Sapphire Lounge Opening, New Bonuses, and Meet the Mods: (Jerod Morales) Business Class for SIX
In this episode's highlight, we meet Jerod Morales, a seasoned travel rewards expert, to discuss his journey into the world of loyalty programs, starting with his first card, the Chase Sapphire Preferred. Jerod shares insights on using rewards to offset the high costs of family travel, recounting a memorable experience of booking a Business Class flight for six on Singapore Airlines’ 5th Freedom route from Houston to Manchester.
He discusses his preferred travel style and favorite programs, including Ultimate Rewards, World of Hyatt, British Airways, and Southwest Rapid Rewards. Jerod also reveals his upcoming travel plans and shares valuable tips for saving, such as using T-Mobile for international travel and clearing U.S. customs in Dublin, which is especially helpful when traveling with family.
