I'm not sure why you seem so concerned about getting denied for the CSR. Your income and credit score are both well above what it takes to get this card. As pallhedge mentions, as long as you have a history of >1 year with any credit card on your report and you're under 5/24, I can all but assure you that you'll be approved. Chase likes approving people for this card because of the high annual fee, just like Amex likes approving people for the Platinum card. If I were you I'd double dip the CSR/CSP, assuming you can meet the combined min spend requirement.
