Great angle on the Ritz.
Which Marriot Card is the best? Whichever I can get the largest limit on so I can max it out at Gucci and Louis Vuitton
Great video. Good to see you talking about Credit Cards again!
Gotta get that Brilliant card before the wnd of the year!
Ignoring sign up Bonus, can I hold both the Ritz and the Brilliant? I thought there were some restrictions.
I wonder if the Ritz Carlton card would be better than the CSR. It has all the travel protections and benefits, a lower effective annual fee after the travel credit, plus a free night. You would miss out on the increased UR redemption though I wonder how much that would matter.
Not sure if I agree with this one. If I give the Ritz travel credit its full value of $300 (which can't be hacked to buy flight tickets), effective AF is $150. So am I willing to pay $55 more than Boundless so that I can get 50k certificate instead of 35k certificate? Maybe… but not a no-brainer. I would rather get the Brilliant card to spend $300 on Marriott rooms than $300 on seat upgrades or airport lounges. I personally prefer Boundless so that I don't have to worry about spending $300, since I already get Gold status from Amex Plat. If I really care about PP or travel protection, I would use my CSR. Although I wouldn't mind having another metal card in my sock drawer wallet 😀
I just got the Amex Marriott Bonvoy Biz! Working on the SUB now!
It's a keeper card for sure!
Damn it, D. I so missed ur credit card vidz. And u’ve gotten bigger. Or ur shirts are getting smaller. Hahahaha <3
Finally some cc videos
I'll wait for a Barclays version, no reason to have just two issuers.
Isn't the Ritz $300 travel credits only for airline incidentals? Looked it up to verify, hope I'm wrong.
I have the boundless, if I can use it for flights and hotels, It's a
no brainer to upgrade.
Very informative video.
I can't believe you didn't mention one of the biggest benefit on the Ritz why it's one of the best credit card period. It has that Visa infinite buy one plane tix get another free. This card is amazing
Great breakdown and comparison video. I would go with the Ritz card because of the travel credit and certificate. Take care Dustin and keep moving forward!
Just picked up the Marriot Bonvoy Business myself. (Hoping to pick up the bold once I am below 5/24, that way I can stack both 15 qualifying nights and get gold status with outing having to pay the $450 fee with the brilliant).
Let's bring Dustin Credit guru spirit back to YouTube!
Not sure about the grp but I like the Hyatt card but only have 1 WOH card and I wish I had the old card like many youtube guru lol.
I didn't realize how many Marriott cards there were! I could see some of these with the 15 night contributing to your status if you were on the verge of entering some of their higher tier statuses. Incredibly well researched and well spoken Dustin! It's so fun learning what's out there to maximize the points/travel hacking! 😊
The Ritz Carlton card is the one I like thou AF $300 credit sucks to use unlike CSR. I don’t think I have seen a vid of anyone converting their CSR/CSP, Amex Marriott, etc to Ritz card🤔.
Too many ads playing in the middle of a video. Can you guys do something about that? Will be better if they played before afterwards
Damn you got swoll bro. Congrats
Great vid man, I had been looking to get any high annual fee card I can that has travel/hotel credits (I’m active military) and the ritz card has always been mentioned but no one has ever said how to get it. Very informative.
If you have the time to make a video about cards with travel/hotel credits that might have a high AF would be greatly appreciated 🤝
Nice shirt
Do they make it for men?
Just seeing this vid, where do you get your shirts??? Specifically this one
The ritz card!!!!!!!!
The Ritz club lounge upgrade certificates with the Ritz card are arguably the best benefit if you stay at a ritz at least 2-3 times per year. Also, you get a limited Troon golf membership with the card that can get you on to several private golf courses world wide, which is another fairly unknown benefit. I got this card 2 years ago when the sign up benefit was 2 free nights at a Ritz and a year of platinum membership. Stayed 2 free nights at the Ritz in half moon bay (approx $1200 per night) and went on to stay at the St. Regis Bora Bora where we got the free breakfast buffet everyday (approx $90 per day) with the platinum membership. Great card!
This video is SO SLEPT ON! Keep killing it bro, your opinion makes the most sense out of all other resources out there.
I currently have the Chase Freedom Unlimited. I am so stuck between getting Chase Sapphire Preferred or Chase Marriott Boundless. Help me out please. Anytime I travel I prefer to stay at Marriott hotels. Which is why I’m attracted to Marriott Boundless because you get one free night every year and 6x points on Marriott hotels. But I heard the Chase Sapphire Preferred is good for airlines and hotels too. So what am I missing except CSP is metal card vs Marriott branded card?
Anyone know the restrictions as far as welcome offers for Marriot cards, i.e: how long I have to wait between approvals
If I get the boundless card and signup bonus with chase can I also get the brilliant signup bonus on amex or would I need to wait a certain period?
⬆️ Your selfless deed is highly appreciated 💯💯 I will forever remember you 👆👆 for it.. de goat🐐
