In Episode 99 of the Award Travel 101 podcast, Mike Zaccheo and Justin Walter dive into exciting travel updates and tips. Highlights include member Paul's recommendation to explore European Christmas markets, featuring Vienna's charm. News about Chase Freedom's Q1 2025 5x categories, Virgin Red's link to Virgin Flying Club for bonus points, and status match opportunities for Delta and Hilton elites was discussed. Southwest also announced the sale of A-List status, offering perks like priority boarding and same-day flight changes.In the main feature, Justin recounts his recent 6-night family trip to Europe, managing the logistics of traveling with seven people, including his sister-in-law's first international journey. He secured United Polaris business class tickets, enjoyed the Polaris lounge at ORD, and stayed at the Hyatt Regency Churchill in London with upgraded suites and stellar service. The family explored iconic attractions earning bonus points through Rakuten for ticket purchases. They wrapped up the trip with a positioning flight to Amsterdam.  While Justin and his travel companions had a smooth return flight to the U.S., his parents faced a different experience. Their itinerary was hit by a lengthy delay, resulting in an unplanned overnight stay in Chicago. This situation served as a reminder to stay calm and make use of available resources when irregular operations (IROPS) occur. On a positive note, they successfully filed a UK261 claim to compensate for the inconvenience. Justin concludes with practical family travel tips—plan your transportation, bring portable strollers, and use Uber for ease. Plus, Justin's tip of the week encourages listeners to jump on outstanding offers when you see them, like we did with the NLL Amex Business Gold recently.Links to Topics DiscussedChase Freedom Q1 2025 CategoriesLink Virgin red to Virgin Flying Club for 4000 pointsAA Announced 2025 Loyalty program changesDelta Status for Hilton Diamond membersWhere to Find Us The Free 110k+ member Award Travel 101 Community.

Today we are chatting with Joe Reyes (@joe_reyez), who is a speaker at the Bougie in a Backpack Virtual Travel Summit. Joe is a pro at getting referrals, and constantly maxes out his personal credit card referrals to friends, family, and coworkers, earning over 100,000 points just in referrals last year. He shares his approach to referring friends and family to credit cards and offers tips on starting with beginner-friendly cards. He also discusses credit card piggybacking as a strategy to boost credit scores. The conversation concludes with a discussion on balancing passion and approachability when sharing credit card knowledge. In this episode, we chat about: Maximizing credit card referrals can help you earn more points and miles. Starting with beginner-friendly cards like the Chase Freedom and Discover It can be a good entry point into the points and miles game. Credit card piggybacking, adding someone as an authorized user to your card, can help boost their credit score. Approaching friends and family about credit cards requires a gentle and informative approach. Sharing credit card knowledge on platforms like Instagram can help educate and inspire others. and more!

The most common example of social trading is when individual investors follow successful traders on social trading platforms and copy their trades. This can help investors who lack the time, experience, or confidence to invest on their own to achieve similar returns to more experienced traders. But, if you've ever traded stocks or crypto on Robinhood, and immediately received a prompt letting you know which of your friends also bought that stock earlier that same day, then you've experienced social investing. Or, if you've ever found yourself knee-deep in a Reddit thread debating the merits of bottom-up versus top-down company analysis, then you've experienced social investing as well.For better or for worse, financial influencers play a significant role in the trend of social investing because they have established a following and built a reputation for their perceived knowledge and expertise in the financial markets. They are adept at using social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok, and Youtube to share their investment strategies, insights, opinions, and ideas with their followers. On this episode, Malcolm Ethridge sits down with Manning Field, CEO of Follow, a new social investment startup encouraging investors to bolster and diversify their portfolios by mirroring the trades of today's top financial creators. The pair share their differing opinions on the rise of fin-fluencers, the so-called Reddit rebellion, and the expected long-term impact of social investing on a generation of newer, younger investors.Manning Field discusses: The role of social media in the future of investingThe importance of vetting financial advice before acting on itYounger investors' preference for finfluencers What it means to construct portfolios of the futureConnect With Manning:LinkedIn: Manning FieldFollowConnect With Malcolm Ethridge:The Tech Money Podcast LinkedIn: Malcolm EthridgeConnect with Malcolm @MalcolmOnMoneyAbout Our Guest:Manning Field is the Chief Executive Officer at Follow.

Lillian travels to 2-13 countries a year, and mostly flies and stays in hotels for free or cheap - through credit card travel hacking. She walks you through how to do it as a hobby- and why you might not want to. There are no referral links in this post, because I don't want you to think I'm doing this for the points. I do a lot of things for the points, but getting my audience into my weird hobby is not one of those things! Steps to adventuring on travel hacking through credit cards as a hobbyIf you are in credit card debt, stop and do not pass go. Focus on paying off your credit card debt, as this is a hobby that will cost you money, not earn you perks, if you can't pay off your balance every month.Make sure you have a credit score above ~720 or so. You can find out by getting your free score from Discover (without a discover card) or getting your "FAKO" score from creditkarma.com.If you have a new credit file or score below 720, the best starter cards are usually the Chase Freedom and the Discover It. If you use them responsibly for about 8 months to a year you will build up a credit file. If you are a student there's also a Discover It Student and Capital One student card if you’re a student.Know how much you spend in a month on credit card spendable expenses. You need to hit this for minimum spend. This could be high if you get reimbursed for work expenses or could be low. Generally you need about $1,000 of expenses a month for most cards at a minimum, but there's a few ways around it but you may have to pay a small fee.Set up accounts with all the majors airline rewards perks - even if you don't think you'll use them. For keeping track of your different accounts, use a password management software (I use 1password). Even if you never are going to stay at a Hilton, for example, you still want an HHonors account. [visit the full post on Ohmydollar.com for more since I can't fit it all in here]Links mentionedMy Full Budget from my 13-country trip, including the travel hackingCurrent credit card offers google spreadsheetReddit.com/r/churning/ - The best place to ask newbie questions, it's less scary than other parts of reddit, I swear!For more advanced folks, https://www.flyertalk.com/ has a forum that's a great place to go but it's not very newbie friendly Please come join us We finally have a forum!

We are live from Quito, Ecuador. We have been doing a bunch of dental work here. As many of you know, I am obsessed with credit cards and have been wanting to do a credit card episode for quite a while. Yesterday, we had an hour and a half bus ride with some students and the topic of credit cards came up. This was the perfect time to record this episode about credit cards. Some of the things we talk about include how and why to use credit cards and how to maximize the use of credit cards. We look into which cards are the best and how to make the most of rewards and cash back programs. If used correctly, credit cards can be a tool to save on travel and purchases. After listening to this episode, you should be able to make better decisions about your use of credit cards. Show Notes: [01:27] Kelsey is an incoming D3 at UTHC. She has a Capital One Venture card. [01:35] Austin is the husband of a D3 And was intrigued with this conversation. [01:49] Travis Bradley is a freelance videographer, and he has a credit card from his local credit union. [02:15] We are going to talk about how and why we use credit cards and how to maximize them. [02:40] If you're not paying off your credit card every month, you lose all benefits of points and rewards. [03:26] Kelsey's husband had the Capital One Venture card before they got married, and she was added onto it. [03:55] They pay their credit card off every month, but they use it to buy everything. They paid for their honeymoon with their points. They mostly use the card to collect points for travel. [04:04] Austin has The Discover it card. He and his wife both have it. There is no annual fee, and it matches your cash back during the first year. [04:52] Travis has a credit union credit card. [05:37] Questions to ask when getting a credit card. Does status matter? What are you trying to save for? [06:15] Deciding what you want dictates the credit route you go. [06:31] Common credit cards are the Discover it,The American Express Delta card,The AMX card, and the Southwest card [06:58] There are cards that are bank specific and cards that a report specific. [07:26] Sully believes that rewards cards are the worst ones that you can get. [08:09] Your only earning one point per dollar unless you're using certain rewards cards for flights. [11:26] Length of credit is one of the biggest things that impacts your credit score. Paying on time is also very important. Credit utilization ratio also matters. [13:18] Adding a credit card increases your credit utilization ratio. [14:13] Don't apply for credit cards before you make a big purchase. If you're not making a big purchase, you can take advantage of promotional rewards offers and then later down the line cancel the card. [18:36] Cash back, international travel, and domestic travel rewards cards. Cashback cards are easy to use.These are things like Discover it, Chase Freedom, and Capital One Quicksilver. [19:49] The biggest benefit you can get from a cashback credit card is about 2%. [21:33] When using rewards for business expenses you want to take the tax deduction before you get the cash back. [22:00] Sully is a Chase fan. He likes the Chase freedom card and the Chase Sapphire preferred card. [22:46] The Chase Sapphire preferred is two points per dollar on all travel and dining, but it does have an annual fee. [25:53] With the Sapphire preferred card you can transfer your points. You also get free TSA pre-checked. [29:40] The Chase Sapphire Reserve card has a fee of $450 a year. But you get a $300 travel voucher. It's also three points per dollar on all travel and all dining. [31:22] The benefit of Chase is transferring to partners this is also a drawback to the Capital One cards, because it doesn't have this benefit. [35:51] In order to get the best credit card deal, you need to have some idea of what you want to get out of it. [36:37] International travel is where you get the biggest bang for your buck. [38:18] With Delta's point system you don't get a lot of bang for your buck. [44:48] The danger of getting caught up in a rewards program. Be cautious you don't buy things you don't need just to earn rewards. [45:26] It's a good idea to pay off your credit cards immediately. [48:12] There is also a benefit to getting your Sapphire preferred card at certain times of the year. Bonuses and promotions change throughout the year. [54:14] If you plan on financing a house don't cancel any of your credit cards. [55:29] How important it is to understand what credit is used for. Buying points just to get point isn't a great idea. It's important to have an emergency fund and also be able to pay off your credit card monthly. [56:02] It's important to understand what you're actually accumulating points for. When you have a goal in mind you can be so much more efficient. [56:35] Understand that there are two parts to rewards. There is the accumulation of points in the usage of points.Some cards are better at one or the other. [56:48] Keep an eye out for the differences between cash back rewards and miles. [57:39] The companion pass. This is the Southwest promotion where if you earn 110,000 points in a calendar year you get a companion who flies free with you on every flight you take for that year and the following calendar year. [59:52] To maximize your points you would do so much better by getting the bonus points and then transferring points from a Chase card, because 110,000 miles is a lot. [01:00:59] The best way to do it is to get a Southwest personal card and the South West business card that each come with a 50,000 bonus point reward. [01:02:22] If done correctly, the companion pass is the crème de la crème. As always thanks so much for listening!

In this morning episode of “Authentic Smile” I wanted to share a friendly message on the topic of “SETTING YOURSELF FREE” from all the things, people, and certain environments that have held you captive and completely shut off from living your best life. It’s time to set yourself free from all of life’s challenges and ask the lord to walk, talk, lead and guide you to the positive side of life where LOVE, PEACE, and BALANCE reside. I pray this sparks the interest of the listening ear to challenge his or her thought process to CHASE FREEDOM.
