How To Master The Art Of Travel Hacking With Miles And Points
00:00:00.000 | Why do you like points?
00:00:01.640 | Why aren't you sitting there collecting cash back?
00:00:03.480 | I really think there's two different pieces to this.
00:00:05.900 | So the first piece is that they make travel possible in ways that
00:00:10.920 | cash doesn't always make practical.
00:00:13.680 | I can almost guarantee that anybody who's not focusing right now on earning miles
00:00:17.760 | and points could be traveling more or more comfortably or both if they're
00:00:22.000 | learning to maximize miles and points.
00:00:23.920 | The other big piece of it for me is that it's kind of a psychological thing.
00:00:27.400 | I think we all like getting a deal.
00:00:28.640 | And the thing with miles and points is that that discount is
00:00:32.000 | often significantly higher.
00:00:33.600 | So, you know, we're looking at saving 60 or 70 or sometimes like,
00:00:36.880 | believe it or not, 90% or more.
00:00:38.680 | That takes things that are just impossible and brings them within reach.
00:00:42.400 | Miles and points create these opportunities for far outsized value.
00:00:46.080 | And that's exciting and fun.
00:00:48.000 | You know, when you get on a plane and you know that you paid 90% less than
00:00:51.320 | somebody else on that plane, there's an exciting element of that.
