Its still a great card. $300 credit is very easy to use, 50k night at a ritz is effectively then $150/yr, which is a deal.

Then, several priority passes, travel insurances that are the same as CSR, rental car primary insurance, obviously this is a terrible development but im thinking about this $550 CSR nonsense with the added lyft and doordash benefits (just annoying if you didn't already use those frequently). Shouldn't hold on to both cards and the Ritz even with this deval is the clear winner. The CSR was on my chopping block radar for a while but I think now I need to make a decision on just having one premium chase card, the .015 per point is/was the one thing the CSR has going for it, but I don't think thats enough to justify the fee as you should usually do better per point. (this assumes you otherwise have a chase card that can transfer to hyatt, etc).

I also have the business amex plt (cent lounges and emergency evac, wework), hilton aspire (first year free and lots of benes), and citi prestige card (5x dining I guess is still worth it? idk).

Lots of negatives recently. Maybe some will have luck with retention offers?
