You should have used a referrral from a friend. You don't need to transfer 10 MR points to Delta to buy your flights since you did not account for the additional 6k in points you will get for spending 6k. Also, since so many of us are in pop up jail your relelvent data points should include whether you have any other Amex cards.

Wish Amex would allow more than 5 cards at once not counting charge cards. I have a great setup and don’t want to drop any of them. If I don’t drop 1 then no more sign up bonus. Decisions- Decisions

Yeah absolutely- it can definitely be tough spot to be in when you have multiple Amex Co-Branded Cards and have to really start taking into consideration things like the 5 Card Limit. Really appreciate you watching!

Drop them. A SUB will always give you more than any keeper card. You can always re-open a card again later

Love this card. Got the 85k bonus earlier this year and burned some of that for the tickets to the creator meetup in New Orleans. Great video Matt!

Congrats on the new card Matt 🎉! You've been applying for credit cards hard this year, but I'm glad you have an immediate use for these points for your trip to Mexico! The intro $0 annual fee is clutch and it's a business card too so you're technically gardening while getting that welcome offer! Very nice!

Thanks so much Stan! Yeah this card just made a ton of sense with being able to use the Points immediately for that trip later this year + the gardening aspect, double-dipping on the Delta Stays Credit and getting all of that with the ability to cancel it before ever paying an annual fee if I want to!

Hey, thats not a hotel card!!!! LoL. I really like this card, decided to keep it because the hotel credit offsets the AF. Thanks for the video Matt!!!!!

Don’t you also get points from the spend? You technically you can transfer less from Amex. Unless I’m wrong about that
@MattWelterOfficial

Yes you are right! Haha I completely forgot to include that, but since the spend is 6k, I likely just need to transfer a pretty minimal amount from Amex if Any points at all! Appreciate you watching!

Congrats on your approval for the Delta Business Gold card! That is a pretty nice card. I am thinking about eventually getting the personal Delta Gold card. The only downfall is Delta suspended service to my local airport so I would have to drive a few hours to another airport to fly with Delta. However, I may even consider the Business version of the card so I don't add to my 5/24 status.

Thank you John! Ah dang- yeah Delta suspending service could definitely make it more inconvenient. At the same though, like you mentioned, the Biz Gold could make sense while protecting your 5/24 Status! Appreciate you watching!

Great video and big congrats on the new card! Im debating between the Delta Gold and the United Explorer card right now for personal. I just hit Amex up for the Hilton Honors card for the 70K points and free night SUB almost 2 months ago now, but I don't want to throw up a red in the Amex system. I do have a pretty good relationship with them though with my BCP card for the past 2 years, so why not eh!? 😂 Congrats again on the card and enjoy those miles!

AA is good in the Caribbean. If it's a direct flight BA avios are a great way to book. Most smaller airlines are probably better served paying cash.

Nice pickup! The only reason I haven't thought about applying for this one is because I haven't really had a use for Delta Skymiles. Maybe if I have a specific redemption in mind like you it would make a lot of sense to add this one especially with the $0 annual fee in the first year and the Delta Stays credit
@MattWelterOfficial
3 ай бұрын
Thank you Jacob! And exactly- I'm basically liquidating the entire welcome offer for that specific travel redemption later this year, and then the flexibility with the $0 Intro Fee + Delta Stays Credit made a lot of sense. Appreciate you watching!

Great videos and I appreciate the hard work/information. I’ve started using my surpass for all spend I don’t have 5% return after watching one of your jilting videos for the fn cert after 15k spend. There’s some decent redemptions from Seattle to Maui near Christmas for around 27k rt. I booked it a few days ago. I got around 3 cents pp

Congrats Matt, how much was the CL? Solid logic on going for the $200 Delta certificate in the 1st year, but since you got the card in July instead of early in the year, it’ll be harder to get all the spend in for the calendar yr unless you have a big purchase planned. Conversely, getting the card in the middle of the year is good for the Delta Stays credit, since you can double dip it in 2 calendar years for $300 before paying an AF. Good video 👍🏽.
@MattWelterOfficial

Thank you so much! And I believe the CL was $10k! That's a great point about the Delta Stays Credit! I'll have to use that in the 2nd half of this year, and then again early next year before taking another look at whether to keep the Card open! Appreciate you watching!
