I didn’t see the mallet coming!! 🤣🤣
Appreciate Sebby replying to all the comments on Sunday night!!!
I noticed the plant
Basically, don't be a Karen. There's the urban legend of Southwest CEO Herb Kelleher telling a frequent flyer to F off, stop abusing his employees and choose another airline if they weren't meeting expectations. Herb knew there couldn't be THAT many complaints about his employees.
The southwest cards are an amazing deal I love them. Understand the process of how to use them I got a companion pass for my wife 5 years ago. After it expired she got the cards and we did the exact same thing she earned it for me. Now this year I’m eligible again to earn the pass for her and since I’ve been doing this for awhile I also really know how to gain on the system I have 258k in points. Unfortunately not a lot of flying this year hopefully next year will be better.
Also side note don’t just cancel your card if you do this for multiple years like I have. Ask customer service to roll the credit limit from one card into another. So instead of having 2 cards with a 10k limit each. You will have one card with a 20k limit that matters when building credit.
I have 5 chase credit cards. Last time I applied for one, they didn't approve me right away and eventually they approved it by moving some credit lines from my other chase cards to it and they said the reason was because they didn't want to give me more credit. If I want to apply for more Chase cards, should I cancel some to lower my amount of credit with them?
Whenever I think about applying to SW cards, I remember the Boeing 737 Max. Then I just say, stick with Delta.
Hi @sebby, do you have a referral link for the Southwest cards that you could share? Planning to get a CP for 2021 and 2022 <3
Cruisers gonna Cruise!!!! Shout out to dumb money!
The points only yours when you already spend them , otherwise they are only numbers .
Sebby you sound ill
I quit HH after they diluted it many years ago and never looked back
That 30-night for Hyatt Globalist is sounding better by the minute 🙂
I’m really tempted to apply for the WOH card before 12/31 to get the 10 status nights. But my 5/24 falloff date is December 10 and if I recall, I should wait until the beginning of the next month?
THIS IS WHAT I ALWAYS DO: DON'T GET THESE AIRLINE OR HOTEL CARDS. GET "TRAVEL CARDS" (FROM BANKS) AND ACCRUE POINTS THERE AND ONLY TRANSFER OVER ENOUGH POINTS TO AIRLINE OR HOTEL PROGRAMS THAT YOU NEED. NOT ONE DAY SOONER AND NOT ONE POINT MORE.
Question about the Plastiq $1500 Promo. Is there time limit to spend the $5000 to get it?
Hi Sebby…..hello Mr. Plant 🤗.
Okay, what kind of crap is Hilton trying to pull. I know their are some people who
are "extremists" and find anything to file a complaint about! But if you are servicing your customers properly…. but if you are not and they have a legitimate complaint and you want to penalize them for complaining? Nooooo. I could never use any of your products or hotel chains ever, I mean EVER again!!!!
Sebby if I apply for the personal and business and get the companion pass, could I cancel the business card before the second annual fee if I already have the companion pass without it affecting my companion pass status? Thanks
Finally some love for Mr. Plant 🪴♥️
In regards to the Hilton shutdown, the member probably got busted for a scam. Obviously, anything is possible, but complaining about internet access is tough. I used to travel 6-10 x per year before COVID and I had times with internet access, where there was poor download speeds or multiple times where I lost connection. But it's part of travelling. When a lot of people are using internet for streaming movies, bandwidth becomes tight especially during some hours. I've also had AC problems- they usually fix it or give me another room. Overall, I think you should encourage people not to freak out about losing status. That hammer was funny though. Some people love scamming or creating trouble as you mentioned. Nobody wants them as customers (or even as friends if given a choice).
Not sure if it's old news but the max on AMEX cards is now 4….where it formally was 5. Found out yesterday.😔
For anyone reading this can you steer me in the right direction:
Goal: companion pass.
Leaning towards the route of getting 2 SW cards: maybe the priority + plus for effectively: 160,000 points after meeting spend requirements. Plan to possible cancel the plus after the 1st year.
Would you say this is the better route to go vs the business card route?
Also how would you calculate getting SW points from regular spend? Just 1 point per 1 cent?
Thank you!
Love your videos man! I'm a huge traveler myself. The one I've been using for 6 years now is the barclaycard arrival plus mc and it's paid for alot of my trips. Im debating on whether to keep it anymore due to working on a chase trifecta. I have the preferred, freedom unlimited, and SW priority card. Barclay is still 2× for every dollar, 5% back after redeeming anything but costs $89 a year with no anniversary points coming in. In your experience, is it worth keeping? Any advise would help!. Thank you!
Put the speed at 1.25 and you can still understand EVERYTHING and cut the video time to 7 mins and 30 seconds. Time is money.
I gave up on Hilton. I travel to places for work, sometimes for 30 days at a time and the best hotels in those locations are Marriott. Plus I get to use my Amex cards (including Bonvoy) to pay. Free points!
