Thanks to Luke for joining me in this endeavor!!

Here Are Some of My Favorite Point/Mile Earning Cards:

[mikedevan]

I actually flew to Frankfurt on Singapore Airlines, and I was simply blown away. Couldn't agree with Luke more. The entire crew travels through the airport to the plane together, and they look as sharp and crisp as seen on their ads. And the service deserves a "Chef's kiss".

[AnthonyVenture]

Damnnn Luke said there’s a help booth for folks who accidentally fly to Austria instead of Australia, that’s wild!

[colinshi]

Thank you so much for taking my crazy request and making it a reality! I appreciate the efforts you went to bring in Luke, and even rank the lesser known international transfer partners.

My personal S Tier partners are Air Canada Aeroplan, Alaska Mileage Plan, and American AAdvantage (previous Bilt transfer). Those tick all the boxes for international business sweet spots, versatility, low taxes, and easy website. This was a great list, and I agree with these rankings! I feel B/C tier are programs with expanded award availability on their own flights, but not necessarily high CPP (Singapore, Emirates, EVA Air, Turkish, United). And D tier have <1.2 CPP so you're better off booking through the Chase portal.

“Sometimes we call him Luke’s Cashback right” 😂😂😂

Damnnn this will be a monster of a video!! Great to get some knowledge like this from someone who has traveled and uses these partners as much as Luke has!

Thanks for putting this together Calby!

[luisserrano]

Great to see Calby and Luke side by side, they both bring great knowledge together, great work guys!

[larrypirela]

This was awesome. Wish there was more info on Finnair. A deep dive series on partner sweet spots would be killer

[DugrozReports]

Great stuff! And thanks for, including, my very brief cameo! 😂🎉🎉🎉

[boondoggle]

As someone who is new to the transfer partner game, this is extremely helpful.

[JuanGarcia-hrwf]

Great video Calby with Uncle Luke. Although I’m based in MIA, Aeroplan card is definitely on my radar once I’m under 5/24

[JohnWick-ov]

I would pay for $1, 000 AF for a premium Aeroplan card with Star Alliance Gold

[roddyhaynes]

Etihad gives good value for domestic AA flights where you need a connection. Better that Qantas for shorter flights but thier cancellation policy stinks so best for last minute flights

[Mrful]

i don't think there is a help desk in any airport in Austria designated to help travelers that thought they were going to Australia.

[nubianpwr]

A real "tour de force" on transfer points programs - Kudos Luke & Calby👍🏾 I didn't get to hear your thoughts on ANA (?).

[DCGEMINI]

Luke your completely right
Hilton: best credit cards
Hyatt: best program
Marriott: best properties

Hooyahhh passport bros 😎

[bcriz]

Do you have step by step tutorials on maximizing point redemption using airline and hotel transfer partners?

[mattdarling]

Thanks for the heads up about Asia Miles to BA! Brings taxes to a little under $400 each way, still not the best but for sure more palatable if wanting to fly BA.

Also I've found one really good use case for Jet Blue: you can book Qsuites from USA to Qatar for 70-80k with no surcharges, and the availability is better than any other partner.

[tlgraber]

Great analyses! One observation I would have is that the US airlines could automatically get bumped up one slot because of their cancellation policies on award tickets.

[YanLuo]

Hey calby, I have barely seen any YouTuber mention this sweet spot: Iberia only charges 36.25k+$25ish for economy from New York to HKG, I just got it for 28k + $25 given the 30% transfer bonus from AMEX. And there is $15 back at HKG if you leave Hong Kong the same day without entering the city. Easy 3+ CPP on economy flights 🎉

[CleverIV]

Virgin Atlantic and Red can be linked. There are even 80k cruises offered from time to time. They are all intents and purposes - the same account
