Does your point value include 4th night free? Also I can’t find this answer anywhere, what’s card do you use to purchase IHG points? What’s the best card to use to optimize points? I don’t think it’s classed as travel,correct?
Good to see you @drbriankeating commenting on a channel dedicated to rewards (as opposed to physics or the state of academia). While this is not my channel, I have been leveraging point/miles for nearly 2 decades now. There is considerable variance in different reward programs and in some cases spending your points/miles actually counts towards achieving elite status, e.g., Marriot Bonvoy. Like most things there is not singular “rule” for obtaining and/or maintaining elite status. I’ve always tried to optimize for travel awards status when most appropriate given planned vacations, if you can get the timing right you are able to enjoy the benefit when you actually benefit most from it.
I'm sad Alaska status was barely mentioned :( my favorite because its 100% based on miles flown now with a minimum of 500 miles per leg and flights are pretty cheap!
Totally agree, love alaska status, but the purpose of this episode was on different shortcuts to elite status, and except for status matches, there aren't many shortcuts to Alaska status.
Good morning Thanks for your advice. I would like to ask I have little over 1 million chess point , if I move it to United Airlines, can I have status or/and benefit? and when it will be expired?
Hey Chris, really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?
There aren't many ways to get status from Chase points, but you sure can book a lot of flights in Business/First class, which would get you treated like you had status.

I’m still a bit in the dark of why breakfast is so important.
How often should I 'cash in' my points vs keeping them to maintain elite status? Is there a threshold I should always remain above? Thanks
You don't need to cash in points for status, so not quite that relevant. Usually the status comes from earning them.

No. Transferred points don't count towards status.
