I generally don’t like talking to human beings (preferring to do everything online), but if you’re applying for a lot of credit cards, eventually you are going to need to speak to a representative. This isn’t a necessarily a bad thing, as I’ll outline in the post below. Calling credit card reconsideration lines puts you in touch with people who can extend you credit (and thus approve you for new cards) when the computer algorithm dictates otherwise.
Real Life Award Booking: New Zealand and Japan, Part 2 – Booking the flights
In the first half of this Real Life Award Booking, I outlined how you can earn enough miles for a round trip business class tickets to Europe in just a few months. For an extra few thousand miles per person, I helped my friend book a ticket from Washington DC to Auckland, New Zealand, and then back to the US through Tokyo, Japan. It costs 107,500 miles plus taxes and fees per person, with TWO long haul legs in business class. In this post I’ll outline how you can do that – right now! Or later…
Real Life Award Booking: New Zealand and Japan, Part 1 – Getting the points
For the past couple months, I’ve been helping a friend plan a big trip to New Zealand using frequent flier miles. I helpd out at the beginning, but he did most of the work in the end – it’s not too bad once you get the hang of it! In this post I’ll outline how he earned the miles, and then in Part 2 I’ll discuss how he strung together New Zealand and Japan into one award trip. Frankly, I have traveling envy – I’d love to book this trip for myself!
Credit Card Application Strategy: Applying for Multiple Cards on the Same Day
The biggest game changer for me when I realized I wanted to get into the points game was finding out I could apply for multiple credit cards and receive multiple bonuses at once. In this post, I’ll quickly review why that doesn’t hurt your credit score as much as you might think, and a general strategy for a multi-card application. This is a fairly long post, so feel free to check out the summary at the end, or just read the section titles.
