AMEX platinum went from far behind chase CSR to so far ahead overnight. I hold both but will certainly get rid of Chase this year…fortunately they gave me this year free when I had the annual fee hit in September, so am not paying to pretend these benefits are great
The details of the one time 2026 credit are already known, it was reported by several blogs including TPG which is basically a mouthpiece for banks. Also, "depending on it"? If, for some reason, it didn't work out as planned, then I would just come up with a different plan. I'm baffled that this was your takeaway from my post.
New CSR is working great for me. 4x on all cash hotel spend has been a huge win. Sorry it doesn't work for you. Don't assume that means it doesn't work for anyone. I even managed to use the $150 StubHub credit a couple days ago, which I thought for SURE was a total write off for me because I don't tend to go to such events. But there was a ticket to an orchestra performance in Japan that I'd quite like to see at the end of the month, for $152. Sure feels like a win to me. Probably won't get to use it again though, but not all the benefits need to pay out for it to be a net win overall.
