Tumblr’s website isn’t made for what I want to do.

Switching over to Travelpod since it can track me a bit better

Before we switch over there, let me tell you how I’m able to travel to India and Australia!

Credit Cards and Flyer points and promotion points!

The first card below, Citi AA I applied back in March. It had a promotion of “spend 4,000 in 6 months and you get 75,000 A points”

simple, buy $1000 coins from the US mint, deposit it in your bank account and use that to pay off your credit card!

what does $1000 in coins look like?

That’s $1000 in $1 coins, 19lbs

The Citi AA got me my flight from Dulles to Delhi, and Melbourne back home. All I had to pay was taxes and fees which turned out to be around 450ish. The 2 american express got me 50,000pts and 75,000 pts. used some to pay off my carbon bike. The rest of the points paid for my ticket from Delhi to Melbourne. Which turned out to be around 400 after using the remainder of my points. the Hyatt gave me 2 free nights with the purchase of ANYTHING! yes, anything, like a stick of bubble gum. I’m staying in the Park Hyatt my last night in Melbourne and its FREE! The priority select card I got through the platnium AMEX. Get’s me into most airport lounges around the world. Found out London doesnt use that…. And poof! I just saved over $1000 that would’ve been airfare!
