Hey, everyone!
It has come to my attention that there are a few rumors spreading
on the internet regarding my Emirates trip, and I want to address them in this
post.
He’s being paid by
Emirates to blog and advertise this trip.
Absolutely not true! While I am flattered that people think
I am good enough to actually be a paid spokesman for Emirates, the reality is
that I used my own Alaska miles and paid for the trip out of my own pocket.
It’s impossible to
have booked a trip like this. I want additional proof.
I have already posted screenshots of the total amount of
miles and cash that I paid here. But for those who need more proof, I am
posting an additional set of images.
I’ve published a picture with almost all of the physical tickets that
I used to board the planes during my trip.
As you can see, it shows the exact flights that I flew on,
the dates I flew them, and the seat numbers that I occupied.
Also shown below is the total price paid on
my actual ticket confirmation.
You can match it with the price being shown on the previous screenshots that I posted.
In addition, Business Insider examined my story thoroughly.
They even went so far as to call Alaska Airlines to verify for themselves, and waited
until for confirmation from the airline before they published my story.
I hope this settles this issue once and for all; that I
actually did book this flight, and that I paid only $300.
His credit score is
probably below 500 as a result of having so many credit cards.
Unfortunately, some of the online media have been misquoting
me and are suggesting that I applied for 15 credit cards to use for this trip.
I currently have 15 credit cards opened under my name, most of which are credit
cards that do not have a fee, which helps boost my credit score.
To book a one-way flight on Emirates, you only need to apply
for 4 credit cards. As I said before, your credit score even increases in the
long term, because you take on additional credit and show credit companies that
you are a reliable customer.
My current credit score is in the high 700s.
He must have spent
millions of miles to book this trip.
I only used a total of 200,000 Alaskan miles + $300, which
can be easily earned without flying a single flight on Alaskan Airlines.
He just flies from
one airport to another.
To clarify, I am not flying from airport to airport and
staying inside. 23-hour layovers give you a chance to explore a city briefly. It is a great strategy to use; you can get a
feel of the city and see if you want to come back and explore it more in your
next trips.
How do I book my own
Emirates trip using miles?
Many users still have questions after reading my previous
explanation. As a result, I updated my guide for booking Emirates First Class
to cover the entire process from start to finish, which you can read here.
