Want to use miles to fly First Class around the world? Yes, it can be done! Sure, it sounds like one of those ‘too good to be true’ things, but it really works. We at Frequent Miler have been traveling in First Class for peanuts for years using the tricks explained in our blog, podcast, social media, and RUclips videos. The catch (and yes, there’s always a catch) is that it takes knowledge and organization to pull it off. That’s where we can help!

Thanks for the info + video!
Uber only gave 1% in Mexico. It says US only in conditions
3 hard pulls though..
Ikr. And For card(s) they will undoubtably nerf…and for savor one, will be very soon!
@@newagain9964yes, it's too good to be true
im currently using the hilton surpass for most of my grocery spend
What card did you PC from on the new savor, Nick?
I’m so happy to see another standalone segment. I wish it was longer though.
This is such a valuable card. The 3 x categories are very generous. I've had it for almost 2 years now. Museums, aquarium and similar do indeed count as 3 %. Cap1 gives you the points/cash back shortly after the transactions post. There's no minimum on how much of your cashback you can transfer. It's very practical and you can take advantage of your points days after you pay (or purchase something)
Insomnia and a 1 year old with an ear infection has allowed me the all important….. FIRST!
In terms of the GOH award, it’s seems something similar happened to me, where I was gifted the award, I called in the apply it to a stay I already had booked. I finished out that stay, and the benefits were recognized, but I still have a GOH award in my account. I’m planning on applying that to a stay at the Andaz in Tokyo that I have booked
Amex Gold ( 4 MR ) vs 5% cash back ?? Can you do a deep dive on the benefits of MR points vs Cash back.
USBAR is my go to card for international travel 😊
What about an honorable mention for the Chase Aeroplan Card? 3x world-wide groceries & dinning. Bonus spend categories, redemption bonuses, and status upgrade. It’s probably the first consumer card that I get when I’m 3/24. The downside is that you’re locked into the Aeroplan system.
i love good mee-mee's
Can you guys do a collab with @moneyguyshow?
Freedom flex has 10x grocery for 1 year, which is pretty good. Like idea behind altitude reserve just don’t like the annual fee
I personally like the Strata Premier for EVA business class. Aeroplan is in alliance with EVA but never releases reward availability for that.
Strata Premier is not even in the discussion because it is the same earning as SavorOne for $95 more. The only decision is between Savor and SavorOne. My pick is the Savor, which is $230 cheaper than the Gold (which isnot accepted at many restaurants) but still gets 4x dining and the slightly less 3x groceries isn't as important since we buy groceries from places like Walmart (which doesn't take mobile wallet). USBAR is not great because you can't hand your phone at sit-down restaurants. Too bad Savor isn't available anymore!
Thanks for the info + video!
You forgot Citi Custom Cash and Amex EDP
6:30 Citi also has Wyndham
Citi Strata Premier big advantage: bonuses always work in Canada. You guys sometimes refer to "abroad" for non-US spend, but remember the significant minority of your audience that's straddling the Canada-US border with cards issued in both countries.
And even more for US - Mexico border
Do Capital One SavorOne bonus categories work in Canada?
@@tcai5341 groceries worked in Dominican Republic. Uber didn't work in Mexico
Blue Cash Preferred and Blue Cash Everyday?
$250 was pushing it already. I'm probably going to downgrade.
Best part of my morning = new frequent miler video drop!!
💕Amex Gold Card🥇,… Don’t Live Life Without It
Good morning and thank you!
Some times if you don’t accept cookies or if you have a browser security extension, you can block data you have entered
FYI, Wyndham does allow you to put any name when making an award booking. Surprised you guys didn't talk about Choice hotels, especially since they bought Radison (Americas).
Tips on traveling with a family would be most appreciated. When you drill down, it seems that most RUclipsrs/bloggers usually travel solo or with one companion. Not a family. "You can travel business class around the world!" Yeah sure, do you how many points I need for a family of 5 to travel business/first class??? I guess we could fly way over in there in style, and then sleep in the street. So yeah, more tips for families.
I don't think the premium seats are any more than extra legroom as I believe every seat will be getting a holder for phone/iPad and probably power, but we'll see. I am most disappointed because they are taking away the comfortable seats that are still left on the 737-700s. After they change the seats on all the 700s, I don't think I'll be able to fly the airline at all.
I did it with my son with Hilton in Paris and IHG in Tbilisi, Georgia. I messaged the hotel ahead of time and said that I may not make it but he was registered on the reservation. No problems both times.
My my personal gold card af just hit at $250, while I like most of the new ways to migrant the af, the main reason I am going to cancel within the following 30 days is that I am tire of the monthly credits on TOO MANY OF MY CARD. I have decided that I am only going to manage 5 cards with monthly credits as its a way of doing business these days.
In addition to pooling, Hilton also lets you transfer points direct from one member to another (no pool required). Both times I’ve done it, it was instantaneous.
Thanks for the great info + video!
Does globalist do anything for you at Mr & Mrs Smith properties?
Great job FM team! Definitely will book a stay for my family sometime down the road!
Ironically my frequent miler bing searches turn up a DoC page: "10 best posts by frequent miler". I can click through to get to the website. Otherwise it's nowhere near the first page of search results
42:42 You don't need to call, I did it recently, I added myself as a second guest, and they were able to find me, however I needed to give a name of the gifter.
27:05 I think it's not worth to hold Rewards+ card, because if you convert it to Custom Cash, you'll get 30k points per year instead of 10k.
Definitely Amazon codes as bookstore. Previously Citi Forward also had the same category, and it gave 5x TYP.
I’ve got an hour ride home tonight. Can’t wait to listen. Thank you!
People really get upset if they cant sit next to the person they came with lol
I feel these videos are never long enough. Always appreciate the wealth of knowledge these podcasts offer🙏
Agreed 😂
Interesting how other issuers don’t make you opt in for monthly credits 🤔
Love your videos/podcast, but would love something shorter. 1 hour+ is hard to find time to commit to.
@@agasque Totally understand. We've found the long form to really appeal to a lot of people, but I know there are only so many hours in a day. A couple of thoughts/suggestions: 1) We publish a weekly coffee break episode every week on Tuesdays. Those episodes cover a single topic in 20 minutes or less (or your money back). 2) As you'll hear in this week's episode, we're breaking out Card Talk to be is own separate weekly episode to talk about just that single card. I expect most of those to be 3-10 minutes long. 3) You can adjust the speed of playback. At 2x speed, I still find our voices easily understandable and it takes half the time to listen. 4) We keep the timestamps in the show notes, so if you don't want to dedicate an hour all at once, you can easily go to the timestamps and skip around or come back to where you left off. All that said, not every medium is right for every person, so know that you've always got the blog and our Facebook group as other places to get miles and points info. Thanks, Nick
Didn’t C1 just discontinue new apps for the Savor One?
@@theworldaccordingtodev No. They discontinued the Savor card ($95 annual fee). The SavorOne (no annual fee) is still available. -Nick
They are going to price themselves out of the market with these insane fee increases. Similar multipliers on other cards
I plan to cancel the Gold as the $75 for DD is not enough of an incentive, even though I live where DD is on every block. Will go to the Amex Green.
@@paulcharles6583 green is absolutely useless
If they were to ditch the grocery or restaurant multiplier I would cancel as soon as it went into effect! I clean up on those multipliers so there would absolutely be no reason to keep it unless they came up with a multiplier that made sense for the average person.
I’m going to use the new credits on my $250 AF Gold Card and then cancel it in March when it renews. I received a $200 retention offer this year so I’m only $50 out of pocket for this card. Bye, Amex! I moved over to the $95 AF Citi Strata.
