My mom and I are about to go to Asia next month. Problem is, I am paying for the entirety of this trip so our goal is to stay as close to 5 star hotels as possible with as little money as possible... So I'm gonna show you guys how I book our hotels... And we're gonna see if we can travel hack this? So somebody who travels for a living, the first thing that I'm gonna do is open AMEX Travel and Chase Travel... I do have two of the most popular travel credit cards but you don't need both, you only really need one, but I'm gonna show you the difference of both. For AMEX Travel, the cheapest five star hotel, $706.25, $706 for 3 nights and $857 for 3 nights out here's what we're gonna do, there's these travel cards... For example, for AMEX, if you book their hotels two nights, you get $300 back. For Chase if you book two nights, you get $250 back so this hotel, if we got $300 back, It's actually only $135 a night, $135 a night for a five star hotel in Hong Kong. And because I booked through Amex, you also get a $100 credit so you can use that for the $100 credit towards eligible on-property charges for parking. For chase, because it's part of The Edit, I get $250 back so this is actually only gonna be $282 a night. Plus I also get daily breakfast for two and also a $100 property credit. This is kind of what happens when you know how to travel hack, which I'm going to teach you guys, you end up not really paying as much as people think you are. And what's really crazy: is that right now they have an offer so you get the third night for free, which I honestly wouldn't have even known if I booked this through like, let's say Expedia. So my executive decision, we can book this for 135 a night but I think I'm gonna go and book a bigger room, we're going through some family issues right now so I kinda just don't want her (my mom) to be stressed in the space. So I'm gonna do this $1,088, then I'm gonna be getting $300 back. So it is only $788 and by booking through Amex, we get $300 off, $100 hotel credit, 12pm check in, 4pm late check out, which is really great if you've never had 4PM late check out and a room upgrade upon on arrival, and if you wanted to do the cheapest option, it would have been only $135 a night for a FIVE STAR HOTEL IN HONGKONG GIRL. I still have to book our flights and we're gonna stay in Korea, We're gonna travel hack all of those so I will see you guys at the next video!!
