How to Redeem Credit Card Points Like a Pro (EASY Beginner's Guide)
In this video, I’ll go over step-by-step how to start earning points and miles, how and where to find these deals, and finally, how to evaluate if the deal is even good. I personally found it hard to understand how people could find flight deals at a super low rate. So please use this video as a guide to make the most out of your points, learn how to actually earn points from your credit cards (if you already didn’t know how) and get some insights into hacks on where to find the deals. I hope this video helps!
As I mentioned in the video, there are three methods I use to search for flight deals:
—Method 1: Search within airline alliances. If you search for flights within OneWorld, StarAlliance or SkyTeam you can sometimes find deals on the SAME flight.
—Method 2: Keep an eye out for transfer bonus deals. From time to time you get your credit cards (such as Chase and Bilt) or even airlines that throw some deals such as transferring poins out to get a bonus on top of your transfer rate. Most recently, Bilt had a 150% transfer bonus on Aeroplan, it’s a pretty good way to increase your points to get a deal!
—Method 3: Use award search tools. I used point.me to find a round trip flight from Dallas to Japan for only 60k points (which is basically 40% off normal flights routes using points), and I was only able to spot the deal by using the award search tool. A lot of the tools are slow to load and you can only search by date (or within a limited time period). But even though there were some search constraints, by putting in some time these types of tools really help you find deals in the long run.
