Qatar Airways Infiniteクレジットカードレビュー
これからマイルを貯め始めたい方!どのようにすればマイルが貯まるか全てわかりやすく説明しているこちらの記事を参考にしてください クレカ基礎データ サインアップボーナス:50-60,000 Avios(最初の3か月以内に5,000ドル) 年会費:499ドル ポイント: Qatar Purchaseで5% Diningが3% その他は1% 為替手数料:なし その他のベネフィット: 1年間Qatar Privilege Club Gold (=ワンワールドサファイア) 優先搭乗&チェックイン Preferred seats 20㎏のExtra baggage allowance ラウンジアクセス 75% tier bonus 過去の最高ボーナス:60,000 Aviosが最高 ポイントの使い方:Qatarの特典航空券。またはQatarのAviosをBAやIberiaにトランスファーして使うのも👍 入会ボーナスでこれだけできる:アメリカからのQスイートは片道70,000 Aviosです。モルディブまでの片道は85,000 Avios 陸の一言: 2024年5月に発行され始めたカードです。事前にWaitlist入りしていた人には追加で10,000 Aviosが入会ボーナスとして入ります。つまり合計60,000 Avios 年会費がほぼ500ドルと高額な割には入会ボーナスは微妙。だって年会費95ドルのChaseが発行するBAのボーナスは75-100kですもんね。 しかしベネフィットを見ると初年度のみワンワールドのサファイアがついてきます。となるとエアラインのビジネスクラスラウンジを利用できるので非常に価値がある。そして同伴者1名をつれてラウンジに入れるのも魅力。ただしこのステータスベネフィットは初年度のみという点は忘れないように。 2年目以降もステータスを維持したい!けど飛行機に乗る予定はない!場合はこのクレジットカードを12か月のうちに90,000ドル(120 Qpointsを稼ぐのに必要な金額。1,500ドル使うと2 Qpoints稼げます)使うとワンワールドサファイアを維持できます。そこまでしてステータス維持する必要があるのか?ほとんどの場合はないでしょう。 よってこのカードは1年目はラウンジを何度か利用できるならOKですが、2年目以降はKeepする価値はありません。   ダウングレード:1年後以降は年会費99ドルのSignatureカードにダウングレード可能。年会費無料カードはなし。   どのようなクレジットカードを作ればより早くマイル&ポイントが貯まるか知りたい方! ぜひクレジットカードアドバイスサービスをご利用ください! 全てを私に任せるクレジットカードサービスも提供しています。 The post...

なぜオンラインショッピングはRakutenを経由すべきなのか?
バックグラウンド マイル&ポイントにも種類があり、それぞれ貯められる方法も異なります。 この記事では誰でも利用しやすいRakuten shopping portalをCash backの%が高い時になぜ使うべきなのかを解説したいと思います。Rakutenを使いMRポイントを貯める詳しい方法はこちらを参考にしてください。 タイミングが大切 生活していると必要な時にセールはない、逆にセールの時期だけど今は買う必要ない。ということがよくあるんじゃないでしょうか? でもRakutenに関しては%が上がった時に買う!ということを癖にしておくことをお勧めします。買い物する時はRakutenで%が上がった時。そのように頭脳をトレーニングしましょう。 なぜか? 単純に普段の%と%が上がっている時では大きな差があるからです。例えば、ユニクロは普段2%ほどです。でも定期的に15-20%になります。 普段よりもキャッシュバックが7-10倍になります。これは大事なんです!   Spendに対してポイントが貯まるレート クレジットカードの入会ボーナスは多ければ多い方がいいのですが、それと同じぐらい大切な要素は入会ボーナスをもらうのに必要なミニマムスぺンドの金額です。 入会ボーナスがものすごく多いけど、ミニマムスぺンドの金額もものすごく多いとあまりお得感はありません。逆に入会ボーナスが多くミニマムスぺンドが少ないクレジットカードは非常に効率がいいです。 「入会ボーナス÷ミニマムスぺンド」 という計算をすると、1ドルのミニマムスぺンドに対してどれぐらいのマイル&ポイントがもらえるのかを数値で表すことができます。今入会ボーナスが上がっているSapphire Preferredを例に計算してみましょう。 75,000/4,000 = 18.75 ボーナスが上がる前は60,000ポイントでしたので 60,000/4,000 = 15 1ドルに対して今は18.75 URポイント、以前は15 URポイント貯まっていたという計算ですね。   Rakuten ユニクロは20%でした。ということは1ドル使うと20 MRポイント貯まるという意味ですよね?実際約100ドル購入したらちゃんと2,000 MRポイント貯まりました↓ ということはですよ、Rakutenで%が上がっている時(15-20%)はクレジットカードの入会ボーナスと同等かそれ以上にリターンがいい!という意味でもあります。 もちろんユニクロで4,000ドル使って80,000 MRポイントを一回に貯めるのは難しいですが、入会ボーナスを狙うようなスピード(効率)でポイントが貯まるのがRakutenということです。   まとめ 私がXでRakutenの%が上がっている時に情報発信する理由はまさにこの記事に書いたことが理由です。入会ボーナスをもらうのと同じようなスピードでMRポイントを貯めることができるから。 今までRakutenの%はすごいよーと情報発信してきましたが、入会ボーナス貯めるのとほぼ同じスピードで貯めれるからすごいんだ!と理由づけして解説してこなかったので改めて記事にしてみました。 The post なぜオンラインショッピングはRakutenを経由すべきなのか? first appeared on アメリカ在住陸マイラー.
