You don't think that the 3x on travel and dining will keep the frequent flier or business traveler?
The 3x on travel earning (and 1.5x on travel spent) alone is pretty much killing all the other hotel/airline credit cards. That's like 4.5%!

I have United MP Club...
3x UR on CSR vs 2x United Miles on United MPC (CSR wins by a mile *pun intended*)

I have Ritz Carlton card...
3x UR on CSR vs 5x Marriott Reward (I think CSR still wins)
A 60,000 MR points room usually is around $300 to $400. That means it will cost less than 30,000 UR points on the CSR.

I have Citi HHonor Reserve card...
3x UR on CSR vs 10x HH points (Again CSR wins)

I will be keeping the Citi HH Reserve because the annual night cert is worth the annual fee. I probably will cancel the UMPC and RC cards when their annual fees hit next year.
