I honestly have to admit that I really appreciate the transparency in your content and the fact that you book economy flights using points. Similar content from other creators tends to "make the viewer feel bad" if they are not using their points to fly business or first class, instead of simply enjoying your points in whichever way you choose.
Our wedding in 1999 was around $15,000 so $30K now seems about right.
So so cool
I'm confused what the thinking was between paying for monthly AirBnB's and traveling some nights and paying for hotels. Did I misunderstand or were you paying for two places a night?
Thank you for the fantastic information. I am new to the travel hacking journey and sometimes get discouraged. Watching this video gives me hope and keeps me motivated to keep going on this journey. Do you have a YouTube channel yourself?
This is amazing! Question – when you say you used an AirBnB as a "central hub," I presume you paid for a month and then stayed at various hotels mixed into that month?
Got the Venture X after this video!
Should tell Kara and Nate that somehow there was just a FAKE live stream on their channel….. It's off now
I would be very interested to know how much exactly you spent out of pocket for those 3 months of travel
Problem we live in the Netherlands and only have American express for getting the bonus points or are there other travel creditcards ?
So much information, thanks for sharing. I am so excited and terrified to use my points. I don’t want to goof it. I applaud you for trying so many options in one trip.
My question: Which is better, to book a one month Airbnb at around a 50% discount (as done above) and then book transport everywhere you’d like to go or to move cities once a week while saving on transportation. (There’s a smaller discount on weekly Airbnb bookings.)
Now that is a Honeymoon…… just awesome…. Too bad the AirB&B's were paid in cash….. Very interesting with lots of great tips as usual….. So important not to pay interest on Credit Cards
This is awesome, but does anyone have tips on cards that give you all these benefits for non US based people? I'm from Latin America and the "best" credit cards here give you LifeMiles at best and those don't get you pretty much anything.
The wedding people don’t charge a fee for taking a credit card ??
This video is amazing but i do have to say …. 3 months of hotels on only 300-350k hotel points has me scratching my head…would love to see your actual redemption breakdowns. Thats like 3-4k a night which seems insanely low for Europe.
So after you've spent the sign-up bonus points, how long does is actually take to accrue a decent amount of points that are worth a flight somewhere?
I got the chase card a couple months ago and I am so excited to redeem my points for the first time!!!! Thanks for the tips!
Really enjoying the Daily Drop videos. I’ve been travel hacking for a long time, but I love these back to basics videos – keep my knowledge up to date. What a great adventure you and your wife went on!
OK, now we need a video on how to get 3 months off from work :-/
Does the Capital One travel credit negate any points you would've earned by booking through the portal or do you still get points for the full amount of the booking?
Who here has 500,000 points??
