I think valuing the revpoint at 1p is better if you're an avid traveller as you can often get 1p of value per avios. I'm curious about the 2p per rev point on stays though. In theory it would actually make using stays worth using! Usually I find the hotels are more expensive than if I book directly or google search.

are these cards suitable for college student？❤

Is my calculation correct if 1 Avios point = 0.05 pence if I spent £6000 I get £300 worth of Revolut points / Avois points. Did I use the right pence value or is it 0.005 pence = £30 worth of avois after spending £6000. I hope you can help thanks!

£15 for lounge pass? Everytime I go is £24

Agree with almost everything you say here, bar one thing: my experience of CW service has been that it can't be faulted and is, therefore, extremely difficult to improve upon. So, as you concluded, the difference between the two is very small. I think what you're really paying for might just be the exclusivity and privacy. Happy to say I now have four GUFs which I'll use next year to do this upgrade for a minimal charge.

You really should stop using a fisheye lens for your recordings lol

IMHO - there's an aspect of bribe's/cashbacks feeling dishonest at some level.... Its changing of course - but its a different market to the U.S. Credit cards already have a fee - interest. Paying for them too - doesn't make a huge amount of sense.

Americans don't pay their bills, so pay way more interest. Companies can afford higher rewards with all this revenue.

Frustrating as the gold card in USA allows you 4x spending etc UK its 1 to 1.5.

“So much behind” doesn’t sound right in English, because much refers to quantity, rather than distance. You should retitle it to “so far behind”, it will make much more sense. 🙏 👍

Can you do a video on the best options within europe? For credit card and travel rewards.

I have actually seen a targeted welcome bonus in the UK via browser cookies. For me it offered 25k MR Points for the Gold and an extra £10 cashback on the free Cashback card. It also came with a warning that it might disappear when I click off the website and to not rush any decisions when taking out credit. That offer has since disappeared, wasn't that generous anyways!

Use my referral link to get 45K MR points (vs 40K without a referral) + £400 Amex Travel credit when you spend £6,000 in the first 3 months with the card. Drop me an email at loyaltyllama@gmail.com for the referral link.

Get to the point

I just wanted to point out that the Lloyds and Santander World Elite cards don't include travel insurance - though with Santander you can purchase discounted insurance by having that card. With HSBC, travel insurance comes with being a Premier customer, you don't need to pay for the credit card.

I’ve got around 80,000 points, do you think it’s better for me to convert them? Or save them

Do you need to make 2 deliveroo orders to get the cashback or is one fine?

New subscribers here, nice video!!

Flying to MAN next month. Looking forward to this !

Hi . I just wanted to get your thoughts on Velocity Banking. Would it work in the UK with UK credit cards? I am up to my eyeballs in debt and have a poor credit rating. Keep up the great work ..i'm just going to subscribe!! Best wishes

I don't like Finnair on long haul flights. Business is quite expensive out of HEL and with the new seats it is almost impossible to find a comfortable position for good back support, as you also mentioned. If you want lounge access and checked luggage you will have to pay a premium price. However, despite being an expensive airline, the food selection is very limited, which is in my opinion a big problem, considering the fact that the Asian market is for Finnair very important and the competition is very tough. So, in conclusion, for me is a BIG no.

I have a question. You mentioned that you have both the Amex gold and platinum. I thought you aren’t able to get the welcome bonus if you have had an Amex within the past 2 years?

Thanks for the report! I like Finnair's new Business cabin, though I've only tried the new seat on short haul, they use their A350/A330 to LHR AMS and MUC, too. I like the smart "Nordic chic" design in the cabins and also at the airport. The "icy" glassware they use in Business Class was first designed in 1968. Yes sometimes you find really good long haul deals on Finnair, if you are flexible with routings. I once booked BUD-HEL-BKK-ARN to catch the best price in Business to Thailand from Europe that time.

Nice video, I’ve flown this business class once and I really liked it. Front row has some extra leg room which is nice. One correction also, the provided headphones do have ANC, which you can turn on by flicking the switch on the left earcup, visible at @5:36

Nice video 👍

Thanks for the video <3 and greetings from Finland

NEW? LOL this is now 2+ years old.. :) Not sure what you mean by "OneWorld elite" as such status does not exists :P

I don’t think what you said about the connecting flight is correct. If you have a connection at Helsinki, but you do not use the last, the airline may penalise you as far as I know. I came across some news about Lufthansa where they sued some passengers for not travelling on the last leg of the booked itinerary.

Just found your channel. I was searching for Virgin Atlantic Premium Economy, as we'll be flying LAX to LHR next month. Our return flight will be LHR to JFK on Delta. How did Delta Premium compare to VA? Thanks for posting your review!

I Love The Blueberry Juice Aboard.Great Video And Info

Thank you for helping me solidify my decision to get the barclaycard forward as my first credit card. How long did you have this card before upgrading to barclaycard avios? And how long after getting your first card were you able to get your first Amex card?

Hi, Thank you for providing the information. I am currently looking to build my credit score to qualify for a property purchase. Despite having a salary of £27,500, my applications for M&S, Barclaycard, and Tesco Bank have been declined. Could you please provide guidance on how I can improve my credit score and increase my eligibility for credit cards? Thank you very much for your assistance. Best regards, Iman

Thanks, indeed valuable tips! I have earned 660 avios points from survey! I have watched your other videos, great content and thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience 😊

Hey nice video! For the tier 1 card, it said to apply for it yoy must have lived in a uk adress for 2 years, but you mentioned you applied for is 6 months after reaching the UK. How did you do this?

Depends on if it’s your first card too right? I’ve seen that you can still get welcome bonus if you start with gold and then moved to BAPP card. But can’t do this vice versa

Have you heard you can start with Alex gold and get the welcome bonus and still get the welcome bonus with The BA plus when you switch?

Which Barclaycard avios do you have? The free or fee one?

I never knew about the e store! Game changer

What type of 787 variant was it?

You forgot to mention a major value driver for this card - Amex offers that routinely allow you to save multiples of the annual fee with various retailers across the UK, as well as major airlines and hotel chains. I routinely get offers like “spend £300 to get £100 back” on marriott, Hilton, IHG and other chains. Additionally, one of those offers is “Amex dining” that gives you 10-20% off hundreds of restaurants across the UK and abroad.

Are the bonus 20000 points (for £2000 spend in first 3 months) in addition to the standard 2 points per £1 spend? In other words, you'd accrue 20000 + 4000 = 24000 nectar points after 3 months, if you spent £2000?

Who spends £10 in an airport on food wtf

I am on the Metal plan, as I spend a lot of time outside the EEU, and it really saves me tons of FX fees. I received an email from Revolut talking about RevPoints. One of the things said in the email is this: "We’ve replaced cashback with a new points programme offering 1 point per €2 spent on your Revolut card as a Metal customer. Then, when you’re ready to convert them, get 1 air mile for every point. Or for discounts on holiday accommodation, you could, for example, exchange 10,000 points for up to €200 off your dream Stay." I just checked, and I am still receiving cashback for my card payments. As they are outside of the EEU, they're 1%, although there is a monthly cap equivalent to the price of the subscription, which is €18.99 in my case. I'm just wondering if I join the RevPoints program, will I lose my cashback earning abilities? Because that seems a lot more attractive to me right now.

BA is good in everything except food!

I have an Amex Platinum card and lounge access these cards offer is useless. Out of the 6 or 7 times I've tried to access a lounge, I've only managed to get in once. Save your money and don't bother if this is what you're after. They are a scam that you'll be very lucky to redeem.

Does that work in Ireland?🇮🇪

Hi there, sorry just a quick question... to use the flight lounge, do I need to have my flight with the company or even flying with a different company I can use the lounge having Amex ? thank you!

Have you ever booked any hotels through Avios hotels? it says you’re paying cash. You will get points after your stay. I haven’t used it before so I wanted to get some insight on it.

How do I know what airport has fast track? Go to fast track and ask?
