"Hey bum but how do you get so many points?" a question that haunts me, and my answer is always the same: strategy.
In this article:
Certainly maximize the accumulation of points through "introduce a friend" promotions such as the one from American Express, but also from the various loyalty programs, e.g., fio to Dec. 20 there is ITA's one that gives away 10,000 Volare points.
Then there is the hunt for bonuses, multipliers, and partnerships crosses, e.g. every time I stay in a Marriott I also accumulate points with Emirates or each run with Lyft turns into Hilton Honors points for me.
However, I have never hidden that I also exploit the practice of "buying points to book," I have talked about it several times, and the very first video on the YouTube channel told about how I booked Singapore First Class using the points I bought Of Virgin Atlantic's Flying Club program.
Because at the end of the year my rules change slightly.
I always say you buy to book, not to bank. That is, you take advantage of the bonus when you already have a goal and want to have enough points available to redeem the goal. It doesn't matter whether you are talking about plane tickets or hotel rooms.
At the end of the year, however, things change slightly. The reason is that all programs have a maximum annual limit of points that can be bought, so Jan. 1, a new collection opens and we start from scratch. Simply put, I can buy points on December 31 and as many on January 1, thus having the opportunity to maximize a large accumulation in a short period of time.
