This needs to be required viewing after what Delta attempted to do with their SkyMiles program Comment from : Carters Content Dump |
|
So, if flying wasn’t good in the old days, how do we pretend like it was? Comment from : Idongesit Usen |
|
So they give you miles and points but when you try to use them on only their approved sites, the costs are way higher No "reviewer" or "influencer" ever discusses this aspect because they only make money from positive reviews Comment from : wayne Last |
|
This guy was a genius I read where the company that bought out his network quietly cancelled his show for oblivious reasons I wonder why? haha Now he produces a show for Obama where I am sure he produces only content that does not ruffle corporate feathers Corporate America controls this country not you or IbrBasically Adam was forced to sell out in order to keep his family fed and a roof over his head Comment from : wayne Last |
|
I guess this would explain why so many families try to get their children to plan flights a long long time ahead Because that's usually one of the best times when flights are the cheapest Comment from : Kevin M |

If you're a "normal person" the ONLY kind of "reward" you should be getting is the CASH you get back from a CASH BACK credit card ALL of the others are gimmicks that screw 90 of the users Get a Citibank Double Cash card and get 2 back on EVERY purchase Get a CostCo card and get between 3 and 4 back on Gasoline and Restaurants Throw out all your other cards Comment from : EristiCat |
|
That condescending laugh at 2:07 really hit Comment from : lucky zamora |

|
Frequent flyer? you should be ashamed Comment from : sure fine whatever |
|
Make flyer miles illegal Comment from : AstroGecko |
|
He's absolutely right about credit card interest If you're paying interest, you're losing The only way to make CC points worthwhile is to pay your balances every single month and never pay interest Don't try this if you're not in a position to pay your balances to $000 every single month Comment from : Ryan Gentzler |
|
I have seen point systems the same way If you don't maintain the level of points that upgraded you from beginner status to whatever status is next, they just bump you back down to beginner status, so all your purchases got you nowhere near the rewards you were expecting Cheap trick and doesn't win you customers, but they don't care Comment from : infinity78999 |
|
Thank you for the post neighbor Love your work Comment from : Perry Stockard |
|
This is too good, I just shared this video with someone who showed interest in the credit card Hope he actually watches this!! Comment from : Ceci Silva |

Isn't the point of frequent flyer is to board as first or bisiness for free or low cost? Comment from : Plural Love |

|
If you thought vendors were covering those 2-3 credit card transaction fees for you and not just building it in to the markup of the product, I've got some bad news for you about "Free Shipping" Comment from : canigetahit |
|
Answer pay in full, don’t carry a balance, and use points and cash back instead of miles Comment from : Victor Martínez |

A few notes on Card Surcharges:brbr(1) They apply to debit as well as creditbrbr(2) They are practiced mostly by small businessesbrbr(3) They are less costly than the Treasury DepartmentbrbrThe price is based off processing and equipment fees As a result, all cards incur the cost a surcharge offsetsbrbrLearn morebrbr wwwmerchantmaverickcom/credit-card-surcharges/ Comment from : James Carmody |

|

|
I love how it says that Akron has an international airport XD, wouldn’t that be nice Comment from : XxpandapalxX |
|
I usually love Adam and ruining things, but this is kind of dumb I use miles to fly all the time You don’t need to have company loyalty to rack up miles I don’t try at all to keep up with them, but it easy to find out how many miles you have Just call the airline or go to the website Comment from : Rage Cage |
|
Three words: Kara and Nate Comment from : Taylor flame |
|
This is why my dad made me get cash back credit cards and moderately use the cash back given so if they change the way they do the cash back I don't loose too much All for when I went on vacation to Europe Comment from : Alyssa Stern |
|
Poor Tevin Comment from : BeamerGaming 33 |
|
I don’t know about the rewards miles, but the credit card convenience fees aren’t charged if you pay cash, because the convenience fee is charged not by the credit card company but an electronic transaction company like Moneris Comment from : SigmaSixSoftware |
|
"If you really wanna gain the system, forget the points and miles and just buy a ticket on whatever airline is the cheapest"brbrwait, doesn't everyone do this? I mean I do it lol Comment from : Shinobu Takahashi |
|
This is the chillest I've ever seen Amir Comment from : Andradé |
|
It wasn't glamorous but you had leg room and didn't have to deal with security Comment from : Miss Amandas world |
|
Flula! Comment from : Daisy Darkly |
|
2020 and Adam Is still not back Comment from : MGplayz & Progamer |
|
The whole system is a form of corruption It incentives employees to buy more expensive tickets on their employer's expenses, for a personal benefit Comment from : Carewolf |

So, credit cards have to charge retailers to support the air miles, but the air miles don't really cost much because no one can redeem them? Adam, you can't have it both waysbrbrMissing the first season when Adam "ruined" nonpolitical things like can drives Now every episode is how people supposedly get screwed by the rich and powerful Comment from : DJ Force |
|
I decided for option #2: Read the comments and weep for humanity Adam Why do you have to ruin everything? 😿 Comment from : WanderingStar |
|
Great talent! Comment from : XeltreX |
|
Just realized it was Amir :P Comment from : Batdoge |
|
Credit card surcharges are illegal in the us Only “cash discount” is legal Comment from : Josh Bacon |
|
This show has given out a lot of false facts Anytime you watch this make sure to do your own fact check Comment from : TrackForField |
|
Just a normal dude with multiple free trips flown No doubt credit cards make it easy to go into debt As long as you don't act like it's free money to play with it makes sense to use the system to the fullest Why pay into it without getting any of the benefits like Amir does at the end with the banana? Comment from : chortlesinthecorner |
|
So maybe we should ban or restrict these programs to lower prices and stop stupid spending Comment from : Caleb Weldon |
|
I spent £15,000 before I had enough American Express points to move them to my Eurostar account and get a free trip That is not free money That is a perk for having spent so much goddamn money that I think you’re pretty much entitled to a free return trip with travel and health insurance thrown in Spoiler alert, they are Comment from : CityWitt |
|
come on Adam Comment from : patrick duffy |
|
Amir!!! Comment from : jschaff100 |
|
How cute is Amir?! Comment from : Gregory Foster |
|
I suppose I’ll need to be that commentator The airline business is a very expensive activity if for no other reason the volatility in fuel prices and the fact that an airlines liability on a passenger can extend far past the flight To add further weight to that the proportion of fixed costs makes them an expensive proposition to runbrbrOf course the frequent flyer programmes are a racket Do you intend they all keep the liability associated with unearned points on their balance sheets forever?brbrAs to credit cards, again surprise surprise financial institutions and the whole value chain is designed to fleece youbrbrDon’t misunderstand me I am not defending airlines of credit card companies Airlines charge ridiculous amounts of money for what is a flying smelly bus and credit cards are the work of Satan Use a debt card and only sign up to free frequent flyer programmesbrbrI use to like Adam’s bits, now it just seems like stating the bleeding obvious Comment from : Mark Young |

Misleading title Should say "why mile rewards are bad" since this video doesn't actually explain how they work Comment from : Oliver Siegel |
|
I liked because Flula only Comment from : chaosawaits |
|
Yes you should read that big pamphlet everyone throws away (it explains the terms and conditions for the program) Comment from : Marlee E |
|
Duh ? Comment from : SadFox |
|
I thought it always worked in these negative ways, which is why I never thought reward miles were worth much, except when you get to use miles for flights paid for by your employer Comment from : AccordingToLorna |
|
I’m really tired of the episodes where it’s the “if you take the 30 minutes to google it, you will avoid it” Plus the tax part is pretty BS, I’ll pay the tax to not have to write a check to Delta airlines to book my flight Comment from : Henry Wei |
|
