Are Hotel Credit Cards REALLY Worth it? (w/ Matt Welter)

Hey guys, in this video, I got the chance to sit down with Matt Welter (@MattWelterOfficial) a fellow credit card/personal finance YouTuber. Not only do we talk about his current hotel credit card strategy and whether hotel cards are really worth it, but we also discuss what credit cards he’s currently using the most, how he uses his credit card points to travel for (close to) free, his YouTube journey so far, and much more!

This is the twelfth episode in my Creator Conversations series where I talk with some of the most influential creators in the credit card/personal finance niche so we can all get to know them better outside of our regular topics of discussion. We all have many different passions that we don't get to talk about on our channels much, so I wanted to give everyone a place to talk about those things through this series. I hope you enjoy it!
