Another great example of the power of points and miles when transferring out to transfer partners. Found a really great points flight for someone. Wanted to share it with you guys. Please read to the end for all the details. I found 3 seats in Delta One Suites from West Coast to Australia for April 2024. (They are still available as I post this) I was contacted about someone looking for 3 seats to Australia from Washington DC in April 2024. For those of you that know the points and miles world you know this is a hard ask. This last minute and looking for 3 seats is near impossible. But I gave it my all. Best results for points bookings I usually find 354 days out. Best results for New Zealand and Australia are normally found from the east coast. Don't be afraid of a cheap cash positioning flight to the airport where you can find a points deal out if. So many people don't find deals because of lack of flexibility in dates, departure or arrival airports, or only looking to fly Direct from point A to Point B. The client was about to book economy flights for 3 people from DC to Sydney for 600k Amex points in the portal for 3 people round trip in Economy. ($6,000 cash price, Amex points only worth 1 cent per point in portal) They reached out to me wanting to find business class. So I looked on my normal favorite tool seats.aero to see what I could find. Nothing from the East Coast so moved to the West. I was able to find an awesome deal with all things considered. 3 seats from LAX to Sydney in Delta One Suites Round Trip. April 16th 165k points and $37.90 one way per person Return April 29th 165k and $90 one way per person 990k points and $354 The cash price of these same flights is almost $29,000 dollars. Sometimes you can find these flights as low as 80-90k one way per person through Qantas or other partners but this is an incredible deal for a last minute flight for 3 that is near impossible to find. Other times I see them in the 100k-130k range on Qantas.With the cheaper options normally it's only 1 or 2 seats available. It all depends on many factors. For best results I like to search as far out as possible 355 days in advance for most airlines.

Hey guys hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years! The Chase Ink Unlimited and Business Cash all time highest 90k offers are coming to an end on January 18th! If you have been thinking about opening a chase ink business card now is the time to do so! Especially if you owe federal taxes this year that can be a great way to earn some points on money you already have to spend. There is a small 1.85%-2% fee associated but definitely worth the $900 plus in travel you will earn. Especially if you transfer these points out to transfer partners later and you can 2-5x your $900 value easily. Both these cards have a spend 6k in 3 months requirement. Also you do not need to be a big business owner or even have an EIN. You can have a small business or some type of side hustle. Uber,Lyft,Instacart, Social Media, Etsy, Reseller, etc can all qualify. Keep in mind you do have to have or get a chase sapphire preferred, reserve, or ink preferred at some point to be able to transfer points out to transfer partners. Onntheir own the ink cash and ink unlimited points can only be used in the Chase travel portal and that is not the best value. Of course I always appreciate your support and you can find these 90k offers linked below. Comment down below or shoot me a message with any questions or if you need help.
