I've actually been thinking this. My original plan was to keep the CSR to transfer to partners (since I downgraded my Ink+ to an Ink Cash), but I'm now thinking that if I can get a CSP pre-approval this summer, it would make more sense to take that, downgrade the CSR to an FU, and then upgrade the CSP to a CSR the following year (assuming 5/24 is still a hard and fast rule).
I mean I have Priority Pass with my Amex so the only differentiation of the CSR is 3x on travel/dining and primary rental car insurance. CSP has 2x and similar insurance. I'm not sure I can make up the $150 annual fee on a 1x additional multiplier when CSP is free the first year.
