I was just on the Rudy Maxa Radio Show discussing Round the World (RTW) trips since the end of Round the World awards.
My interview talked about how to book a huge RTW trip by piecing together underpriced awards. Here’s a master list of such awards:
To get the miles even for these cheap awards, you’ll need to get some credit cards.
Rudy mentioned signing up for my free newsletter.
Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card
Just getting started in the world of points and miles? The Chase Sapphire Preferred is the best card for you to start with.
With a bonus of 60,000 points after $4,000 spend in the first 3 months, 5x points on travel booked through the Chase Travel℠ and 3x points on restaurants, streaming services, and online groceries (excluding Target, Walmart, and wholesale clubs), this card truly cannot be beat for getting started!

People who listened to the show probably don’t need a summary.

Would have been even funner if the current United award chart and redemption rules had been used.

SE Asia to Australia for 40k in First
Southern South America to Central and South Africa for 45k in Business.
Both are current.
