I am loving these videos! The redemption information is tremendously helpful.
I find it amazing how these rewards systems exist, yet so few people are ever taught how to use them (no doubt banks love it) 😆👌 FANTASTIC instructional video Dustin! 🥇💥🥇
Hey Waller..excellent topic and content.
What I would like to see is perhaps a series on the best transfer partners with examples of these great redemptions. Example, a Turkish Airlines sweet spot transfer from Thankyou points ( I heard it's J class to Hawaii?).
Cheers!🙏👍🏼
CSR or CSP in combo w/ United Mileage Plus card = United Business Saver point fares. CPP can be 10+!
Chase has to be planning something big. Their products continue to fall behind everywhere. Be ready to pounce when they do.
If I could get away with mailing myself DHL around the world I would! Ain't paying no $5,000 Waller!!
Thanks Dustin, U have had just a bevy of GREAT info and tips for card strategies so far in this first month of the year. Your Citi potential strategy I found very informative as I consider an airline card this year at some point…. LOL ! Protections aside….. Being able 2 downgrade that AA card 2 a Citi DC card after one year…… Well, it’s Genius I Tell U ! Genius ! LOL! Thanks ! If U have one…. I’ll certainly use your link 2 appl !
Awesome video. I totally agree with the rankings.
Another plus for Citi is that you can add the no AF Rewards+ to any TYP ecosystem and get an automatic 10% rebate on the first 100k TYPs redeemed which is awesome for a no AF card that has an intro bonus, a multiplier, and a round up option.
The Rewards+ is an often overlooked way of boosting the value of TYPs…especially when the amount of points matter as it relates to business class flights.
is this “chapters” thing a new YT feature ? either way great vid 💪🏾💯
Disappointed not to see discover miles on here🤣🤣🤣
I just used Amex for 60,000 pts for Air France one way to Europe and 45,000 pts on Turkish thru Citi Thank you points.
Excellent video! Cash back is always in last place in my mind, even BoA and barclay eco systems are better than cash back for reward redemptions. Citi is a hoop jumper compared to the UR system though. Im really looking forward to your redemption videos, they're your beast move over the other yt voggers!
What a great video!!
Great video 📹 and thanks for the info 👍 😀
What's up, Waller! How are you? I've been reading peoples questions on your FB, and a few have said that their credit cards were canceledclosed by the issuers, and you even briefly talked about it in a video. So, my question is, (I know you should always paid your balance, I do) is it better to carry a balance (responsibly) than to sit dormant? I do have a few cards that I don't use, and I've had them for years, but maybe I should be paying my HBO/Netflix with them? Do banks like people to carry balances? Reading your FB posts, comments, and watching your videos really opened my protectives on credit cards in general. I'm glad there's people like you that share/teach people responsible credit card management. Thanks in advance! You're the best!
Citi won't let you product change in the 1st year, FYI
Each Chase Ultimate Rewards® point is generally worth 1 to 1.5 cents, depending on which cards you have and what you buy with the points. Points may be worth even more if you transfer them to one of Chase's travel partner programs.
I certainly don't know as much about this hobby as you do, but I would completely agree with your rankings. I just wish Chase would step up their game. I really do and want some of their cards but I just can't right now. It would honestly be sign up, get the bonus, then close the card. Keep up the great work man. Take care and keep the family safe!!
I haven't traveled for years, but I really enjoyed this. Now I understand much more.
which citi card has partnership with qatar airways to gain miles !!!
What do you think about Amex now that they have an increased AF?
