great video Sebby, can you do a review of Penfed? they have a cc that has the annual fee waived for all veterans! first card that i know doing that!

First. You’re a fucking genius. Second. Please take this down. Patreon sounds perfect.

[@huntman777]

unless you travel to and from Canada enough, this card is not of much value correct?

[@2808Heavy]

Oh how EVERYONE uses the word GAME CHANGER. From the Freedom Flex to the Venture X and now this card...everything is a GAME CHANGER. LOL! :)

Lol I guess that's why he put a ? After game changer

[@oregondork]

For a no AF card, the freedom flex is a great card but definitely not a “Game changer”. It already existed under the “Freedom” card. Still loving my chase trifecta though!

[@lucasderman4704]

As a Canadian, this absolutely infuriates me that Americans are getting incredible cards for CANADIAN AIRLINES like this for $95......with huge bonuses and even status. It's legit a joke at this point and our Canadian card market just fuckn sucks. Aeroplan knows 99% of Americans who get this card won't ever fly air canada so they getting status doesn't really matter but like what the fuck

Use the Venture or Venture X to buy discounted Aeroplan points at 2X. Transfer your Capital One miles to Aeroplan. Use the pooled Aeroplan miles to book discounted flights. Minimum bonus points Air Canada gives you for buying Aeroplan points is 45% extra points. Aeroplan points are worth 1.7X to 1.9X. When you buy them with a Capital One 2X card and do the math you're going to end up getting 15X. What's the best Chase card? Chase Aeroplan MC 3X Groceries Aero Miles 3X Dining/Del Aero Miles 3X Air Canada Aero Miles 1X Everything Else Full travel and purchase protections 70,000 Chase UR pts welcome bonus No Foreign Transaction Fees $99 Annual Fee

[@td000]

15x? How

[@Kevinluuu]

I fly to Canada monthly, just got approved! leaving that 5/24 slot open was totally the move...

[@KevinYang]

Air Canada and Aeroplan really hitting home runs with their program revamp + new US card!

[@paavanmehta]

The pay yourself back feature is cool- though limited to 50000 points. For me not worth it paying another annual fee and fumbling around with another points currency when I only travel 3-4x per year

[@JoseFernandez-wu8pj]

I wish my Alaska airlines credit card had that point categories and that signe up bonuses ohhhhh and that PYB FEATURE.

[@anniehsu7667]

Can you get the sign on bonus if you already hold a chase card (csr, csp) and had the sign on bonus within the last 48 months?

[@jm4020]

Awesome breakdown. Definitely will have to watch more than once.

[@jiajianhou426]

I have 510k Aeroplan points. If I get this card, and Venture X, I will have effectively 710K aeroplan points. Too bad I can’t spend $14k in time lol.

[@ChristopherWalkenPUA]

Hmmm guess this might be good to combine with MR or UR points for ANA around the world?

[@Ipaymytaxes]

SEBBY! I have been binge watching your videos I love them! Is there any way you can theoretically calculate how much money I could save over the next 13 years with the gold and plat amex cards. I am also military. I spend $5,000 a year on groceries, $5,000 on dining, I fly to New York and Brazil once a year (from Texas) and use a lounge for every departure.

[@dariosanchez7699]

Hi Sebby, I'm really at a loss here in terms of this card. On the one hand, two travel certificates sound amazing. But when I look to theoretically book tickets from the USA to Asia or Europe, each of the prices comes out to about 50K to 55K points one way. It seems really odd as United has these flights for 38.5K, which seems like such a deal. It just gives me the impression that maybe the Air Canada points are a bit inflated compared to United? In terms of the certificates they would be valuable still but wouldn't it be better to get a different airline card instead like Iberia which gives you the points? I keep going back and forth on whether or not I should apply lol. So tough. Help me great Sebby God! PS Question (Why does United sometimes jump from 38.5K Miles one day and then 250K miles the next? Their pricing is really weird.)

[@MM-xx7xe]

For your PS Question, it is because of "Dynamic Pricing".

[@jacobphillips1527]

Pretty cool if this card effectively gives a cash out floor of 1.25 for Chase UR and Amex MR

[@MarkReese]

Back to watch this for a 3rd time 😁👊 Crazy cool how this card could be a way to cash out Aeroplan miles from other programs that have Air Canada as a transfer partner 😮 ✈️💵 All benefits considered, this may be one of the best airline credit cards ever launched.

[@dariosanchez7699]

But the thing I have trouble understanding is that it seems the bang for your buck on the points is less than other airlines. United seems to give better returns. Maybe it is better instead to have a credit card that gives points with better redemption rates? I'm really on the fence on this card although I really want it.

[@MarkReese]

@@dariosanchez7699 - Most air miles have variable rates, which is why we talk about them in terms of average values. You might get 0.8¢ per United mile on one itinerary, but might achieve 2.2¢ per United mile on another. Since there's no set value, it's based on the itinerary you build, the alliance partners involved, seasonality, cabin / class, and more.

[@evill_toro]

Hey Mark! Would you recommend this card for travel to Spain? I do not stay at hotels if that helps. I am also under 5/24 rules

[@CalrosACJ55]

Could you please cover what someone starting from college should do? 🙏🏽 Should i go for a student card if I’ve never even had an SSN or any type of history until junior year of college (as an international), or will I automatically be denied? In that case, should I do a secured card, or should I find a card to be a authorized user on? I already got denied for the deserve edu twice, and I am not sure why, but I am getting a job soon, along with a SSN and I don’t know what I should do. If I do go for a student card, should I go for the freedom student? Is it worth it to increase my chances for a freedom flex/unlimited as a next stop given my situation^? Will I even be approved for the chase freedom student? I’ve had a chase student checking and student savings account for 2 years, does that change anything? Lastly, is there a starter card you recommend that I have better chances of getting approved for given my situation? Also, would the chase freedom student card block me from getting other important chase intro bonuses??

[@JohnnyBrasco81]

Aeroplan mamber for years, its my #1 flight partner. So this is very exciting!!!

[@fogrunr5075]

You know how when you're shopping for something, and you want to make the best decisions so you tend to try and want to know everything before you make the decision? You completely solve that problem because when we watch your videos we know we've learned everything possible to learn about the topic! Thank you Sebby Sensei!

[@therealjulian22]

How do you go about accumulating points in a position like yours since you already have all credit cards pretty much. I’m assuming you aren’t able to get sign on bonuses so is it only from spending at this point?

[@junxianwu1598]

my application is still under review, hopefully it will get approve

[@SniperinShadow]

[@AnshShah1]

Wow that is some pretty good analysis. I totally brushed off this card at first but pyb angle is rather interesting.

[@siamesebb]

This is definitely a game changer for airline cards.

[@fogrunr5075]

Aeroplan is an X-factor. Just like SavorOne was underestimated, so too this Aeroplan card.

[@royalkingaces]

Would transferring points from both CSR that I'm soon going to be downgrading from and the Venture X after I get the bonus offer to Aeroplan be the move or one of the other airline programs that both partner with?

[@jparker1251]

I’m still really confused on how to book with other airlines using points. Say I get the card and have 85,000 points and I want to use on Etihad, do I call Etihad and have them deduct points from Aeroplan? If there’s a video on how to do this please send my way, I can’t seem to find. Is the process the same with Delta and other Skyteam airlines 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Kos115]

I've spent an inordinate amount of time trying to research this on my own and I'm not sure I know more than when I started

[@ahbichang]

My guess is it only works if you can book the partner airline online (i.e. If you can search and book the flight on air canada with aeroplan points). Probably won't work for partners that require you to call that partner to book.

[@jacobphillips1527]

I typed a detailed response but KZbin keeps deleting my comment? So.. in short version, no. Etihad would have no control over the aeroplane points. Some of Etihad’s flights would appear on aeroplane, and you would book online with aeroplane, or over the phone with aeroplane, to get that etihad flight.

[@leftwing831]

You don't mention the eupgrade certificates or how to use them. They can be used on pretty much any flight operated by Air Canada even points bookings and can get you from coach to business even on international flights (if you use like 10)

[@djm2official]

When i get the 25k status from chase Do i need to fly an extra 25k or 50k miles to reach the 50k status??

[@ahbichang]

Does the auto 25k status mean we get 20 eupgrades +5 additional from select privileges +10 for wait list bonus for a total of 35 eupgrades?? I hope so.

[@ItzRoe]

That PYB idea is genius. I barely use my MR points would love to cash them out.

[@PhilMo78]

Like the new wrinkles on this card. Debating between this and the Venture X, may just have to get both!

[@StormBringer-]

Do you have to use points for business or first class? What about anything else?

[@sfreply]

Is this card better then the Chase United Airlines Card ?

[@MajorFrank10]

Wonder if the new 5/24 rules apply

[@mrdisco99]

I would be shocked if the PYB on this card can be used on points transferred from that other issuer. But if it's true, there could be a gold rush for this card.

[@paavanmehta]

If you look at 3:18 - there is a maximum of 50,000 points per year so it’s not a crazy amount of points

[@stephen-finance]

A travel card giving flight certificates? Very interesting! Love to see something new. We'll see if it's worth it, or if they should've stuck to just giving points. Being able to give certs to others seems like a huge perk to this system! Thanks Sebby!

[@user-zh2cm4ur4n]

Looking for advice. I need to fly on United for flights within the US because I need to go to unholy places for work purposes. I plan to earn Aeroplan points on united flights. Is this possible to earn Status with Aeroplan even though I am mostly flying United? Thanks!

[@wshnus]

Hi Sebby, for the sign up bonus, I think you will get Aeroplan 25k elite status for the year you open the account as well as the following year. So the optimal strategy is to open it in January so you will have status until December 2023.

The fact that you can use PYB with travel costs here is interesting. So if you have the CSP, could you transfer points here and then use these points at 1.25 cpp? I hadn't thought about the MR to Aeroplan...I'll need to keep an eye out for this card.

[@miketimmerman6336]

If I am reading this right, I might now be able to transfer MR to Aeroplan, book Hyatt with Aeroplan, PYB at 1.25 cpp and also have 1 Aeroplan and 5+WoH points per $ instead of just transferring to Hyatt from UR. How would this not be a massive devaluation of the Chase system?

Hey Sebby, I'm rocking an AMEX Gold and CFU right now. I'm saving points solely for an aspirational trip in a couple years, would you recommend getting this over a CSP right now, since its SUB just got lowered? I would only get the Aeroplan for now, then wait for a better SUB for the CSP before I branch out after I hit 5/24. Thanks!
