To clarify, I don't have a problem with purchasing points, but I have an issue with people on Instagram who are misleading with it and make it seem as though they didn't pay anything.

@jsbatra 3 дня назад

“Comparison can be a thief of joy” was the most important lesson i just learned. Points and miles or life in general.

@jpknowledge8852 3 дня назад

I agree. If you don't look at what others have and just focus on yourself, it makes you a lot happier.

Thank you for being honest and open. Agree that some influencer need to be less misleading.

@jpknowledge8852 3 дня назад

I wish it would stop. The deals are already great! Why make it seem even better than it is

After hanging out with a friend who refuses to use anything other than her Chase debit card but literally travels the world, free travel would be free to her minus the 9/11 fees.

@jpknowledge8852 6 часов назад

I have many friends like that 😂 If only they knew what we know. I can't remember the last time I used a debit card to purchase anything.

Man you just called out half the people in this space including myself. I have always had a habit of saying this. To be fair, I max out HH points every year. I don’t call it 🆓 anymore, I call it discounted now. Thanks for this video jpknowledge.

@jpknowledge8852 3 дня назад

There is nothing wrong with purchasing Hilton points. It is a great way to get discounts on awesome hotel stays. But we should all agree that this game isn't "free"

@FlyWithRookie 3 дня назад

@@jpknowledge8852 oh heck no it’s not free. It cost me $2400.

@Leoprieto74 3 дня назад

I personally go for the high annual fees cards because of the elevated travel perks and benefits (e.g., Amex Brilliant and Aspire hotel status, Delta Reserve first class companion cert, United Club and Citi AA executive lounges memberships, etc.) I am not much focus on points and miles accumulation cards. Cheers 🥂

@jpknowledge8852 3 дня назад

Those benefits really make the difference of elevating the travel experience. I'm all about it!

I am fairly new. I got 8 card in 3 months. The difficulty in finding business class seats is a high learning curve. I learned about the Jet Blue business card yesterday. What a great card.

@jpknowledge8852 3 дня назад

It takes time to figure out how to book premium award seats, but it does get easier. The Jetblue Business card is super underrated. Definitely an airline card that is worth it

@devlin76 День назад

Great video JP! When I first was getting into the credit card points and miles world I watched a lot of AskSebby videos. He takes some amazing trips, but thankfully he is a math nerd so all the nitty gritty details were there if you were paying attention.

@jpknowledge8852 День назад

Sebby has good videos. I really like when he talks about his trips. I'm a math nerd 🤓

I was declined this morning for the Hawaiian airlines card through Barclays today. I ended up applying for the 70k points after a single purchase. Unfortunately too many accounts in the past 24 months 😩😃.

@jpknowledge8852 3 дня назад

That stinks 😕

@trickdickle6652 3 дня назад

💯I think the most misleading thing about the points and miles game is the lack of acknowledgement of value in cashing out $700 SUBs and letting that cash chill in VT or VOO for a several decades. As if getting $700 for spending $3-$4k on daily spend is some kind of ripoff. So many "I spent $500 on $50,000 worth of travel in 3 years!!!" But that $700 sub cashed into an IRA at age 20 will be worth over $50,000 by age 65.

@jpknowledge8852 3 дня назад

Very true. There can be a ton of value in cashing out the points and putting the money into an index fund. We should always take into consideration the opportunity cost.

@robert8311 3 дня назад

How I see points “ I have points to reduce the cost of my vacation “ it’s not free but it’s saving me money vs me doing cash back

@jpknowledge8852 3 дня назад

That is a good way to look at it.

@jeffchung6832 3 дня назад

So true, it's not free at all. Points have value and there is a lot of work invloved when trying to find that First class ANA seat redemption to tokyo. Many get in the game and struggle with redemption especially for family travel..... Good video!!!

@jpknowledge8852 3 дня назад

You're right. Every time I talk to someone looking to book for families, they don't realize that the search for premium seats for families is a magnitude more difficult than for solo travelers.

@andreeldridge8457 3 дня назад

The problem is that Barclays is MUCH harder to be approved for. If it was easier to get, trust that more people would talk about it. The same with Cap 1.

@jpknowledge8852 3 дня назад

That's fair to say. Chase and Amex are a lot easier to get approved for.

"Pay less" is the goal, buy isn't as click baity as "free". "Less is more", but not free.Tonight P2 and I are flying to LAX First Class on AA through AS miles. AS charges less miles on AA flights than AA.

@jpknowledge8852 3 дня назад

Awesome! Alaska miles are currently the best way to book AA flights under 1,500 miles distance. Enjoy your trip.
