How to order the new Amex Delta Boeing 747 design: www.asksebby.com/news/amex-delta-747
🎮The reasoning for the Clear ban is idiotic. It's like saying we should ban First class because they get to board first and is only available for those that can afford it. Duh, that's how premium products work. Same goes for food, housing and cars.
Denver airport’s clear line has its own dedicated TSA line. And let me tell you, it is not better. It takes longer to get thru the clear line than the normal line when it gets busy.
Thanks for the data point! Agree, sometimes at SFO the TSA Pre-check line is empty while there's a line for Clear.
and people still line up for clear... i am absolutely thankful for these morons actively making the regular precheck line faster.
What’s funny is sometimes even the regular TSA line can be shorter than precheck or clear.
@@couz96797 At least with TSA PreCheck if the line doesn't make sense the attendants/agents always tell my wife and I, "this line is faster". "Thank you, sir/ma'am!" I remember when Clear launched a few years ago and I took a hard pass on that. I know they're just trying to sell data and *probably* feed some facial recognition algorithm and I'm just not into that. My main question at the time was how they had some integration with TSA database on all persons that traveled. I couldn't work that out for the life of me. After I learned they basically hijack the TSA line I was like, "oh, it's a privatized TSA PreCheck? F*ck that."
A couple years ago my wife and I flew into and out of DEN with some friends to go snowboarding/skiing. When departing DEN to return home they arrived at the airport about 30 or 40 minutes prior to us. We had the CSR at the time and I already registered our PreCheck from a year prior. The TSA line at DEN was *crazy long*. It was starting to wrap near these elevators and escalators like a bathroom line at a football game. Absolutely crazy. We started waiting in the back then I saw an agent and asked if this was the Precheck line. They said precheck was past the line and to the left. We waited maybe 10 or 15 minutes, tops (with I think 3 or 4 stations open). Since we didn't have status with non-united *A at the time, we just waited at the bench for like, nearly an hour before they got through. What's great is we literally walked past my friend and his wife to the precheck line and I stopped to tell them, "We have precheck so if we finish before you we'll just wait past the gates". His wife was like, "Whaaat??" while my friend laughed and said, "Scum class" (as a Top Gear reference when they made their trains from old sedans to work on rails as a cost effective means to replace the British railway system).

The politician who introduced the Bill for Clear was upset because people were cutting in line in front of him. He wants Clear to have their express lane and a dedicated TSA agent to work with CLEAR only. Sounds like it will cost more money and there are not enough people using CLEAR. A lot of times when I fly especially the late hours, CLEAR is not even open, so I have to use the regular TSA line anyway.
Delta is the 3rd most flown airline out of my home. Because of this, I’ve been getting upgrades almost everytime I fly just from having the Delta Business Reserve!
White version looks freshhhh
If you ban clear for cutting then why doesn’t CA ban Disney land fast pass to skip the line?
You pay extra for fast pass.
@@Polostar79 you pay extra for clear
Why have first class why have business class.... This is nothing but those California liberals with their DEI garbage
One is basically essential transport at government facilities the other is an internal business add on at their own property
They’re completely different. Clear is essentially legalized petty corruption as you’re paying a private entity for better access to a government service. Disney fast pass is a company selling an enhanced version of its product for a higher price.
Thanks!
I want one made from 737 Max
Naw my card would fall apart after a couple of transactions 👀👀😂😂😂
@@bhagbir510😂
😂
🗿
Sure but every time you do a transaction they take a little extra for the politicians
🎮 1) Cards made of unique material are cool, but not enough of a reason to apply for me. 2) Maybe a Hilton card made from leftover continental breakfasts? "Sad waffle iron Surpass"? 3) I haven't used CLEAR yet, but if they get their own lane, as you described, that would make more sense and be less cluttered. As a travel normie it always feels like there's too many stations and unique lines in every terminal.
Thanks Sebby! I got the last limited "black" Delta Reserve metal card watching your videos, and now I've ordered the most recent one, from getting a TH-cam alert for this video!
Nice!
Hey Sebby, we need some tutorial vids on how to redeem points for business and first class flights.
The Target RedCard beats the Xbox card in literally every way unless your goal is to get the card and immediately cancel it.
🎮 signed up for DM - love the coupon book- will skip the Delta Reserve as Delta isn't a hub in my city. Looking into a Hilton card next. Cheers
Harborview is so good...one of the few places I miss moving away from SF
Tbh I use Clear at LAX and they have their own Clear screening at the United Terminal (Terminal 7). They don’t have enough Clear employees and many times the TSA Precheck line is faster. It is even worse at EWR during primetime. TSA Precheck is often faster. So this ban may be based on the SFO experience mainly which will doom it to fail.
I love these limited edition cards by AmEx are incredible! Keep it up!
It's a big loss for clear - losing up to 80% capacity for a dedicated lane - basic Operations Management 101 on Queuing/ Waiting lines.
🎮 - I missed my opportunity on the Black 747 so once this one came out I jumped on it.
I'm a sucker for those delta plane cards. I have the black one and I ordered the new white one the second it came out. If they keep doing this I'll never be able to cancel this card. FML...
1. Delta card looks fire
2. The delta airline cards, high end only makes sense.
3. Clear BAN sounds good if they allow us a separate line
4. Xbox card doesn't make sense.
🎮 switching to 747 card but I kinda like the purple so idk
Given that the federal government has a lot of control over US commercial airports, I doubt that California’s CLEAR regulation will hold up in court, for the same reason that states that preempted mask mandates couldn’t apply that preemption in airports (yes that mandate was struck down in court later on, but on different grounds).
Resy is useless to me. I don’t use Uber and my fav restaurant is now listed as Uber delivery and I only use pickup. Lame. I just downed my platinum to Gold for groceries and restaurants I want to eat in. I upgraded my Delta blue to platinum and I’ll see if it makes sense in a year.
🎮 The Delta airline card looks cool. Definitely will get one for souvenir. 💳
We gotta get this channel to 300k subs !!
What gives California the right to interfere with interstate commerce?
It’s not necessarily interstate, the process of clearing security all happens within that terminal and passengers often are boarding the constant stream of flights between the Bay Area, LA, and SD.
Unless you consider practically any activity as theoretically interstate, which has ramifications for all those state sovereignty arguments.
Hey Sebby, Thanks for the roundup!
Im going to Houston in a bit over a month.
Since you've just been there, any food or activities you would recommend?
Thanks!
Check out the Houston stories on my IG.
Is this care worth it
Got the card today. It’s a lot less metal then I thought
Get this man to 300k🎮
🎮 I’m actually booked to stay at Alila starting on the 27th! Booked this like a year ago. Funny that it’s exactly the day they open back up. Hopefully the construction is not delayed.
Does Barclays allow for product changes? I had the uber card but that got changed over to a Barclays View which I get no value from and I have an Xbox so 5% back would be nice but not nice enough to get a new card
Oh and also 🎮
Not across co-branded cards.
@@AskSebbyah dang - guess I’m stuck with the view then
They literally black listed me for no reason on sign up bonuses. So I got the Dela reserve 747 card coming even though no bonus after getting the black listed message. I'll probably cancel after receive the card just so I could get it and not have to pay anual fee.
5 peeps fly delta twice annually to cancun, whats the best option for us? Any recommendations?
Politicians don't want to pay for CLEAR AND don't want people to cut in front of them. If politicians get CLEAR for free, I guarantee you they will not complain.
10 minutes is the longest I have waited in "general boarding" line at the TSA at Phoenix. And that was around Christmas and Thanksgiving..
Last week, I tried 2 clear at 2 busy airports, there are long lines under the clear signs, ends up to go pre tsa directly with no lines and passed immediately. No woder the ending.
Delta!!
✈️
So you can combine credit card rewards along with Seated? For example 13% cash back through seated along with 3% cash back from capital one savor one?
Can you do a video explaining how to use the Resy credit? I have two Delta cards with it but I am just unsure how to use it
Pay with your Delta card at any restaurant on Resy.
@@AskSebby ah ok. I haven’t gotten any credits from it yet, but I do frequently go to Resy restaurants here in Austin.
Rad!!
🎮 Thanks Sebby! I'm CLEAR customer and CA is mainly where I fly to...hope they make it work!!!!!
What is your go to luggage when you travel?
Away. Lifetime warranty, never had an issue using it.
The CLEAR bill is stupid.
🎮🎮🎮
Anytime you hear lawmakers using the word “equity” the bs is not far behind.
🎮
🎮 🎮 🎮
🎮 solid vid as always
🎮 I did see some elevated offers of 90k for the Delta Reserve but otherwise it's a hype thing. (They def got me with it lol...and all the caveats that come from "skipping" the lower cards). Maybe they'll do something for the gold card again and a refresh.... or anything to the green card
🎮 - The Clear "Ban" wording sounds like a jealous little sibling.
Great video 🎮
It's so tempting to get my Delta resev back as the new card, but I am going to stay film on my decision to cancel it. I am managing enough monthly credits. I can live with the coupon book for as you pointed out, it's easier to mitigate the af on the Delta cards now, but I need to cancel the gold and the Brilliance first.
2:05 🎮 what divine place in this world has $2 happy hour dishes Sebby?
It ended on Friday. Guessing it was a very short marketing promo. 🥲
Seated has some of the worst customer experience. Would not recommend.
Which city are you using it in? Seems fine in SF.
@@AskSebby Chicago. It’s all fine but the second I ran into issues that needs support to resolve (like receipt problems) I’m hit with a brick wall with no solutions
🎮 I just got the Wyndham Business card - Maybe an update video on how it's matches are working this year.
Just get clear out of the tsa pre check line. So annoying and makes zero sense they get to cut the line. The line is called TSA pre check for a reason. Period.
Where can I find 2 dollars nigiri 😮
They ended it last week. I think they learned very quickly it wasn't profitable. lol.
Clear at LAX was awful, the employees were hella rude cuz they made everyone have to redo their scans last december and if you didn't follow their instructions to the T, then they were screaming at you. It was so chaotic for no reason and I wasted so much time having to wait to rescan when I could've gotten through precheck in less than 5 mins. It really makes me rethink renewing my green card since it is pretty much useless if you don't use up the clear credit. I think I only benefited from clear once where it actually saved me time.
On another note, I REALLY want that delta reserve card, I just wish I could justify it. If I had any of the other delta cards then I'd probably jump on it but I don't want to miss out on the other SUBs by jumping straight to the reserve
Gamer
Speaking as a gamer…. The Xbox card is a weird one. It’s specifically for the Xbox Store/Microsoft Store. That makes it hard and annoying to use for anything other than an Xbox, because while Microsoft does offer PC games, most PC gamers use Steam or Epic as their store for games.
I think if they made it 5x back on Microsoft/Xbox, 3x on all other gaming, with 1.25 cpp on purchases on the Microsoft store, 1cpp as a statement credit on other gaming purchases they’d have made a must-have gamer card.
As it is it’s not just niche from a general card use point of view, it’s niche from a gamer point of view. Xbox just isn’t that exciting.
I don't travel enough to make the Delta Platinum or Reserve valuable to me. I carry the Delta Gold and Citi AA cards for the free checked bags and, in the case of the Delta Gold, the 15% point redemption boost.
The limited edition cards are cool, though, and I like seeing what they come up with.
As far as a CLEAR ban goes, the friction point is folks paying to visibly cut in front of others. CLEAR having its own line would help, but unless the program evolved to include TSA Precheck, there would have to be two fully equipped, fully TSA-staffed CLEAR lines - one for prechecked pax and one for those who didn't pay THAT fee.
I hope they don't shut it down entirely, but if they do, I'll survive. GE/TSAPC is one of the benefits I'd pay for if I had to. CLEAR isn't.
I question the value proposition of Clear. I have Clear, and it is more of a novelty as line for Clear TSA is almost never faster than the TSA line. Many times it is longer. Think of the advantage of waiting in the Centurion Lounge line at LAS to get to TSA. 🎮 I would NEVER pay for CLEAR. I would never encourage my son to get the XBox card either.
Clear is a hit or miss. Sometimes it saves a ton of time, other times it's longer than the regular TSA Pre-Check line.
I think part of the issue in the California Bill is that when clear was started part of their pitch to airports was that they were about streamlining operations in reality. The vast majority of the value of clear comes from the line cutting feature. if the point of clear is for people to pay to cut in line the question is why not let them bear the full costs of running the line they’re cutting in makes sense to me
California laws making sense🤣🤣, let's real it's just another taxe for poor people who try to advance in life.
🎮 the Delta Reserve 747 card looks hella cool. If i was at the reserve level of my Delta journey id get one. Ive got Nintendo and PS5 not currently interested in the Xbox card. It seems its just for hardcore gamers for the xbox. They should have just made it the Microsoft card and have it be an all Microsoft encompassing card,Then maybe.
🎮. The Xbox card is too niche and the rewards aren’t anywhere near good enough for it last more than 2-3 years tops! I think the cc companies need to brand cards with sports teams and amazing graphics, people are so visual. I think more metal,
More cool designs will cost the card companies almost nothing and people will really respond pulling out a L.A. lakers branded Amex spend $12000 a year get a Lakers jersey or 50% tickets etc…
🎮 Barclay’s is asleep at the wheel like always with the Xbox card.
🎮 1.) Fad 2.) No idea on AMEX, not happy with their card updates. 3.) I like your idea of a separate CLEAR line, but man CA has gotten dumb. 4.) No value.
As someone with a Xbox and a PlayStation 5 the Xbox card is laughable
What the F is colorway? When did this become a thing?
🎮 Sebby, were you ever in to gaming?
The worst airplane? I’m all set. Card might explode in use
4th?
🙌
NEVER DELTA
1. Gimmicky, but looks cool.
2. Bonvoy Shuttle Van aluminum card.
3. Government overreach from a hypocritical elite political class.
4. 🎮Does it give the red ring of death when you're declined?
First view
Made from Boeing airplanes, umm okay...😒
As a gamer.. LOL. There’s no sense in this card except for those who keep micro-transactions alive. Edit: I don’t have an XBox because they don’t have so many exclusives. I do have Switch and PS but even if those companies put out a card, it’s a pass.
Yes! Ecstatic to hold a card supporting a company that doesn’t really care about my safety 😂
Starbucks card vs xbox card.and the winner is😂😂😂
RIP Starbucks card
Delta pulling this stunt again. Desperation?
Next year: Gold version! Jk (not really).
@@AskSebby in 2 years....plum red version
My PlayStation card is a zombie card lol
The card is not worth anything 😒.
Please please stop using the word "colorway" ... its simply **COLOR** ... "colorway" is used by TH-camrs trying to sound like they are the smartest in the room, and you never need to do that 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve only heard colorway used amongst sneaker aficionados.
Sebby loves hipster language
Somebody got their boxers in a bunch. Never cease to amaze me why people feel obligated to correct other people's free speech on their own channel.
Colorway in apparel and footwear business implies one dominant color with one or multiple additional non-dominant color(s). If it is just one color then colorway doesn’t need to be used.
Yup, video got a downvote because of it
