I’ve earned a ton of points via my wife and I referring eachother to all the chase freedom cards. Works both ways so once one person refers, the other person can refer back for the next card and so forth.

Also referred her to the sapphire preferred.

I do the “check in, check out” thing often. I actually just tell the person I check in with that we added another night later on and ask to stay in the same room. It’s easier for me and the hotel doesn’t have to churn the room. Anyways, I’ve never had an issue getting the credits. I’ve done it three night in a row before.

Great video! Do you happen to know if Capital One Venture X Miles can be pooled together? Or if when booking flights, would my spouse and I have to book our own tickets separately under our own frequent flyer accounts?

[mikemike]

I would do the the check out and check in method even if I had kids with me. Because Amex gives late check out and early check in either me or my wife would stay in the room with the kid(s) while the other goss down to the front desk to check in to the new room. At that point we can use the overlapping hours to pack and roll our luggage to the new room

You have Mrs SF and 2 SF-girls so not easy to check in-n-out (like AskS did 😄) but I imagine most couples will do! 😄

Loved this video. There’s so much power in being able to play in player 2 mode. I just need to get my player 2 more involved because she is definitely not into credit cards as much as me haha. Maybe I’ll show her this video 😉

Im going to b doing that “checking out then checking back in thing” in dc next month. Im going to b by myself so its not a big deal for me. Plus its free drinks, i mean $100 credit😉

I'm going to wait for Amex to offer a Hilton upgrade. It really should have 4x back on all purchases. Marriott needs to negotiate their points program. For instance: if you have a 50K free night just call the hotel directly and haggle the 60K Opryland Hotel 🛍️.

Super thorough but how do you pool? Call? Online?

Love this video Ben! My wife just referred me to the Venture X and I referred her to the Sapphire Perferred when it was 80k points. 15k points from chase but a whopping 25k points for her from Capital One

When you use the $200 hotel credit, did you book a total of four nights so you each earn $200 or did you book 2 nights under both names and earn the $200 that way?

[MannyCovington]

Having a player 2 to do referrals + extra points combined in general is a great way to do more travel for free!

[ladygadventures]

When you mentioned about the amex $200 credit for hotel, did u mean the authorize user or your partner have another amex card on her own?

[theonlybuster]

Me and my partner tend to travel pretty light (simple duffle bag) and often rent a vehicle.
It would be nothing to wake up, toss everything in our duffle bags, check out and start our day only to return that evening to check back in. At first she'd be wary, but mentioning the $100 credit twice, and I'm sure she'd immediately be down for it.

If I book the 1st night with Amex Platinum and my authorized user book the 2nd night, aren’t these considered separate bookings? The authorized user can use early noon check in to get the 2nd room first, while I do late 4pm checkout for the 1st room, then just move our things to the 2nd room by 4pm.

0:31 Those "travel buddies" are goals. I love the video you chose for that!

[TYZOMBEE]

Im young so ill try the checkout method CHEERS

The 2 player game is great for a short term huge boost in sign up points but is it possible to keep this game going in the long term? Eventually, you’ll have exhausted all your possibilities with signup bonuses - you can’t open 3-4 new cards every year as you’ll max out your revolving accounts. So, how do you keep this game going? Do you start closing cards out to reapply for the bonuses so that you’re in a sort of revolving situation of closing then opening? Otherwise, this strategy is good for 3-4 years and then you’re just back to earning by spending only.

Ben at the MGM rewards desk as them to combine you and your wifes account. She will get a gold MLife card. Once her account updates to that then she can match to Hyatt.

My wifes hadn’t updated fast enough. So when my wife showed the concierge her gold card they updated her account. Then she matched to explorist

[mastrkents]

12:35 does this need to be two actual separate cards? Or can one of them be an AU card?
