Thank you! Hope it was helpful!
I see delta flight lax-jfk but i cant find it on virgin or af
Great video as always. I used your referral link and got approved for my first Ink Cash card yesterday! Thanks Michael!
That means a lot, thank you so much! Congrats on the Ink Cash!! Got any ideas on how you want to use the points?
Anytime. I learned a lot from your videos🙏. Qsuits and Turkish business class are in my bucket list.
What is your recommendation to keep updated on the transfer bonus?
Subscribe to my newsletter! Every Friday I share the transfer bonuses going on + a weekly tip, points & miles news, and other promos. But currently there’s no transfer bonuses FYI. nursemichaeltravels.com/newsletter/
this is great thank you
You're very welcome!
Or I can just use my earn 2x points on AMEX BB, 3x Green, 4x Gold and sometimes 5x Plat. Then book with 35% discount using Platinum without any blackouts for domestic flights.
True! The 35% rebate is awesome. But the business platinum has some limitations with the 35% rebate, its most flexible when booking business class flights on any airline, but with business class, partners might have better pricing sometimes. You can get a rebate from economy flights but it has to be booked with your “preferred” selected airline for the year so that can be restricting for some. Here’s an in depth article for folks who want to learn more: upgradedpoints.com/credit-cards/reviews/amex-business-platinum/pay-with-points-rebate/
@ Great reference article. Only thing I would add it that even with a better bonus on the Chase SR I save those points for Hyatt stays because I use those points almost exclusively for Hyatt hotel stays and get 2.1x value when I do and don’t earn points at Chase as fast as i do as AMEX but for those that do earn more Chase than Amex points and have the CSR it would be the better option.
💯 agreed!
35% rebate is only on the Biz Plat correct?
Correct!
Great video, One think that throws me off is the fee added onto the price, you won't know until you are about to book on the program. I prefer to pay more points and have lower fees. Aeroplan has high fees and taxes like Avios as well. Cheers
I hate those too, especially folks with higher fees like Avios, I’m a big fan of the max price filter on PointsYeah to filter some of them out but that doesn’t really help with Avios partners though
Super agreed about the ending message “Put in the reps, it gets easier over time.” When I first started I was overwhelmed, now I’m fairly comfortable and do these searches second nature.
Love the growth! When did you first start getting into points and miles?
@@NurseMichaelTravels I think maybe 8 months ago now? So super new to it. I was always a credit card user but just used a 2% CB card. After discovering the world of points and miles, it's been pretty life changing for our travel plans. Thanks!
You got any advice going to LHR from LAX in peak season with a family of 4 ? Using BA?
You ONLY have BA Avios? And economy or business class?
@@NurseMichaelTravels economy or premium economy 2 adults 2 children. I have capital 1 and Chase I can transfer no issue. I think I need to use Avios as I have a discount voucher that I need to use on BA. I would love to have your advice.
I have been kind of stuck on either Chase or venture x. Thank you for this video it definitely helps me feel better about working bc around the partners.
If you’ll email me the details, I’ll try to get back to you by the end of the weekend. You find my email address on my website or just reply to any of my emails from my newsletter.
You’re welcome! I have both and I love to use Capital One and AMEX points and try to keep my Chase points mostly for hotels with Hyatt or their travel portal personally
Great Chick fila reference. Now I'm hungry 😂

PointsYeah! here’s my affiliate link: www.pointsyeah.com/?linkId=lp_919533&sourceId=nm-travels&tenantId=pointsyeah I only get a small commission if you signup for premium, and you don’t really need premium unless you find yourself using it ALL the time and need to search for more dates at a time.

@@NurseMichaelTravels Thanks!! Keep up the good work!
Anytime! Let me know if any other questions come up
🎉I use AC Aeroplan to book United flights, But, there is an additional C$39 partner booking fee (@$27US), so 12.5K AC miles vs 15K UA miles is a wash.
Very true, I never really have United miles so I don’t often have to choose but if I had to I’d choose based on which miles I had more of or how likely I am to cancel the flight

Southwest is wrong here, their no show policy doesn't apply when they are the ones delaying the flight. When an airline delays or cancels a flight the ball is always in the traveller's court irrespective of what fare they bought. So if anything it wasn't a goodwill gesture, it's something they're required to do by law and their tariffs.
That’s good to know! Thank you!
For venture X I want to add my parents as authorized users but they are not US citizens. Will I be able to add them and put in the same address and contact number if Capital one allows?
I don’t think this would be an issue! Capital one is pretty lenient
how to link Marriott stays to earn AA miles? Can you please go into details as far as how to do it? Thanks
For sure! Login to your Marriott account -> Go to your Profile -> Click "edit" next to "earning and rewards" -> switch to "miles" and select your partner and enter your loyalty number. Just know that you're earning AA miles INSTEAD of Marriott points, you won't earn both. You earn a lot more Marriott points than you would AA miles, and you won't be eligible for any extra bonus earning promotions.

do roundtrip JFK/EWR to VIE july 19th - Aug 2nd please
I'd say do Flying Blue on the way there, you could do Virgin Atlantic from London or Manchester. 12k ea economy on 8/2 from London, 35k ea business on 8/4 from Manchest, high-ish fees though.
Just FYI, the 50k example is now 60k pts due to a recent devaluation from the airline part :\, but 60k is still great! Get my Redemption Analyzer: nmtravels.kit.com/products/analyzer Master Points & Miles with my weekly newsletter: nursemichaeltravels.com/newsletter/

Hello Michael, referring back to minute 06:15 about not always seeing the saver awards for flights in partner websites, does that mean they simply do not have the United flight available to book through there website or they intentionally make it hard to find it and instead you have to call the partner airline to book it? I hope this question makes sense. Lol
Hey Miguel, great question! MOST of the time it’s simply that they don’t have it available to them. There are rare-ish times where the website is simply glitching, and it may be worth searching for it again on a different browser to see if it works. But if something is down for an extended period of time, in many cases, it’s also usually down for the phone reps so they can’t access it either. For example Turkish Airlines for a solid month of so wouldn’t let you search or book United flights to or from HNL, but now they’re back when I checked recently. There wasn’t a way around it until it came back online.
currently in pop up jail for the personal platinum 150 MR SUB offer, so frustrating 😭
ugh, that's the worst, when you're finally ready for the big sign-up bonus and card but they keep it from you!
United award flights meaning saver award flights?
When I say United Award Flights I use that as a general term for an award flight where I'm flying United no matter how I booked it with points. To fly United on partners that's not United itself, you'll generally need to find the Saver award flights which those are found directly on United's website. If you're booking your flights with United points, it doesn't matter if it's a saver award flight or not.
@@NurseMichaelTravels thanks for the clarification
@ anytime!
So Chase won’t work?
Of these options, you can use Chase points to book United flights by transferring your points to Air Canada (once you find availability) or you can book flights you find on United by transferring them to United Airlines directly. Then of course with Chase points you've got the travel portal which gives you a 1.25 cents value which may or may not be cheaper than both of these options.
@ so I should see how much it costs to book United flight using my chase points on chase portal to book flight and then compare to transferring them to United partner or on United website itself. Just compare first
@ exactly!
how would you research roundtrip from JFK/EWR to VIE on july 19th - Aug 2nd?
I tried Avianca today (Jan 11th) but it didnt show anything for those dates
Hey I just replied to your email!
@@NurseMichaelTravels thank you
its absolutely impossible to get access to my PIN code for Iberia , how did you manage?
The PIN code should be the password you use to sign in to your Iberia account, are you unable to login at all?
One thing I do with business card sign up bonus spending is to buy gift card. For example, I routinely spend anywhere from 5-10K on Costco (between grocery, gas, and house supplies) so if I know I'm short $2-3K I'll just go buy $2-3K worth of Costco gift cards. It's risky only if the gift card is come a smaller business (Costco has virtually no chance of bankrupting in next 12 months), or if you are bad at securing things. Lock those cards up because if you lose them it's like losing cash. You could also just buy from 4-5 different stores if you want to lower the risk. Just try to buy cards based on real world usage for your personal situation
Agreed on getting business cards. I was once fearful, scared, intimidated, and shook at the thought of applying for a business card. Now I have 4 lol. The SUBs are insane.
lol it is a funny mental block that’s there when you first apply for one, but it goes away real quick after the first bonus
Always enjoy your videos! I thought I heard Capital One business cards utilization rates can affect your personal credit. Has anyone heard the same?
cap1 business cards report to your personal report so yes. nobody else does. cap1 also pulls all 3 credit reports so you'll get a ding on each one. not worth it imo.
Like Ferguson said, they definitely pull from all 3 credit credit reports. I’ve heard many of their business cards do, but I’ve heard conflicting information about potentially one or two cards that don’t reflect on your personal credit including the business Venture X. I would probably going in expecting the worst, hoping for the best onemileatatime.com/guides/venture-x-business-application/#does_the_venture_x_business_report_to_your_personal_credit www.nerdwallet.com/article/credit-cards/do-business-credit-cards-affect-personal-credit-score#:~:text=Capital%20One%20reports%20all%20business,pay%20your%20business%20credit%20card?
For this reason, is why C1 business cards aren't popular among Churners. Chase and Amex is the way to go.
