Video Discription |
In this video I'll walk you through how I to spent over 1 million miles and points! The retail value of the travel was $80,000 but I only have to spend less than $900 out of pocket. These miles and points were a tremendous help to support my long distance relationship.
Travel Hacking:
To get started simply open a credit card that earns you miles or points. I recommend the Chase Sapphire Preferred for 100,000 sign up bonus. Once you have the points, decide how you want to travel, 1 luxurious trip or multiple trips a year?
Value of Points & Miles
The value of is calculates as a the cents per point (CCP). CCP = (Retail Cash Value of Ticket)/(Amount of Miles or Points Used to Book)
Rule of Thumb $0.10 CCP or 1CCP is a good base line measure. If you get over 1CCP then you are winning!
