Here’s your game plan for a go to Japan, completely on points! 💌 SAVE this for later and SHARE this with the person you want to go to Japan with FLIGHTS ✈️ For your flight, your best bet is on ANA (All Nippon Airways) You can book ANA with them directly or utilize Virgin Atlantic as a SkyTeam Alliance partner. If you book through Virgin Atlantic, you can expect to pay 65,000 round trip in economy. Virgin Atlantic is great because you transfer your points from all 4 of the major banks - Capital One, Amex, Citi, and one other that I can’t name due to affiliate rules. If you book directly with ANA, you can expect to pay around 50,000 points round trip in economy. ANA is only a transfer partner with Amex. Note that the ANA site is pretty hard to navigate - I suggest finding the ANA flight on United first and then going to ANA to confirm that it’s available. Once you find the flight you want, you’ll transfer your points directly from the bank to Virgin Atlantic or ANA, and then book! HOTEL OPTIONS 🏨 For your hotel - Hyatt has multiple options that you can book on points. I love Hyatt because you’ll get your best bang for your points compared to other hotel chains ✨ The Park Hyatt Tokyo and the Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills will go for 30,000 points on standard nights. 25k for off-peak and 35k on-peak nights. ✨ The Hyatt Regency Tokyo will go for 15,000 points on standard nights. 12k for off-peak and 18k on-peak nights. ✨ The Park Hyatt Kyoto will go for 40,000 points on standard nights. 35k for off-peak and 45k on-peak nights. ✨ The Hyatt Regency Kyoto will go for 20,000 points on standard nights. 17k for off-peak and 23k on-peak nights.

Learning to utilize transfer partners is the way to maximizing your credit card points! To redeem your credit card points for travel, you usually have 2 options - use your points in the bank’s travel portal OR transfer your points out of the bank to one of their airline or hotel partners. Each of the major travel credit card companies have strategic relationships with airline and hotel partners for you to be able to transfer your bank points directly to the airline or hotel. You’ll typically get much better bang for your points if you transfer your points to a transfer partner. Most of the time, your points transfer 1:1 to the transfer partners. The travel portals always charge static pricing based on the cash rate of the flight/hotel. The airlines/hotel chains do not necessarily base their points pricing on the cash rate - which is where you will save your points compared to the portal!

Why I’m a Hyatt girlie through and through 👀 Hyatt is one of the only hotel chains with a published award calendar - they put each of their hotels into a Category 1 through 8. Category 1 is for run of the mill hotels in less expensive areas. Category 8 is for ultra luxury hotels in expensive destinations. The award calendar gives points prices for each category hotel for off-peak, standard, and on-peak nights. Making it really, really easy to budget your points well ahead of time. On top of that, their award calendar is really reasonable and makes it easy to consistently get 2+ cents per point. The easiest way to earn Hyatt points is through my favorite credit card points program, rather than through spending on Hyatt credit cards. These points transfer 1:1 to Hyatt. Due to affiliate rules, I can’t name this credit card program, but DM me if you have questions! You can find the award calendar on Hyatt’s website or by Googling “Hyatt award calendar” What’s your favorite Hyatt redemption?
