Sometimes I wanna say screw it and make UA-cam videos about this bc of how much travel hacking has taken over my life, and this is exactly the type of videos I would wanna make because we need more like it. Hope you blow up!
This was awesome!! Just on a random thought, and being delayed on certain international travel, Hawaii just might be in the cards soon and this guide was very very helpful!! Thank you Shaun!
i stumbled upon this as i'm trying to plan a trip to hawaii using points and this was the most informative video out there about credit card points, please do more of these guides!!
Awesome video, a lot of people don't talk about certain redemptions because they don't have well enough knowledge on the topic of award travel like you did with Turkish Airlines.
Good to know on the East side of the U.S.A. has the same flight points. That is key when looking for flat rate redemption's. Learned some new things about Hawaii. Thanks!
Amazing video. Very insightful and you did a great job of both educating about the different islands in Hawaii as well as specific examples for high-value redemption options.
I’ve heard Turkish isn’t the super viable option anymore due to availability and their increase in redemption cost I believe 10,000 points right? Would you recommend that still being the strategy or would you try using different airline partner?
Good point! My only counter is even if SW is $300 RT I would be getting 2CPP using my Turkish mikes and I would get to select a seat versus on southwest I can’t
The main way is since I’ve been in this game for a while I have a lot of the best redemptions memorized lol. Also if you google things like “top 10 points redemptions within the US” you can find lists of good redemptions
Hey Shaun, Should we transfer over the miles to Turkish air before calling customer service? Seems a little dicey. Otherwise, I appreciate the truth bombs you’re dropping here.

I really appreciate it!
I wish there was more of a demand for the high level redemption side of this game since it’s so fun to make these videos.
My wife hates credits cards but when I book free vacations there’s no complaints 😂
Great stuff! Love that you get into the redemptions side of award travel, unlike most other UA-camrs.
2 Mistakes I wanted to note:
1) The Royal Hawaiian was built in 1927 not 1913
2) Hanauma Bay is on the south east of Oahu not the north

Funny that you used a photo of the Northshore of Kauai to represent the big island. Tunnels beach is one of our favorite beaches

Thanks for all that good information!

Could you provide insights on how to book 5x flight tickets through Turkish air using the points/tips you provided? Is it possible? Thank you!
Great video buddy. ✈
Thank you so much!
I would argue Southwest is a better buy for direct flights from SNA to OGG... Worth the $300 round trip per person
Good point!
My only counter is even if SW is $300 RT I would be getting 2CPP using my Turkish mikes and I would get to select a seat versus on southwest I can’t
Subbed, great video!
Awesome video 📹
Thank you 🙏
Good video!
Thank you!
the "Saver Award" situation also happens on First Class flights?
How do you find good redemption methods like booking United with Turkish miles?

Hey Shaun,

Very good question! I would recommend calling Turkish first and make sure they are able to book the space before you transfer
