I’ll meet you back at the Conrad Maldives, we enjoyed it and the refurb deluxe beach villa was awesome. Split between the regular overwater villa and we liked the huge beach villa more. The WA Maldives essentially just took away the 5th night free, 4 x 30k more points = 120k.
Is Hilton only changing point demand for Maldives? That's not too big a deal unless it affects all Hiltons.
INFLATION is coming! INFLATION is coming!
These cards are like following the Shares of Companies, like Which Hotel Chain would provide best value and what they need to do in order to be in the top of their game…. When people can say, "I just want a clean bed"
The rental car companies in Hawaii ended up with parking lots full of unused rental cars when the pandemic killed travel in 2020. They ended up shipping the cars out to other markets and as a result have very little inventory with travel restarting. Some tourists have resorted to renting U-Hauls due to the high prices of rental cars.
What filter are using sebby? What's going on with your face at 8:38?
Sebby, do you think military still get the waived fees? I'm trying to recommend it for my co-workers…
Finally!!! you got a great mic!!!
I went to the Flyertalk forums because I noticed the standard room redemptions for water villas was gone. Someone posted that you need to select a 7 night stay for the standard water villas to appear. This morning I managed to snag a 7 night stay from March 25- April 1st. Me and my wife had to pool our Hilton points together and use some Amex MR points to hit the 570k points necessary, but it was worth it since it looks like all the standard water villas are gone now.
If Amex really wanted to make the platinum better. Make 10x on groceries and gas perminant.
The higher the demand for something (travel), the higher the cost. The ebb and flow of trade.
I'm very thankful I got to stay at the Waldorf Maldives in February thanks to seeing yours and Mandy's video in 2019!!! 😀
My favorite deal I have is the Crunchyroll one I got.
A meet up could be interesting. I may have to add in the Hilton cards to my plan!
Thank GOD i got denied for the amex platnium! I went straight to chase saphire reserve!!
Buddy…..this is not the correct pronunciation of Lufthansa’s name.
As a fresh subscriber it is a we bit surreal to be viewing this from a hostel in Central Mexico, as I watch three beautiful young people create cookies to sell about town. It seems almost everyone subsidises life with what we term a "side-hustle". But then they are young and often in the arts. I suppose point earners, CEO's et all are just "subsidizing" their life as well.
There is absolutely no point to get the Hilton surpass unless you plan on staying in water bungalows. We used this card in Bora Bora and Mo’orea and it was wonderful. This card is only good if you live in the burbs and have a family. If you are living in a major city keep the CSR. The point / value system sucks for Hilton has gone major downhill. CSR for life! I plan on destroying the Hilton card after Maldives.
I look to you for all my card benefits. Thanks
Amex Plat needs to add more point bonuses for spending on other than airlines. My company buys my airline tickets on their card so I basically put nothing on my Plat card. They need to match the CSR with 3x on travel or something. I still keep it because of the club access though.
Lmao if you have the centurion card and for some reason you’re watching my channel…. That actually made me lol. You’re the best seb!
Good info, thanks
I miss the old corner set up from your old place, but the video quality you have now is amazing – nice job! 👍🏼🎥📺
What is the tool you use for calendar view for points for night starting at 9:41 in the video. @ask sebby
I know I'm going to look like a fool but… how do you get the calendar view for the Hilton room award? I cant get that when I'm logged in to my account.
Webull is one of the worst ways to purchase doge coin IMO. As much as I hate them. Robinhood seems to be the best
How do you get weekend tickets??
If Hilton extends that to other properties, then they would do it to other demanding ones only. Atleast that is my advice
I like the Shure SM7B Microphone Setup Sebby…
Question. Since the Amazon Prime Rewards card is issued by chase, if I get denied is it a reasonable strategy to call the chase reconsideration line?
Yikes I paid 95k per night at Waldorf Maldives in November of 2020 for grand reef villa for 6 nights
You should do a video about taking out a load and what are the requirements!!
Just what you want to hear after opening a Hilton Card finally lol 🙃
5:50 Ugh, why Avis? They’re easily the worst rental company.
In regards to the Hilton devaluation, at least I don’t intend to travel to the Maldives any time soon.
my girl is awesome!
What is the best airline for MR airline redemption to get to the Maldives?
Nice new camera? Which is it? Also what microphone?
I have the sapphire preferred and Citi double cash.. no new cards in 2021 anyone have any recommendations? Credit score is 786
I’m sad that the Conrad Maldives 95,000 points only applies to Beach villas and not the overwater bungalows. Do you think it’s still worth booking them and hoping for a diamond upgrade to a water villa?
We went to the Conrad Maldives. It was fine; as you said older. It was the second Maldives resort we stayed at on that trip St Regis first which was a nicer property, save the underwater restaurant. We wanted to do Al-Maha then WA Maldives this year, but I don't think we get in now. Conrad would be a great meet-up, we would go back for that.
I was planning for Maldives from last year and it’s keep getting cancelled due to COVID..
I show up to the airport 3 minuets before boarding, IDK why I would want to spend more time at the airport.
Hi Sebby!! We just wanted to let you and the community know that the Waldorf Astoria Maldives JUST opened up their award availability for 2022 and there is wide open availability next year in 2022 for standard 120k point redemptions AND 150k point redemptions. The 150k point rooms are considered standard rooms still, so you can use free night certs for those and stack them on the 120k nights to still take advantage of a 5th night free! We just booked our stay for Feb of next year, you and Mandy should go too!!!
For those who might be interested, we will be sharing a tutorial on how to book this on our channel so please check it out! 😀
Holy mackerel! I can't believe I never found your channel sooner. Incredibly helpful, extremely detailed, and thoroughly researched. You, my friend, have another lifelong subscriber.
Thank you for your advice.
I signed up for the this Hilton card with a 80k signing bonus after you spend the 3k a few months ago , thinking that 80k points is a lot and will go far, fast forward to now with 160k points in my cache , after trying to spend the points I'm lucky to get 2 nights , so far not happy with this card
I'm going to follow the x3 Hilton card strategy with my player 2. Planning to put December 2023 wedding spend on the cards. Hoping we can honeymoon January 2024 in Maldives or Bora Bora with points and certificates. Just worried by 2024 there will be 10 more devaluations lol.
