How I Saved £6,698 On CHEAP BUSINESS CLASS FLIGHTS Using Companion Vouchers

[@TheHumblePenny]

Does flying Business Class cheaply sound appealing? 😀. We did it with points from this AMEX card thehumblepenny.com/AMEX

[@ganglittle8412]

This is what I been looking for! Thank you so much 👍😉 just ordered BA Amex express premium plus card,We’re family of 4 too 👍

[@TheHumblePenny]

Amazing! 😊. Please share with others

[@edy2212]

Yes, brilliant companion vouchers from Amex. We have done it twice with first class to Dubai and the US. A real treat. Absolutely agree that the full payment must be paid monthly

[@TheHumblePenny]

Thanks for sharing, Edy! 👊🏾

I just got British Airways Amex purely for the points of course! I have 3 return flights to Cyprus to book, so this video came at the right time!

My only criticism would be that by using a card over cash is that on average you spend 15% more when using a credit card…you remove the emotion out of the transaction (it doesn’t feel like real money). The second criticism being Avios point flights only seem to offer the most obnoxious flight patterns and flight times known to man with exceptionally long lay overs. We found using the points to upgrade on existing tickets was a much better use of the points. Love your videos 🙂

[@TheHumblePenny]

Thanks so much for sharing. You're 100% spot on about spending more on average with a Credit Card vs cash. It's for this same reason too that when people buy cars on Finance, they spend far more than if they paid cash for it. Good point. Also, great point about flight patterns. Interesting tip on upgrading on existing tickets too. Thanks for watching and supporting :)

Love the 2-4-1 voucher from Amex. Unfortunately combining vouchers that are issued after 1st September is no longer possible. The voucher holder had to fly and only one voucher can be used. As you and Mary have a voucher each, I see how it would still work for sure, both take a child and you are all good :-)

Hey Dave, thanks for contributing here. We appreciate it :)

[@TheMckinsons]

Great tips. Something I will keep in mind!

[@TheHumblePenny]

For sure :). Keep us posted

[@TomSharples]

Great video Im planning on converting my AMEX gold card points into Avios and this video really helped in making my decision weather to go with the blue or black card :)

[@TheHumblePenny]

NICE! Cheers, Tom :)

[@ChocolateSho]

Great video! I will definitely be getting one

[@TheHumblePenny]

Fab! 😀 Feel free to use our referral link (which doesn't cost you anything more): thehumblepenny.com/AMEX . We both get Avios points.

[@lewist4271]

Your research is correct about the free blue card - just checked my free companion voucher and the only option to me is Economy.

[@TheHumblePenny]

Thanks for confirming 👍🏽

[@MrLeft11]

I planned to get one at the end of the year it’s a shame the blue one no longer does business class. I’ve never really liked the idea of paying for bank accounts and credit cards.

[@TheHumblePenny]

I hear you 💯. But do what works for you. We've just upgraded our Blue one to the Premium grey one just 'cos we see value in doing that for our situation. But yes, it's a real shame that the Blue one no longer does Business Class.

[@lolopolo76]

Great video! Are there any cards in the U.K. that help with points for things like Emirates or Hilton hotels that you know of? Thank you!

[@TheHumblePenny]

Great question. Let's come back to you on this.

[@ps7165]

any reason you get one of each, why not two of the premium cards?

[@TheHumblePenny]

No specific reason. We started with the free one and then after a while, got the premium one.

[@ganglittle8412]

I have a companion voucher, but can’t seem to find any flight going to Thailand 😩 been trying for a year now

[@TheHumblePenny]

Oh no! New seats could be released this month. We're looking too

[@lombokprivatetripofficial]

Watch this holiday video. I'm so happy Greetings from tourism actors in Lombok ... but I'm sad that activities are still bamned and hopefully when you can vacation in lombok. Yes, but if you can, find out about Lombok through videos. and give input for my progress.thanks

[@TheHumblePenny]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@meedayslays]

Thank you for this. If your credit limit is quite low as a new immigrant, can you still make huge purchases on the card without hurting your credit score (say i want to get some furniture and other things and I have the cash handy, can I pay with the card even though it’s way above my limit and repay later without a negative impact on my credit score or do I link my debit card and pay with it to get the points)

[@TheHumblePenny]

You can pay with your card but make sure you pay it off without fail at the end of the month. Feel free to use our link: thehumblepenny.com/AMEX

[@mycrushesandall]

Hi Ken & Mary! For the premium card, is it charged monthly? Or is it a £250 lump sum? Many thanks for your videos they are really helpful!

[@TheHumblePenny]

Hey! :). It is charged in one go as £250 about 1 - 2 months or so after you join. Please feel free to use our referral link at no extra cost to you thehumblepenny.com/AMEX . We both get Avios points as a result :)

[@mycrushesandall]

Thank you for your response! I might go for the free one and look at upgrading at a later stage. Thanks for the referal link!

[@mycrushesandall]

Do you have a link for the blue one?

[@lockys96]

I take it you have to book on 2 accounts with kids allocated to each voucher and hop that once on is confirmed the other one goes through, or if you have a household account, can you book both vouchers at the same time given each voucher is from 2 executive accounts ?

[@TheHumblePenny]

The latter.
