I like your music, but I find it distracting while you're talking. Any chance on turning down the music while you talk?

[@beaunoonan510]

That’s a good call out. I’ll see if I can lower it for the next one. Appreciate the feedback!

Setting up my personalized cashback Monitor this weekend. Thanks for the reminder. Great Video Beau!

[@beaunoonan510]

Haha awesome. Did you think the music was too loud?

[@germananditravels]

Great video and cool to also see someone in this space from Tampa Bay! AA miles do have some really good value, but damn they made it hard to get basic status, took several flights, even with one being round-trip from Tampa to Auckland/Sydney wasn't enough 😩

[@beaunoonan510]

You can pretty much get Gold status if you have the AA Citi Executive card..cheaper than spending your way to Gold status for sure. Are you a Tampa native?

[@germananditravels]

@beaunoonan510 nice! I think if I do go for status again on AA, that might be my path as well then. Yep, grew up in the area, a bit boring sometimes haha, but great place to live

[@jimmyjames6492]

Thanks for the info + video!

[@beaunoonan510]

You bet! More in depth AA earning vid in the works

[@OfficialChadsMoneyMinutes]

This was a great video and super valuable for my strategy going forward with AA!

[@beaunoonan510]

Glad you found some value!

[@seankennedy5437]

Clarifying question: Let's say you have the Citi AAdvantage Executive Credit Card and purchase a flight using that card, you get 4x miles on the purchase. Does that also mean you get 4x Loyalty Points? I've heard conflicting answers online and it makes a huge difference in deciding whether or not the card is worth it.

[@beaunoonan510]

Appreciate the question. For every eligible mile you earn, you’ll also earn a LP, regardless of the card. So for a flight, 4x miles would mean 4x lp’s. Keep in mind you earn more miles/LP’s based on your level of status. On top of that, you earn 1 loyalty point per dollar spent on the card, plus the lp bonuses for hitting 50k and 90k lp’s. Also additional 5x+ for AAdvantage hotels for having the credit card.

[@lonestarsg5939]

You sure that’s true? I thought it is tied to $ amount…I.e., $1 spent on the credit card you earn 1LP, so 4x will get you 4 miles but 1 LP still

[@BoywithLoveeee]

I’m in the fence on getting the advantage card even though I don’t really fly with American Airlines. Their redemption is so good when booking with miles for instance if I book with miles on Hawaiian it cost 130k miles or 65k miles (when they have promotions) on international flights whereas if I book it through American Airlines it only cost 52k miles and same cash tax.

[@beaunoonan510]

Yea even if you don’t fly with AA often, you can use eshopping and AA hotels to earn a pretty good chunk of miles to hit a sign up bonus and continue to earn miles. I get tremendous value for redemptions also

[@benjaminkalish8660]

This was a great summary video. I just saw that AAdvantage is changing their travel policy where you can only earn miles and loyalty points when you book with certain travel agencies. Great if you book your own travel, but puts a real dent on corporate travel. Am i misreading this new policy? What are your thoughts?

[@beaunoonan510]

Thanks for watching! I think it will limit earning for basic economy tickets, but we’ll see what they release in April. AA miles continue to get more valuable - can’t say the same for Delta and United.

[@5DquantumSolutions]

Thanks for the video! Love AA

[@beaunoonan510]

Thanks for watching! More in depth video coming soon!

[@rosai27]

Hi! Great video , can you please do a video on how to book flights and get points ? I’m so lost I just booked a flight but I’m not sure if I’m suppose to use advantage number or just my card to get the perks? I’m traveling to California and just open the card and don’t understand how to get my free check in luggage , can you please help

[@beaunoonan510]

Hi - if you have a card that gets you free checked bags, your AA # needs to be in your credit card account profile and you’ll be all set.

[@yourstrulyanna5178]

Omg what an intro 😂 so negative. Had me thinking, why do I want to fly anywhere 😂😂

[@beaunoonan510]

It’s not about flying..it’s about flying ‘in style’! Thanks for watching.

[@CallMeLani]

I assume AA is you're go-to airline?

[@beaunoonan510]

@CallMeLani - for now, yes. I still fly Delta 5-6 times a year

[@AA-pi5ui]

Your music is way too loud

[@beaunoonan510]

Appreciate the feedback

[@merciaguerra9507]

10X on hotel is fantastic but I am conflicted booking Hilton via AA portal bc I am Gold member at Hilton and I think I lose my benefits by booking via AA portal? Or is that a way to double dipping earn pts at Hilton and earn points with AA 😂

[@beaunoonan510]

I don’t think you can double dip. I hear of people calling to leverage their status or mentioning it upon check in, but if I’m booking a nice Marriott , I’m going thru Marriott to get my status

[@merciaguerra9507]

@@beaunoonan510 yeah I don’t think double dipping is possible but at they could accommodate the free breakfast or dinning credit I have as a Gold member benefits - is this reasonable?

[@donstevens3888]

I couldn't get pass the first 2 minutes... The background music makes this video unwatchable.

[@beaunoonan510]
