NOTE: after filming this I realized that United awards through Air Canada were not showing on Point Me, I only saw then when I was looking for Lufthansa on Air Canada. Hopefully they can change this and add United in the future.

Ben, for the Flying Blue flight to LHR, they are not actually quoting low. It is 75500 points but you need to transfer 76000 Amex points since you can only transfer amex points at multiples of 1000.

how do you know which one is the best value? How do you do the math with the miles plus the cash fees

This is awesome. I pay the $12 a month so this may save me money, however I have lots of United miles since I fly them and or Star Alliance partners as I live in Japan so that is the only downside. Nonetheless, phenomenal video.

Don't apply for the gold first.

@marlonarancibia3247 5 ай бұрын

Build up your credit score with no annual fee cards, and more importantly (in my opinion) you'll be locked out of the Green's sign up bonus if you get the gold.

@robert8311 5 ай бұрын

Most likely will get denied with no credit history get a starter card to build history

@travelswiththecontessa5307 5 ай бұрын

I second what others have said, don't start with the gold or you'll be locked out of the green bonus. If you're going to try to start with an Amex card, start with the green. But also as others have said, you're unlikely to get approved for it with no credit history. Go for a no annual fee starter card😊

Do you know if they factor in transfer bonuses when available like when it’s 1.25 points to transfer to Air France? Also looks like they display points in the airline’s points, not actually comparing how many Amex points you’d be spending. Am I understanding that correctly?

@TheCreditShifu 5 ай бұрын

It’s displayed as airline points, so if there’s a transfer bonus you will be able to transfer less over

but how do we know if the total amount of points they are charging is a good deal?

@TheCreditShifu 4 ай бұрын

Search the flight in cash on the airline’s website and then deduct the amount of taxes being charged on the reward booking from the price and then divide the remaining figure by the number of points. For economy booking you want to be getting over 1.25 cents per point and for business class over 2cents per point

@Jahang89 4 ай бұрын

I think the point discrepancy is because you can only transfer points in increments of 1000.

@johnhasagun 5 ай бұрын

Only shows Delta business flights and no first or economy seats.

I was searching business.

@johnhasagun 5 ай бұрын

My correction, when looking for flights you have to select economy or main cabin. Found out it automatically selects first or business.

Also making it easier for people is not necessarily a good thing. Makes it harder to book award seats for us people who can be bothered to research things properly

They’re only showing aeroplan awards on air Canada metal?

@TheCreditShifu 5 ай бұрын

Yeah I guess because they are not an Amex transfer partner. But that is kind of dumb, since you can book them with the miles of a transfer partner. Actually Lufthansa isn't a transfer partner and they did show, so that's kind of odd.

So if I have all my amex points stored with virgin atlantic ( per one of mark reese's awesome charts, virgin Transfers to the most airlines) I can use this tool to check business class availability, open a membership ship with a new airline, transfer the points and book the flight using the airline miles?
