(9:37) LoL this is literally the same conversation I have with my Player 2.
Then Player 2 says I think you should focus more on work and increasing your income than trying to cop these credit card deals. Womp womp…
Sebby I love you.
Also, do you think you can make a video on award travel? Talking about some of the best mile redemptions. Like the 75k Round Trip Business on ANA to Japan. Or the 110k first class flight on ANA using Virgin Atlantic miles. And maybe some Round The World redemptions?
Sebby, do you know how can we ask for return offers from AMEX?
Sebastian :😡
I clicked the video cause you had Mandy on the cover . Unknown to your subscribers, you used her as bait!!!!! Tricky , very tricky , I’m ONTO YOU 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🙃
Thanks for the great video!!Can you comment on AUs, How does/would it affects their Chase 5/24 status?Does it block an AU from their own sign up bonus for a card where they are currently/already an AU if they wanted to apply for their own card?and how to rectify if so… with an eye one 2 player set up??For example an AU on an INK Biz preferred or a Chase Marriott personal..
I want to get down to the real questions: What razor does Sebby use? What does he moisturize with?
lol @ 9:38
Does Mandy have a twin sister?
Like the videos. Noticed your spreadsheet and I would like to start one for my cards. Could you do a video on you xls tracking? Thanks for the content.
Player One God Mode here.
Any idea when citi will reopen the prestige for new applicants?
Are you Ok??? there was no buffet, or gambling or going to the bar references . Im worried about you =P but other than thank great video and take on player 2
What's a good airline card if I do a mix of domestic and international with the majority in Asian countries? Mainly Hong Kong, Korea and Japan?
Can you do a video for people considering an SPG card before they stop accepting applications?
I recently got into trouble with Amex and was denied my 60,000 Platinum points because I had a family member who also got a few Amex cards & we Transferred those welcome offer points to my travel partner. Amex said due to the transfer of points from my family member cause them to withhold and deny my platinum welcome offer points and they didn’t even let me know until I inquired about it after hitting my $5000 min spend. It Really sucks.
I need to convince my fiancé to do the 2 player strategy!
Hi Sebby, I recently asked a question in Fico forum about techniques on opening up more cards in quickest way. Some people mentioned about AAoA scores problem if I apply too much within a short time frame. I researched AAoA and I know it is about the house rent thing. I think if you make videos about AAoA scores would be helpful for many viewers as many of us do not know about it and it seems like it will be a problem if we are gardening in high speed.
For someone who is still relatively new to the game, this video was like a compressed crash course! My wife and I have only scratched the surface. We live in Singapore, but have kept our US credit scores above 800. Both of us have never applied for an AmEx Card before. We are planning to fly Delta this June and she has a 75,000 mile offer, does that seem compelling enough to pull the trigger?
If I upgrade the Ascend to Aspire after one year, do I get the aspire sign up bonus? Or do I have to cancel after one year and apply for aspire to get the sign up nonus?
I wish they would relaunch the Ritz card, with 100k points signup bonus and no 5/24… that would be awesome
That’s cool you and your sister have this together
Is it possible to do Player 1 and Player 2 with Discover IT cards by alternating years in order to get 10% off each year?
My player 2 didn't care about credit cards at all until I became well informed. She still has no desire to run a large set up so what we been doing is I get the cards we split the spend to make sure we hit large sign up bonus. She currently an authorized user on a few of my cards as we build a setup.
How did Mandy get a retention offer for her Platinum Card? I recently called AMEX to ask about retention offers on my Platinum Card, and they pretty much told me no luck with that fella! They said the card was loaded with perks, therefore there was no reason to offer me a retention offer if I wanted to cancel my card. I waited an entire year to see if they'd offer me some sort of retention, but got nothing…
Do balance tranfers count towards the bonus spending limit?
Only did an additional gold to get my GF a global entry credit
Mind freaking blown!
looks like we have to get all the cards
@asksebby, can you advice how i can do this if my wife is a foreigner (ukraine)? Still working on getting her immigrated. Her country don't use credit score so i am wondering where to start
Do you lose your status on delta if you downgrade delta gold to Delta blue basic card?
My P-2 and I have: 2x IHG(retired) + 2x IHG + 2x Hyatt (retired) + 1x SPG Business + 1x Hilton Aspire + 1x Hilton Ascend, we are LOVING the value we get out of it all. 9x in total for the TLDR.
Does your wife have to have a job to get these cards?
hi sebby…wondering if u got my info on the credit card consultation…pls help as i would like to know which card/card system to use to accrue miles/points…also, do these free hotel stay that comes with the anniv of a hotel card come in certificates? do they expire? a video on more info for hotel redemption would b great
Debby can you do an updated video of this in a 2020 setup?
thank you for this
Now that citi sucks and if someone doesn’t have boa preferred rewards what do you suggest for non- trifecta player two?
