More LIVE questions answered and Greg’s weirdly deep voice

6

Yesterday, Nick and I were live on Youtube with our first weekly “Ask us anything” show (Click play above to watch the recording).  One thing we learned from our first show is that we need to answer questions faster.  We only managed to get to a handful of questions before the hour was up.  We’ll do better next time, but for now here are answers to many of the questions that were asked via YouTube Live…

Answer: YES

The answer to the following questions is “yes”…

  • Hi Nick, is Greg a good boss? Be honest.
  • Does Nick make his bed everyday?
  • When this is over do you think we will see the very generous promotions from hotel companies like we did in 2008-2010?
  • Any concerns with banks tightening algorithms for Bust Out risk on new cards?
  • Is it wise to book a trip for 4(family) NOW that prices are down (ewr-lax june29th – 7/7th ) $1330 vs $2800 from last year ? with new cancel polices from airlines?
  • Last week you said to jump on the Citi Premier bonus as you are sure it’ll go away. Do you still believe that since a week changes a lot these days?
  • Grrrrrreat job Carrie!
  • More hats!

Answer: NO

The answer to the following questions is “no”…

  • Greg… Do you keep closed credit cards and gift cards as a memento or trophy from this hobby?
  • Greg, can you tell us your secret gift card liquidation method?

Answer: MAYBE

The answer to the following questions is “maybe”…

  • Do you feel that Delta will change the requirements for achieving Diamond and other tiers for 2021?
  • What do you think of banks killing affiliates for most cards? Are we about to see significantly lower sign up bonuses?
  • Greg and Nick, you mentioned in a recent post that Amex is giving more time to meet minimum spend requirements. Is Chase doing the same? If so, for all products or just some? [Answer: No published extension (yet), but you may get an extension by asking]
  • With airlines facing such uncertainty, do you think a wise course of action would be to keep credit card points and spend down reserve airline miles?
  • Worth it to get Amex Bonvoy Biz for the extra 15 night of elite credit even if not eligible for sign up bonus?

You mentioned you are using Zoom to record the frequent miler weekly sessions, and possibly the live session as well. I use Zoom a lot and they have a feature called “virtual background” you can basically set your background to any image. It would be cool if you guys rotate pictures of places you have been as the virtual background. Let me know if you want me to show you how.

You can also do moving backgrounds. Imagine in a broadcast you have the ocean waves coming up behind you in an over water Maldives Villa.
