I transfer Chase points to Marriott at the 40% more promotion. I used those points for Marriott moments. I got two suite tickets to a Clipper game. Average price for same seats was $500. The suite was also all you can eat and drink, alcohol included.
@@geobreezetravel no sure. But right now if you buy 40k points, that’s $500. Two face value tickets were $1,000. Of course I don’t recommend buying points. But in this case, it’s a 50% discount
Hi! I’m new to points and miles. I love this tutorial format! Could you do a tutorial on the different ways to book flights with airline transfer partners within an alliance? I’m finding it very confusing! Thanks for your great videos.
glad you like it! we have a lot of tutorials on that topic in this playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLO1ijkHfoj56bV5KQSki8A_t7eSRQ-CpM is there a particular alliance you fly with most? I can point you to a specific video for that one
Hilton cards are good for easy status for people who don't travel as much. You can get Diamond status just by having the Hilton Aspire card. I actually prefer Marriott and Hyatt because they're more challenging to get and so not as many people have top status with those brands. Which usually means better upgrades and nicer perks if the status is harder to obtain.
This is a great tutorial. I love the specific topic and examples. Great video
yay! thank you! glad you are enjoying the content and finding it useful!

How many points did you transfer lol
nice! do you know what the redemption rate (cash price of $500 vs. points price) was?
@@samvilms 25k by and got 12.5k extra. The suite was 40k for two tixs

@@SC_XOLOs sounds like you got a good deal then if you only spent $500 for $1000 of retail value!

Thank you!
Oy. Still learning how to play this game. Difficulty finding at least 2cpp. Sigh.
it takes some practice, but you'll get there! rooms.aero is a great tool for finding hotels/ dates for Hyatt that have more than 2 cpp
Why you choose Marriott not Hilton credit cards and hotel?
Hilton cards are good for easy status for people who don't travel as much. You can get Diamond status just by having the Hilton Aspire card.

So no reason to visit Indy, huh?!!
What if everyone wants to come visit me??! 😜
one of these days we should do an Indy meetup. It's centrally-located!
