Totally agree on the Virgin Atlantic transfers. Did that with chase last month, got 3 bus class tickets for 41k miles each + $250 taxes. I only had to transfer 29k points each. Amazing deal!
Thank you for posting I was just thinking about this topic! I am hoping for good transfer bonuses for Capital One and Citi for next year so fingers crossed :)
When calculating CPP do you ever keep in mind about the cost of alternate flights that might be cheaper? Or do you just go with points because of CPP? I feel like a lot of the prices are heavily inflated and at times CPP aren't the best indicator. I recently found an economy flight for $240 one way. But on one of the airlines (on the same route) point redemption I found a $440 ticket flight but it came to about 1.7 CPP. I suppose it's all about opportunity cost at this point but how would you decide? Cause given this example, the flight (same route, nonstop, albeit different departure time) the point redemption is a good deal in the end. But would you really value the cost of the ticket $440 or the $240 when factoring CPP? Same with business class tickets too, I see over >10 CPP tickets.
I usually recommend booking Swiss Air flights through Air Canada, United, or Lifemiles, though upgrading an economy ticket can be tricky. Here's a free form where we can help you find some award space for your trip: go.geobreezetravel.com/ast-form
Do you mean taxes and fees? If you want to optimize for lowest fees, stick with the US carriers, taxes are $6 for domestic flights. Your cpp will be lower, but fees will also be lower this way.
Love your videos and interviews with wonderful questions.😊

Thank you for that analysis. Breaks my heart regarding Hyatt.
yup, thankfully there are a few other strategies we can use for getting Hyatt points, but transfer bonuses isn't one of them
This is brilliant! Thank you for sharing!!

Thank you love the insight. Hopefully Turkish will open up more often
I hope so too, but in the meantime, I usually just book Turkish flights through United or Air Canada

I love Portugal and wanna fly TAP sometime but it seems like maybe more deals can be found on partners?
Yes, we usually find clients flights on TAP by booking through Air Canada or Lifemiles
Remember there is often a hefty redemption fee with these points
