    Great intro! Currently investigating earning miles in China. In Dubai it was also pretty easy. Flew First on Etihad, Qatar and Singapore and business on Emirates, Oman, Philippine Airlines, Air Asia, Malaysian, Qatar and Etihad after just one year of miles and cheap deals.

      @Nevis LazajNo luck, getting a credit card is very hard as a foreigner and no great point bonus. If you have credit cards with signup bonus back home it's better to get those.

    What miles card would you recommend for someone who doesn't have the best credit score or medium Credit 620 or higher ?

    wait so to earn 3x points on travel for your chase sapphire you need to book your trips through the chase website? or they just know from the bank statement you spent it with an airline or hotel? and then when you spend those points do you need to use the chase ultimate rewards website or could you just redeem for cash? is the payout the same?

      @bwb4416 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      depends on the airline.... if you are like me, a loyal LH miles & more member, most US credit cards and hotels do not partner with LH..... so hard to collect miles this way if LH is what you want to fly

    Hi there great video! I plan on using your affiliate links to support you but can't decide which card to start with for my situation: The Chase Sapphire Preferred or the Gold Delta SkyMiles?
    I am planning on traveling full time next year with my remote job and any insight would be much appreciated, thanks for all you do!

      In most cases the CSP is going to be the better beginner card, as you're not locked in to a single program. You'll also earn points more quickly!

    HI! Thanks for all your advices...I'm new to this so I was wondering...If I am a frequent flyer of about 10 airlines, and some of them happen to be part of the same airlines alliance...Is it possible to put together all the miles accumulated in each airline and change/redeem them for a flight ticket through the airline alliance website??? I know this question could look like silly to you but I'm just starting to play this "miles" game...and I'd really apreciate you telling me if this is duable or not... Thanks and all the best!

    • @onemileatatime
      @onemileatatime  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      If you've already credited the miles to a certain program, then for the most part they are likely "stuck" in that program. But going forward you can choose a single program within an alliance to credit your miles to.

      You could maybe transfer miles to Amex and then transfer them again to one of the alliances miles. So transfer the delta and Flying Blue miles say to Amex and then transfer them from there to Flying Blue. Hope it helps!

    I have very little credit card debt and a credit score in the high 700s. I'm fine with that, thank you. Oh, and I hate traveling, airplanes, and hotels, so obviously I don't give a damn about miles. The closest I get to O'Hare or Midway is if I'm picking up or dropping off.

    so i really like this new videos-so i know you did a blog post best way to get to Europe and you failed to mention the 68k roundtrip business class on iberia which transfers directly from ur also so many bloggers underplay the 75k roundtrip in biz to tokyo to ana or the 104 roundtrip on ethic to abu dubai so i know you have been playing this game a long time so i aak why do so many bloggers not show these amazing sweet spots and telling people to use 220k roundtrip miles for lh first when its a huge waste

    • @onemileatatime
      @onemileatatime  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Those are all great deals (though ANA miles can't currently be used on Etihad), and Tiffany did mention the Iberia award you're referencing in her recent post.
      I might do a video on sweet spots at some point -- I feel like we do frequent posts on them, but the reality is that they aren't all practical as general miles and points advice.

    Frequent flier miles are not worth the trouble. Costs 80,000 points to go from NYC to Paris and back, as in you have to fly 80,000 miles to get that many first..... prntscr.com/qgb8lq Only thing worth having is the travel credit card.

    Miles and more points disappear at end of the year, especially when you are about to become a frequent traveler. Guys please check out before falling for this bad and manipulative program! Do your research.
