    The Bilt and Aspire card losing is a shame. The Gold isn’t even a travel card and CSP is just for partners and insurance. No way I’d take that over the Aspire

    • @newagain9964
      @newagain9964 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      ive made that argument often about Gold isn’t a travel card. at least plat manages to maintain relevance and use in the travel reward world.

    • @finbarrsheehan8304
      @finbarrsheehan8304 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I mean the partners and insurances are pretty good for the CSP, that alone is arguably worth it

    • @royce1510
      @royce1510 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@newagain9964 It’s a point earning card not a travel card. No one would book travel on the Gold over Bilt, which is why the vote doesn’t make sense to me

    • @danielturner8798
      @danielturner8798 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Those were my regrets as well. Both are more easily keeper cards. Bilt has better insurance (primary coverage) and as good or better partners. Aspire has credits that are actually travel-related and outweigh the annual fee.

    • @MattWelterOfficial
      @MattWelterOfficial  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Agreed. The aspire losing was the biggest downside to me with it being one of the most value packed cards out there! The audience familiarity I think definitely played a factor. In general, aspire being a bit more niche, while pretty much everyone knows about the CSP. Still though, I’m surprised the Aspire couldn’t get through. Thanks Royce!

    In what universe is the CSP better than the Hilton Aspire?!? I guess if you don't stay at Hiltons. People must really want that primary auto rental CDW.

    • @MattWelterOfficial
      @MattWelterOfficial  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Seriouslyyyyy I voted Hilton Aspire haha. My guess is familiarity definitely played a factor in that matchup. Thanks Stan!

    • @newagain9964
      @newagain9964 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      a strong and easy argument can be made CSR is not even in Chase top 3 best travel cards list. and I would take CSP over CSR even - if u paid 1st yr AF on CSR. Ppl like the CSP because it punches up...significantly.

    In a battle of cards, both shiny and bold, twas the Amex Gold that broke the mold. With points for dining, and groceries too, it offered more perks than the Bilt could do. The Bilt Mastercard, a fine card no doubt, gave renters a way to earn points throughout. But the Gold, with its luster, and rewards so sweet, earned four points per dollar, a feat hard to beat.

    • @MattWelterOfficial
      @MattWelterOfficial  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Haha this might be the best one yet!

    So awesome to see credit card TH-camrs collaborating 😃😃😃. Dannnnng, Bilt nearly beat the Amex gold?! Holy crap!
    Wait, how did CSR beat the Amex coupon book? 😂 😂…I guess most ppl don’t like coupons 🤷🏾‍♂️.

    • @MattWelterOfficial
      @MattWelterOfficial  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Haha I guess people seriously don't like coupons haha. Thanks for watching CJ!

    The CSR is my current favorite card but I am surprised to see win over the platty.

    • @MattWelterOfficial
      @MattWelterOfficial  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I was pretty surprised as well! I’ll be interested to see how it does against the CSP. Thanks for watching!

    This shows all the hype videos for the CSP and CSR worked 😂 love my CSP but that Aspire is better

    • @newagain9964
      @newagain9964 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      it seems the ppl voting are highly budget conscious if they think CSR > plat and CSP > aspire as travel focused cards. i like csp but id rather hold an aspire if made to choose.

    • @MattWelterOfficial
      @MattWelterOfficial  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Haha true 😂yeah I voted for the Aspire and can’t believe it didn’t get through. Thanks Cody!

    The Aspire losing is not necessarily surprising but it shouldn’t have lost to the CSP. I agree that the Aspire is a niche card for Hilton loyalists but it is the most powerful hotel CC on the market by leaps and bounds. Pretty disappointing. Now the Gold card winning is a tough one but that is by far and away my highest earning card that I utilize for transfer partners so can let that slide. Now for the Reserve beating the Platinum, I can’t see that; I currently hold both cards and always struggle to find a way to utilize the Reserve on a day to day basis in my CC setup. Nonetheless, I’m team Gold card the rest of the way through. Awesome video.

    • @MattWelterOfficial
      @MattWelterOfficial  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks so much Carlos! Yeah I was definitely disappointed in the Aspire Card losing as well and voted that way. Definitely think general familiarity was a factor

    Awesome stuff Matt, I wonder if the former (lower annual fee + simpler) iteration of the Hilton Aspire would've beaten the CSP.

    • @MattWelterOfficial
      @MattWelterOfficial  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That’s a great point! I would love to see the aspire get through regardless but the people have spoken haha. Thanks for watching Monty!

    amex gold sounds like a "cash back" card to me

    Some of the matchups last week were a little tough. Some of the results were definitely surprising to me. I didn't expect the Venture X to do as well as it did because of how it has changed. Although I think it and the US Bank Altitude Reserve are good cards. They are cards that I could see myself having in the future. I also voted for the Hilton Aspire card over the Sapphire Preferred. I think the Aspire is a good card and I would like to get it eventually. I plan to get the Sapphire Preferred first, though because it makes better sense for me now. The Sapphire Reserve needs to be updated and refreshed to make it more attractive. The Gold and the Bilt card bracket was a tough one for me to choose. I don't even remember how I voted on it, but I think they're both great cards. Thanks for teaming up with RJ on this tournament! I am glad that the cash back cards were separated from the travel cards this year. I'll look forward to next weeks video!

    • @MattWelterOfficial
      @MattWelterOfficial  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Of course and thanks so much John! To your points, I think the Altitude Reserve is super underrated and so I was surprised to see the Venture X absolutely destroy it as well. I also voted for the Aspire and it clearly has more value than the CSP, but I’m wondering if the aspire being a bit more niche and more general familiarity with the CSP from the audience played a factor. Thanks so much!
