How do you get the 1 million?

From Step 1 to Step 6, it is 725k = 275k+25k+150k+150k+25k+100k.

On Step 8, you mention the 200k. However, it is the next year which is a repeated calculation with the Step 1 (275K).

Therefore, for the example you offer, the title is supposed to be “HOW I EARN 725K points and miles EACH YEAR” rather than “1 million miles”. 1 million miles are totally different with 725k points + miles.

I have a card with the ANZ bank I had 240,000 points with them. The points were only worth $725.00 AUD. I was going to Romania last year I was going to use the points for the airfare. I was only allowed to purchase the flights through the ANZ bank with my points. The were charging $700.00 more for the same flights that travel agencies here in Australia were selling them for. So I just cashed the points in. This article is great just wish we had the same rules here as they do in America. Cheers

Hey!

So one of my favorite things to do is wait until I find an extremely cheap flight to buy the ticket. Would a travel credit card still be recommended?

I guess I’m just wondering if it would be worth it to me to spend time racking up all these miles if I could find the same flight for less than the miles would be worth?

Would it be better for me to get a card that allows the points to be used like cash and put this toward the cheap tickets? If so do you have any recommendations for this process?

Thank you!

Super helpful post, Matt! The only thing I’m wondering about is using tax payments to earn points. I’m self-employed (freelancer) and, according to my accountant as well as some web research I’ve done I need to pay my taxes quarterly rather than once a year. That would make it harder to earn more points at once. Are any of you guys in the same situation?

It still seems like you were able to put a decent amount of personal expenses on these credit cards to get that many points. Can you give us a ball park amount of how much money you would have to spend on these cards to get that many points accumulated?

Are you aware of any such card in Canada? I have already 5 cards and at most get 1.5X points but never seen any multipliers like you mentioned… so it just not happening. It took 10 years to get to 250K points… it’s something but I aint’t moving fast like this.

Can you explain how to transfer your credit when canceling a card? Is it simply just asking the representative you talk to when canceling your card to move it to another card you have from that same bank?
