I have mentioned this in other banking promo threads before, but I am surprised Chase doesn't leverage its popular CC products to gain banking and/or brokerage relationships. Can you imagine if Chase were to offer additional 25% bonus UR points if you are CPC?

I actually called my CPC banker and specifically asked about any "deals" that Chase may have regarding credit cards. I was specifically looking at the CSR card to see if being a CPC member would get me a reduction in the yearly fee (similar to Morgan Stanley rebating the Amex Plat fee for appropriate clients).
The answer was a resounding "no".
While I think that the CSR card is more functional than the Amex Plat card, it is not $550 more functional (and that is the difference between the free Plat card and the yearly fee based CSR card).
