(Disclaimer: Click 'more' to see ad disclosure)Chris Hutchins from @chrishutchins is an avid financial optimizer and host of the top-ranked podcast "All the Hacks" where he shares his quest to upgrade his life without having to spend a fortune. He has been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and CNBC.In this episode, Chris and I discuss how he has earned more than 11 million points and miles, many of them by planning bachelor parties and other group travel, and how you can take advantage of group rates with airlines.If you're looking to earn a lot of miles by booking hotels and plane tickets, check out the Capital One Venture X card. This card lets you earn 10 points per dollar on hotels and 5 points per dollar on flights booked through their portal, and 2x on all other purchases, making it one of the best cards for miscellaneous expenses. You'll also get lounge access, $100 towards Global Entry or TSA PreCheck, and $300 annually as a statement credit towards travel booked through the Capital  One portal. Remember, if you're interested in applying for the Venture X or any other card, make sure you use a friend or creator's referral or affiliate links rather than applying directly through Google or mailers.If you are interested in supporting this show when you apply for your next card, check out https://www.geobreezetravel.com/cardsCapital One Venture X: https://milevalue.com/creditcards/venture-x/?aff=gbtDownload App in the Air at: https://links.appintheair.mobi/geobreezetravelTimestamps:((((((((You can find Chris at:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrishutchinsWebsite: https://www.chrishutchins.comYou can find Julia at:Website: https://www.geobreezetravel.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/geobreezetravelCredit card links: https://www.geobreezetravel.com/cardsMasterclasses: https://www.geobreezetravel.com/hangoutsPatreon to access recordings of masterclasses: https://www.patreon.com/geobreezetravelAward travel coaching call: https://www.geobreezetravel.com/calendlySign up for the newsletter and get exclusive access to sign up for free coaching calls: https://www.geobreezetravel.com/free-coachingGeobreeze Travel is part of an affiliate sales network and receives compensation for sending traffic to partner sites, such as milevalue .com.
