‘Points Guy’ Explains How To Get The Most Value On Airline Tickets, Flyer Miles | Megyn Kelly TODAY

[@youbetterwatchout4400]

At 4:32, I can attest to that. I was nice to the flight attendant that was dealing with angry passengers because our JetBlue flight was cancelled and I got vouchers + $350 in credits. Always be nice.

There is a way to get the best value from your points, miles, or even hotel rewards. C•R gives you the best dollar value more than the issuer does, the value is 2-3x of the dollar value you normally get. Why not trade your points, miles, or hotel rewards today for a better dollar value than most portals offer.

[@onkelreisendemac4864]

I like the tips he mention at 3:37 into the film, because that saved me a big hassle today :)

[@ancomlibra]

ive used the "they changed my flight my 5 mins and that doesn't work for me, gotta change my ticket to the day after!" loophole to extend trips to see my partner (LDR) so many times. i always take that bet and it always works 😂

[@NahomisChannel]

Let him talk sheesh

[@marbury77]

why am I only watching this in 2019! Could have saved so much more money....

[@rosemaryyy5844]

2022 🥴🫣

[@user-cp2gu9po8y]

Thanks for this video! Very informative! I was here after watching James Asquith's video explaining the Frequent Flyer Loyalty Programmes. Your video gave me more insight on the pros and compare it with some cons as well. Good luck on your next video! :)

[@djetfire123]

Watched this in 2020.. learned so much.

[@faintmidnight24]

He was spitting so much facts but it sounded like it was too difficult for ex fox news... i like megan kelly too.

[@bumble8588]

I wish she would just let HIM talk, HE is the expert, HE knows what we need to know for travelling

[@maxinechivers1312]

I live in England and we have British Airways which is has tax saving for European destinations. It has loads of tax for its long haul flights. We recommend the Irish airline called Are Lingus to fly with points between Dublin and New York. I book Norwegian fights and it is cheaper to book on the Norwegian site. I will do this next time.

[@TysonIke]

If the flight schedule is moved 5 minutes you won’t get a refund. It’s written in their terms that they can do that

[@ryanmarsh4536]

hey i have 125k amex reward points and am looking to fly busines class literally anywhere! I was thinking somewhere in south america or maybe eourpe any suggestions on how to utilize my points to do this!? thanks

[@ShawnLH88]

amex website has their own travel website under the account page and click the BENEFITS tab...but be sure to compare amex travel booking to other sites like kayak or directly through the airline...prices vary

[@WHERESSS]

@@ShawnLH88 worst advice. You won't get lie flat business class long haul for 125k by booking through any of the days you mentioned. You can go to Tokyo or Seoul or Shanghai in business class for 85k-95k points by transferring your Amex MR to ANA. Rountrip in business on ANA 12 hours each way for 85k Amex points. It's a steal given the product. You can do it just for the experience, which it sounds like what you want.... There are better hard products you can book with Amex MR, but they are more expensive.

[@LifeTailored]

Ryan, I fly to Europe all the time on Singapore Suites Class (the private bed in the sky). It's 76k miles from JFK -> FRA (Frankfurt). Once in Frankfurt you can buy a $200 ticket anywhere in Europe. Transfer poitns from MR to SingaporeAir and look for Saver availability

Thank u the Points Guy! 👍

[@WillLundyMusic]

Wow. Definitely the loudest start to any video I’ve ever viewed on the toilet.

[@xHumanoid55]

It’s my dream to work for this guy. The passion Brian has about the subject just reaffirms my love for travel and seeing the world and trying to pursue this avenue.

[@LifeTailored]

Do you have a travel hacking blog/vlog? Great way to get Brian's attention

[@avtweet3269]

TPG MY MAN

[@adamausaw1573]

Lol the points guy ended up providing more daytime entertainment than Megyn Kelly managed in her entire NBC tenure. What a waste of money, send her back to Fox News.

[@mrbear1302]

Watch the credit card you use booking on foreign websites. There can be currency exchange and international usage fees!!!!!

[@vacationboyvideos]

mrbear1302 use credit card worth zero % forien transaction fees

[@LifeTailored]

Most travel cards have 0% transaction fees, and another tip is to always pay in their currency. ie in Europe, you should pay in Euros and not ask them to convert them to USD as this is another hidden charge

[@Slb5988]

He didn’t mention he saved 70k because of his referrals he has cashed in don’t fool consumers

[@kingzts]

Uh I have over a million points with chase. 300k at Amex and 200k with Marriott. It’s easy. No referrals needed.

Highspeed bullet trains and maglev super train technology, the new american dream..

[@wing61305]

Asia Miles was pesky in giving miles. I had six flights and zero mile was given. I heard British Airways let many points expire even during the pandemic.

[@vancourverite7779]

i find that the more i travel abroad the more i learn how other countries dislike Americans ... really sad.

[@LifeTailored]

I've actually found the opposite. Most countries I've visited, they're fascinated with America. Just look at the proliferation of Mcdonalds, Starbucks and all these awful chains that other countries eat up

[@who9387]

T L - Perhaps you should ask yourself why that is.

[@GoBIGclan]

@@LifeTailored Yeah same, most places I've been to people love America lol

[@ktowniecity7269]

What? Asian countries love the USA! Even Vietnam that has invaded by Americans. Everyone wants to move to the US and wear yankee caps with American flags on their shirts

Are the cheapest flights the best. Isn't that how all the crazies fly that get the flight delayed or worse.

Can’t switch my computer language back from Spanish

[@GoBIGclan]

Deberías intentar abrir una nueva página en 'Modo incógnito'. Estará en inglés. ¡Dime si esto ayuda!

[@maragrace820]

so valuable that Delta is no longer giving them for economy. Economy Delta flight Atlanta-Rome $2,300 ($1,900 for 1 stop flight) NO CHECKIN BAG, NO MILES. Lufthansa Atlanta - Rome, 1 stop $928 miles and check in bag. I am done with Delta even if I am in Atlanta. Shame on you Delta

[@margaretbrown4307]

Unbelievable On

[@jacobq.s1338]

The crowd is hired. They are acting very unnatural. Like noding their heads to meaningless things.

[@juju10683]

they aren't hired they are just following instructions

[@BIGDAVE5352]

I like how Megan crosses her legs to hide the bulge from the huge pad she is wearing. Lol!
