Hyatt properties are so inconsistent

I swap the CSR for the Ritz Carlton. Ritz gives FNA and the same lounge access as CSR for $100 cheaper.

Solid overview 👍🏾👍🏾 would like to see the alternatives to this set up. Interested to see which alternatives would give decent lounge acesss and transfer partners

since I prefer booking directly with airlines and tend to stay at hyatt or hilton, can't see using the chase travel portal enough to make the Reserve ever worth it since other credits sadly don't offset the annual fee. Only way I see maybe getting it is if I want future Chase points by downgrading my Preferred for 2nd Flex and then get the Reserve for the welcome offer. For now will just keep my Platinum and Preferred. Tried twice to get the Venture X and was denied despite strong income and 770 scores and not crazy about their partners anyway so no big deal

I got all 3 between me and my player 2

You missed the $25 door dash credit on the CSR, easy to use, extra $300/year, card pays you to have it. CSR is hands down best overall card for majority of people, especially if you pair it with the other chase cards.

CSR, amex platinum and us bank reserve. 🫡 Venture x sucks

Im running the Luxury Card Superfecta. Platinum, Aspire, AA Executive and Delta Platinum.

Great job on KZbin ♥️

unless you are a hardcore world traveler, i dont really think it is necessary to have all 3. i prefer 1 luxury card (amx plat) & several mid-tier travel cards (CSP or amx Green). i might add in the cap1 miles card for a 2x catch all card with no FTF.

Personally speaking, the luxury trifecta is Amex Platinum Morgan Stanley + Capital One Venture X + Chase Ritz Carlton. This combination gives your PLAYER TWO free authorized user cards from all three of them, and you can always go to any lounge with your partner!

I’m relatively new in my credit card journey but so far am finding that you can have the best of the different point eco systems without a ton of fees, with the exception of the Amex cards, of which I do use the platinum and gold. I’m testing out the chase trifecta but stick to the preferred over there reserve to get those bonuses and have access to Hyatt. I use Bilt to capture rent spend and stack multipliers for Bilt Dining, Lyft rides, and even pharmacy spend while earning points on the linked cards. You can do this while only spending on the gold, platinum, and preferred. Access to the capital one point network can be free if you just use the savor one and venture one combo, which covers a lot of spend categories and has no annual fees

Very cool to hear that you may be traveling more often in the future! Hopefully it’s to an airport with another Centurion card so you can have on in SEA and then the other airport as well!

I’d pick one and use it exclusively or along with other travel cards from the same bank to rack up points for travel. Each of the three have their strengths but for an all around experience I’d opt for the Amex Platinum and carry a Visa as well and be content.

Dear Matt, thank you for your channel! Which Visa or Mastercard do you recommend I pair with my current amex gold and platinum for travel? This is because some places don’t take amex and I would like a good non-amex travel card for daily shopping when needed abroad. Thank you.

I actually have this trifecta since I can’t pick just one 😂. Each has its pros and cons, but they are all great

For a second I thought this was about those “Luxury” Mastercards lol. Thankfully its not that.

I roll with this trifecta and I get everyday value in NYC. I have used all three cards to book a trip to Europe. Year round I use the Venture X as a catch-all, CSR for Lyft and CitiBike, and AMEX for perks and credits. I have visited all three of the issuer lounges a couple of times this year.

Out of the 3 I only have the Venture X and I'm pretty satisfied with it, especially since all the flights from our regional airport go to DFW. I get to go to the Capital One lounge before my connecting flight everytime.

Some extra good news is that Capital One is extending their complimentary Hertz President's Circle status indefinitely beyond 2024 for the Venture X. Keeps the value pretty high for the card.

Did you and Spencer plan this? Haha

I have been considering at least one of these three. I am leaning towards the AmEx Platinum to pair with my Gold and Blue Business Plus. I already have the Chase Sapphire Preferred. I don't think I need the AmEx Platinum and Chase Sapphire Reserve.

I have this, thanks for covering this which no one else does!

👍🏻

I have the CSR. Is there e difference between the CSR Priority Pass and this PP?

I honestly think that the CS Plat is the best card because it gives you a floor rate of 1.1CPP. For those of us that have huge families and value status (but don’t fly a bazillion times a year and can’t get away to stay in hotels) the Amex setup brings the most value. Everyone focuses on credits, but look at something small like cell phone protection, for 5 phones on ATT/VZW, insurance costs ~$50-$60/mo. That’s $600/yr. Yes there are free cards that have it, but I’d prefer not to deal with assurion. lol. All in how you justify it.

My score is about 740, 3 cc Amex gold, Bilt and BofA with the first 2 approved last month. Should I apply for this now?

Too good of a deal to pass up, solid at 75K but at 90K its a no brainer

Congrats Matt!

Good stuff Matt!! Another 90k in the books because the 🖋️🚂 DON’T STOP!

Congrats, I got 120k points when $6k spent through a BRM

Enjoy the new Ink card! ✊💳

Congrats!

Hyatt the best hotel looking!

If I currently have 6 inquiries on my experian report, would you recommend waiting until at least 1 falls off before applying? I also have a checking account with chase and also a freedom unlimited

Will they do s hard pull to my personal credit if I use my EIN?

If you have no business and get approved, is it bad to use personal spend on the card to hit bonus??

Sweet man!!

Congrats on the approval! I got 2 CIU and snagged up the 90k SUB on both of em.

I've got no business getting approved. (See what I did there?)😅

Great job on KZbin ♥️

Congrats on the approval Matt! 🎉🎉 That 90k is going to go a long way!

Congrats Matt, I will be applying soon!! Gotta get that 90k!!! Thanks for the video!!
