One credit card's sign-up bonus can get you $2,606 flights to Europe. Allow me to reiterate the power of credit card points. You can sign up for the Capital One Venture Rewards card, spend $4k in 3 months, earn a 75k point intro bonus, and earn 8k points from the $4k you spent. You can transfer those 83k points from Capital One to Air France's loyalty program, Flying Blue. 😮 80k points will get two adults to and from Europe on direct flights with Air France/Delta. These same flights would cost $1,303 each if you paid cash. So instead of paying $2,606 for you and your spouse to go to Europe, you pay ~$400 in taxes + fees. Which would you prefer? ➡️ Here's the deal. If you don't understand transfer partners, you're missing 80% of the power of credit card points. I teach people how to maximize their credit card points to take their families on incredible vacations they never thought they could afford. Interested? I'm booking paid consulting calls for February. Let's chat.

Today we announced our unaudited results for the first half of 2024. Our core product, Dynamic Holiday Packages (DP), remains the primary engine of our Group, counterbalancing a softer-than-expected H1 2024. As our CEO Luca Concone commented: “The results of the first half of 2024 confirm our strategic decision to focus on our core product, Dynamic Holiday Packages. Our proprietary DP technology - paired with a vast inventory and supply, exclusive Fintech solutions, and the regulatory advantage of being one of the few fully licensed European Tour Operators - makes us stand out in the competitive OTA sector. Although we experienced a slower start to 2024, we expect to improve our performance in the second half of the year, bolstered by the implementation of our strategic actions, the summer peak period and the effects of our new Ryanair partnership”. 👉🏼We pulled together the highlights of our financial results in the slideshow below. 👉🏼You can read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/dbSSWbsC

✈️ Wizz Air’s new All You Can Fly membership is a great illustration of my 5 components for success in susbscriptions. 1️⃣ A simple high value hook: ✅ unlimited flights 2️⃣ Unlimited is rarely unlimited: ✅ 3 day booking window limits opportunity cost ensuring seats are mostly distressed inventory 3️⃣ Don’t forget the popcorn: ✅ extra payment required for bags and onboard spend 4️⃣ Flexibility to finesse: ✅ launched at an ‘introductory price’ making it easy to adjust pricing to meet demand / usage in year 2, and limited to just 10k members 5️⃣ One time to every time: ❌ no one’s perfect… currently only offered through a separate site. Integrating into the one time booking journey could increase uptake and lock-in customers The product has sold out just a few days after launch. In an industry with fine margins, plenty of empty seats, and a price war between low cost carriers, it’s a great headline grabbing move.

I Want My Time With You.🕰️ Recently, I found myself back in the UK. It’s just a quick Eurostar away from Brussels. Every time I take that train, I’m reminded how much better it is than flying: no stress, just comfort and speed to some of the most vibrant cities in Europe. While passing through St. Pancras station, something stopped me in my tracks: a glowing sign that read, "I Want My Time With You." It was such a simple phrase, but it hit me hard. Time, after all, is our most valuable currency. It got me thinking—how do we truly value time, especially when it comes to our teams? 🤔 Whether it’s waiting between meetings or rushing through a meal between flights, time should be spent meaningfully, not wasted on inefficiencies. At Mobilexpense, we’ve made it our mission to respect the time of our employees. When they’re out there representing us or driving key projects, the last thing they need is to get stressed by inefficient expense processes. That’s why we’re committed to optimising the entire expense submission experience, so they can focus on what really matters—driving impact. So, here’s my question: how are you ensuring your team’s time is spent where it counts? 💪 #ReduceInefficiency #OptimiseTime #CompanyCulture
