How to Get 8 Business Class Flights for 125K Points with Max Do | Ep 15

(Disclaimer: Click 'more' to see ad disclosure)

Max from @maxmilespoints is known for creating some of the best graphics that break down points and miles concepts into easy-to-understand 10-slide Instagram posts. If you have ever thought that learning travel hacking was overwhelming and you're not even sure where to start, I highly recommend a visit to Max's Instagram page.

In this episode, Max and I discuss how he was able to fly to 8 destinations around the world in business class for only 125,000 points, which is basically 1 or 2 sign up bonuses. This amazing redemption also includes the story of Max's proposal to his wife at the Al Maha luxury desert resort in Dubai -- a hotel that typically goes for more than one thousand dollars per night! Everyone who's looking for proposal ideas, please grab a pen and take some notes. Maybe spend your next date night listening to this podcast with your significant other...

Max also talks about how your ability to travel hack is very much dependent on how much you know, and as you've heard me say before, the best way to effectively absorb a bunch of points and miles knowledge is to talk with others in the community. If you're interested in learning more about how to book incredible trips like Max's, please come join one of our Geobreeze Travel podcast off-air hangouts! We invite travel hackers of all expertise levels to hang out, ask questions, and offer advice with other points and miles enthusiasts!
