How Big Spenders Think About Points with Devon Gimbel | Ep 144

(Disclaimer: Click 'more' to see ad disclosure) Hey there, points people! Today, I'm talking with Devon Gimbel from Point Me To First Class. Devon is the founder of Point Me To First Class, which assists employed professionals, entrepreneurs, and business owners to earn credit card points and travel luxuriously. She focuses on how you can use your expenses to your advantage. Devon's aim is to transform first-class travel and help women travel more, travel better, and travel often using credit card points. In this episode, we talk about how high-income earners can effectively leverage points and miles to travel, discuss the barriers that prevent people from getting into the points game, strategies for earning points sustainably, and how to prioritize time and resources. Devon and I discuss how to maximize your credit card rewards beyond sign-up bonuses by taking advantage of category bonuses and non-bonus spend categories. If you want to maximize your credit card rewards, consider the Chase Ink Business Cash card, which gets 5x points on internet, cable, phone, and office supply store purchases. Remember, if you decide to apply for the Chase Ink Business Cash or any other card, never apply directly through Google – always use a friend or creator’s referral link.

Today, I'm talking with Andrea and Carlos from @Endeuda2_ Andrea and Carlos create content to help Hispanics and Latinos manage their finances better - from having a better relationship with money, optimizing savings and investing, all the way to travel hacking. They’ve been in the credit card points game for more than 8 years, but it was 3 years ago that they got hooked with travel hacking and never looked back. They’ve traveled to France, Spain, Netherlands, Portugal, Disney World, The Florida Keys, and a 8-night Virgin cruise thanks to travel hacking. In this episode, Andrea, Carlos, and I talk about their mission to teach personal finance in Spanish, how to book a Virgin Voyages cruise using points, and what the onboard experience is like. Andrea and Carlos transferred Capital One miles to Virgin to book their cruise, and you can do the same with the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card.

Demystifying Airline Alliances with Chris Hassan | Ep 139

(Disclaimer: Click 'more' to see ad disclosure) Hey there, points people! Today, I’m talking with Chris Hassan of (@chrisdhassan), a Family travel writer from Upgraded Points (@upgradedpoints), about using airline partnerships to get the best points deals on flights. We dive deep into using Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, and Turkish Airlines miles to book domestic flights in the US and international business class on various airlines. Chris worked in hotels and the hospitality industry for years before switching to the other side of the front desk and sharing travel tips and tricks. He is from Boston but now lives in Rio de Janeiro with his wife and 2 kids, so traveling back and forth between Brazil and the U.S. with his family is a common commute for him and his family. Besides visiting family, Chris makes sure that showing his kids new parts of the world is part of their education and uses points and miles to get them there. His kids have been on hundreds of flights including economy, business, and international first class and he is a firm believer that kids belong up front! The best way to get access to a variety of airline miles is to use a card that earns transferable points. One option is the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card, which transfers to all of the airlines I just mentioned! If you're thinking of applying for the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card or any other card, don't apply directly through Google – use a friend's referral link! And if you need help figuring out which card is right for you, check out geobreezetravel.com/cards for free credit card consultations. ➤ Access the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card HERE ➤ Want to learn how to earn more points without needing to open up more credit cards?
