We need Pop-up Prison Merch!!! LOL
Congrats on 10K subs!
I agree with Nick Max has a great channel on RUclips and Instagram. Really simplifies things for the dummies.
That's a very innocent looking way of describing the back button trick 😂
Agree with Greg...Pop-up Prison is vastly superior to Pop-up Jail!
Great video as always!
Been waiting for this
How you can limit liability with spending with chase just ask chase to transfer your credit limit under the bonus amount.
You did not comment if Hilton honors or IHG changed on their CPP, you did Hyatt and marriot . Thanks for. Loved the episode
The minimum spend is less with the two card Southwest strategy than this one card.
Max is the only good RUclipsr - all the other slightly bigger ones come off like they’re bragging
Can you freeze you credit reports, apply in September, get denied. Then recon in October?
I wanna know how you got bilt platinum status seems like a LOT of work and money
No work at all really -- Greg has mostly done Kiva loans. He explains in his post about taking advantage of the Alaska transfer: frequentmiler.com/swapping-my-bilt-points-for-alaska-miles/
Yes, it does require a fair amount of spend -- though it breaks down to $4,167 per month in spend. If you have expenses for things like insurance, taxes, tuition, etc, that can be paid on the 1st of the month, it is certainly doable for some folks.

Greg- have you eaten at oak and reel in Detroit?
I've been in AMEX pop-up prison for over 10 years and can't get any of their cards. PUP merch!!
Crazy that I've been in pop up prison for 4 years but now have 6 business cards that are sole proprietorship lol. I guess since I put more spend on the 2x business blue, their algorithm likes the business better.
