I am stoked about this. I live in Alaska, so 99% of my flights are Alaska Air. The international companion ticket and lounge access is huge. Lounge access is $550 by itself and the SeaTac has some really nice lounges. And you cannot buy a day pass at most of the Alaska air lounges, so a membership is the only reliable way to access them.

How do you feel about the argument that you should use the round trip price divided by 2 rather than the one way price?

Great redemptions and value Matt! It's so cool to see how much we can save using points and miles! Nice that you were able to travel so much this year. Let's see if you can beat that record in 2025!

Great trips, redemptions, and video. Thanks for sharing it all with us.

That Panama trip making me wanna go there 👀 also stoked to see those future trips

Powerful redemptions!! I need to tally mine up for a video like this too one of these days haha. That dang companion pass is always killing it for you haha. Can’t wait to see how you liked the Conrad in DC! And really can’t wait to see that Delta One to Taiwan 🔥 Good stuff Matt, great redemption, powerful strategy etc!

How much travel redemptions did you make in 2024? ⬇

👍🏻

As with any airline, the more u fly the airline the more each card in lineup is useful.🤙

While I haven't flown on Alaska Airlines in some time, I'm very intrigued by this card, especially if the companion certificate ends up being valid for partner bookings. May also just be a sign up bonus play. Great update Matt!

I got on the waitlist last week Friday.

This was necessarily long

I like Alaska & curious to see what type of premium card they'll come out with. Thanks for the info + video!

If i lived on or closer to the West Coast. Thanks Matt!

I was thinking about getting Hawaiian Airlines credit card 70,000 bonus miles. Transfer to Alaska Airlines. Use the miles with American Airlines. I fly out of Gainesville, Florida. Only delta and American Airlines fly out. Great job on UA-cam ♥️

Joined the Alaska Mileage Plan to get on the waitlist. Could be a game changer

Majority of 2024: BILT, Hilton Surpass, USBAR, Venture X (Dining, Grocery, Travel/Mobile, general) Projected 2025: AS Premium, Citi Strata, USBAR, Venture X. BILT will become a 5th wheel for Rent Day, Surpass a pseudo business card.

Hey Matt. Great video. Im thinking about this new card when it comes out. Have to weigh the benefits which might be hard to justify living in the midwest. I just got the Alaska Mileage Plan card in October for the 60K offer.

I’m on the waitlist for this card. Let’s see what it offers. Thanks for the vid, Matt.

The 3x on foreign purchases is novel and definitely quite interesting, but it's not on my radar since AS isn't a major carrier at my local airport and I probably wouldn't frequent AS lounges (maybe if partner airlines are involved it would be more beneficial for me), but there are other cards I'd want to get first before this one

Potential to be the best Airline credit card

I’ll consider it. I’m wanting to acquire more Alaska miles so I’ll take a look when the card is live

Nice breakdown! This one is definitely on my radar

The global companion award certificate might be huge. I travel to Asia a lot so this card might be a must have.

Not sure yet, the multipliers will be the key here, curious on the accelertaed paths as well. The lounge pass does nothing for me as my work pays for my lounge plus every year. I wonder how much overlap we will see from my 100K benefits? I know they really devalued the system next year by eliminating the extra 100K bouns points for reaching 75K and 100K. The only thing that was good that came out of all this was the 10K rollover and being able to earm EQM on award bookings.

👍🏻

What are your thoughts on the initial components of this Premium Alaska Airlines Credit Card?

Definitely getting it!

Great video! For the AMEX platinum card can you also do the same by buying card gifts cards to trigger the annual credit and combine gifts cards for booking hotel?

Congrats on the new card! I looked and today the offer sits at 60K points after $4K spend. Do you still think that’s worth signing up for or worth waiting for a better offer?

Apologies if you’ve answered this in the past. Upon getting new credit cards, do you close the ones you already have with no annual fee? Also, if you have the card such as the Chase Inc. for example and you are eligible for a new welcome bonus, do you close the old one?

OK, this is genius: using business entities to clean up on Chase points for Hyatt. I’m just winding up my SUB spend on my ink card. On New Years Day, I’m converting my sole proprietorship into an S Corp, including changing the name slightly. I’m going to try asking for another card, since I was invited for the other one. One of the things I’ve been buying on my Ink card is 45% off Wyndham Rewards points and buying stays with Vacasa 😂

I like Hyatt, but they don’t seem to be where I want to be. Marriott is.

I don't use CPP to evaluate stays. If I'm going somewhere that has Hyatt properties I'll look at the hotel, it's location, and amenities.

And here I am nearing 1 million UR points the old fashioned way 😂 so always had a question. How do you value a point redemption when you redeem for a standard room then apply a SUA? It's a 25k point reemption per night for a $600 standard room at the hyatt regency Huntington Beach but I get upgraded to the suite at booking and the rate for the suite is $1224 per night. Is there a modifier since im using an upgrade cert?

Great job on UA-cam ♥️

400,000 Hyatt Points ?!? GYADAYUUMM 😮💀🤣

Great video. I love the sneak peaks for the upcoming year for both of you guys. Also, seeing Anthony not in the car talking to you the vibe feels different lol

Cant wait to finish watching this! Will be coming back to add more to this comment! Love the collab, guys!

👍🏻

Thank you sir for having me on!! I know what I’ve done this past year is kind of ridiculous, but it was a lot of fun haha.

Fantastic video!

Thanks so much to Anthony Venture for coming on the channel! Go check out his channel here: Check out Anthony's channel: www.youtube.com/@AnthonyVenture

I love when you have 6 months to hit a bonus. I just applied for a card like that, but I won't put a lot of spend on it initially because I'm working on another bonus at the moment

Did you ever get that welcome offer bonus from the Capital Savor card?

I could see why paying for your rent with a credit card is great to meet a welcome offer, but that 3% fee is just too much for me haha. I space out welcome offers out to meet them thru regular spend.

Great job on UA-cam ♥️

I just got it after the refresh I like it just need to get used to it
