How We Went to Europe for Free Using Credit Card Points (40,000 Free Flights!)

In this video I give a high-level overview of how we used Chase, Hyatt, IHG, and American Airlines points to complete a 10-day European vacation. This trip includes free hotel stays in Rome, Paris and London as well as business class flights from Iberia and American Airlines. The thefts alone had a cash value in excess of $40,000.

At the end of the video I show you some examples of how you can book similar flights on American Airlines and hotels, particularly at Hyatt, to make your own trip to Europe.
