So, assuming I have 1 app left for the next 6-8 months which direction should I go: CSR, CFU, CSP? Currently only chase cards I'm holding (and ever had) are ink+ and mileageplus. Also, I'm trying to get 5 of us to Europe next summer, and am sitting on about 240k UR points (shooting for 300k for flights), so I'm leaning CSR...any thoughts? Only thing that worries me is being this late in the year and utilizing both travel credits before cancelation; my brother got a late calendar app on the cities prestige and because of a weird statement date coinciding with the calendar year only got 1 credit for his $450 annual fee.

Any help is appreciated!

CSR but wait until early Jan. so you won't have an issue with getting 2 $300 travel credits. Plan your spend accordingly.
