Episode 37: February Recap - GH Baha Mar, Amazon Struggles, & My Take On Amex Shutdowns

Black Friday was a bit disappointing on Best Buy because the best Airpod sale never went live, but there were still plenty of lower margin deals. On the travel side, we visited the Maldives for the first time with stopovers in both Dubai and Doha. 

This month, iPhones continued to go strong and are still going through November. There was also a good sale on iPads and Airpods at Best Buy with another round of coupons. We went on two different weeklong trips, one that included Hermitage Bay in Antigua and another at Chicago Seminars followed by Miami.To join the mailing list, there is a link on the website churninglife.com.

This month we had the iPhone 17 release which went very well and is continuing to be strong through October. I also share my thoughts on the Maxout Deals arrests and Pepper's financial issues.

Another monthly recap episode - Best Buy blessed me with some more coupons and there were a lot of laptop deals. We also went on a fun trip to London and the Bordeaux region of France.For a full catalog of episodes, and the private Slack group, please go to churninglife.com for a link to the Patreon page.

Lots of deals were happening for "Summer Black Friday" also known as Prime Day/Week. I continued to focus on Airpods from Best Buy with great success. I also experimented with the Amex $1k offer for Dell, and some more stuff with Walmart and Costco.For a full catalog of episodes, and the private Slack group, please go to churninglife.com for a link to the Patreon page.

Best Buy had another good sale on Airpods this month that I was able to scale pretty well.

In this episode I talk about my latest haul from Best Buy, some strategies to stay under the radar with multiple accounts at Costco, and a couple of weekend trips to San Diego and Yosemite. 

I discuss the latest Amex shutdowns along with the upcoming changes with Southwest Airlines and Emirates. It was another solid month at Best Buy where I was able to get a combination of laptops and Pokemon cards, and meanwhile I am steadily working on buying more gold.

The meetup was a success, and thanks to everyone who came out! In this episode I dive into my churning and buying group activities for this month, including some Bank of America success and ordering the usual items from Best Buy. I am also starting to work on scaling up Costco gold, Walmart, and figuring out Pokemon cards.Head over to churninglife.com for more information on the Patreon & private Slack group.

We spent President's day week visiting the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar in the Bahamas, Tampa, and Orlando. While I have been putting a lot of work into Amazon, it has not been going well and it is hard to see a clear path forward. I also discuss my current situation in the midst of Amex shutdowns and what we can learn from them.
