Sitting on Marriott Bonvoy and Ritz, but I desire Plar Status. So...I have to (I think) downgrade Ritz? Wait 5 months and apply. My 2nd Marriott is 1 year 7 months old. Also considering Aeroplan card.
Another great video, but I think you might be making videos in the middle of the night again. All your CPP examples for the Ink Preferred use 80,000 points, but the bonus is 100,000 points (as you point out before starting to walk us through the math).
@@AskSebbyBusiness love your videos - but couldn’t pass up the chance to bust your chops a bit. Thanks for all the great info! PS - team travel. Next trip is WA Maldives for 7 nights in May. All on points - biz class flights too!
Sebby I stayed at the conrad Maldives. Redemption was 480k hilton points + fifth night free. Transfer 160k amex points rest was hilton points from sign up bonus. Was it worth?
I'm thinking about applying for Chase Ink Cash. Would it be a problem if I used it to buy lumber to hit the 6k faster? This would be my first business cc, so I'm not familiar on the rules. Do people actually use this card as a personal cc even though its a business? Does it get reported to the IRS?
I would like to think buying lumber will be fine. I’ve used my business cards for personal purchases without any issues and without it being reported to the IRS. If you plan to write off any of the true business expenses on your taxes just make sure not to accidentally claim any of the personal charges as business expenses if they weren’t for your business.
I had a similar thing with the AA business card. Could have sword it was 0% for 12 months. Glad I wasn’t banking on that and was still paying the card off
@@verychinnyapga1599 Yes, but the point of the 5-day offer is forcing points loss due to breakage, just like the monthly credits on the Amex Gold and Platinum are designed to do.
It’s that much because there’s no standard rooms available on the date you checked..same as Hilton would do or Hyatt probably just wouldn’t be bookable on points. I checked now and there’s plenty dates you can find with the point range Sebby mentioned in the video.
Sebby, I believe you recently made a video for the best credit cards that offset checked bag fees but I can’t for the life of me find it. Am I insane or did you recently make a video like that?
Whale sharks are so cool to swim with! I've snorkeled with one in Cancun and I saw one while diving in Thailand. I'm going to the Maldives this summer and hopefully it's not too rainy
