Great overview Ricky! I like that you‘re honest about the true cash costs in the end since the food is so expensive. Most creators just say, that Maldives travels is free, which is FAR from the truth! One note: you get free breakfast at the Hiltons with gold status aswell.
Cant believe the events lining this universe.. i had been researching how to get villa for $0 in maldives for the past 4 days and then this video drops 3 hrs ago..
How would you fully optimize points? I’ve got a lot of AMEX membership points, Aeroplan points from the Reserve, and I just signed up for RBC Avion. Is it possible to transfer all my AMEX points to British Airways Avios to stack with RBC Avios? Good videos.
I have the Hilton card and diamond status. However, every time I look at Waldorf all the rooms are over a 1 million points per night. I have a free night reward and a quarter of a million points so I was going to try and book 2-3 nights. However, I cannot even afford one night at any of the resorts. Where are you seeing them for 150K points per night?
I'm so jealous looking at all these offers. Here in Australia, I'm locked out of all other sign up bonuses from amex cards for 18 months after applying for a single amex card. I'm still 12 months away from my next amex card :(
Great info! Just in time! Seriously If you complain about high costs in Maldives, then don't bother going. You are locked on an island and be expected to get charged an arm or leg for everything!
I have a side gig of selling some items online. definitely not big or an e-commerce business. just something for extra money. but i can apply for a business card even tho my annual gross revenue from it is like 7-8k haha 😆

Fyi St Regis has gotten so cheap when using points, they don’t include breakfast anymore. They give you that continental breakfast -have to pay extra for the full breakfast.
This is not true lol. I signed up for the bonvoy card. I got 150k points. I can use 30k points per night to book. Which basically isn’t enough to stay anywhere in the summer. This video is terribly misleading
Stop saying free please, points have equivalent value and are not given for free. You might as well exchange cash for bitcoin and buy a mansion and say it’s free.

Glad to be of help 😉

Are the points needed to redeem still close to whats been disclosed on this video with the dynamic pricing system?
Sucks to wait a year and spend all those points just to go to the Maldives during rain season 😩
Just don’t got during monsoon season

You can get US credit cards to diversify 😃
Is this doable if you don’t get the business cc (ie if you don’t have a business)
Does the Marriott status night stacking also work with the Chase Marriott/Ritz Carlton cards + Amex Marriott Business card?
Yes!
Which villa number were you at in the WA?

Your right it's beautiful and only a handful of Americans even say my beautiful home up close or form above
But the only way $2500 -> $0 makes sense is if you value your points at $0. There's no free lunch.
That makes no sense
lets go!

Le Meridien starts at 40k a night
@@PrinceofTravel where? In the Maldives? I don’t see that
@@PrinceofTravel it’s 147k points per night to stay at that hotel
It depends on season and dates. Can greatly vary. The video isn’t misleading, you’re just being unrealistic with your expectations
@@0741921 no I’m not. I signed up and got 30k per night to book so right there that’s very misleading
idk 5 nights on an overwater villas in the middle of nowhere sounds way too long lol
Well generally you spend your time doing other activities like snorkeling. Also, it’s meant to be relaxing. Obv not everyone’s cup of tea
I live in Maldives 😂❤
Damn
Gold for Hilton also gives you breakfast ^-^
Wow!
It’s the dream come true
Stop saying free please, points have equivalent value and are not given for free. You might as well exchange cash for bitcoin and buy a mansion and say it’s free.
its stupid. u have to spend way more on food this way. just spend the money for 1k each day than wasting pts on this bs.
Hope you like your steak Ribeye and $98 USD
But rooms $0
