Travel hacks FOR India flight tickets

Recommended Posts

AFAIK it is not a loophole. 

After reading about that this is what I understand: 

They evaluate your credit-->Makes it suitable for applying cards

Suggest you a credit card. Apply-->Approve-->Minimum Spend-->Accrue Points
Then after accruing points use them for travel.

Am I right?

Honestly I would not call it "stacking"

I have millions of airline/cc miles. I used them quite a lot and I book for others too. 

This is what I think everyone should know about this "game" :

1. Understand your credit. If you are paying interest on any of your cards this is not the right time for this hobby

2. Before you start off applying for cards, understand different cards/issuers/rules/etc

3. Understand the difference between fixed value redemptions/alliances/code shares/award rule with EVERY airline. This is very complex than you assume.

4. Know what you want to use the points for. 

5. Factor is annual fees.

 

This is a marathon more than a sprint. If you understand the quirks, nuances, and keep up with the never ending changes there is a lot of dough to be made here. It is definitely not "Do 1-2-3 things and take $500 home".
