@@travelpointsfamilyone of the things I like about your approach is the family side of it. Not that the info that these young singles putting out isn’t great, but the game is a little different when trying to travel as a family. I like how you touched on the SW Companion Pass in your Utah trip video. I have that too. Booked our first no cash out of pocket (except fees) on SW for our family or 4 to Seattle the end of September and we scored a sweet deal for spring break to Maui on SW all on SW points. One thing I do to rack up a few extra SW points is rent hotels through SW. I compare the prices to other websites and try to only get the ones with big bonuses that they have not substantially increased the cost for. 5,000 points here, 10,000 there you can get some serious bonus points. Plus you can use whatever favorite travel card you want and get 2x, 3x, whatever on the actual “cost” of the hotel too. Do you do anything similar to this, I haven’t really heard anyone else talk about these extra niche ways of earning points. I’m sure there are others that are probably company and/or card specific.
By spending $15,000 on the Surpass card, you'll receive a free night certificate worth $500 and accumulate between 60,000 to 90,000 Hilton Honors points, valued at $300 to $540. This translates to a return ranging from $800 to $1040, or about 5.33% to 6.93%, which is a reasonable return for frequent Hilton guests. This does not include the $200 resort credits - the $150 annual fee. Nor does it factor the 12x on Hilton spend and gold status.
Great story! Waldorf Astoria is no joke!

First of all, thanks for watching! The Surpass provides a ton of value and is a really good, simple option.
