Thank you for the video. Ramy! Do you know when is it usually a good time to buy Alaska or emirates skywards miles? We travel to Jordan every year almost and it would be nice to upgrade to business class once in a while especially for my older mother. Thanks again!

Top your video. Here in Brazil there is an option to buy miles and sell them on travel agency websites, and make a small profit with these miles. However, the more you make, the greater the profit. Another way is to buy miles through promotions and issue these tickets to other people. Was it like that with you? However, two trusted agencies are in crisis at the moment. market kind of stopped.

Hey Ramy, I need to purchase more than the allowable Emirates 100,000 miles to take advantage of a great deal. Anyways around purchasing more than the allotted amount. I have researched all other avenues ie, hotel loyalty points etc. Thanks

Great video! I'm thinking of buying a AAdvantage miles in a few weeks to keep them from expiring. However, I only have about 10k left, so I'm unsure if it's actually worth it...

@PointsPointers 5 жыл бұрын

I think it’s worth it. Just buy the minimum amount. Just think that u’d have to fly a lot of spend a lot on a AAdvantage card to earn 10,000 miles

Hey Rami! I need some advice. I will be doing a home renovation and hoping to earn some points on the side as I will pay off the card Immediately. I have the CSR, Freedom, freedom unlimited, Hyatt, and united club card. What would you recommend for a new card combo to maximize or should I just use the unlimited? I don’t have a business. Thanks!

Why not apply for any other new card you were looking to get and earn the signup bonus from that spend

Southwest just had a promotion-> 6X miles on any southwest purchase. When we see deals like this what happens if I buy miles on southwest using my southwest card? Do I gwt 6X miles on the miles I bought because it was a southwest purchase using the southwest card??

Avianca is great for bying miles and there is no surcharge, however when redeeming and flying via London you will be slugged with a massive surcharge to use the London airport when flying business or first class

Yeah, London and Europe in general is not great in terms of taxes and surcharges

Tied to my business and can't really travel far away. But trying to make it possible for my wife + 1 family member to take a trip to Hawaii. She's never been on a plane. Barclay AA biz + Citi AA biz. Should add up to about 135k miles for 1k+4k spend. IND-DFW-HNL = ~72.5k miles per person round trip. So need about 145k mi depending on the travel dates. Barclay had website issues...phone issues...total run around...finally submitted...answer pending. Citi instantly approved for 20k no nonsense. Already have 174k Marriott pts set aside. Ritz is 60k/night. If anyone has any Hawaii travel recommendations, feel welcome to comment.

Update: Barclay experience was a nightmare. Several months ago I closed the card I had with them that was open for years. Told directly by a high level supervisor that they couldn't do a product change for the card I had -- that I had to close it and apply for a new card if I wanted a travel or airline rewards card. So that's what I just did. Told my application needed additional info. OK, cool. But they never called as promised. So I called them. Apparently I was declined for some silly technicality from the get-go. There was never going to be a call for "additional info" before making a decision. Done with their games and nonsense. Nobody likes being lied to and mislead. Gave their reconsideration team 1 final chance. Zero effort made. So they just lost a customer...for LIFE. Went back to Citi. Applied for the personal version of their AA card. Once again, instantly approved with no issues for 19k. Advice for anyone interested in applying for a new AA card -- go with Citi -- avoid Barclay no matter what. Me before today: 766FICO, 22 accounts, 241k total credit limits, 0-1% utilization. Guess there is a *reason* why Citi stock has nearly *tripled* compared to Barclay since 2010.

Rami, I am not sure if I made the right or wrong choice but essentially, I recently puchased 150k points from AA ( they had a promotion). As I live in Australia, our international borders are finally opening up and we will be allowed to travel abroad. I found a redemption on Qatar from Sydney to Berlin in Business class for 85k ( march). Need your advise if I should redeem this now or wait?
