Nightline interview on using FF miles
 

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong spot. I'm on my iPhone and it's impossible to search. Just got done watching a Nightline segment with some young kid named Bryce bragging on credit cards And free flights. Flying New York to Fort Lauderdale for zero dollars And earning dining points .

That'll stop a lot of this before anything else will.

If all he's getting is NYC-FLL he's not doing it right.

Heck, DL sells their Amexes with the promise of a free domestic RT, so something small like that will probably be seen as good by the CCs.

Nightline
 

Did this originally air April 14? I caught the episode tonight. Reminded me of FTG appearing on Nightline Nov 2011.

I bet his website just received a huge surge in traffic.

Prolly. I just Went to his site and he's hawking a WN companion pass advice as well as an award booking service

Melodramatic and poorly researched segment.

"Free" luxury car service to the airport - Uber credits

"Literally free" domestic first class flight - Barclaycard Arrival redemption (40,000 points, "a savings of $570" :confused:)

Free checked bag and priority check-in (with misleading B-roll of Sky Priority luggage tag) - Delta AMEX

Extra points on dining - Rewards Network (reported too narrowly as United's dining program)

We need poorly researched shows like this. The stuff we do is a zero sum game, the less of us, the better it is.

I tried watching the video and had to turn it off. People that think they are ultra cool by "traveling hacking" with "23 credit cards" usually come off sounding like tools.

omg, found it on Yahoo! News

I love our game, moreover, I love how it's perceived by everyone else. ^

its not about how many cards you have its about using them wisely

expand please?

well i can not say i love how others perceive the game, personally it's a delicate art in a form of risk similar to other investments such as ipo's, stocks, venture capital, etc.

i feel it is really sad when someone is so excited and feel the "need" voice their findings on art to the whole "world" so they can gain a little recognition...i have personally made that mistake due to lack of understanding and had to face the consequence of those actions, since then, i have become much more enlightened to the "art'es" :D...if only others could recognize that the actual opportunity cost to expose their findings is far greater that retaining those findings. @:-)

agreed ^

I went to Bryce's website, but couldn't find the information on how I could book a $570 plane ticket for 40,000 Barclay Arrival Points as the story claims he did...
