I doubt they go to 2-3x on dining. Even now, with 5x on airfare, they're cannbalizing their PRG. I mean, they may based on what Chase has done, but I wonder how the CSP ownership numbers will be now with the CSR. If they made the hotel earning not tied to their travel site, then I think that would make it a much more attractive travel card. Totally agree on making their credits easier to use.
