I love that your content seems to be for everyone. Too often creators seem to cater to people new in the game, which really doesn’t interest me. Your content is different, not from all other creators but enough of them, and I appreciate it.
Agree with everything, but as a point of emphasis about diversification -- it can be trickier with family travel. I might need 400,000 points in one ecosystem to get 4 one-way business class tickets to Europe (which is 8 round-trip). Since a lot of the xfer partners overlap, it's USUALLY not an issue, but good to remember. Keep up the great work!
I mostly agree with you... my qualm with Amex is the annual fees. They can really rack up. C1 is harder to earn SUB's but though they don't have unique transfer partners they do have some valuable ones and that makes them great for topping off when you need a little more Flying Blue miles or Aeroplan miles etc.
JP, great review of the four programs. Do you transfer points out to travel partner programs to take advantage of transfer bonuses without having a trip in mind? Some of them like Avianca have expiration dates and then there are the devaluations. Thanks!
I think that was a great assessment of the differences between those 4 players. I like chase & amex for the majority of my points. As for the other 2 i only have the savor 1 & double cash so can’t cant really transfer out points from them yet. Any thoughts on Wells or Built ?
Tap Portugal is an option, but I've yet to see where they are the best option to book. Just being unique doesnt really make you "unique" . Aeromexico is an option for American express but rarely one you would find to be the best option. But perhaps I am wrong and TAP Portugal is a better program than I realize.

I'm glad to hear you like my content. I try to do a mixture of beginners and advanced to cater to many different people.
💯💯💯Thanks for the info + video!
Thanks you!!
You are 100% correct with having a diversified portfolio with points! This is a very informative video! Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
Thanks for watching!
A bug takeaway is that there is no perfect system. If you want to optimize your game, you HAVE to dip your toes within many of these banks.
Exactly. The more you collect points from different banks, the more opportunities you have for the best deals
Super solid summary! I’m definitely gonna be using my new Amex biz plat to unload some MR points while I have it!
Nice!

I get what you're saying. I appreciate you watching.
I reserve my UR points for hyatt. Working on growing into American Airlines for flights.
Makes sense. I think that is what a lot of people in the game do.
Do you plan to spend on AA cards? Or just churn SUBs?
@@briandegnan4970 I am slowly acquiring AA cards while staying under 5/24.

That is a fair point. I didn't really take into consideration the annual fees, which is a factor.
Oh?? But How many pts/miles u racking up on those $0 af cards a year and the 2nd and third? lol
I agree man! Diversification is great and allows for more flexibility 👍🏼
Exactly!

I do with programs that I use frequently and trust.

Bilt is great for anyone who rents, and their points are super valuable. I have a link in the description box if you're interested in the card 👍🏾🙏🏾
You said Turkish is the only unique transfer partner with capital one.
What about Tap air Portugal ? 🇵🇹
WF is piss poor version of cap1. Ammiright?
