      Hi, the $2400, I believe is his most expensive course, you can still get lots of free content from Owen and myself. And there are much cheaper paid options that Owen provides.

      What about airlines cards? I mean it in the sense of having the free checked bags. Usually a round trip for two pays for the card itself, if you travel more than once with the same airlines that it’s more than the AF

    Thanks for the tips! I have a question, do airlines ever open more award travel seats? Like if there is no availability 3 months before the flight, would it be possible for there to be availability 2 months before the flight?

      More like within 2 weeks of the travel day. They might open more award seats, if they can't fill the seat with a cash payer

    I have a 150k sub from Amex platinum. As I understand if I get this I wouldn’t be eligible to get a sub from Amex gold. Is the 150k sub too good to pass up?

    • @mannyc3911
      @mannyc3911 5 месяцев назад

      they give those out here and there. I'd probably get the gold 1st, since you probably have to get that anyway because it earns a lot of points.

    You also need to think about fuel surcharges. Sure you might be able to get to London for 40k points, but it's $1,000 of taxes and fees. I'd rather spend the 50k points and only have $100 in taxes and fees.

    This is all great for solo traveling, but to find 2 award sits on the same plane is not 2 times, but probably 200 times more difficult. Can you, please, show me how to find multiple tickets, not just one, this will be a really great thing to do and a greatly appreciated thing to do, I am 100% positive that the majority of others have the same problem.

    #4 he is incorrect. You DO NEED to have a business, but it could be a sole proprietor, the business doesnt have to be registered. But you do have to have a side hustle or something. Otherwise, you are just lying to the banks
