Simple Walk through on how to slash your nightly hotel rate from $600/night to $44 per night. No points involved. Step 1: Search the area you want to stay, or the specific hotel, with calendar feature on Marriott Bonvoy app Step 2: Pull up the calendar, select your dates Step 3: Cycle from standard rate (for this hotel's basic room), to your special rate. 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘦 - 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦, 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘦 Step 4: Price goes down from $350 to $122/night. Great. We are right on target. Step 5: Check in to hotel. Make sure you have status. 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘦 - 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴, 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰. Step 6: Get upgrade to a $600/night room thanks to your status. Step 7: Because of your status, you will be earning 17.5 points per dollar spent. Those points carry a $47 value for future travel. Step 8: When you checkout, Pay with the correct credit card. I use one that gets me 5 points per dollar spent, which earns me another $30.50 per night in future travel value. These points are worth more than the standard MB points in step 7. Step 9: Subtract $74, which was your point earnings nightly from the $122 you spent on the room out of pocket, to get a grand total of $44 per night Step 10: Enjoy your trip knowing that you follow @phantomstays and do not fall intro the trap of paying full price.

@WasatchSnow Fair, but it’s just too warm. It is dumping at solitude though, about 2 inches of Dip&Dots heavy stuff

@zerkatate Fractional ownership or corp codes work too

@TheMotelMan Love it! I can see the vision clearly. SBA loan for this one?

I Spent $10M/Year to Keep My Ecommerce Business Breathing. Now, I Spend $0—And we are Thriving. For years running my ecom hold co, I was stuck on a treadmill. 💰 $10M/year in revenue. 📉 Minimal profit. 📢 100% reliant on Meta/Google Ads. The playbook was simple: scale ad spend to acquire more customers, inject some Hopium (Pleaaasee Please may my ROAS be positive), try to improve returning customer rate, etc etc. But if I stopped spending, growth halted. Between lawsuits, supply chain struggles, and razor thin margins, it was exhausting. I built something that looked successful on the outside—but inside, it felt like a house of cards, one algorithm update away from collapse. And collapse it did. I lost the energy to keep it afloat, and exited for what I could get. My lovely wife looked at me, slapped me around a few times, reminded me of all the skillsets I had built, and the importance of operating from your core. So I did some soul searching (this is always the hardest part), and I left it all behind. I started a completely new business centered around my specialized knowledge I had built in Travel Optimization and Fractional Hotel Ownership space. In just 6 months of launching Phantom Capital: ✅ 160 high-net-worth members (100% organic and referrals, $0 ad spend) in our travel hacking community ✅ $80k/yr in recurring community revenue (1 cancellation) ✅ $240k/yr in recurring upsell revenue (no cancellations) ✅ $40k in upsell revenue ✅ $7.6M in LOIs signed for our next limited service hotel acquisition (we own 4 currently) No ad budget. No paid traffic. No "growth hacks." Just real relationships, undeniable value, and a product so strong that people can't stop talking about it. The difference? Instead of renting attention, I own it. Instead of fighting platform algorithms, I’m building a movement. Instead of chasing customers, I’m leading a community of high earners who will never book travel the same way again. If you build something that actually changes lives, you don’t have to convince people to buy. And change lives we do. We see group members who use our Phantom Rate system save an average of $500/night on luxury properties, to a whopping total of $25k/year in savings if you count flights as well, PER PERSON. Build something like this, and they'll come knocking. 👉 If you’re stuck on the paid ads hamster wheel, know this: there’s another way. And when you figure it out? It’s the ultimate freedom.

287 Days on the road last last year, and only $6.6k spent on Luxury hotels. Stayed in 5 star properties that otherwise would have cost $105,223 Yes, 94% off. That's not a typo. I have proof. Most people have this misconception that extended luxury travel is reserved for the ultra-wealthy. They assume spending months on the road means draining savings, burning through profits, or sacrificing quality. I can't relate to the naysayers, because I live by different rules. Sure, you need to have the ability to work remote, have unique time freedom, or be functionally retired. But if you have that, YOU CAN DO THIS TOO. In 2024, I lived in luxury hotels for less than most people’s rent. Best part is, I tracked every single dollar. My 2024 Travel Wrapped: ✅ Days on the road: 287 ✅ Days skiing: 58 ✅ Marriott properties stayed at: 33 ✅ Age: 26 ✅ Flights taken: 12 ✅ Countries visited: 7 ✅ Short term rentals: 4 Now for the fun part—how much I actually paid vs. what I should have paid. 🏨 Total nights at Marriott: 173 🙅🏼‍♂️ Full price Rates: $105,223 💳 What I paid after Phantom Rates: $23,100 🎁 My True total after points earned: $6,612 🔥 Total savings: 94% That’s six figures of luxury travel for the cost of a used Honda Civic. How? 1️⃣ Phantom Rates – As a teeny tiny fractional hotel owner, I unlock up to 95% off across 10s of thousands of Marriott properties worldwide. Instead of paying retail, I leverage my ownership status to access rates most people don’t even know exist. Hence, Phantom Rates. 2️⃣ Point Multipliers – Every dollar I spend on hotels earns points that cut my future travel costs in half. That’s why my true cost wasn’t $23,100—it was $6,612 after factoring in earned points. 3️⃣ Elite Status Benefits – Free upgrades, free breakfast (& dinners at certain properties), 4PM checkouts, and bonus points make every stay even cheaper and more luxurious. This is why I haven’t paid full price for a hotel in years. If you’re still paying sticker price for travel, you’re leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table. Want to travel like this? Reply "Phantom" Below, and I’ll send you a 15 minute training video on how to get setup with Phantom Rates, and some industry secrets on how I also avoid paying for flights. 📊 Full breakdown here: 2025 is the year you stop paying for travel and start living. Let’s make it happen. 🚀

In 2025, your goal should be FREE luxury travel Sounds insane. I thought so too, But with some simple tweaks, you can get 95% off at least. I know, I flew $72k worth of biz class flights, + $96k worth of 5 star hotel stays this year for only $9,000 out of pocket. 162 nights in hotels like W, JW, Ritz Carlton, Renaissance, St Regis, and more 17 tickets in biz class with Singapore Air, Aer Lingus, Emirates, Avianca, Delta, United, and more $168,000 worth of travel, For $9,000. For the doubters, I track everything on a spreadsheet with proof. I'll send it to you if you like this post. But for those that want to know how me and my 150 member travel community do it, keep reading. First and foremost, you must know that I didn't become travel hacking extraordinaire overnight. There is some serious skill to this. And as you are aware, as a business owner, I didn't have more than a couple hours at a time to dedicate to improving my skills. So, I did it over a couple months. Thanks to that minimal sacrifice, I will get to completely eliminate travel costs for the rest of my life, to the tune of $150k/yr+. My profits flow into things that matter more, like reinvesting into my business, myself, or investments. That's $73m invested after 40 years, conservatively. Okay, so now to start. Flights. Flights are where most people get it wrong. They think points = free flights, but that’s only a fraction of the story. Here’s a real game-changer: multipliers. Business owners have expenses. Big ones. Advertising, software, payroll—you name it. Every dollar spent can turn into points, and those points, when used correctly, become premium cabin flights. For example (all booked with the RIGHT point setups): ✈️ Singapore Airlines: $7,000+ ticket, booked for $75 in fees. ✈️ Aer Lingus: $6,000+ business class flight for my family, booked for $50 per person. ✈️ Emirates: Business class from the U.S. to Dubai for less than $200. How? ✅ Credit cards that enable you to maximize point multipliers. Essentially having the ability to transfer, AND Knowing transfer partners to get insane redemption value—like 7x or more. ✅ Timing bookings for sweet spot redemptions. The result? 🤝 17 tickets this year, worth $72k, for $2,000 in taxes and fees Don't have a high spending business but still want to travel for next to nothing? Great. There is a solution for you. You can buy points when portals do promotions, which will enable you to secure biz class flights for 90% off. Don't want to do that? Get yourself a Flyer Pass and pay a yearly fee to access standby flying on every airline around the world. Point is, don't make excuses, there is a solution for every type of high earner who wants to travel frequently in luxury for next to nothing. I promise, listening to me yap will help you unlock this. Next, let’s talk hotels. Forget about points for hotels. Not good value, and not scalable (ever try using your point stack for booking a couple weeks in paradise? It will clean you quicker than you can squeal "AMEX"). This is where Phantom Rates come in. If you’re paying the sticker price for hotels, you’re leaving tens of thousands on the table every year. The key? Owners and friends Rates: Fractional ownership in a Marriott or Hilton unlocks up to 95% off worldwide. Fortunately for you, I am an owner, so I help my community gain access to these rates. Loyalty Programs: Elite status means free upgrades, free meals, and bonus points for future stays. Point-earning strategies: Every dollar spent generates points worth 3x their face value when redeemed properly. I have my stays so optimized, that I earn back over 50% of the cash price I pay for hotel costs, in points alone. For example ✅ JW Marriott in Bogota: $4,050 for 5 nights usually. I paid $188. ✅ Ritz-Carlton NYC: $1,200 per night standard. My cost? $250. 162 nights this year in 5-star hotels, costing me $7,000 total. Combine that with $2,000 in booking fees for flights, and you’ve got $168k of luxury travel for $9,000. If this is hard to follow or sounds insane, trust me—I was in your boat just a few years ago. That’s why I track everything on my Phantom Savings Tracker spreadsheet, so its easier to communicate. Believe me when I say this: if you are earning over 6 figures per year, never paying for luxury travel is a real future for you. Like this post, and I’ll DM you the full guide. Or, if you’re ready to master these strategies, join me and my 150+ member travel community. We’re all about: ✅ Passive income. ✅ Travel savings. ✅ Generational wealth. But there's one catch, the community is only for high earners making over 6 figures per year, and traveling over 30 days per year. Or for people who WOULD be traveling over 30 days per year if it were cost effective. If you're not over this level, then not a good fit. 2025 is the year YOU WILL stop paying for travel. Let’s make it happen.
