[@soapa4279]

Are you Diddy?

[@mingyuwang6638]

We definitely need the whole process of how to find reward ticket

[@boysherman]

Anytime Seby says “Bora Bora” everyone takes a shot!

[@tooeasy4217]

I'm on my 5th bottle 😂

[@MrHawaiiboy510]

Appreciate the honesty. It’s good to let us know what is good and what is not good. It feels like a lot of people just say everything is good. Thanks for keeping it real

[@AskSebby]

Thank you! :)

[@JazzyMarineVet]

It's such a joy to watch you and your partner travel the world and share it with others. Your information is well worth the 12 to 15 minute videos and more. Thank you for your great content the laughter the quirky things it's easy to watch your videos from start to finish. Hey Mandy 🥥🥥

[@AskSebby]

Thank you! 😃

[@mcr754]

again, thanks much sebby!! agree that points, redemptions, how to find bookings for airlines/hotels is drier that your usual content, but i think we are all eagerly awaiting a video from you on this!!

[@AskSebby]

Thanks! Will work it into the content in the future.

[@pezdacandyboi]

🥥 Definitely a redemption video! I find everytime I want to use points for travel I can never find award space and end up just booking economy cash. Even after reading other blogs, it's so hard to find any availability

[@dirtydanimal9552]

🥥 thank you for the video! please bless us with a video on your airline point redemption method

[@Fridge56Vet]

🥥 1.) Biz: Delta Reserve Biz, Ink Unlimited, Ink Preferred, AmEx Biz Gold (temporary). Personal: BP Visa (gas, groceries, dining), Fidelity Visa (2% catch-all), Delta Platinum. 2.) 10th Anniversary last week. Wife got ice. 3.) Siesta Key w/the fam in Feb. Hopefully more soon!

[@EMR004R]

🥥. Great what's in my wallet video. Appreciate how you relate your credit cards to real world experiences. Have a fun filled luxury travel holiday season my guy.

[@christopherpinder6379]

1:30 I’m a chef and have used the 5030 in two different restaurants. Great machine!

[@T2DKaren]

I’m heading to an all inclusive in Cancun soon! Yay! Any thoughts on how to find an all inclusive cheap in Europe with slides and fun things to do? Beach is great but need some fun. Love your videos! I am always waiting for your next episode 😊

[@bigggdawg5599]

Hi Sebby. Great video. I use the Amex Blue Business Plus which gets 2x on all charges upto 50K. Then if you transfer that to Hilton using Amex MR points, you get 2x again. So its 4X overall versus 3X on the Aspire. For large property tax payments, the difference can be big or as you would say 'well worth the squeeze'. I am sure you know this, so its for those who don't.

[@AMo23486]

🥥 Great video. We flew Air France premium economy to Paris and we felt that was great for our redemption point about 35k points for each. Flew standard KLM economy on the way back and it is a big difference. Using my Chase Freedom and IHG cards and not sure what my next card is yet. My player 2 just grabbed the elevated Delta Gold so we are working on that.

[@ChristopherWalkenPUA]

I got tired of the Amex gold coupon book.

[@seanwang0621]

🥥! What do you think about the capital one duo with the new savor card? Is it worth keeping?

[@AskSebby]

It's the same SavorOne, just rebranded to "Savor." Worth keeping if you already have it.

[@davidakobia3268]

Which card would you recommend to have along with CSR to get more points on gas and groceries?

[@SuperSonicBaroque]

🥥Please do the redemption post! What’s the procedure/steps to use the 85k certificate and top off? I have AmEx Gold, CSP, and World of Hyatt cards

[@sampatel7225]

Please let me know how you booked the flights with points. I’m planning a trip with my wife to Bora Bora. Thanks

[@tumbleweed1976]

A lot of AMEX. Thank you for sharing.

[@henrymatos9551]

Great review Sebby! Great trip reviews! Bora Bora looks like a place to go and relax. Swimming with the whales must of been amazing! In terms of Black Friday sales, looking for some clothing deals in conjunction with the credit card market place for shopping as after Christmas sales have been lousy last few years I noticed.

[@DansPointsandTravel]

🥥 how many Aspires and Surpasses do you have between the two of you? Thinking about getting a 2nd aspire but I don’t think it’s worth it as it would only be for the free night and airline credit since we don’t stay at resorts often. 2 surpasses and one aspire might be better to get that other FNA on $15k spend instead of paying $550 AF and not using the credits. Thoughts?

[@JohnHeng]

🥥 for having two reservations at a hotel for multiple tries at upgrades, do they let you stay in the same room if they don't upgrade you? and what about the reverse? the first reservation is upgraded but the second isn't.

[@AskSebby]

No, the first room was already accounted for so we wouldn't have stayed regardless. If you want to stay in the same room, let the hotel know ahead of time that you have two reservations.

[@gbouton2011]

What are you thinking for an alternative(s) for the gold card ?

[@nishankamin]

Go for the Ninja Creami. Much better option.

[@margaretcarter4589]

🥥 I would like to see the whole booking process. Thanks.

[@NicksDynasty]

🥥 Amex Platinum, CSP, Hyatt Biz, Ink Unlimited (waiting for my reg Hyatt replacement) E-Bike purchase coming soon Heading to Frankfort now and DC next month

[@sdouglas5879]

Where did you stay in Tahiti? And what company did you use to go whale watching? We are wanting to do this for our 25th and then stay at the st Regis. And thank you for your videos. I’ve been waiting for the Westin one.

[@AskSebby]

Covered on Mandy's channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ7XYXV3abmGnq8 I'm still ~ 1 month behind on my content 😅

[@bbutler2783]

Can you explain (or is there a video) about how you got the upgrade by booking two reservations?

[@MrHawaiiboy510]

What does it mean to reposition?

[@chrishagins3309]

When did the Amex gold AF go up to $325?

[@obertchu]

I bought the 4080 in 2016. I like it. All metal parts. Have not used it much in a couple of years. Need to see if the freon is still good. I only made chocolate ice cream with it.

[@crecasens]

I stayed at the Li Meridian way back in the day when I was young and broke but had Starwood points so I got it for like $15 or $20 a day. So I was more than satisfied lol 🥥

[@EricBurcham27]

🥥 I finally subbed Mrs Sebbys channel and my wife and I watched 2 videos. We liked them Great Channel!

[@AskSebby]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@kevinliu8668]

LOL at the flight was fine and food was okay. 🥥

[@gonzalorojo6815]

loving the content over the past year man, would be awesome if you did a meet up in sf

[@danny_hernanzalez]

For the AMEX Gold Dunkin credit, you can just load it to a digital gift card and it will still count

[@moss-x]

Which wallet is that in the thumbnail?

[@shenchu2441]

🥥 I would love to see video tutorials for point redemptions!

[@andrewmaxon9125]

🥥 Sapphire Reserve, AA, Southwest Business & Regular. 1+ is going to go the alaska route with Hawaii for 4 bonus offers. Paris on United miles, Portugal this summer and New Zealand Xmas 2025

[@LeftCoastPhil]

Please do a video walking through the redemption process. I’m good for hotels, but I still have trouble finding flights. I was able to find five nights at the Waldorf in Cabo in January on points. Probably my biggest redemption yet.

[@treyavey5219]

What are your thoughts of Westin bora bora versus The Conrad?

[@AskSebby]

Conrad is in the luxury brand tier and Westin is a premium brand. Set your expectations accordingly.

[@eridium]

Sebby I stayed at the Westin Bora Bora based on your email availability heads up. Thanks for that. Would like it if you made an overview for Maldives, similar to what you two have done for Bora. As for Black Friday wishlist: M4 Mac Mini and Dyson products

[@AskSebby]

Awesome! Glad you were able to book it :)

[@Solace_Kagenou]

🥥 I think it'd be awesome if you can do a video os the Delta one lunge at JFK and LAX since many say it's better then any lounge.

[@AskSebby]

On my list to visit!

[@MyPassportMyLife]

🥥 I have the AMEX Platinum, Citi Strata Premier, IHG Premier, Quicksilver and a couple of other non important cards from a long time ago. I'm going to Europe for Christmas and New Year's with my daughters.

[@RSquared-travel-rewards]

Is that what's in your wallet or is it your full arsenal or cards that you've acquired to date? Enjoy Europe!!

[@MyPassportMyLife]

@RSquared-travel-rewards That's just what's in my wallet. Thanks! I'm looking forward to taking my girls over there.

[@FrequentFlyer_MIA]

To the smoooooovist voice in the credit card game AskSebby

[@andrewmaxon9125]

I’ve been making a lot of ice cream lately with the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker White ICE-20. It’s only bout $100 and works great. Just freeze the bowl🍨

[@AskSebby]

Nice!

[@robertjarrell7276]

🥥 Five stars for Lovecraft and Cthulu! I'm recently retired and downsizing. Could you address this topic? When spend is low, rewards mean less, and minimum spends are harder to hit. Keeping my Schwab Platinum for benefits, may keep Gold because the benefits are also easy. Aspire is on the fence, maybe lose all Citi cards, keep Capital One Savor and Quicksilver for foreign spend, USBAR questionable. Thoughts?

[@AskSebby]

I would keep anything that's no annual fee. Depending on your travel plans, I'd probably consider rotating between premium cards - especially given the bonus clocks. i.e., maybe cancel Platinum and go for CSR / Venture X => etc. USBAR is ~breakeven but really depends on how much spend you're putting on the cards. Citi cards can be downgraded in most cases to Citi Custom Cash; so I'd probably do that.

[@robertjarrell7276]

@ I do go under 5/24 this month for the first time since 2019 and am thinking about picking up one of the Sapphires. I just downgraded my Venture X to Quicksilver since P2 has one. Thanks! Don't know if I can be pried away from my Platinum though.

[@RSquared-travel-rewards]

Fun video Sebby. Cool to show footage given that you're an elite traveler. Let's collab on a video, heading to Bangkok next week and of course, heading back to Africa in Q1 of next year. Let's compare notes. It makes perfect sense for someone with such a large audience to collab with someone with a tiny audience 🤣

[@DC_Consulting_DC]

I am relieved Amex offered me 100K to swap my old Gold for a new Platinum. Weekly Centurion visits alone pay the annual fee of $890.

[@johnny_ma]

🥥whats in my wallet is Aspire, Personal Gold, Business Gold, Personal Platinum and Wells Fargo Signify. Gardening 5/24 so have been gerting business cards for the SUBs since April

[@brentalbrecht]

🥥 would love to see a redemption video

[@thejokerspeaks]

🥥 2025 Plans: Destin FL, Savannah GA, Cabo San Lucas

[@iTzDritte]

🥥Give me the driest explanation of your redemption process 🙏

[@rich798]

Also sebby. Are you releasing a los Cabos pedregal review?

[@AskSebby]

Hopefully, in a few weeks! It's in the backlog to edit.

[@zunedog31]

I need to put about 12k on a card soon. Tried for Venture and was denied for too many cards. I'm at about 15 now, accumulated over the course of 7 or so years. It seems I am completely blocked out of Cap1. Seb, is there a point where you start to top out in this game? If so, how many cards do you think that is?

[@mingyuwang6638]

Lmao the ice cream machine was so random 😂😂😂

[@kellenmiller]

Walmart + gets you free paramount+ so it's like a second digital credit. Only reason I use that credit

[@Rowdyyy_rod]

🥥 how did you book your flights?

[@AskSebby]

Flew Alaska to Cabo. Booked Air Tahiti Nui via Alaska and Air France via Flying Blue.

[@AbdullahAsif-p8o]

Hey Sebby, would you be interested in hiring a thumbnail designer for your channel?

[@SAJ423]

[@comfortlivingbysabrina6065]

[@ascendantP]

Wow! $700 for an ice cream machine! Think about how much ice cream you would have to eat to break even. Unless you're opening up an ice cream store.

[@AskSebby]

Haha, that's why I haven't bought it yet! Looking to make "healthy" protein ice cream. My problem is buying "cheaper" models and then upgrading a few months or years later, which is how I ended up with 3 blenders 💀 I Figured I'd only cry once and buy the top-tier version.

[@kamkarter8821]

Sebby that is so much annual fee amount. In my wallet is CSP, Citi custom cash and AA platinum citi card. Cancun and Turks and Caicos are my upcoming trips.🥥

[@AskSebby]

I personally get a positive ROI on all the annual fees. Everyone's situation is different. Sounds like an awesome trip! :)

[@kamkarter8821]

Thanks so much
