You'll also get double miles on all dining. You'll miss out on the annual bonus from WN, but I suspect you'll more than make up for that with the double points from travel and dining.

Also, unless you have a 50K WN offer in your inbox, the current signup bonus on the CSP is 40K (plus 5K for adding an AU) versus the 25K on the WN card.
That's a very good point. I didn't see the 50K WN offer was gone.

In this case, CSP probably would be the better choice if you don't have a targeted 50K WN offer.
