How to Score Amazing Travel Deals (3 Simple and Fast Tips)
00:00:00.000 | I had three big takeaways for you.
00:00:02.200 | One deals pop up all the time, even for primetime travel.
00:00:06.420 | I was looking for flights to Europe for five people direct in business
00:00:11.320 | class in the summer, which is a very hard time to find awards.
00:00:15.040 | I got multiple options in the 45 to 75, 80,000 point range for that over the
00:00:21.400 | course of a couple of weeks on short notice, takeaway number two, don't forget
00:00:25.720 | that because you find a flight on one airline, like United in my case, it absolutely
00:00:30.400 | does not mean you need to book it through United's award program.
00:00:33.440 | And in many cases, it's going to be a much worse deal.
00:00:36.600 | Takeaway number three, there is so much value in having transferable points,
00:00:41.000 | especially across multiple programs.
00:00:43.160 | In my example, if I didn't have chase points, then I wouldn't have gotten the
00:00:46.720 | 20% aero plan transfer bonus, or have even been able to transfer to United.
00:00:50.960 | If that was the best option, if I didn't have Amex points, I couldn't
00:00:54.000 | you've gotten the 15% bonus to life miles.
