If allowed, when I cancel CSR, I'll try to get bonus for CSP. But I'm running out of chase options. The Hyatt business card doesn't sound appealing to me to sign up again for (had it and cancelled it).
I might have to start adding Citi or Amex cards which I currently don't have any. But none of them sound appealing to me aside from maybe Hilton cards but I rarely stay at Hiltons. But I want those bonus promos to offset spending. Just nothing seems compelling to me as the airline ones hold very little interest to me as the devaluations are so numerous.
Why would you NOT apply for other cards, unless you are limited by lack of spending capacity (i.e. ability to meet SUB spend requirements)?
Like you I personally find Chase UR the most useful - in my case for transfers to UA and Hyatt - and I always need more UR. But the high SUBs from other issuers generate miles and points that I can easily use on other airlines and hotels, even if the cpp is lower and even with deval. I have a nice stash with Amex, Citi, and Cap1 that I have been unable to use due to personal schedule limitations but I expect that will change soon.
Chase approvals periodically swing from easy to hard to easy - seems to be middling now. By contrast Amex seems super easy right now with high SUBs - so grab what's hot now and just be mindful of 5/24.
