for everybody to know that flying first
class and business class can be achieved
for cheaper than economy. This year so
far, I've taken 40 flights. As you can
see here on the screenshot, I'm tracking
each one of them. So, each one of the
points that I'm going to be covering is
going to include proof that it's
possible, that it's real when they know
the right levers to pull. So, you don't
need to factor in money anymore. You
develop this skill of trouble hacking.
Paying with debit cards is game.
>> Should I write that now?
>> Yeah, you can jot that down. Yeah. Yeah.
If you don't have enough miles because
you only use debit cards, like do you
want a tampon or what? So, what do you
do? The main goal of this presentation
is so that everybody remembers that
paying with debit cards is gay.
>> Should I write that down?
>> Yeah, you can jot that down. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Yeah. First notes of this
presentation. So, that's the first one.
And the second one, the second goal is
that for everybody to know that flying
first class and business class can be
achieved for cheaper than economy. if we
achieve this success. So each one of the
points that I'm going to be covering is
going to include proof that it's
possible, that it's real, and that can
be attainable, everybody here when they
know the right uh levers to pull, when
we know how to use the points, the
miles, the different concepts we're
going to be talking about today. So if
we achieve that, how to fly business and
first class for cheaper than economy.
Who wants that?
>> All right, so let's get to it.
So, as it says here, you can go on the
first slides. Uh, this this isn't just
about cheap flights. Is about three
different points that we're going to be
uncovering. The first one is unlocking
the premium experiences. So, some people
want to get these uh points, miles of
travel hacking because they've never
flown business or first class. So, is
there somebody here who has never yet
flown business or first class only
economy? Okay. So for for you guys could
be the opportunity to pay less than the
economy tickets you're paying. But for
example in Emirates just take the
staircase and go to the uppert where the
business and first class happens and you
can still save money. Okay. The second
reason is to spawn across the globe. So,
you can literally decide now that
tomorrow you're going on the other side
of the planet and the only thing you
need is 200 bucks for a 13-hour flight
in business or first class.
So, you don't need to factor in money
anymore. If you have enough miles, if
you have enough points with the
strategies we're going to share, you can
just book a flight like that because
usually flights get more expensive as
you get closer to the date. Might that
happen to you? So, you're planning six,
eight months before and you can get a
flight then last minute it's instead of
$3,000 $10,000. With the miles, it works
differently. Something that was $80,000,
it's 80,000 miles last minute.
So, if you have enough miles, you don't
need to worry about price fluctuations
in cash, right? So that allows you to be
in this IRL today. Next month you like
an IRL in Canada and then you want to
come to GeForreedom in October in Mexico
City, you can just fly around the group
whenever you want easily. And then
number three, another reason that people
want to do this and embark in this uh
acquisition of the skill because it's a
skill the same way that you learn sales
and marketing and recruiting in your
businesses, right? Building a team, you
develop this skill of trouble hacking.
which can be with your personal expenses
and your business expenses. Therefore,
for your business, it's also useful that
the business owner knows how to save
whatever amount you're paying every year
in flights. So, the third the third
reason that people want to do this is
for the provider part. So, their family
does not need to fly economy because the
first stage is you can fly in business
be like a G there. But what about your
family? Who has family here? Who has
woman kids?
Okay. So for all of you, you need to be
thinking about extra expenses. If they
want to take a vacation with you, if
they want to come to this yacht, you
need to pay for their tickets.
>> If I go to Australia, I spend just on
tickets. Not even the first business
pass $35,000
>> one way >> return.
>> return.
>> Return from Dubai
>> and then
>> from Dubai wise. There you go. 35,000.
>> What if this 35,000 could be around
1,000 1,200? This is the the idea that
even the ones that do not have family
right now, think in five years, in 10
years, will you want family? Right? So
things are going to get more expensive.
If you have enough points, the same
things that you do with your credit
cards, the same points and miles can be
transferred to other accounts or to book
tickets for other people. Okay. One more
reason for the provider role is imagine
you have a company and you have a team
retreat and you want to fly in your
business leaders like your CEO, your
CEO, your CTO, doesn't matter. You want
to fly them in somewhere and you need to
start paying tickets. You fly them in
economy for 10 hours across the globe if
they come from the other side and put
them like in a [ __ ] tuna can like
cattle. Like they're cramped. Or you can
just buy them a proper business class
flight, but instead of paying $40,000,
you can get everything for like 1,500,
four or five business class flights. So
your team, who's going to be more loyal
to a company that gets them first class,
business class flights across the globe
multiple times a year or a company that
makes them fly economy or no no you pay
for your flight for this team retreat,
right? So for those who are building
businesses and team buyers that we're
talking about, that's another bonus for
your employees. They get a $6,000 flight
in value that for you it's $150. So here
you can unlock another good experience
for them. So travel hacking is a skill
as you see in the next slide and it is
something that anybody can learn. So
here later on you can check the
different videos. Each one is the proof
that everything that I'm talking about
it's documented and it's there. This
year so far I've taken 40 flights as you
can see here on the screenshot. I'm
tracking each one of them and 2025 it's
August today 22nd 40 flights 40 from
those 40 20 are in business class one in
first class and all of the other economy
you might ask it's because it's in
Europe so when it's a 1-hour flight like
for example Barcelona to split there's
not even business class or first class
available so it's a 1-hour flight 2-hour
flight you just take economy and suck it
and just go you know like what are you
going to do you swallow it But so far
this year in these 40 flights, I saved $85,839.
It's August
and I've used around yeah 1.1 1,87,500
miles, which I also track in an Excel
sheet. So if you have enough expenses,
you generate enough miles that then save
you up to $85,000,
not even Q4 of the year, right? So
depending on how much you travel, maybe
you take three flights a year, five
flights. How how often do you travel?
Who's taking more than 10 flights a
year? Okay. Who's taking more than 25?
Okay. More than 50
>> still around.
>> Okay. So let's say that you're taking 10
flights, right? pretty much everybody is
taking 10 flights a year. And if every
flight in business class, it's around
$4,000. Although all of those who flown
business class, you know that it's a
pretty reasonable price. For example, if
you go from Dubai to Bangkok, it's
around 4,000 bucks. 10 flights times 10,
it's 40,000. So by learning a skill that
will take you less than 6 months from
the start, which is the step number one,
we're going to see it together. The ITIM
for non US citizens or the social
security number if you're already an
American citizen or a resident. In six
months, you could be saving every year
40,000 bucks for every 10 flights in
business class you're taking. It's one
way and if it's returned, it counts as
two. 4,000 and 4,000. And that's per one
person. If you have family, it gets more
expensive. Start making the math in your
mind to realize that, oh, maybe it's
worth it to learn this skill. The same
way that I learned recruiting, sales,
marketing, or any other skill in your
business or your personal life, right?
Lifting weights, eating healthy, so on
so forth. And it is something that is
replicable as you can see as well. Here
is the two examples that I put here. I
selected those because it's from two G's
that are actually in this yacht. So,
this is something that I taught I shared
the implemented action takers both of
them. And the first one, as you can see,
congratulations, your new credit card is
approved. 3.2,000
credit limit. So, a new Chase card,
3,200 bucks. Boom. Open right away. This
card allows him to start accumulating
points and miles. The other one is
somebody more advanced that already used
these strategies and to come here to
Croatia from Canada. He paid $2,000, $2.2,000
$2.2,000
for something that would cost him
$4.2,000. So he saved 2K in two clicks
because he didn't even use the miles
from the credit cards. He just purchased
the points directly from the website. So
even if you don't have American credit
cards, you can save 2K coming here in
business class. Canada, Croatia,
Croatia, Canada.
>> Uh I'm I'm new to the US in terms of
like a visa. I've been there for a few
years, but I just got my social a year
and a half ago. So now I'm starting to
get all these uh pre-approvals and
stuff, purchase, credit cards, things
like that. Is there what strategy do you
use between in terms of accepting
personal and business cards? Which ones
come first? You get the business cards
first and then personal in terms of like
credit and the limits that you can only,
you know, do. What is it? Is it two
every four? Is it two or three?
>> The 524. Yeah. Yeah. Every 24 months, right?
right?
>> So, can you go into that strategy as well?
well?
>> Yeah, we're going to cover that.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Step by step. This is what
he's asking is should I go for personal
cards first, business cards first? Like
which one is going to give me the best
return? We're going to get into that uh
in a second, but it's covered here. So,
let's start with the first one, which is
unlocking the premium experiences for
all of those who want to fly in business
class for the first time or more often
without having to pray to pay this 5,000
7,000 $10,000 per flight per way. How
you do that? Well, first understanding
what's the pain that you have right now?
Because if you still normalize flying in economy
economy
and you think, "No, it's fine. I'm just
like going to swallow it and just like
arrive a little bit tired and eat that
shitty food in economy. Then what
motivates you to change? Nothing. Right?
If you start normalizing that you should
be taking every single flight that's
more than four hours in business and
first class and pay less than economy,
you're going to be like [ __ ] every time
now you go into economy because I told
you you cannot hear what we've been
talking about today. So now every time
you take economy for a longer flight
than for hours, you're like, "What if I
learned that skill that I could be
taking this flight in business and even
pay less than what I'm paying for this
worse seat?" Make sense? So as you can
see here, Con in this picture is
traveling in economy. He's not that
happy. You know, it's the best version
AI could get of Con, but there you go.
He's here stuck between two ladies in
economy. Not that happy. Right. And this
is before discovering this after travel
hacking. You can see him so happy with
the cigar. He cannot even light up on
the plane. But you know for the picture
looks good. And he's in a first class
seat. I think if con is here is visitor
or first class. I think it's first
class. But you know in Emirates much
more space much happier right? So this
can be you. And actually then well he
has more energy. So when he arrives to
Dubai, he can meet the ladies and he's
not tired, you know. He can just go and
do everything they want to do. Go on
meetings, dinners, meet ladies, whatever
they want to do, right? You are not in
that seat that does not even recline
past 45°.
So you arrive with more energy. The ones
that are flying in business class, why
do you do it? I'm just curious. Is it
for the luxury? For the comfort, for the
for what? Comfort.
>> For the rest.
>> Arriving rested. >> Rested.
>> Rested.
>> For treatment, too. You get treated a
lot better than when you're [ __ ]
going through lines all that.
>> Yeah. Going through lines faster
lounges. What is it for you?
>> I can't sleep right and when you have a bed.
bed.
>> I like to take the overnights and sleep
>> and sleep.
>> So you miss the jet lag like the UK to
Dubai right go to sleep in the UK in
Dubai. You miss the jet lag. I mean who
can sleep in.
So that would be a night sleep.
>> So you do it. Exactly. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> So you arrived rested in the morning and
you can just kick off the day.
>> You don't miss 10 hours of work if you
do the overnight flight and you can fly. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> So worth the money, right?
>> I think at a certain point too, economy
doesn't exist. You can't do economy at a
certain point.
>> I I flown Emirates first hundreds and
hundreds of times mostly corporate. Uh
the last time I flew economy would have
been 15 years ago. It's not an option.
No, it's not real
>> because it's your identity. you already
are somebody who just flies business and
first class.
>> If you if you offered to pay me big
money, I couldn't do it. It's not it's
just not it's not real.
>> 100%. And I think a really good tip uh
piggy banking on on this for all of
those who have not flown business, taste
it. Do like he says, pay one ticket with
your own money and taste it. That's
going to fuel that's going to fuel your
your desire to get into business and
never go back to economy. Because if
you've never tried it, the few of you
that you said, "I've never flown it in
business or in first class." You don't
know what you're missing up. You don't
know it. Taste taste it.
>> How many didn't fly?
>> I think four or five didn't.
>> But it's like if you can afford being in
this yacht, just get one business class
flight. Taste it. [ __ ] You can't go
back is what he says.
>> Never go back. You can never go back.
>> Yeah. Right. So, it's a it's a good tip
for everybody that wants to get started.
Even before getting the credit card, all
the tips that we're going to be sharing
right now, just taste it and you're
going to see it's proper. We arrived
here at the first uh truth and we can
find that not knowing how to travel hack
and paying full price is gay. Because
when you think take take the note, take
the note, jot that down. Not knowing how
to travel hack and paying full price is
gay. Because why would you pay 5,000
bucks even if you have the money if you
can pay 400? Why would you? It's just
matter of skills. Here are a couple
examples. I'm sharing some routes that
I've taken. So, uh you can apply it for
yourself. Somebody's from Amsterdam or
is traveling through Amsterdam at some point.
point.
>> I have.
>> Yeah. There you go. So, here Amsterdam
is a really good one. Ship hole the the
the airport. I took a flight to Panama
in Central America. Instead of 6,192,
I paid $257.
and I achieved that with $106,000 miles.
>> Uh I don't want to like steal, but like
another thing though, like $106,000 miles.
miles.
>> If you were to sell that for cash,
typically it's only $1,000 in cash,
right? So you're getting a $5,000 value
or $6,000 value in flights versus if you
sold it for cash,000.
>> Yeah, he's totally right. So what he's
saying is that usually the miles are
valued at 1 cent per point. So if you
have 100,000 miles, the AMX portal or
the Chase portal or any Capital One
portal, right, that you book the flights
directly through there, it's going to
give you $1,000 in cash value for
100,000 miles. But why we do travel
hacking to multiply this value? As you
can see, I already calculated for you
the 5.6 cents per point, which means
that I get a 5.6x 6x return on what the
value that Chase MX is going to give me.
And we do that through some strategies
we're going to cover at the end. Right?
But the idea is that never book flights
through the portals. That's also gay.
Okay. Another gay thing is book a flight
through AMX or Chase portal. Don't do
that. You're wasting your miles. Even if
you have millions of miles, don't do it.
It's stupid. It's gay. How we do it, I'm
going to explain it at the end how to
properly do it. But here you can also
see the video of the flight. Now you're
in Panama. You want to go to Miami.
Somebody from the US here, US citizens.
There you go. If you do a stopover in
Miami from Panama, very easy. Instead of
paying $1,000, almost 976, I paid $71 to
go from Panama to Miami in business
class. 71 bucks. Like something less
than a dinner. You just booked the
flight. You didn't even look at your
bank account. Then I'm going to share a
bit later one of my best redemptions,
which was Madrid to another city.
But I could save around $4,000. And it's
great, not for the amount that I saved,
but because I multiplied my miles, the
value to 7.53 cents per point. I'm going
to share that at the end. It's one of my
best redemptions. I'm going to tell you
how to get these legendary ones. Because
to get one and two cents per point, it's
good. To get three or four, it's
difficult, but it's really nice when you
get it. To get above seven is like a
unicorn. So when you get really good,
you can start making your miles go much,
much further. Okay. So, we save money by
using miles and then we save miles by
learning how to travel hack properly.
How do I get the points and the miles,
right? You might be saying, "Okay, this
is great. I want to save that money, but
how do I get this?" So, as I said
before, paying with debit cards is gay.
And that's the reason why many people do
not rack up any miles because they pay
with debit cards.
If I say raise your hand because who's
paying with debit cards? Nobody's going
to raise their hand right now. too scared,
scared,
>> too much, too ashamed. No, but I did it
for for many many years until I
discovered this. Right? Think in your
head. Are you paying with debit cards?
So, if you do, think why? That's the
first question I would ask you. Why are
you doing it? Why are you paying with
debit cards? Do you even know or it's
out of habit? Because for most people
is, oh, my parents always use debit
cards. They told me that debit is good
and credit is evil. Somebody's parents
or society made them think that credit
is evil.
you couple there. So yeah, it was my
reality as well. But the thing is debit
cards are inferior in many many ways
and first of all because they don't give
you any points. So if you can do the
same expense for example paying for this
yacht or getting a restaurant dinner or
buying anything for your woman for
yourself, you have two wives, life gets
expensive, right? So imagine using debit
cards. How much money you're living on
the table in terms of points and miles.
So this game is not about spending more.
It's spending whatever you're spending.
Just instead of using one plastic, I for
example brought this because again more
proof. This is one of my pouches that I
have of debit cards and passports and
residences and all that stuff. I have a
few cards that I've tried just for fun
and because it's, you know, it's my
business. I want to try the cards. But
this is a stack of 51 cards. You know
there's this definition once they told
me like the master has failed more times
than the student even tried. So the idea
for me was okay let me get all of these
cards 51 in just this pouch then I have
other pouches at home the other one that
I have here. So I have a few more but
many of these are worthless are worth
nothing literally I just got them to see
what's up but not that good. So why
would I use let me just see one of these
uh popular ones right people use wise
wise cardart why would you use wise
cardart when instead of paying like this
tapping tap in the restaurant just take
this metal card boom and tap the same
thing and this one gets you miles this
one nothing they have different purposes
because one gives you access to one
airlines the other the other and also
we're going to see that different cards
like the chase of fire reserve right is
different from the Amixes. So again,
some more proof. What color is your amix?
amix?
>> All of them.
>> Right. So, which one you want? The
green, the platinum, or the gold? Right.
I have them all to try them all and see
what's up. And each one is for a
different category. So, one is giving
you more points for dinner, but if you
use the same ams,
it's going to give you less points. But
if you use the other AMX, the other
color gives you more points in ads.
Right? So, you want to use different
cards. The chase gives you more points
in dining than another amix would give
you in another category. So you use
different cards five six for the five
six main categories dining, hotels,
flights, gas, supermarket and all the
other expenses. So when you optimize and
you know this card gives me four points
per this category, this one three points
for this category, you just know which
card you use every time for this
categories. So you just need six main
cards. That's it.
>> All the other is [ __ ] So it's not
about getting more credit cards, it's
about getting the right ones.
>> Make sense?
>> Six main ones. Uh do you have an like do
you have a suggestion because I try to
use the MX card as much as possible but
within you there's lots of places where
they don't like to take they only want
to take Visa or are there good Visa or
Mastercard cards if you're used to that
>> Visa Chase Reserve Visa card amazing
yeah and it's true it happens is not
accepted some places um but yeah the
other oh another thing European European
credit cards are gay as well. Jot that
down. That one is important for all the
Europeans here. European credit cards
are gay. Why? Because they have nothing
to do with the perks and the advantages
that the American ones gives you.
Period. Like whatever you compare, they
lose every time. So the AMX in Europe is
worse than the AMX in America. And there
are few countries in Europe that allows
you to duplicate your AMX in America in
just one phone call. It's called global
transfer. You can jot that down. Check
if your country is in the global
transfer and if you do, just call AMX,
get your AMX in the United States
duplicated right away. Nothing more
complicated than a phone call.
>> Is that the same with the Canadian Mexico?
Mexico?
>> Yeah, because I I did it.
>> Yeah, you need I first moved to the US
when I as soon as I got my my social
security. I had zero credit history,
zero uh zero credit zero credit, like a
credit score of zero and no credit
history. Uh and I called the global
accounts department and they used my
dynamics. I got a black as my first card
and right away I had like I checked my
spending power $40,000. Never used a
card before.
>> $40,000 spending power with a flat zero
credit score.
>> Why? Because of global transfer. It
works. There you go.
>> But if you [ __ ] it up and for some
reason your card gets canceled,
something happens, you can never use the
global transfer account uh department again.
again. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> I I got a bunch of uh just for business
the business a personal thing. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> And I'm sure that you have both. Yeah.
>> So, my my medical clinics all have their
own personal MX cards. They all have
unlimited limits and I spend about a
quarter million on each of those every month.
month.
So, my points are unlimited. I have
millions of points every month coming
in. But because the relationship with
those cuz on AX you have to sign as
personal with the business.
>> Now, I'm able to get any any AMX card
personally because I have a business
relationship. Doesn't matter any doesn't
matter what income I show, anything like
that. All they give a [ __ ] about is
that, oh, he's got these businesses.
This ecosystem is good. Let's give him
whatever he wants. He's a good customer.
>> There you go.
>> It's good to leverage both sides.
>> Canada, yeah, [ __ ] is
have good months when I'm spending a
shitload on it, but they [ __ ] only
care about the next month. They don't
give a [ __ ] about the payoff every month
charge card.
>> Yeah, which we do, but if you don't
charge it one month, they'll use that
month instead of the month you're
So, we have uh a few notes that you jot
down most likely, which is that European
cards are gay. Debit cards are gay. If
you pay with them, you're gay. And
paying full price for business class and
first class flights is also gay. So, use
credit cards like a G and just start
accumulating the miles and use them and
voila, the rest is history. The next the
second point, right, first one,
unlocking these premium experiences. So
all of you can fly for business business
and first class for cheaper than
economy. So money is not an objection.
If you're affording economy tickets, you
would afford and save money by getting
the business and first class ones. So we
eliminate the cost part. The second one
is spawning across the globe anytime. So
basically developing the teleport skill
can be anywhere anytime. Just do like
this. 70 bucks you're on the other side
of the world like that in business while
sleeping like Rob said your arrive
rested you can carry on the next day
right so before travel hacking you know
you might be thinking yourself this is
the mental chatter that I had is it
worth the money for a bit more of
comfort is it worth paying 6,000 bucks
when I could get there for 600 what if I
save the 5,400 and I get a better pay or
I pay for this or that or I put it in my
business. Does somebody have this mental
bargain with themselves and they think
about, oh, should I get economy or
business? Did it happen before you
clicked by on the economy or before you
clicked on the business? Right? It
happens. And sometimes you might find
yourself thinking, "Oh, am I too
reckless spending 6,000 bucks in a
flight or 10,000 bucks in a flight?"
Depending on your income, it's a lot of
money in percentage, right? So
So
if you have a family, are you a good man
if you're flying business, but your
woman and your child is flying an economy?
economy?
>> That's gay.
>> That's gay.
>> I have to disagree.
>> You'd rather have to disagree. My kids
will always be in economy till they make
their own money cuz [ __ ] No, really. I
think especially my son. I like All
right. My daughter spoke first when she
My son is an economy for life until he
fixes them. And the beauty is that you
can choose about that because you have
enough points to get all of these
business class flights if you want to uh
spoil them one day,
>> right? But some people have to do it out
of necessity.
>> Yeah, I I really think it's especially
for for sons, I think they should all be
up in the back. And I take great
pleasure going up in the back and
saying, "How's that seat feel, son? I'm
going to go lie down in first class." >> Really?
>> Really?
>> Yeah. If we get a fire up and especially
our boys, we have to believe that
>> daughters and daughters different
daughter is different.
>> Everybody in business if you want or
everybody in economy if you want but a
choice like he's saying I choose this
because I want to instruct this to my
son great but not out of necessity. So
if you don't have enough miles because
you only use debit cards like do you
want a tampon or what?
>> Did you just say do you want a tampon?
>> A tampon. Yeah. So what do you do? just
fix it, you know, after travel hacking.
If you go to the next slide, Con is so
happy here. You can find yourself here
in the slides flying in business class,
you know. So, yeah, now now you can just
fly anywhere you want, anywhere you want
and bring anyone anyone you want with
you because it's just a matter of adding
a few more miles. But in terms of
dollars, it's just going to be $100 more
per person. Also for here, not attending
IRLs because you can't afford the flight
is gay. So that's another reason you
want miles. So every IRL you desire to
go, you just [ __ ] go. And with the
price of the ticket, you pay the ticket
of the IRL, the entrance, and you just
fly for 50 bucks to whatever
destination, as many hours as needed. 50
bucks, 100 bucks, 400 bucks max, because
Emirates, 400 bucks is the most
expensive airline in terms of taxes. But
you're not going to pay much more than
400 for long flights if you travel properly.
