    Really excellent walkthrough. No wonder you have 1K already! Keep it coming.

      I'll keep these videos coming! I have quite a few flight redemptions I haven't uploaded yet and a lot more on the way that I haven't flown yet. I appreciate your support!

    I love Bucharest!! Hands down one of my favorite cities in Europe. Awesome redemption start to finish, that's a big journey for a price I imagine is hard to beat :) and congratulations on 1,000 subscribers!

      Bucharest is great! Everywhere we went in Romania was a fun time. Glad you liked the video!

    1k mark passed! Let’s go!
    Congrats on the milestone!
    The road to 10k subs has started! 💪🏼
    I’m holding my UR points hostage until I get a CSP or CSR this year!
    Thanks for walking us through the redemption as I plan to transfer/book points in march using Amex.
    Love your content.

      Thanks for the support and we're on to 10k! Definitely keep your UR points until you're able to transfer them out. I hope you find a great use of your points with Amex!

    Thanks Jacob. I just subscribed so that I'll get notified for your next Flying Blue videos.
    I prefer economy for KLM/AF. Any videos about Flying Blue and KLM/AF is good!
    I hope that next time your schedule will work out with their flights.
    It's good that you have option and can cancel last minute to get your points back for next time.

      I have a business class redemption video coming out in a couple weeks and an economy redemption video planned for the future. Then once those are posted I'll dig into the details and try to post a video with even more value beyond just what I personally did with my points. I like the cancelation policy too. It's not the best because I've had to pay 50 Euros for cancelling before, but that's still pretty flexible

      Hey Aidan, I just uploaded my newest Flying Blue video! It's about how I was able to redeem Chase points for Air France business class. I didn't lay out the exact steps on how to find the award availability, but I hope it's helpful! In the future, I'll see what I can do about a more step-by-step guide to find economy and business class for the lowest price

    1K Let's Go !!!! Congrats. AC Aeroplan quite often runs transfer bonus points. I didn't know ( or probably forgot) the Platinum gives access to Lufthansa Business Class Lounge? Last year I flew through Frankfurt and roamed the airport for 4 hours 😞 . Great vid Jacob💥

    • @JacobsPointsAndProfit
      @JacobsPointsAndProfit  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      1,000!!! Thanks so much!
      Yes, the Platinum card gives you access to Lufthansa Business Class lounges. Also, if you’re flying on a Lufthansa business class flight and have a Platinum card, you can get into the Senator Lounge which I would assume is better than the Business Lounge. That’s another reason we wanted to fly through Frankfurt and also don’t mind having a layover in Munich

    Congratulations on 1k subscribers Jacob! Transfer Bonuses are a fantastic way to stack on top of travel partners already being the best way to redeem your points. I think Aeroplan points are some of the best out there in terms of International airlines due to the alliances & partners they have and the website is pretty easy to use as well. It sounds like you had an awesome trip as well, great video as always Jacob!

    • @JacobsPointsAndProfit
      @JacobsPointsAndProfit  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Since booking this flight, we've learned that Aeroplan is more powerful than we thought, so I'll be visiting the Air Canada website frequently.
      Side note, I don't want to make you jealous, but I just booked a flight going through Seattle and we'll be going to the Centurion Lounge on our layover.

    Hey Jacob How often does air Canada put offers of 20 % in points?

    • @JacobsPointsAndProfit
      @JacobsPointsAndProfit  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It's really hard to predict when a 20% transfer bonus will show up again for Air Canada, since they can announce a bonus at any time. However, I would say a a 20% bonus or something similar can be expected around once a year from Chase. American Express also has a history with bonuses when transferred to Aeroplan

      We honestly thought 11 hours in the Lufthansa Business class lounge sounded like a fun idea. We were wrong about that haha

    Thank you Jacob. Could you please make a video on how you find saver seat availability on Flying Blue (Air France & KLM)?
    Thank you very much! That video is my fav in your channel

    • @JacobsPointsAndProfit
      @JacobsPointsAndProfit  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, I can add that video idea to my list! That's a pretty complex topic, so I'll have to dig into the research and I'll see what I can do. I have a Flying Blue video coming up in the next couple weeks which might provide some information you're looking for, but isn't dedicated to finding the availability. Are you looking for economy, business class, or both?
