1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: I'm eight five five, five, one one three five you 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 1: can context to show any time. Is anyone else like me? Okay? Right, okay, okay, 3 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: So I guess today you can get four times to 4 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: the points on your dunk in order, one of the 5 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: Leap Day rewards promotions. Almost everyone's doing one today. So 6 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: if you're going to someplace, say hey, what I get 7 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: for free? It's Leap Day. Basically I'm working for free today, 8 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: So what the hell do I get? I don't even 9 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: know if that's true. I mean I suppose they base 10 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: I mean the month. It is usually twenty eight days, 11 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: and now it's twenty nine, So I mean, I suppose 12 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: it is kind of a free day. They should just 13 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: give it. We should not have to work. Is it 14 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: calculated into them? 15 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 2: So? 16 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: Does that mean that I just take a total like 17 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 1: high more on right now, but which I'm I'm moro 18 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: on but not high is? So? Is it three hundred 19 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: and sixty six days this year? 20 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:50,319 Speaker 2: Then? 21 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: Yes? So it would be three sixty Oh then where 22 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: this is a free day? Forget about it? Have these 23 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: conversations before today? 24 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Like this could have been 25 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 3: done yesterday and we wouldn't be here today, and. 26 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: So then these guys are like four times the Dunken points, 27 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: and like, wonder how many Dunkin points I have? Because 28 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: someone looked I was passing my phone around for people 29 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: to order breakfast a couple of weeks. Last week wasn't 30 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: Valentine's Day whatever it was, And and you know you 31 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,559 Speaker 1: have a lot of points. I have eighteen thousand Dunkin points. 32 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: That's a lie because I just don't pay any attention. 33 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: Like I order every morning. It's like, let me tell 34 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: you something in the morning when I'm doing like the 35 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: process is exactly the same every morning. Alan goes off 36 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: at four, I hit snows once. I won't go through 37 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: the whole thing with you. But I do the same 38 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: thing every single day, and it's automatic to the point 39 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: where I'll order my coffee as and walking out the door, 40 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: so that when I get to the office, I walk 41 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: by the place. Get it. It happens in my head. 42 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: I don't even think about it. Yeah, yeah, So I 43 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: guess it would be out of the order of my 44 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: process to then go, well, how much are the points 45 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,279 Speaker 1: and how do I pay with points? And one am I? Anyway? 46 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: So I have a lot of points. It turns out, 47 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: but this is no more present than in my airline 48 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: miles point oh. 49 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 4: Now that one I got issues, So I put. 50 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: Everything on my credit card, every single thing. Anything that 51 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: credit card will accept, I take it. And then usually 52 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: if I can afford it, then I'll just pay the 53 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: credit card. So even if I have the cash or 54 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: the money, I'll put on the credit site. I want 55 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: the miles so then I can travel for free. But 56 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: here's the thing. If you ever try to use miles 57 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: for anything to fly anywhere, not yet, if you ever 58 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: tried to do this, and I'm sure somebody from the 59 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: airline can explain this, but basically, like they'll say, okay, 60 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: first class round chap International costs one hundred and twenty 61 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: thousand miles. I'm making this up. On American airlines, they'll 62 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: say this, But then there's only like two seats on 63 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: the airplane that actually represent that point total, and it 64 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: goes up from there. And then god forbid you try 65 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: and use miles to go someplace like in a month, 66 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: forget about it. You can do it, but now that 67 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty thousand miles would be like four 68 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: hundred thousand miles or five hundred thousand miles because well 69 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: it's last minute and YadA, YadA, YadA, so they make 70 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: it hard. It's never as advertised. So I have a 71 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: ridiculous I'm not even kidding. I have seven figures of 72 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: airline miles because I've ccumulated over like twenty years that 73 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: don't expire. I guess them okay, but here's my point. 74 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: I'm cheap about free. I'm cheap about free. It's free, 75 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 1: but here's the thing. So let's say it's supposed to 76 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: be one hundred and twenty thousand miles first class round 77 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: trip international. That's awesome, right. I could go on a 78 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: lot of trips that way if I planned way way way, 79 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: way way ahead. But if I call and I say, hey, 80 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: I want to go some places six months and they go, 81 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: it's three hundred thousand miles. Yeah, it's free, but that's 82 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: double the amount it's supposed to be. So and in 83 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: my mind, I'm like, I'm like, well that's a bad deal. 84 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna burn double more than double the amount of miles. 85 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: So I just sugguess what I do. I just don't go, 86 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: which is stupid, I know, but like I guess I 87 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: want I don't want to get ripped off for free. 88 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 4: Free right, man, You've earned it, You've earned these points. 89 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: But I've earned the right to go twice, not once. 90 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: That's true, you know what I mean? That's true. 91 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 4: Like it makes sense. 92 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, when I'm looking 93 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 5: at my finances, I'm like, well, this is free. 94 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: This is not to the bare minimum when coffee. Right. 95 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. It's not like I then go 96 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: and spend a gazillion dollars on that same first class ticket. 97 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: I just don't go. But in my mind, I'm like, 98 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: that is a ripoff. I'm supposed to be able to 99 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: do this with these miles, and now you're telling me 100 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: I can only do half of that because blah blah 101 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. And I didn't. I didn't 102 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: order that. I didn't get the ticket, you know, eighteen years. 103 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: I didn't know I wanted to go to Egypt in 104 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: twenty seven years, so I didn't get the ticket. But 105 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: is that No one else is like this, No one 106 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: else is like you look at this and you go, well, 107 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: I got to make sure I use this economical only you. 108 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't think that much you just got to 109 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 4: live right. 110 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 3: You put a lot of audits before and purchasing anything. 111 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you've never you've never really really really wanted 112 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: something so badly that you overpaid for it, and then 113 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: later we're like, god, I that was not worth it 114 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: because that would be my thing? Is that? So I 115 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: spend an insane amount of miles to go do this trip. 116 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: Then I come back and be like, man, I could 117 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: have I could have done two of those trips if 118 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: I had just planned ahead or not been an idiot. 119 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 4: No, why it's free. 120 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 5: It's technically free, like you are just spending, you're paying. 121 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: But it is free because if you think about how 122 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: much times. 123 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 3: He ends up paying for it in the end, because 124 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 3: he's spending double than what he should be. 125 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: How long does it take to get to think about this? 126 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: I mean, technically, if a dollar is a point, and 127 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: I know you can get points a lot of different ways. 128 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: And trust me, I'm not spending money like that. I 129 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: don't have that many miles because I spent that much money. 130 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: But I remember, this is accumulated over a large long 131 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: period of time. You know certain things are double the points, 132 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: and certain this and that, and I think so I 133 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: have a lot of miles, but think about how long 134 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: it takes to I had to spend a fair amount 135 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: of money on that credit card to get to that 136 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: many miles. So it's not like it's free free. 137 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 5: But you were spending the money on the credit card 138 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,119 Speaker 5: for stuff you were going to pay for anyway. Sure 139 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 5: you paid a little interest maybe if you want to 140 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 5: go that technical, but it's free miles that you can 141 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 5: accumulate again by spending more money on stuff you were 142 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,239 Speaker 5: going to already buy. Yeah, so just take the trip 143 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 5: pop up like you gotta buy. 144 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 3: It costs like one hundred thousand miles to go to 145 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 3: a trip, but for him, it's gonna cost them five 146 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 3: hundred thousand miles because he's doing it not in the 147 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 3: right way, you know what I'm saying, Like, if he's 148 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 3: gimitting more miles than he should be, right. 149 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: So that means I could go on and they're granted 150 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: didn't wind up going nowhere, but I could go on 151 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: double Yeah, here's the thing. If it's if it's if 152 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: it's his one hundred and twenty thousand miles, and then 153 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 1: I call the airline and they're like, ah, it's one 154 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy okay, okay, all right, but when I 155 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: call them inevitably it's like four hundred thirds, it's like 156 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: and I'm like, that's that's I could take somebody else 157 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: with him for that for free. And so what happens 158 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: is and I look at Trump they don't expire, so 159 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: it's not if they expired, I guess it's like, well 160 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: then screw it, they got me. I just got to 161 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: use all of them. But most of these don't. So 162 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: it's like and I get it. I get it, like 163 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: I'm stingy about free, I'm cheap about free, but it 164 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: bothers me, and so I don't do it. The airline 165 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: loves you, friend, what. 166 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 5: Is the dame plan here? You're gonna you're going to 167 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 5: continue to collect them for years? 168 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: And the game plan is and somebody was like, look 169 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: for last minute deals. The problem is there aren't typically 170 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: last minute deals using miles because they don't want to 171 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: give it to you for free. They don't want to 172 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: make it easy for you to use these things, right, 173 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: And I trust me, I've even I even like interact 174 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: with people on TikTok who this is their experts at this, 175 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: Like there are people on there who their whole platform 176 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: is figuring out ways to game the system with points, 177 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: and it can be very complicated. You can take the points, 178 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: transfer them to this partner and then over here, and 179 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: then transfer over here, and then buy the same ticket 180 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: on another airline using using a VPN into another country. 181 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: And I meant, oh, if I bought the same ticket 182 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: now we're in Switzerland. So then people go in and 183 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: they change their look. I mean, it's wild, and so 184 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: maybe that's what I have to do. But like, unless 185 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: you call the airline whenever they release the schedule and 186 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,559 Speaker 1: it's a weird number it's like one hundred and forty 187 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: six days out, you are not going to get as advertised. 188 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: And I don't plan like that, all right, So maybe 189 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: that's what I need to do. It set the reminder 190 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: and be like, Okay, I want to go on trip 191 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: next April, So one hundred and fifty three days out 192 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: of whatever it is from April, then I'm going to 193 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: call the airline and book it and I'll get the 194 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: best possible deal. 195 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 4: That's right. 196 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: But that means I gotta know what I'm going to 197 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: do in a year, and I don't know. 198 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 4: I think you can plan that, especially a big trip. 199 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 4: Bring that travel blog back, get out there. And do 200 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 4: you also just hold on to gift cards? Are you there? 201 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 5: That's me. 202 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: Card hoarder. 203 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 3: Thing is like I don't like my wallet only carries 204 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 3: so much, you know what I'm saying. 205 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: I don't have rooms all these gift cards. 206 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 3: But then I'll get gift cards as gifts like whatever 207 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 3: home Depot, I get a lot, and I'll be like, well, 208 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 3: I could use it now, but I can also combine 209 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 3: them all for a big purchase, so I'll just go 210 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 3: to the store and buy it with my money. And 211 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 3: I still have these gift cards and I still haven't 212 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 3: bought the big purchase that I'm looking for yet. 213 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's crazy. No, Or I'll go to 214 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: the place that I won't have the gift card, like 215 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: I'll be there, yeah, you know, And it's like, right, well, 216 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: I get I'll use it next time because I'm already here, 217 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: and like we don't have purses, right man, I mean, 218 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: I don't carry the whole stack of gift cards everywhere I. 219 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 4: Go, right, I guess. 220 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: But then there's Kiki. I gave her a gift card 221 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: in November, and what she doesn't know it may have 222 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: been before that. But what she doesn't realize is the 223 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: Sephoor gift card I gave her. When she finally opens him, 224 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: I get an email that says she opened it. She 225 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: opened it three days ago. So you are no better 226 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: because literally I get this email that says, Kiki, just 227 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: look at your gift. And I'm like, I gave that 228 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: gift to her in November, so she just got around 229 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: and looking at it when she is not confusing if 230 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: you know Kiki, because she has twenty eight thousand unready email, 231 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: she probably just realized I gave her a birthday president. 232 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 1: She probably thought I did not give her a birthday 233 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: present at all, and she found it was like, oh 234 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 1: he did. That's nice though. 235 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 5: No, No, in my defense, I get a gift card, 236 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 5: I wait till it's something that I want and I'm 237 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 5: gonna use it. Like I'm absolutely gonna use it. 238 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 4: I can't. 239 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 5: God makes a gift card too, like I just yes, yeah, 240 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 5: and I get it. 241 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: There's some places that are like a home depot, You're right, 242 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,719 Speaker 1: can me more expensive And if you're going to go 243 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: buy a refrigerator or something, or I don't know, you 244 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: need a new appliance or whatever. And if you had 245 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: several hundred dollars were saved up over a couple of 246 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: different holidays, then you know, then then it makes a 247 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: bigger impact. I get that. I just I want to 248 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: I'm cheap about free man. I don't want to get 249 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 1: ripped off. 250 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 4: Life is short, right. 251 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: Hey, Grizel de Blanco, how you doing? Good morning, Griselda. 252 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: What's going on? What's up? Fred? It's not that complicated. 253 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: You're over analyzing it? What do you mean, shocker? Well, 254 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: this is what I do, all right. 255 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 6: What I mean is you basically need to earn and 256 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 6: burn because airlines the value points, so what they were 257 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 6: worth three years ago might not be today or tomorrow. 258 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: So for example, one thing is you got to look 259 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: at the calendar charts. 260 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 6: Filter down if you want first class, so United has 261 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 6: a great chart, American has a great chart. Filter it 262 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 6: down and say you want to see book on points 263 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 6: thirty days out, and the calendar. 264 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: Will tell you how many miles. 265 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 6: So for example, I'm taking family of fives to Japan 266 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 6: for Christmas next year. 267 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: All on points. Oh right, but that's next year. It's 268 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: like you're you're set right, you know you're doing that 269 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: next year, So you already have it planned. My problem 270 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: is I don't think like that, Like I want to 271 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: go there in a month, and then I it's like 272 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: eight million points. I'm like, it says one hundred and 273 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: twenty on the website. You're going to the wrong website. 274 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: I got to go check out seats that arrow? 275 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 4: All right? 276 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: And what's it called seats that arrow? Okay? 277 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 4: All right? 278 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: If you get people viruses for this, I will never 279 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: forgive you. All right, Well that's on them. They can 280 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: google it, all right. 281 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 6: Okay, So you're going to filter what type of points 282 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 6: you have because are they American? 283 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: Are they AMEX? 284 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 6: Are they City Bank? 285 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 1: Are they United? All right? 286 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 4: So you can they'll they'll. 287 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: Help you filter what type of points you have. 288 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 6: You put what airline you're flying out of, and then 289 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 6: it'll show you what kind of deals are out there. 290 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 6: All right, So that's what I I want to go, 291 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 6: you know, I want to go here. No, that might 292 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 6: not work, you know, but if you're flexible. So for example, US, 293 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 6: we were looking at Australia Japan for December. I basically 294 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 6: compared who had the better deals and we went with Japan. 295 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 6: And for me, it's more complicated cause I'm booking. 296 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 1: Five tickets, you are harder. 297 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 6: But if you're booking one, you can go anywhere first class. 298 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: Well that's the thing is I will go anywhere. Like 299 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: it's there's one hundred places I would go. No, I mean, honestly, 300 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: I have to go to this website because like if 301 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: you were to tell me in thirty days I can 302 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: go to North Korea on one hundred and twenty thousand points, 303 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: I'd probably go just one time, just to check it out. 304 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: I'm just saying I don't know, I don't care where. 305 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, like I'll go anywhere one time, but 306 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: just I got to figure out the place that. Thank 307 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: you for that. And then then and then look. 308 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 6: Okay when it comes to the transfer partners, So the 309 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 6: reason why sometimes okay. So for example, United is paired 310 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 6: up with JL, which is Japan Airlines. So United might 311 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 6: be charging me one hundred and fifty thousand first class miles, 312 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 6: but Japan, if it's a Saber award, they're only going 313 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 6: to charge me like eighty thousand book I might pay 314 00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 6: more in Texas. 315 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: So and when you look. 316 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 6: At some of these websites, like you said, those travel bloggers, 317 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 6: they're going to tell you this transfers here. That transfer 318 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 6: is there, you know, so then it's like you just 319 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 6: it takes some time. But I've been doing this for 320 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 6: like two or three years and it's not that bad. 321 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 7: I'm gonna hire you said, ye, here you go, Fred, 322 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 7: you could go March fifth from o Hair to Tokyo 323 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 7: for eighty thousand first class points the. 324 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: American if you have American points.

This is interesting. Have a good day. 329 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: I don't need I need it. I need it. This 330 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: is what I needed. But a lot of people do this. 331 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: They're texting. I understand somebody else is here. I'm with you, Fred, 332 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: I yeah, maybe a lot of people are the same way. 333 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: I saved all my bed paths and beyond cards. Then 334 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: they closed. You know a pilot, Fredd, you can fly 335 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: for free. Eh tried that.

Is in a different room for you? 429 00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: Weren't allowed to sit in the same room. 430 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 5: Oh, I was in a different room, like a different studio, 431 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 5: and I had to walk in to do the entertainment reports, 432 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 5: like in and out, and so then I was only 433 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 5: allowed to come in for the reports and that whole. 434 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can you imagine if we treat the people 435 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: that way now, I mean, I think so, I think 436 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: it might actually add some character. He had to come 437 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: in from the other room. Well, but that's because that's 438 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: not because he can't come in here. That's because that's 439 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: where the other buttons are. He has to be in 440 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: there paying attention or something. Oh my god. If I 441 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: if I treated then, if I well, he'd be okay, 442 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: he's fine. But most people if I treated the next 443 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: generation in the way that I was treated, and it 444 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 1: put hair on my chest. I didn't have a lot 445 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: at the time. It made me. It made me want 446 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: it a little more. But we can't do that anymore. 447 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: I need to be the old guy saying that I cannot. 448 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: But I love Benjamin, but damn it, if no one 449 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 1: else can come, he's still going to be here, right. 450 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: That's how he works. It's the reason we take all 451 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 1: these classes all wine. Oh yeah, I'm not allowed to 452 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: tell ask some movie likes to shift. You want to 453 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: keep it, want to keep your ship, You want to 454 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: keep your shift. Bet you know what to do. No. 455 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 1: I remember my first radio job Dallas, Texas. I was 456 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: in college. I was doing weekend overnights. I had no 457 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,479 Speaker 1: business doing that. Even it was one of those things 458 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: where I pushed the buttons. I wasn't even allowed to talk. 459 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: I ran the Hollywood Hamilton Weekend, which I later in 460 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: my career got to host one time. So that was 461 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: kind of wild. That was like a full circle moment. 462 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,959 Speaker 1: Shout out to Hollywood Hamilton anyway. So and then like 463 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: one time they're like, fine, you know what, if you 464 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: come in at three or if you come in at four, 465 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: from four to five, you can talk. You can play 466 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: music and talk. But then from five o'clock push the 467 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: button in Hollywood Hamilton, don't do anything else. So then 468 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: that's how it started. And then one night it was 469 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: come in and do midnight to five am on a 470 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: Monday morning, so Sunday night, Monday morning, and I was 471 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: so excited because that was the time that the morning 472 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: show was going to come in on the radio station. 473 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: At the time, JB and Sandy wear their names God 474 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,479 Speaker 1: bless them.
