- No forex fee

Other benefits like rideshare discount, food delivery discount, TSA global entry etc are not necessary for me -- they are replaceable.

I'm interested in Chase Freedom, Amex (Bonvoy cancelled) , Discover etc but could not find best matching the criteria above...
I switched from Amex SPG + Diners to CSR & Chase WOH a couple of years ago...

You need to do more homework. Given the other cards you have, what incremental value CSR brings? Dollarize the incremental value of the benefit by what you are willing to pay, eg, $10 for food at the selected PP restaurants.

In my case, I plan to hold ink preferred, amex platinum, and altitude reserve so CSR offers little value on top of them.
