Makes sense! However, we travel a LOT, and prefer to get $12K - $15K of annual value at Hyatt hotels. We just use a 2 card stack for 95% of our purchases. #1 We use the CSR Visa for airlines, cruises, dining and rideshare (3x pts). #2 We use Chase WOH Visa for everything else to earn and maintain Globalist status (based on Qualifying nights, and credit card spend). We always pay for our flights, and sometimes we leverage the cruiseline group discounts on airfare. Cheers!

Hi @DaveM-FFB. My wife and I have the CSR and are traveling more as well. I like Hyatt as a transfer partner and want to get and keep status. Can you say how you get $12K to $15K of annual value at Hyatt? Presumably you’re spending on your WOH at the hotels and then getting tons of points to redeem for free nights? Other tips? Happy traveling!

I am a Chicagoan like yourself and also own Sapphire Reserve. However, one major weakness for us, Chicagoans, is lack of Priority Pass lounge in any of the domestic terminals and the only one "Swissport Lounge" exists in international travel. Chase has created some Sapphire Lounges and none of them exist in Chicago and it doesn't have any future plan either. Chase used to reimburse unto $28 in other selected restaurants and that program has also been disconnected. We need to raise this to Chase and/or Priority Pass as its devaluing the Reserve card.

The problem with Chase is their portal. Prices are VERY marked up. You know Chase is basically giving itself a “kickback “ at the expense of your points. I thought chase did not allow transfers to airlines. For all credit cards, hotel credits are a joke. The prices are so inflated, the credits are worthless.

Nik, another thing you might want to remind people about is the shopping portals that the airlines have. Not using a shopping portal for the airline that you like is throwing away miles. One of the stores I buy from online is PetSmart and they just had an increase in their miles yesterday to 3 mi from its usual 1 mi per dollar. So when I spent my $100 order I ended up getting 300 mi instead of 100 MI. Plus of course I used my Chase card so I got the normal 1X miles for the hundred dollars and 300 extra miles for going through the portal. Why would anybody throw away free miles??

Hi - actually I cover the redemption for that $27,000 itinerary here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKTIpoJ7jbKEmNk I know it may sound too good to be true, but between sign up bonuses, maximizing every day spend, and finding good points sweet spots - this was actually pretty easy to pull off. For context, you don't need 2.7 million points to do something like this - more like 300K points. The dollar value is what one would have to pay if you were paying cash. You do you, though!

@@awaytogether lol ok this guy is lying again. i just watched that video. what he's doing is somehow getting a business class trip to vienna for 88k miles. that's just some special lucky deal. it has nothing to do with points. 88k miles is roughly equal to 800 usd. as for his reply to me earlier about 300k miles to achieve it, well that's not 27000 usd. 300k miles is equivalent to like 2500 usd or something. there is absolutely no magic or trick to any of this. all you need to know is you're getting at most 10% reward on any amount of money you spent and 10% is probably impossible, average is 2%.

How convenient you post these three cards and want people to use your referral code to gain those $15k of travel. I will use my referral to someone who deserves it.

You're right - these videos must be incredibly easy to make. :) I didn't do this for a referral. Please, do as you see fit!

Damn that was harsh 😵💫😮💨. But I’m sure he taught you something in this video. So that should at least be worth you signing up under his referral code. Meanwhile this other “deserving person” hasn’t taught you a thing and would probably not do the same for you in return. Some people just wake up looking to be evil 😂

@awaytogether - I have some big purchases coming up (HVAC and new roof) which I have saved for, will be a total spend of more than $65k. Which card would you recommend I use? I do not mind paying an annual fee.
