Funny - I just came across this - and happen to agree wholeheartedly. I don't know - he just comes across ditsy, phony, fake, and a bit stupid. I don't believe for a second he self funds his trips. His folks appear to have money.

Anyone that travels - knows you have to spend money to get points.

1) Even if you do targeted spending only - you're still spending the money to get the points. (Spend $500 at Saks and get 25,000 bonus points) etc.

2) Even if you sign up for new cards all the time to get the bonuses. (I've done it 3 times this year - British Airways - spend $5000 and get 100,000 avios points. Virgin - Spend $3000 and get 75,000 avios - and so on and so forth. There's no way he's flown thousands of times based on the points he racks up from new cards - and according to the views count on his youtube channel - there's no way he's earning enough to fly. I believe him when he says he is not sponsored by the airlines - but I do not believe his folks don't help him out. (That's not a bad thing - but don't go on air and say you're independent). And he has to have the money to spend to get those bonus reward points.

I also think he's somewhat of a hypocrite. He's very liberal and gay - yet adores airlines who are from countries that don't treat women the same as men - and have anti gay laws. Yet when he talks about EL AL Israel Airlines - he goes all silent with an "I don't want to talk about the politics" - meanwhile in Israel women are executives - and they have Gay pride parades there every year. He's also commented on the environment and takes the liberal position on climate change - yet is on a plane every week ... for fun. I hate hypocrisy - either be up front or leave it out of the commentary.

Also - on a more judgmental - personal note, I find Oskar to be terribly on the annoying side too. A self proclaimed school drop out (his own words) - looking to travel - screams "loser" and unproductive to me. I frankly don't believe their travels earn them income, instead it's just 2 kiddies who want to have all the fun in life with no responsibilities or jobs. They both come across rather stupid - how they talk - act - just reads ditsy and unemployable unless it's a gender studies company looking for the ultra prissy left wing type. There are a lot of them - and it's destroying the world.
