I went with the CSR for the 100k, then the CSP for 50k, and did a PC from the CSP to FU to earn 1.5 so that helps a little with my earnings. If I wasn't at 5/24, I'd go after the Ink Business Preferred for 80k. Good luck!
Thanks a bunch for the info! I've been trying to use that card for everything I normally purchase. I actually did something similar to you but kind of in reverse I guess. I had the CSP for a couple of years, hit the 50k bonus and never really got beyond that so I used it for 2 domestic flights. Then when the CSR came out with that huge 100k bonus, I got that and Chase helped me change my CSP one to the Freedom Unlimited so I wouldn't have the extra yearly fee. That Ink one looks pretty cool though. I'm eyeing it up now
