchases).

If you hold the Chase Sapphire Preferred and the Chase Freedom Unlimited, for example, you’d earn:

• 1.5x on all purchases (CFU)
• 2x on all travel (CSP)
• 3x on drugstores (CFU)
• 3x on dining, including takeout and eligible delivery services (both cards)
• 5x on Lyft (until March 2025, both cards)
• 5x on travel purchased through Chase Travel (both cards)

Lastly, since the CFU does have a foreign transaction fee, you won’t want to use this card when traveling. Think of the CSP as your travel card and the CFU as your everyday card with a higher earning rate on all purchases. Using the two together is an excellent combination.

Pros of the CFU

• No annual fee
• Solid rewards structure, with at least 1.5% back on everything
• Easy to redeem cash back as statement credit or direct deposit
• Great value when paired with a Chase Sapphire card

Cons of the CFU

• 3% foreign transaction fee
• Not a ton of travel benefits

Who is this card for?

The Chase Freedom Unlimited is ideal for those who want an easy-to-use card that gets a better-than-average earning rate on all purchases. It also leaves room to grow into the points-and-miles world when combined with a higher-level card from Chase. And, if you already have a Sapphire card, adding the CFU to your wallet allows you to continue to level up your game, maximizing your rewards on all purchases.

As with any credit card, you should not get it if you’re already carrying a balance or plan to carry one. Interest rates for travel credit cards are notoriously high, and this one is no different. The points just aren’t worth it if you’re paying interest each month.

This card is also not for anyone with poor credit, as you need good or excellent credit to qualify. (If that’s you, check out the best credit cards for bad credit so you can start improving your score today.)

Lastly, this card does count toward Chase’s 5/24 rule (you can’t open more than five cards within 24 months). If you’ve already opened five credit cards (any cards, not just Chase cards) within the past two years (or want to open more soon), you either won’t be able to get this card or might want to skip it for now.

***

Whether you’re just dipping your toes into the points-and-miles game or looking to complement your current lineup, the Chase Freedom Unlimited is a fantastic card. With no annual fee and impressive earning rates, it’s the perfect gateway to the world of points and miles if you’re just starting out.

And, if and when you want to take things up a notch, you can pair it with a premium Chase card down the road to really maximize your points. It’s a no-brainer choice that can kickstart your journey to mastering points and miles.

 

If you’re like me, you’re always on the lookout for ways to make your adventures more affordable and enjoyable. That’s why I collect points and miles. They help me travel longer, better, and cheaper.

Today I want to talk about a card that’s been growing in popularity over the past few years: the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card. It’s designed for travelers who want to easily rack up miles without having to keep track of bonus categories.

And, in the past couple of years, they have really improved the card. It’s one of the main cards I use now because I love their travel portal, their transfer partners, and all the perks that come with the card.

With a hefty sign-up bonus, premium travel benefits, and an impressive rewards structure, the Venture X is worth considering if you’re looking for a new card. Here’s everything you need to know about the card and why I think you should consider getting it:

 

What is the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card?

The Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card is a travel rewards card issued by Capital One. What I love about this card is its miles system. For every dollar you spend, you earn two miles, which (along with the lower-fee Capital One Venture Rewards Card) is unique among travel credit cards. There’s also no additional cost for up to four authorized users, making this a good option for families who need several cards.

In addition to earning at least 2x miles on every purchase, you can earn miles the following ways:

• 75,000 bonus miles when you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first three months after opening the account
• 10x miles on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel
• 5x miles on flights and vacation rentals booked through Capital One Travel

Other Perks and Benefits of the Capital One Venture X

Aside from earning miles, the Venture X packs a punch with its range of perks:

• $300 travel credit when booking through the Capital One portal
• Up to $120 credit for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck
• Complimentary access to 1,300+ airport lounges worldwide, including Capital One Lounge locations and the Partner Lounge Network
• 10,000 bonus miles every year, starting on your first anniversary
• $100 experience credit and other premium benefits with every hotel and vacation rental booked from the Premier Collection
• Access to Capital One Offers (cash back offers from a variety of merchants)
• Access to Capital One Entertainment (where you can redeem miles for concert tickets and other events)
• Travel insurance coverage, including primary car rental insurance, trip interruption and cancellation, and luggage reimbursement
• No foreign transaction fees

With an annual fee of $395, it’s also the cheapest premium travel card out there (plus, if you can use the $300 travel credit, that brings the fee down to a manageable $95).

Using Your Capital One Miles

Capital One miles can be redeemed in a few ways. One is by booking travel directly through Capital One’s portal. While I usually don’t recommend booking through credit card portals, to fully benefit from the Venture X’s travel credit, you’ll need to book at least $300 worth of travel this way.

Another option is to use your miles to get reimbursed for any travel purchase. For 90 days after making such a purchase, you can reimburse yourself at a redemption rate of one cent per mile. After 90 days, and for all other purchases, you can use miles as cash back, at a redemption rate of 0.5 cents per mile (but avoid doing this, as it’s not a good value).

You can also use your Capital One miles in the Capital One Entertainment portal to book tickets for concerts, sports events, and more. Occasionally, Capital One offers cardholder-only events and presale opportunities too. While you’ll get just 0.8 cents per mile for tickets (not the best value), it’s still a fun and unique way to redeem miles.

However, you’ll get the most out of your miles by transferring them to Capital One’s 15+ airline and hotel partners. While the actual value varies based on what you book, you can usually find airline and hotel redemptions worth much more than the aforementioned one cent per mile. (The process is pretty straightforward and can be done through your Capital One account.)

Here are Capital One’s current travel partners:

• Accor Live Limitless
• Aeromexico Club Premier
• Air Canada Aeroplan
• Air France/KLM Flying Blue
• Avianca LifeMiles
• British Airways Executive Club
• Cathay Pacific Asia Miles
• Choice Privileges
• Emirates Skywards
• Etihad Airways Guest
• EVA Air Infinity MileageLands
• Finnair Plus
• Qantas Frequent Flyer
• Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer
• TAP Portugal Miles&Go
• Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles
• Virgin Red

Using transfer partners is a game-changer if you’re looking to maximize the value of your miles. That’s why, unless I find a super cheap flight or hotel room (less than $150 USD), I always transfer miles to Capital One’s travel partners. That’s especially true when booking business class flights or fancy hotel rooms. You just get more value for your money.

Plus, with tools like point.me and Awayz (search engines that help you find the best flights and hotels to book with miles), it’s easier than ever to find the best redemption options.

Pros of the Capital One Venture X

• Travel accident and car rental insurance
• Up to a $120 credit for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck

Cons of the Capital One Venture X

• Steep $395 annual fee
• Must use Capital One’s Travel Portal to take advantage of some benefits (e.g., 10x miles per dollar on hotels, vacation rentals, and rental cars)
• Transfer partners are a bit lacking (no US airlines and not the best hotels)

Who is this card for?

The Capital One Venture X is best for frequent travelers who want a straightforward card with a higher earning rate on all purchases. If you frequently fly and stay in hotels, and are willing to pay an annual fee for premium benefits, this card is tailored for you.

Who is this card not for?

On the flip side, if you’re not a frequent traveler or don’t spend enough to offset the $395 annual fee, the Venture X might not be the best fit. It’s also not ideal if you’re looking for a card with a high rewards rate in specific categories like dining or groceries.

If you travel occasionally or prefer a lower annual fee, you might want to pick another card that better aligns with your spending habits and travel frequency. Because there is no right card — only the card that’s right for you!

The Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card is a powerhouse for those who travel often and want to enjoy top-tier perks. Weigh the pros and cons to see if it’s the right fit for your travel lifestyle but I bet it is! Like I said in the intro, it’s one of my favorite cards and I definitely recommend getting it.
