HAHAHha well Virgin Voyages is one I do want to try (even though I hate cruises) because it’s such a good deal

@jayzee316 27 күн бұрын

same, I would likely never do a cruise (till I can't hike/walk well) but I watched cause max keeps his vids short and sweet :)

I booked this back in May when there was a 30% Amex bonus transfer to Virgin. Booked the 5-night Dominican one for 89,000. The awesome part is that this is for two people per cabin as opposed to how other cruise lines charge per person.

I booked 7 night from Barcelona for only 120k points 2 people include everything. when the transfer bonus was 30%. Looking forward for this trip. To me it’s definitely worth better than business class for a few hours.

Nice! Definitely a good redemption and an easy one too! Hope you enjoy the cruise!

I did the 8 days "French Daze Ibiza Nights" last year for 62K Virgin miles. Double the points cost now, imo not that great of a deal

@MaxMilesPoints 27 күн бұрын

cash rate at $2500+, redemption at 120,000 points for two people, still over 2 cents per point. not a bad deal at all. may have been cheaper in 2023 but we don't have a time machine

My plan is to use my transfer bonus UR points for Air France flights, however, Virgin cruises is my backup plan.

I'm the same way with cruises, but I'll give Virgin Cruise a try since Virgin Atlantic is my go to partner bookings. On a non related topic, your channel was mentioned in Frequent Miler's latest podcast congrats!

max can you do a video on BILT and the alaska airlines transfer bonus that is happening in july! please tell us if it is worth it. i am a frequent traveler to asia. if we transfer points over to alaska, will the points have an expiration date? please i hope you see this

@ryanshannon6963 23 күн бұрын

Alaska Airlines is formally part of OW now. Also, they still have partnership with JAL with pretty good redemption rates. Look for a redemption and if it's available then transfer and book.

Devalued by 100%+ from 2023. Booked Virgin Voyages 8 days European cruise last year for 62K Virgin Atlantic miles + $0. Best cruise Ive ever been to (I've been to 11). But I dont believe the new point rates are a good deal at all.

@eltipo223 27 күн бұрын

@@Re3iRtH it was a promotional rate to get some people hooked and sailing. Now that they attracted a bigger customer base, they can raise the cost. I think next year it will be even more expensive, especially when they start the west coast cruises.

@@eltipo223 Maybe but at the end of the day its < 1% of people who are using points to pay for the cruise. It's only select sailings and during the hottest (off peak) months that you could use points

Hey Max , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos , make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth to grow your channel ! Pls let me know what do you think ?

@ryanshannon6963 23 күн бұрын

I think his editing and thumbnails are just fine. His content fits a very niche area on the credit card points game space on YT; actual, real world examples of redemptions. Demonstrations regarding how to, search, transfer and redeem. If he were to expand his content it would be *maybe* credit card strategy and then how to utilize those points. That's getting dangerously close to "Sebby Zone" though, and Sebby is *very good* at that specific area. However, I do like how he's branched out into Cruise redemptions (maybe just this one video), and I have nearly zero interest in cruises. But, if there's other activities involving points redemptions then I think anyone is open to that type of content if it can provide value to the viewer.
