My top spend is Restaurants/Bars, followed by Travel and Groceries/Gas. maybe I don't understand the transfer partners but all I have seen is a 1.25x boost when you use for flights; guess I did my math wrong, it isn't 2.25% but a whopping 2.5%. Just struggling to see how it can compete with many of the free cars out there.

Thanks!
Some of the free cards were introduced well after the CSP and have surpassed it. And the CSP is/was extremely highly marketed on blogs. Poor reasons to keep the card for sure, but just some background.
