Travel Hacking Success Story: Exploring Indy & Zeigler on Points & Miles!

[@CreditOneSux]

The Dugroz Breakdown! The USB AR realtime rewards feature definitely looks clutch! 👀

[@DugrozReports]

Pretty Clutch!!!

[@JonsCreditAndTravel]

Love the breakdown Doug. I do not wash any rental vehicles and have never been charged by them to wash off the mass bug murders I have committed in my life thus far.

[@DugrozReports]

Thanks Jon! Yeah, I debated it. I was probably just being paranoid!!! 😅😅😅🚗

[@JonsCreditAndTravel]

I totally understand. I get it. Always cringe at getting some stupid unexpected $200 fee for something. Right there with you. Just giving you a personal DP.

[@DugrozReports]

Thx!

[@LK_EBM]

These are great data points! Especially about the Hilton gift card and split payment!

[@DugrozReports]

Thanks EBM! Yes, I’m considering doing a standalone video on the Hilton gift card, split payment, pay with points, hack!

[@baliztik]

[@seand99x]

Hey Doug great video! I never wash the rental car. They already charge enough for the car LOL

[@DugrozReports]

100%! Thanks Carlos!

[@oaklandtoindy]

Yeah that Mcdonalds on 16th and Meridian is pretty bad. They've even been shut down by the health dept.

[@DugrozReports]

Ouch. Certainly not a surprise!!!!

[@21socc]

If I wanted to ask a few questions thats pretty long and has a decent amount of math with it do you have an email?

[@DugrozReports]

Yeah, but not real keen on sharing my email here! I will get spammed!!! You can type it out, or, look me up on the Venture Discord.

[@MuscleB3ach]

Why call it a rip trip? I get the acronym though

[@DugrozReports]

It's kind of lame, but now all my followers are familiar with it, so I just roll with it!

[@alexchen7729]

I thought it was called a RIP trip because if you go on too many solo trips then your wife is going to kill you.

[@DugrozReports]

Ha! Good theory!!!! LOL

[@robertjarrell7276]

Could you please explain how the $300 overage on rental car preauthorizatuon worked? So the credit triggered for $300 more than you were actually charged. Did the $300 appear as a statement credit on your USBAR account? Were you able to cash it out, or did you just charge against it?

[@DugrozReports]

A statement credit for $516 appeared on my account when I used real time rewards. Later, the provisional charge from enterprise of $516 dropped off, and a new charge of $216 appeared on my account. Thus, affectively I redeemed real time rewards at 1.5 cents each for $300 more than I actually spent. Does that help?

[@DugrozReports]

And yes, I had enough spending on the card that it just offset other things.

[@robertjarrell7276]

@@DugrozReports Thanks! I haven’t actually redeemed any of my real time rewards yet so I wasn’t sure how it would work in this instance

[@DugrozReports]

Anytime! 👍👍👍

[@CesarJoel]
