What about between business and personal cards? Does Amex look at those differently? Are you eligible across both?

Thank you for this video! I've been trying to decide between savor one and blue cash preferred because of grocery cash back. But since I already have the venture cc, I went ahead with savor one with no af. I would still reconsider BCP because of gas cash back

I just got an offer for 175k points. I have the blue card ( I had mentioned to AMX I was going to get rid of it). I think the offer is contingent that I keep that? I haven’t read the fine print. My spending seems fairly similar to yours. Travel a few times a year. Can only afford one or two “big” trips and a few long weekend trips a yr. To get value seems like a bit of work. Rakutan, Upside…not sure I want to add more to the equation. Probably “only” charge 2k a month so I like to accumulate points in one system. I get so much value transferring chase points to Hyatt…it’s tough to complicate that. 175k though is a lot of points. I have an AmX corporate card is a discount off of the annual fee something u have to ask for. They don’t give it to me on my Blue card.

Im planning just a 2 card setup. CSP for all dining and Flights (5x) and C1VX for Hotel and Car Rental (10x) and then everything else (2x). I'm new to these points stuff and hope to get approved for the C1VX

What is your advice for someone who doesn't care about international travel, expensive hotels, 1st class or business class flights? If you're only traveling across the United States, looking for economy flights, cheaper hotels & you can only plan trips a few weeks in advance, is transferring points out to travel partners even worth the effort? Or is it better to redeem through a portal?

Amex Gold Card earns flexible points that can be used for travel, used for statement credits, used for gift cards, used for purchases at retail stores. Amex Gold Card can not be replaced by 4% cash back cards. They are not equal.

what website were you using at 5:35 into the video that shows the points needed to book the flight?

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the luxrul leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.

Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations

Hell no!

I'm not seeing any prices like that. For YVR to Singapore, the busines class flights are 275k points minimum. Am I doing something wrong?

I have an premium plus american express i dont own a business what details would need to be put in this i had a gold card i think a couple years ago but cancelled after using it for 1 year what are the chances of getting this

Can you transfer points from the SavorOne to the Venture X Business? Or only to the personal Venture X?

you can transfer your points from United to chase, Amex platinum points are also tight in some aspects and for lot of people not affordable.

You could have also asked C1 for a price match by providing their travel portal customer service a screenshot proof that the night is cheaper elsewhere. They will match the price difference and refund you in travel credit for up tp $50

Capital One duo and even the Citi trifecta is better than these… significantly better redemption categories that don’t change or need to be activated, and good enough travel partners.

Unfortunately I don't travel for work, only leisure and with family, so your case is not mine.

Thank uuuuu For being a human person by speaking about vacay expenditures than only speaking just travel Everyday ppl with average income with this economy thats high is crazy Thx for slowing down on your “teaching” speech. Hate it when ppl just “talk”. I like joe barreto speak/teach on his channel bcuz he teaches in a way that everyday ppl can “listen” easily to him. He also gives real story telling on his experiences. All these others just talk talk talk on a fast tone as if theyre not remembering that theyre teaching n helping others in a way that others can grasp. It takes time to search for these good/great redemptions so ppl should talk slower with giving their advice adding storytelling so the audience understands. Thx for this as it is helpful 👍🏼

Hello Kevin, Could you have considered using chase points for booking Hyatt Regency (or) it needed more points that time instead of C1?

around 6:50 , Tip: if you find a hotel (or flight) on google that is cheaper than you see it on the C1 portal, you can call the c1 travel number to price-match and they will cover the difference with a travel credit. Sometimes they will even honor the price before fees. $20 is $20 afterall. that's a sandwich!

What if my cell phone bill has like three family members on it. Does it cover everyone’s phone or just myself? Thanks

Aeroplan gives a 10% transfer bonus when transferring points from chase which I believe you can stack. which means a BC ticket on SQ booked via AC with a transfer bonus comes out 67300 points which is about 6.5 cpp or almost a 20% return on spend assuming points earned are 3x.

correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't hitting the card limit hurt your score and utilization?

Thanks for the video. Regarding Lounge access, I have both Chase Sapphire Reserve and Capital One Venture X, but some lounges in Asia only allowed me to use one not both for more guests.

The Venture X and Savor One duo have given me the most benefits. Considering one of the AMEX Hilton cards next.

Fav churning channel. ty!

This week: the Capital 1 lounges in DEN and DFW convinced me of the worth of the VX. The Centurion Iounge in IAH confirmed the need for the Plat. The Ritz-Carlton Priority Pass has gotten me into lounges in 16 countries and 3 Sapphire Lounges this year. I like all three cards because I travel a bit.

Personally I use the Capital One saver and Capital One venture X combo. With those two cards I'm able to make roughly 100,000 points per year. And I fly economy so I get my most bang for buck and do not mind paying for hotels because especially in Japan and Eastern Europe hotels are pretty cheap. I'm not interested in staying in the fanciest place. When it comes to trips I prefer the quantity of trips I can take versus the high quality of the trip

Capital one has price match guarantee. After booking with capone, just call them and they will give you credit difference

My CSR is new to my wallet, but has been on one trip. It has taken the place of the AMX Platinum for spend on vacation, but the Platinum still stays in the wallet for Lounge Access. We are doing some serious Gardening for the next year, to hopefully apply and get the USBAR.

Thanks Kevin!

Question for you: Which cards have given you the MOST benefits when traveling? And which cards are you eyeing next? 👇

I've heard that some Venture X holders are being denied at some lounges, has anyone experienced or heard the same?

Hi Kevin, I am newbie for redeem points. If we stopover in Taipei less than 24 hours, do we have to check out luggage out as well ? Or just automatically transfer to the next flight. Thank you so much.

cowtool shut down reward searcher. What are some other alternatives?

I have the Venture X and Savor One duo, and I love this setup. Its nice to be able to combine my points.

I still think everyone is sleeping on the Capital One ecosystem. That saver card and venture X Duo gets you a boatload of points.

Absolutely loved the video but that noise when you would do the X through things was jarring

FOR UNLIMITED card, I got first year everything double(uncapped) and Flex, first year 10x grocery. Both of them are amazing! For the third one, I got CSR, instacart membership gave me peacock membership, super useful during Paris Olympics. Also, every month, got $25 from doordash.( the dashmart is only 3 mins drive from the company I work) Very easy justify the $250 effective annal fee.Not need to mention, every year $200 free money each card from chase offer. (Half of them from southwest, thx to them)

So once I get let’s say 75000 welcome miles, can I book travel on 3rd party websites and then use miles to cover those purchases? (The 1st method you showed in the video)?

I love the video but I was really hoping you'd say which airline program (capital one, Chase, Amex) is best for planning trips to Japan

Hey boss whats the name of the video for best using transfer partners for chase and Amex? The link didn’t pop up in the video for some reason. Thanks!

what i have seen, the points for chase and amex... for travel suck, I can fly to asia for $1000 but if I try to use the points on an airline its about $1800+ in points... I usually drop them into cash and just use the cash to buy the plain tickets.. I've had to do this the last 4 times I went to asia in the past 2 years.

If you don’t live by a major airport, forget finding these “great international” deals. Also need to be extremely flexible.

Hello! I got the Amex gold for the x4 food and dining categories as we spend significant amounts of money each month,and i found value in all the credits, but i am having a hard time redeeming the points. We travel about 4 times per year, and it s more expensive on the Amex portal. What do you suggest? I am thinking of closing the card as I found more value with my venture x card to redeem hotels,car rentals or flights, but i am only getting x2 on dining and grocery😢 thank you!

Another thing to consider if you don't travel is points to gift cards. Its expired now but I've heard it usually comes back around every few months, but I managed to get 1.20 CCP for Amex pts. to Apple Giftcards. Also the fees for me flying from LAX to TOK was $650 for ANA Business, so YMMV.

quick question, I have the Amex business platinum card now. And I wanted to get the Amex trifector. Of personal platinum, gold, and blue business, in which order should i get them?

I wish Home Depot would use someone beside Citibank for their shopping card but until they do I guess I will continue to shop at Lowe's and the local mom & pop building supplies.

Please remove the background music. It is so annoying that I have to stop watching this video.
