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.

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

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

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.

@@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 ?
@ryanshannon696323 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.
