Buying airline miles from loyalty programs like alaska airlines miles, american airlines aadvantage program or avianca lifemiles can very profitable... Those frequent flyer miles can be used for travel hacking at a much higher rate than the price you can purchase them at.

Great video. I buy AAdvantage miles to keep my account going and I use them from time to time

I haven’t really bought miles but after watching this video I think I’ll consider it. Thanks Ramy!

Top your video. Here in Brazil there is an option to buy miles and sell them on travel agency websites, and make a small profit with these miles. However, the more you make, the greater the profit. Another way is to buy miles through promotions and issue these tickets to other people. Was it like that with you? However, two trusted agencies are in crisis at the moment. market kind of stopped.

Hi Rami, excellent video! Can you do a video comparing the Chase Sapphire Reserve and the Citi Prestige?

Thank you for the video. Ramy! Do you know when is it usually a good time to buy Alaska or emirates skywards miles? We travel to Jordan every year almost and it would be nice to upgrade to business class once in a while especially for my older mother. Thanks again!

Avianca is great for bying miles and there is no surcharge, however when redeeming and flying via London you will be slugged with a massive surcharge to use the London airport when flying business or first class

Great video! I'm thinking of buying a AAdvantage miles in a few weeks to keep them from expiring. However, I only have about 10k left, so I'm unsure if it's actually worth it...

Hey Ramy, I need to purchase more than the allowable Emirates 100, 000 miles to take advantage of a great deal. Anyways around purchasing more than the allotted amount. I have researched all other avenues ie, hotel loyalty points etc. Thanks

Hey Rami! I need some advice. I will be doing a home renovation and hoping to earn some points on the side as I will pay off the card Immediately. I have the CSR, Freedom, freedom unlimited, Hyatt, and united club card. What would you recommend for a new card combo to maximize or should I just use the unlimited? I don’t have a business. Thanks!

Hey Ramy, question.. if I get the Hilton Aspire card do I receive complimentary diamond status for as long as I have the card or is it a temporary status??

Southwest just had a promotion-> 6X miles on any southwest purchase. When we see deals like this what happens if I buy miles on southwest using my southwest card? Do I gwt 6X miles on the miles I bought because it was a southwest purchase using the southwest card??

Tied to my business and can't really travel far away. But trying to make it possible for my wife + 1 family member to take a trip to Hawaii. She's never been on a plane. Barclay AA biz + Citi AA biz. Should add up to about 135k miles for 1k+4k spend. IND-DFW-HNL = ~72.5k miles per person round trip. So need about 145k mi depending on the travel dates. Barclay had website issues...phone issues...total run around...finally submitted...answer pending. Citi instantly approved for 20k no nonsense. Already have 174k Marriott pts set aside. Ritz is 60k/night. If anyone has any Hawaii travel recommendations, feel welcome to comment.

Hi Ramy, we are planning to travel Canada From Mumbai in March. Can I buy miles añd book flights in cheaper rate? Can you please guide me

[johnt]

Rami, I am not sure if I made the right or wrong choice but essentially, I recently puchased 150k points from AA ( they had a promotion). As I live in Australia, our international borders are finally opening up and we will be allowed to travel abroad. I found a redemption on Qatar from Sydney to Berlin in Business class for 85k ( march). Need your advise if I should redeem this now or wait?
