NEW Bilt Benefit + SECRET 80k Offer on THIS Credit Card

In this video, I want to talk about this new benefit of the Builts Rewards System. We also have a high bonus offer on the American Airlines Advantage Platinum Select Mastercard. And lastly, I have a way that you can earn an easy 2,000 or so Marriott points. Hey credit warriors, welcome to the show. My name is Ben Hedges aka the Credit Shu. And on this channel, I cover US credit cards, personal finance, and luxury travel. If you like the sound of that, please subscribe. But let's get into the video. So, you probably have heard of Built. It is an online rewards program that lets you earn Built points by paying rent and also by dining in restaurants in their dining program. Oh, and at Walgreens, too. Now, Built has a load of airline and hotel transfer partners that you can transfer points to, or you can use them through the Built portal for 1.25 cents per point. Now, they've just brought in a new benefit of the program that went live today, and that is built home delivery powered by Gouff. So, this is a delivery service for items from grocery stores, drugstores, and alcohol from liquor stores in some markets. And you can access it right there in the Built app. And you can actually pay using built points or your credit card or debit card. Or you can do a split payment, part on points and part on a card. Now, this is a relatively low value redemption. Okay? It's just 0.7 cents per point. So, I wouldn't really recommend doing this all the time. Consider the points guy values built points at 2.2 two cents per point, which obviously takes into account transferring out to transfer partners, booking business class, that kind of stuff. So, it's kind of a waste if you use your points at such a low value. But if you have a load of points sitting around that you don't know what to do with, I guess it's okay to occasionally redeem in this way. So, this is one of those things that could be useful to some people and not so useful to others. I think for most people looking to really maximize value with points, it's not that useful. But if you're just using Gouff with money to buy stuff, uh it might be useful just to have Guff right in the app. And this also could signal that in the future when they come out with a series of new built cards. Remember we talked about the built trifecta, okay, in a previous video, which is confirmed. They are coming out with new built cards next year. There might be some kind of gouff credit on one or two of those cards. There is now a landing page live for this new feature. I'll paste it down below in a pin comment for you to click in and check out. Built, of course, is fantastic in many other ways. I especially like their dining program. It lets you earn an average of three points per dollar extra at restaurants in the dining program on top of what you would normally earn on your credit card. So, for me, I often use the MX Gold. I end up getting seven points per dollar. Four from Amx, three from Built. I'll put a link to the dining program down below. It really is a no-brainer to just sign up and link a card, okay? Sometimes you even dine at a built restaurant without realizing it and you earn some points by surprise. All right, let's now talk about the new 80,000 point bonus on the Advantage Platinum Select World Elite Mastercard. So, you can get 80,000 points for spending just $1,000 in your first 3 months from account opening. $1,000 is a tiny spend requirement. I could probably do that like in my first week of having the card, right? If I got the card directly before a busy few days of spending, if we go with the points guy valuation for American Airlines miles, this is of course an American Airlines credit card if you didn't figure that out already. Um, but if we go with his valuation of 1.55 cents per mile, uh, that takes us to $1,240 in value. Now, this is an in-flight offer, which means you need a flight attendant code. But the funny thing is, if you don't have a flight attendance code and you start entering random numbers, they even tell you that if you don't have a code, just enter 000000. All right, that's six zeros and you're good to go. So, it's not that it's only available for people in flight. It's just that they want to track the flight attendant who sold it so that they can give them commission if the offer gets out to other people not currently on a plane. They don't seem to mind. So, you do need the direct link to this so you have that little box to enter the 6. If you just go online and search on Google for this card, you won't get this offer. It's a much lower offer. Um, but I'll paste the link down below in the description and in a pin comment for you to click into. All right, let's now talk about our last story of the day, and that is an easy way that you can get an extra 2,000 Marriott points on your next stay. All you have to do is sign up through this website. Celebrate 2025 with 2,25 bonus points, plus 2,000 more on stays with Marriott Bonvoy Outdoors. Not sure what Marriott Bonvoy Outdoors is? Maybe it's glamping or something, or cabins. Is this it? The outdoor collection? Not sure. But if you want a similar experience, even better actually, stay at my cabin in the mountains 2 hours north of New York City. Link is down below. Anyway, let's read through the terms. Register now through December 27th, 2025. Earn on stays from October 28th, 2025 through January 10th, 2026. Redeem bonus points for stays and experiences that shape who you are. And it was super easy to register for this. You just sign into your account, hit the register button, and then it's active and good to go and you can book. I need to book a hotel actually for the night before my return flight from London this year uh at New Year. I'm coming back on New Year's Day and it's an early morning flight. So, I normally like to stay at a hotel at the airport before. So, I'm going to probably book through Marriott. Although, I'm probably going to use a free night certificate for this. So, it actually might not trigger these points since it says in the small print that this is only for paid stays. But, it's still worth signing up just in case you do have a paid stay in that time frame. I'll put a link below for you guys to check it out. All right, guys. That is the video for today. Don't forget to sign up for the built dining program and link a card and get an extra three points per dollar on your dining spend. Link for that is down below. Please subscribe to the channel if you're new and we'll see you next time. Bye-bye.
