Going to add this to the best videos of 2023 on youtube. This really is informative, great info. Myself, as a European Plebeian, do not get to fly often, also we do not get those credit cards benefits. But this could make alot of sense to anyone with access to credit cards, or someone in the US of A. Even for me, there could be something to learn here.
Thank you Marina! Last year I discovered completely by CHANCE that I could upgrade at the counter, I was 6 months pregnant flying 13 hour flight NYC to Dubai with Emirates. I missed out on the online offer to upgrade for only $900 additional but SO glad I just took a chance & asked at the counter at the airport if they still had the offer and I was shocked that I could upgrade for only $1,050 to business class that cost $10K+ if I had purchased business class to start with. It was SO worth it. Can't believe I've had chase sapphire for YEARS but only ever booked travel through chase website thinking I was getting the best deal haha I can't wait to use your tips here to fly business again & again. Thanks a ton for this info.
Alaska has better redemptions than any other american airlines. Only issue is their partners are only mariott bonvoy and alaska's own credit card. I got a flight to New zealand from SFO for just 55,000 miles + 61$ on alaska using miles for business class. Much cheaper than united.
Even before you sign up for a card, the first question you should ask yourself is whether you will pay off the balance completely each month. If not, read what the interest rate and grace period. Many of these cards are 21% or more and 21 days. So thats how people end up with tens of thousands in credit card debt even if they are quite well paid.
The Lufthansa business class video was the first video I watched on your channel. Your enthousiasm was inspiring and I'm glad to see that you are keeping up with your miles. Very motivating content :))
I won't get tired of repeating the fact that the video "Business class on Lufthansa" was my first Marina's video. Since that time and that video I've been following her. Love, adore, admire❤
Very Good Marina! You taught us how to earn points to travel Business Class on American airlines. I can’t wait to watch the next your Video.! Best Regards! Luís Lopes
Watched one minute... I think I know what's going on with it now. $346 is tax fee only. All others was accumulated by points and miles where you flew and points you gained through bank credit cards and others. But you still need to consume those miles in United Airlines with just few times flight journeys and limited time frame. I did same in my EVA AIR mileage.
Marina, amazing video thanks :). Do you know how to get these credit cards as a European living in Europe? Should I get American Express and where to get it? How does it work in Europe. I've been trying to find this out for the last half a year...
