In this video, I want to talk about two
things. The new 80,000 point welcome
bonus worth over $1,000 on a certain
airline credit card. It's kind of a
secret bonus. I'll tell you how to get
it. And we also have an easy way for you
to earn an extra 2,000 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. 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.
We'll see you next time.
