Yes! Thank you!

I am really looking forward to your Japan videos. We’ll be there for 3 weeks in the Fall. We have an idea of what we’ll be doing but welcome any new ideas. I’ll save my questions once you guys are actually there. Enjoy all your trips!

Thanks, we will be posting most of them on our Travel Asia with Allie channel.

Outstanding!!!

Glad to hear your comment on the question about banking points. Most of the travel writers always say don’t accumulate points for distant future use and only buy points with an immediate plan to use them (devaluation concerns) which went against my thoughts. I’ve been banking UR, MR, IHG, etc. points for the past 2+ years with plans to begin using them at retirement (reached last month) and begin full time world slow-travel… I think it’s going to make things much easier. Yes, Papago is good. Used it in Korea while there for 3 months of work a few years ago.

Yes, most people advise to use them up on high point redemptions, but it doesn't make sense if you travel more than a few weeks a year.

I might be in your family because I don’t see the resemblance between Ally and Alexa, either! You’re both beautiful, though. Enjoying your channel! #GoBlue

I wish I had banked more points the last years of working. Live and Learn.

Which resort in Siam Reap were you looking for videos on again? Love the video by the way!

Thank you the informative video! You mentioned a Hyatt hotel in Europe for 3500 points, which one is that? My experience with Hyatt vs other hotels isn’t that they only have a limited number of rooms that can be booked with points. Best to book asap if it’s a hotspot.

Yes I think she is a mini me of Ally.

Hi...love your videos. Do you have to pay extra for lounge access at IHG, or is there a way to get it through stays or credit cards?

@GroundedLifeFinances

You get for free after staying 40 nights in a year

She definitely looks like her mother!!!🤓

Alexa looks a lot like Allie, but she also looks a lot like Rob. Please bring your son on the show so that we can see him also.

So if I’m wanting a ihg card do I also want the Chase sapphire card as well ? Or would that be like having two of the same cards ?

Great vlog. I am an aspiring world traveler and want to ask your opinion. I am reading an article in my hometown newspaper as I watch/ listen to your vlog. The newspaper article is titled Travel Savings: The Secret perks of investing in travel, from hotel upgrades to cruise credits by Ramsey Queblin, Bloomberg. One suggestion is buying 1 share of Accor, SA the largest hotel company in Europe according to the article. One share costs approximately $35 USD. The one share gives you Gold status at Fairmont, Sofitel, and Raffles along with 50 other brands. Normally Gold status requires 30 nights at their hotels. Do you think it is worth it? Seems like great value for $35 USD, the price of one share at the time of the article.

Yes, sounds great, we don't usually stay at those brands, but if you do it sounds nice.

Looking online, it sounds like ownership of 50 shares is needed. And the Gold Shareholder membership is valid until the end of the year in which application is made (unless minimum number of nights for renewal are met).

We have had so many terrible experiences with Hilton that we will never use them again. We would rather pay more for a marriot if needed, than deal with Hilton

What is the best way to bank points? I have had Marriott points to expire

she looks more like her dad!

We'll be in Tokyo during March 15-20 and saw your ICI Ueno Shin Okachimachi recommendation. You mentioned booking it for about $60/night, but the rates appear to be double that in March. I realize rates change based on date of stay, but I think our dates are not too far off from your booking. Did you book the tiny 14m sq room? What platform did you book on?

@GroundedLifeFinances

I think your dates are just higher. Search May 6-9 and you'll see $60.

You mentioned how you almost always want to transfer points to Hyatt ?? Why is this ?

Hyatt points are the most valuable dur to low redemptions

Your daughter has your whole face. She looks like she could be your twin. So strange that you don't see that.
