Savvy Ways to Buy Points for CHEAPER Travel
00:00:00.000 | I watched some points go on sale this year,
00:00:02.320 | and I realized there are a lot of different ways
00:00:04.960 | that you can get points
00:00:06.040 | than just by earning them on a credit card.
00:00:08.700 | For one, many airlines and hotel groups
00:00:10.920 | constantly have sales on points.
00:00:13.500 | For example, of my 12 favorite transfer partners
00:00:16.780 | from my credit cards,
00:00:18.100 | points go on sale for as low as 1.15 to 1.2 cents,
00:00:22.960 | and that's on Life Miles or Aeroplan,
00:00:25.160 | and on average across all the partners that sell points,
00:00:28.000 | they go on sale for about 1.5 cents per point.
00:00:30.920 | And depending on the partner,
00:00:32.100 | they go on sale as often as every one to three months.
00:00:36.020 | And then there's some points
00:00:37.400 | that I don't actually even like transferring to,
00:00:39.360 | though I do think they have good value,
00:00:41.400 | that go on sale for as little as half a cent a point,
00:00:44.680 | like Hilton or close to that for Choice Hotels and Marriott.
