What other questions do you have about using travel credit cards? 💳I'll do a follow-up video!

[tennesseedreamermusic]

Thanks for this video! Would be very curious to hear about options for people who don't have excellent credit and who are on a smaller budget than these folks

[sfoeric]

One important thing to remember is not to purchase things on your travel credit cards just to accumulate points/miles if you can’t afford the purchases as travel cards typically carry the highest APR’s.

Hi Kristin, could you do a video about (solo) travel safety?
You've been to many places by yourself for so many years.
That takes a lot of courage and knowledge.
Many of your viewers can benefit from your safety videos.
The world is a bit more complicated nowadays that you even heard mass shooting in Norway and Denmark very recently....
Thank you for sharing your chat with KT and Jordan

If i move to other country permanently then can my home country credit score will be converted there or should i have to start my credit score from scratch?

[opulentElephant]

Anyone have the link to the Marriott map? 🧐

[scottman]

These are all great tips! I have the Marriott Chase card too, and that has been such a great card to have. It helped me get a huge discount on a 5-star hotel in London back in April which was great!

[jakudahsymba]

Do you use the safety saw that has the retractable blade?

[diegop.]

Love all your videos, Kristin.
Could you make a video about best countries to escape climate change/catastrophe?

[GiselleTrujillo]

I am a new subscriber and addicted to your channel, I love it, super valuable. THANK YOU.

[TheSlashSlingingSlasher]

I think you forgot to mention with these cards in order to get free miles you have to spend thousands of dollars in the first few months

[anniesretirementjourney]

So all these cards give all those miles and points and free stuff, BUT you have to spend a certain amount before you get those freebies, is that correct? These guys make it sound like they get free hotels anywhere they go randomly all the time with no explanation as to how it actually happens. I guess I need more in depth info for beginners.

[GiselleTrujillo]

This is such a valuable channel, I love it! THANK KIRISTIN!!!

[michaelbfreerun]

I would never stay in those hotels, but I might boondock in their parking lot.

[EmpireRules]

Great tips as always! Thank you. Chase Private Client also allows no fee ATM globally. I don’t know the requirements now. It could be anywhere between $100, 000-$250, 000 with Chase. I used my Chase debit card for cash withdrawal in Carthage a couple of weeks ago and there were no charges. As for business class, I would highly recommend Turkish Airlines. On my way back from Istanbul to Chicago last month, besides endless flow of scrumptious foods during the flight prepared on board, I also noticed that they even make your bed with vacuum sealed mattress and pillow cases after dinner over 180° flat-seat 😴. I have never seen that before.

[tatianaflorez]

Oh thank you so much for making this awesome video!!!!

[craffte]

How do you navigate? My American Express Platinum.

[tgarrett]

Hi! I can’t find the rest of this interview on your website

[d.k]

Love you . My comment is first dear. Miss you so much.

[RogierYou]

I love my Apple Card no BS fees and “incentives” no annual fee and real cash back. Most importantly they automatically detect and cancel fraudulent charges and change the card number on the fly. Your physical card is also automatically updated so you never have to wait to receiver a new card.
