can you do a video etoro vs trading 212 please 👍
Sounds like an awesome trip! Our of curiosity…since you're filming for future videos on this video, can you write off any of the out-of-pocket costs?
Hey folks, we have a $100 airline credit from our amex gold we need to use by the end of the year. We aren't tied to a single airline as we haven't chosen one yet. Any ideas on how we can use this??? 🙂
3:15 ahaha
Kyoto has to be the beautiful Asian city, if not in the top 5. Recently there was a photography ban put in place, mostly due to tourists from a certain country.
DoubleTree, Courtyard… that level of hotel in Asia are actually 4 stars and I'd say nicer than most vanilla Hilton, Marriott branded hotels in the US.
Enjoy the food!
Credit Shifu 2020: cheesy thing music plays “Did I mention I went to Taiwan?”
It is about 2.5 cents per point. I was expecting a slightly higher ratio lol
Looking forward to your travel log
Can you do a review of the British Airways American Express and the premium plus version of it please and love the videos finding them really useful and informative for gaining points👍🥇
The Lucy skit 😂😂😂
Look at the Courtyard Taipei (not the downtown one). It has one of the best breakfast I've ever had at a hotel. Spent 5 nights there in 2018 and got upgraded to the Deluxe Suite
I was just looking at the Crown Plaza Kyoto for our trip next June. It does not have the best reviews. A lot of the rooms are old and dingy while some floors have been remodeled. You might want to check reviews on TripAdvisor and find out which floors have not be remodeled. Then call ahead and tell them you don't want those floors. Otherwise you will be placed there on a points night.
I'm planning a big trip with points too! Anticipating to burn about half a mil of various points combined as well (mainly Avios and Bonvoy)
You sell wallets?
So booking though chase portal you do not get any hotel status right? You do not care about upgrades?
You should stay at the IC by the O2
Yea, back to the peasant queue for you 😆🤪😝 – seriously, looks like an awesome trip
nice trip!!
Wouldn't it be better to book Regent Taipei with IHG points?
Hope I run into Credit Shifu over CNY in Taipei!!!
Thanks for travelling to Taiwan, big shout out from your avid viewer in Taipei!
These are the best videos!!! Love the breakdown!
Just asking do the points come for free??
Isn't we need to spend $$ to earn points??
my god he's on fire today with the comedy! first, peasants 😀 then royals diss at 3:20 :))) LMAO loved it
You should do a video on the Founders card.
Awesome trip congrats enjoy
How many points do you have?
ha great vid. SCREW THOSE PEASANTS
He came for the Queen! Hmmm
Did you play Killgrave on Jessica Jones?
How did you get so many point via ihg? Mastercard trick paying mortgage?
For the flights, sounds awfully high in terms of $ cost. I'm single person flights for around $400. I'm not sure how you cash value it at $3K.
Epic!
Are you not coming back from Taiwan?! Interested to see how you fly back to the States
You should stay at the Grand Hotel Tapai.
I don’t really care for the queen, i think they are a sketchy bunch of people anyway…lol
Amazing video! Have an amazing trip!
Even accounting for the sign-up bonuses, earning half a million points seems like a long shot for the peasants (perhaps referrals might help). Also, sign-up bonuses are one-time, so having these many points is difficult unless you spend a fortune regularly. I guess CS is a rich guy. In my case, need dictates my actions. For example, if I need to book a hotel, I might get a card with annual fee to redeem the rewards that will cover the booking, but I wouldn't keep a card, and pay the annual fee, just so that I avail the free night (First evaluate the need; otherwise it could become a headache—optimizing rewards based on needs is crucial, and determining needs based on rewards is a trap).
Awesome Bro
Booked my ~2 weeks trip to UK and Ireland this summer. 110k Avios (two club world JFK-LHR), 380k Bonvoy, 180k Hilton, 60k IHG, 50k UR. And then some free nights from cards. Got a cash value of ~$13,000 out of them.
absolutely incredible! need more of these insane half million point trips guides!
i almost dropped my food from laughing when you said had to queue with the peasants
