Spoiler Alert This is a true story, facts and character really existed and lived in the charming west coast of Liguria. In the DNA of every Ligurian is the desire to spend as little as possible, I only added that of traveling the best possible always spending as little as possible.
Since I opened The Flight Club website. I have revealed almost all my secrets about the accumulation of points, on the use of points and how through the use of credit cards I can enable me to travel around the world e Staying mooching in places like Diseneyland or New York City.
The rule of my success
In this article:
For years I have focused all my spending, personal and business, only on credit cards that allow me to accumulate points every time I use them. The goal is to turn these points into unique experiences: airline tickets, hotel stays, economic benefits, and any other benefit I can get for free or without spending a euro more than I would normally spend. It is not about telling fairy tales or bragging, the travel reviews and experiences paid for with points are all published and since I put my face to it with my full name, If you need a friend to accompany you in this world. you can write to me at any time.
I am one who lives as cashless as possible and, indeed, would like to pay only by electronic currency, and of course in the company we have always accepted electronic payments.
When people ask me "Matteo how do you do it...?" I simply say that everything I do has only one goal, to achieve an otherwise unattainable benefit because I would never spend 2000€ per night to stay in the Maldives, however, if I can go there without paying then it's a completely different story.
American Express Business Gold
Today I want to talk about the paper with which it all started, the one that has been in my wallet for years and first made me understand the concept of "two birds with one stone." Paying an invoice by wire transfer, check, via PayPal or a corporate credit card costs us the same, indeed. Using a credit card allows us to gain days of currency and better manage account balances, knowing exactly when the charge will arrive instead of randomly versus when the various transactions go through.
The features of an American Express business credit card are quite similar to those of a personal card, of course the requirements for obtaining it change, but the substance is all the same. You must be of legal age, resident in Italy and have a current account (including at the Post Office), have no tax problems and have a company (sole proprietorship, corporation or other form) that has been active for at least 12 months and a turnover of less than 10 mln euros.
Free card for one year and then deductible expense
The fee is free for the first year (12 months after issue). From the second year on, the fee will be €14.50 per month, for a total of €174 per year. The fee is fully deductible as a business cost, an additional advantage over personal cards.
The MONSTRE Welcome Offer
Like personal cards, corporate cards also promise new customers a welcome bonus; indeed, there is no comparison between what is offered today to new customers of personal gold card than the monstrous welcome gift for those who become a new American Express Business Gold cardholder.
Until next Feb. 28 in the face of a expenditure of 15 thousand euros in the first six months From the issuance of the card you can get 250k membership rewards points, enough to book a round-trip ticket to fly in Singapore Airlines' splendid first class, stay 20 days in Bali or fly the whole family to New York without paying anything but taxes.
Getting the bonus is simple take advantage of this link and apply for the card from the comfort of your home PC and within a few weeks start using the card for all business expenses-from bills to gasoline, from F24s to supplier invoices. Every transaction counts toward the achievement of the welcome bonus.
Accumulating Membership Rewards points
The best thing about MR points is that they are personal, the cardholder accumulates them, so by paying bills that you would have to pay anyway you can accumulate points for free, points that the Amex holder can then combine with those he earns on his personal cards, and use for personal purposes without any problem.
I have been traveling with my family for years using the points I accumulate daily, taking advantage of bonuses such as the introduce a friend offer that allows you to accumulate up to 300k points for free each year.
