One note The Ritz Carlton card updated their FNC to 85000 points not 50000 to match the bonvoy brilliant refresh.

[@Valente_Quintero]

Beat me to it. Just got my Ritz 85K night certificate

[@richardnettina3154]

Thanks for pointing this out. It is very unlike Sebby to get this wrong. I think he should reload the video with the correct information. This is a pretty big mistake. There are other KZbinrs who regularly give bad advice. I may disagree with some of his opinions (rarely), but have always counted on Sebby to give the best information.

[@BigBadBunnyGod]

Ya this is a big miss. The ritz is very good now

If you live in DFW the Capital One Venture X is the best card you can have in your wallet. I always stop by the lounge when flying and the card got me access to 6 T-swift tickets, which alone gave me more value than any other card!

[@AskSebby]

The DFW lounge is great! T-Swift tickets definitely makes it worth it.

[@imgonzalez]

Got denied for it sadly, but then I got 10 personal cards so who knows

[@lewis20002000]

Remember the Ritz Carlton is a Visa infinite card so it needs a $10000 credit limit I believe the data points did not include the credit limits so if you have credit to transfer as long as it's $10000. I would like to get a 3rd ritz Carlton if it's not too late, the free night's certificate has been upgraded to 85K points to match it from American Express's updated Brillance card. Now that's better as I am not driving now. I would say that the Amex business blue plus is oversized value with 2MR points on everything all the way up to $50K with no AF and does not count towards your 5/24.

[@knyshov]

So I recently rented a Uhaul cargo van . You should have seen the expression on the clerk’s face when I said I have primary CDW coverage, which was going to be $25/day, on my CSR. Premium cards save money. This was $100 saved.

[@FlintIronstag23]

💎I was surprised the Hilton Aspire didn't make the S tier. Also, the quickest way to get Lifetime Globalist status with Hyatt if money is no object: Book the Royal Suite at the Park Hyatt NYC for one week. At $30,000 per night, you will get the one million base points you need for Lifetime Globalist status (5 base points per dollar x $210,000).

[@AskSebby]

Amex vid is going to be part 2, otherwise it would've been a 20+ min video. Thanks for the data point! Hope people spending that much can expense the whole trip lol.

[@binjanitor]

Can you do an updated video on Hyatt and CSX setup? I'm curious what the quickest path to globalist status would be with minimum spend. As always, great video! 💎

[@matt2m]

As a Verizon card holder the cash back that credits to my bill is killer. Plus a 4.16 credit to my Verizon bill for 24 months when you first sign up. 4% cash back on gas and groceries, 3% on dining and takeout, 2% on version purchases and the bill itself, 1% on everything else. It's a zero annual fee metal card with very solid rewards. I love the card and they have decent promos the new one is 5 bucks a recurring bill for 3 months so that was 45 bucks for me personally. I know its a C tier retail card but man it punches like an A tier card.

[@joeycowboy14]

Hilton Aspire has to still be S-tier. Automatic Diamond status along with the credits and Hilton spending categories make it a must for Hilton loyalists.

[@marklihsu]

Hasn't really gotten me much except when I was in Asia and maybe the last stay at the Crockfords in Vegas. But I booked that thru AMEX FHR so maybe that had something to do with the suite upgrade.

[@charlesurias]

I have the Aspire, but have only used it in America so far. I have never gotten any upgrades or anything special with my Diamond status.

[@itschamesbitch]

Their points are worthless though.

[@samvilms]

Hilton is trash, hotels cost a trillion points per night. Hyatt is 10-50x better.

[@jimohare3133]

I got the CapOne Venture X when they were offering 100K SUB, and also a $200 AirBnB credit (which was triggered by a random 2-night hotel stay), and with 2X on everything and 10K points still to come, it has been a fantastic everyday spend card. I'm well in the black after only eight months.

[@patienceisalpha]

Same here. One year anniversary, waiting for the 10k

[@MasterOfNone88]

Ugh i need to get in on this so bad. LOL. 100k ?!?!?!!?! Hope they bring that back.

💎 I have been applying for the Wyndham business earner card for about a month now. It has been one of the absolute most frustrating thing I have ever done. I just sat on a mandated hold for two hours and 40 minutes. I am dedicated to this Hyatt status through it. Lol I will get that card

[@novamaster0]

💎 I live in Las Vegas..... so as soon as I heard about the Wyndham Business it was a no brainier. I keep it in my wallet as my 8x gas card, and transfer points to Caesars to get free food from Gordon Ramsey on special occasions. Also you didn't mention it in the video, but MGM will Status Match the Diamond Caesars card to their Gold Status, and then Hyatt will status match Explorist if you've got MGM's Gold status. SSS+ card in my book!

Could we get a video like this for cards with benefits outside of traveling? A lot of the traveler based discounts are nice, but at least for me, it's really something I do maybe once a year, if that.

💎 once I am out of Chase Jail I aim to go for World of Hyatt card. I have Hilton Honors basic card but I only got it for the huge welcome offer and covid 100 statement credit. Used almost all the points on stays. Plus I just dislike how little value each Hilton point is for domestic value for short stays. Especially when trying to book a premium room. Thank you for all you do, sir. Best to you.

[@OfficialEricGao]

Gotta agree with the Venture X card, it’s a great premium travel card with benefits that exceed the annual fee, what more could you want!

[@richardnettina3154]

Take this with love, because I'm an OG Ask Sebby fan (I think I've watched every video since 2018), but you should redo this video with the correct information about the Ritz Carlton card 85K certificate. I appreciate that you always have the most accurate information in your videos. Ask Sebby is the standard in KZbin credit card videos and a correction video would keep it that way.

[@l.a.rivasesq.8841]

💎 I’m interested in the Hyatt card and the upcoming premium Citi card. The only reason I hesitate in obtaining more “S” cards is that I really dislike having to use travel portals due to the lack of hotel status recognition.

[@celiribet7752]

💎 I have the Amex gold and Amex Platinum, and the Chase reserve and business Ink, and recently I have added three chase SW cards (1 personal and 2 business) in order to get the companion pass. Amex platinum has been a great lifestyle boost while traveling. I love the centurion lounges and the hotel perks. I don’t feel like I have made the most out of points redemption though on the Amex cards.

[@aznandyroo]

I live in a Delta hub (with Silver Medallion) and have been considering switching to either AA or UA for better upgrade availaiblity...but this makes a good argument for the AA Exec! 💎

[@AskSebby]

AA Exec is a good option if you value the lounge!

[@amirmoradi9595]

I have that Wyndham business card for about two years now. Definitely for the budget traveler, especially if you don't frequent Vegas to use the status match. But if you're looking to save money, it's a great card. The 15k points it gives you every year for paying the $95 AF is worth it. That 15k points is worth between one to two nights of stays at most of their hotels. That's easily over $95 in value, especially if you can get two nights for those points. Plus it earns 5x on utility bills so I pay my electricity and home internet bill with it. Other than that I only us it to pay for Wyndham family hotel charges

[@anthony9435-t1e]

I’m between upgrading my CSP to a CSR or my Boundless to a RC. Any advice on which might be the better move right now?

If there’s a chance that Chase might close off the RC card and if the RC card benefits would be useful for you, I’d say go ahead and upgrade sooner rather than later.

[@lewis20002000]

Also Ritz's airline travel credit can be used on any airline, and a mix of airlines up to $300, whick it also more than any Amex airline credit. You only have call Chase to alert them to apply the credit, I have 2 RC cards and they work well on my airline cost.

[@stevestartsover4200]

💎 I have the Wyndham Biz Earner card and the Hyatt biz card (will be getting the personal WoH soon). None of the others are worth the hassle of having an additional ecosystem/portal I have to track for me. I feel like I lost my chance at ever getting the Ritz Carlton card due to jumping the gun and getting the Amex Marriott biz card, which then locked me out of Marriott on the Chase side.

[@monishselvamuthu4895]

Hey Sebby, I recently applied for a capitol one venture x card with great credit but was rejected for having “too many credit cards”. Does Capital one expect you to close some other accounts before they offer their card to you?

[@AskSebby]

No, I wouldn't close cards just to get it. Even I'm having a hard time getting a CO card. High score + many cards = not profitable.

[@marklihsu]

Spent my way to Hyatt globalist this year with the business card and so far the only ones that have enjoyed it are friends and family via guest of honor bookings 🤣 I did book a spring break hotel and confirmed suite upgrade at the Huntington Beach resort but that's a few months away. I stayed at the Hilton resort in HB this year and as a diamond was underwhelmed. No upgrade no acknowledgement really just felt like a gold. I'm hoping the Hyatt will be a much better experience. I have a concierge but she has weird hours and doesn't always get back to me in a timely manner. The only saving grace for me with the Hilton is the new Crockfords has the Tesla loop stop and that's super convenient to get to the show grounds when I'm there on business.

[@EthanPatrick_CreditCards]

Personally I would go with the Venture X since the points are more flexible, has a lower effective AF and gives you a 2X category on everything. The only downside is that you're doubling up on some benefits with the CSR.

The JetBlue card is my most over powering card if you can spend $50k on it in a year. It gives you Mosaic status. With that gives you amazing perks on JetBlue and American airlines. Then you get the Founders card for free which cost $600 a year. With that card you can get Hertz status Ceasars Diamond 💎 status. For free Bahamas trip. Match to mgm gold. And I can keep going.

For the Wyndham Earners Card, which by the way I hate the spelling of Wyndham and always spell it wrong, I'm wondering if once I'm in the status merry go round from this card, can I keep my status going year after year by matching status? I know they have different deadlines so if I cancel the card after the annual fee posts in 10 months would I still be eligible to keep my status going round and round?

No. Caesars has changed its Diamond status such that they won't status match from Wyndham unless you have the Earner Business card or have earned Wyndham Diamond "the old fashion way" 😉

[@alaskanmoney4978]

@M Carey - I believe what matters is where the card is reported. For example, some/most business cards don't report to your personal. I want to say that one that DOES report business credit cards to your personal credit report is Capital One. I say that to say if a card reports to your personal credit report, it will count towards 5/24. If it does not, it will most likely not. Unfortunately, I've read both ways regarding the Wyndham Business Credit Cards.... This is just what I've read. Haven't personally experienced this. Hopefully, someone who has direct knowledge on this use case can chime in.

Do you think people should be cautious about getting the Venture X since it seems too good to be true? It feels like the benefits will be nerfed in a few years or the AF will be going way up. They can't fight amex and chase while losing money forever.

[@SteveMarkovitch]

Exactly what I've been thinking on this card. I've been considering it for a few months now, but since they're currently paying each card holder $5/yr after credits, I think the AF is likely to go up by as much as $100 more in the coming 2-3yrs.

[@robby95036]

@@SteveMarkovitch since they don’t give tons of credits they buy discounted in bulk, i think it may hve to go up for to support the perks. Or authorized users aren’t free so 5 people don’t get free priority pass.

[@CrowsRevenge1]

It was nerfed a bit recently in the fact that they dropped the restruant part of PP. Still a great card. And I'd say grab the card for the intro bonus and run it with the no annual fee savor card. Ton of amazing multipliers and run them until they nerf the X then use it as a set of cards to rotate out while waiting for the 48 month timer on Chase cards to reset.
