@@MarkReese Wow thank you so much for this.

With the increased spike in delays and cancellations, it’s more risky to book flights via a third party (like portals). If your flight gets cancelled the airline may not be able to rebook you directly. You may be stuck having to call chase/amex/whoever while you’re at the airport to get rebooked. Another reason to use transfer partners instead of booking through the portal.

Where I get stuck is - I want to book an ANA flight for example, I transfer my points to Virgin. Where do I book the flight? On Virgin? I’ve had situations where I know the partner airline flies the itinerary I want but when I search the other airline those flights don’t show up. I would love a walk through of the actual booking process for partner airlines, I haven’t seen any KZreadrs tackle this. Otherwise this was an awesome breakdown, always appreciate your videos - thank you!❤

@MarkReese

Жыл бұрын

This is where the transfer partner game gets complex (and ANA>Virgin is one of the least straight forward redemptions in the entire industry) 😁 To book ANA via Virgin, you want to search for availability via United Airlines or Air Canada. Write down the flight # and class you desire. You'll then need to pick up your phone & call Virgin to have them confirm space on that itinerary. That's when you'll want to transfer points into Virgin's program (should be done instantly) and have the phone agent complete the booking (either on the same call or on a 2nd call). I'll consider a video about this at some point. Meanwhile, the OMAAT blog did a write-up on this last year. Here's a link: onemileatatime.com/guides/redeem-virgin-atlantic-points-ana/

Just get a flat cash back credit card. Some provide as high as offer 2% cash back on EVERYTHING. Unless you're a frequent traveler or restaurant customer, 2% cash back is a better benefit. I use mine at: - the doctors - dentists - for car insurance - cable - cell phone bills - amusement parks - etc. Even if you can transfer points with these other credit cards to fly first class, I'd rather enjoy the flexibility of flying where ever and whenever I'd like and find my own cheap tickets, than have this dictated to me by having to get the maximum value for my points.

@MarkReese

Жыл бұрын

A flat 2% card is a great way to go! 😃👍

Very helpful. I'm still on the fence of whether cashing all the points out and putting it in investments or not would be the better option. I figure I don't travel too much anyway, and if the average return is 10% a year, using simple interest for sake of easy math. Chase points invested for 2.5 years (probably less due to the reality of compounding interest) would put the "value" of the points at 1.25 just like the sapphire preferred, 5 years if you have the reserve. But then anything after five years is bonus. Then there is the reality of if you don't do something with the points soon you are losing out, points redemption and program changes, inflation, years of lost interest. Example, I'll probably break 1 million Chase points soon, and for now we've been banking them for a theoretical travel. The only certainty is while they points sit in that balance pool, they do no good and lose value. It's very tempting to just cash them all out and then if I ever do take a trip then just pay cash for it. The only thing I'm holding back on is if I could do one of those extraordinary trips like the maldives for a few hundred instead of tens of thousands cash. I'm very suspect of the people that post those videos. If it was so easy and commonplace why isn't everyone under the sun doing it...I mean come on, a $20k+ trip for only points and a few hundred bucks? I don't quite buy it. I think something else has to be at play here. /end thought.

@MarkReese

Жыл бұрын

There's no trickery involved. The reason why everyone is NOT doing it is because the vast majority of people: (a) Don't know how to do it and (b) Are not willing to get a bunch of credit cards to get enough points to make it happen. It can also be difficult to plan. The amount of research involved with transfer partners, alliances, routes, award availability, etc. can be a real headache. If you don't travel much, then it probably doesn't make sense to keep collecting travel points. If I were in that situation, I'd personally cash them out & invest. Then, if / when I wanted to get into travel, I could simply get more cards with more bonuses. It's not like if you redeem them all, you can never earn more again. There's no scarcity of points in the U.S. market.

great video. I needed this. I know you're probably swarmed with replies to this video and your poll earlier but can you plan a video about hidden information when applying for cards?? As an example, I watched a video that says there are 3 separate kind of visa cards (visa signature, visa unlimited, I forgot the 3rd). visa unlimited cards supposedly have a minimum credit line of $10K and require a minimum credit score of 720. (Venture X was their example for this card). Another example from a separate video said that the max credit line a certain company (I can't remember which) would only approve someone for 50% of their annual income. I'm sure you probably know of others. this kind of information would, I think, help alot of people out in conjunction with getting them excited about a shiny new card.
