Tim's chosen destinations for the Wild Card Challenge are Costa Rica, South Korea, and Melbourne, Australia. His travel will be funded by the Aeroplan card (with a 60,000 point offer), IHG Premier card (140,000 points), Sapphire Reserve (100,000 points), and Capital One Venture 1 card (20,000 points). A unique challenge for Tim is the requirement to check a bag on all flights.
“So Tim, his destinations are going to be Costa Rica, South Korea, and then our shared destination of Melbourne, Australia. And his cards to build that trip to Costa Rica, South Korea, and Australia are going to be the Aeroplan card. Now, he drafted it with a 60,000 point introductory offer because that's what was available at the time when we did the draft.”
“Unfortunately, his sort of obstacle that he has to de master here is that he has to travel with both a carry-on and a checked bag. So he has to check a bag on all of his flights.”
