I have the Ritz card. The 85K cert got me a $1,254 hotel in Hawaii. The $300 incidental got me Alaska+ lounge membership for $250...that includes American Admirals Club lounges. The PP gets me free massages at Be Relax, naps at Minute Suites, and great restaurants, none of which AX or C1 provide. I added 5 authorized users, who enter PP lounges in Europe and the Americas.

The Ritz Card is definitely a gem that is underrated partly because the only way to get it now, is to product change! The flexibility with the Travel Credit definitely seems like it could be super useful, and that you don't have to specifically choose one airline. 85K Marriott Certificates are dang valuable toooo. The Ritz Card definitely has a ton of value and thanks for going over all the benefits Chase, great video as always!

One year ago on 10/5/23 I got a Marriott Bountiful Card annual fee $250.. this wasn't a bad card as I normally stay 50-60 nights a year and you get 1000 points per stay.. anyway.. I called in 2/3 times to upgrade after the one year anniversary and they were not able to do it.. but after 3 weeks it was allowed.. Ritz Card showed up last week. Should be a great card for us!

Even though I don't usually stay at Marriott properties, this card is so good that it is worth going through the process to get the Ritz-Carlton card even if you only stay at Marriotts a couple times a year. Easily positive value!

So there’s a reason that the ritz card is competitive with the J.P. Morgan Reserve card and that is because they are both not chase cards but J.P. Morgan. And as such they both get access to the J.P. Morgan Concierge which is on par with the Amex Centurion Concierge

I love this card. Just got my 85k cert after product changing a year ago and using it at the St Regis in NYC this winter. Room is well over $1,000 per night, so great value there. I use my $300 for seat upgrades and airline wifi. I may go for Brilliant next year after it has been 2 years since having the ritz, but I'll have to downgrade it then upgrade, which Chase may not love.

You are right about this card. My fiance and I has it together for about 5-6 years now. So far this year I used the certificate for a 950.00 night at the Ritz-Carlton Central Park NY. I already used up my travel credits with luggage check ins and seat upgrades upto now with my travels. This year so far I've done 4 lounges and 2 restaurants thru priority Pass. And last I already have 2 upcoming stays at Ritz-Carltons in Denver and Miami in October that I already applied my club level upgrades. Those savings per night with the upgrades is 200 at one property and 400 at the other. Sweet!!!!!

I just got my Marriott Boundless with plans to acquire this in a year, but I may wait at least 24 months so that I can get the AMEX Marriott Brilliant first since per Stan the Credit Frog stated that the SUB will not be given for the AMEX Marriott Brilliant if I have the Ritz card...so get the Brilliant 24 months after the Boundless then shortly thereafter product change to the Ritz. (I think that's what he said was in the small print.) That's something to consider. I would mainly get the expensive Brilliant for the annual free 85K room and the SUB, of course. I just have to decide if waiting another 12 months is worth it.

Hey Chase quick question, you mentioned that authorized users of the Ritz-Carlton credit card have free global entry/TSA Pre-Check and priority pass.

I don't have any personal experience with it but all the sources i've read online say that Global Entry is NOT covered for authorized users. So I would follow that information (although I am aware that someone commented on this video saying they got their authorized user covered).
