Credit Cards Discussions
Chase Sapphire

Currently have both the Amex platinum and chase sapphire reserve (just got the Amex). Thinking of dropping CSR. Would having both Amex Plat + Gold be a good combo for benefits (lounges, clear, global entry etc.) and points / rewards? (While not being an insane combo in terms of fees like CSR + Amex Plat would be).

I already have CSR, Freedom Unlimited, Freedom Flex. Can I somehow downgrade my CSR to a free one given I already have these two free cards? Don’t want to cancel and downgrading to CSP is not ideal either :(

Is it worth having a travel industry CC (ie Marriott)? I used to travel all the time for work but won’t be anymore and don’t plan to in the future so I’m not going to accumulating hotel points but don’t have enough for 100% free stays and want to start booking some trips in the near future. I currently only have CSR and CF.

Is the Amex gold/plat worth it? I used to have CSR but closed it because I stopped traveling and eating out as much

Still don’t plan on traveling or eating out too much, but there’s a 60K/100K bonus point offering

Sunday discussion. CEO Marc Benioff feels that companies should go beyond capitalism and push “social change”.
Let’s take Netflix / Dave Chapelle as the example, is it the CSR of Netflix to moderate the content they present and we pay for?
Personally, I don’t want companies to moderate for me or on behalf of me. I will make my own decisions as a citizen.

Anyone still has Chase Sapphire Preferred referral for 100k sign up bonus points?

Has anyone been successfully got the annual fee waived for your chase sapphire? Just applied and got the card and noticed that I got charged by the annual fee right away. I thought the first year fee was waived... Called the rep and she seemed to be very firm that it couldn't be waived.

Hi everyone, I am a development professional with 12 years of experience across climate change, sustainable development, CSR, livelihoods and M&E. I am looking for M&E, project/programme management roles in international development organisations in India and in Africa ( particularly Southern Africa and East Africa as I’ve lived/worked there before). Academics wise I’ve an undergraduate degree in economics and a masters in economic development.

I might be in the right bowl but i also reached my bowl limit so am thankful if you can share your experience…I’m contemplating between Chase Ink Unlimited, Capital One QuickSilver One, or Capital One Venture…

What’s been your experience with: customer service, rewards redemption, selection and availability of rewards, and earning? And I already have CSR and another cash reward Visa. TIA! 🙏🏼

I’ve had CSR for 2 years but I’m not expecting to travel for work anymore and have Amex Plat and Gold. I have Chase Freedom Unlimited. Should I downgrade CSR to Freedom Flex? Are there any chase cards I can get a bonus for if I apply, given that I’ve only had CSR for 2 years?

Best card to use to book Marriott directly out of my options for most value (titanium elite)? Chase Bonvoy Boundless, Amex Plat, CSR. The boundless offer says up to 17x points per dollar, but based on valuation do the other options still make more sense?

I’ve already got the chase sapphire preferred card…which sky miles card/next credit card should i get? I’ve closed my other credit cards from when i was in college and only have this one right now, and I’m looking to take advantage of upcoming spending

Chicago people- what is the best credit card to have? I just moved from Boston and currently have the CSR but wonder if there is a better one out there given limited benefits at the airports (eg lounges)

downgraded my csr (had for 5 years) to chase freedom unlimited, waited 5-6 days, applied for csp to get the 100k bonus. my application is “under review.” did this happen to anyone else who churned successfully?

Hi All,

Was just told to "grow our ESG/CSR" practice at a regional consulting firm, due to my recent grad certification in sustainable biz strategy. Wondering where I should focus us as a services industry for big impact: we have a large product innovation, digital engineering area, and know in the past we've had a lot of lip service to clients and only recorded ESG for their compliance.

Hoping to make a big difference and include CSR/Sust audits and projects beyond for our clients! Any tips?

Recommendations for a good credit card to open if I’m planning to have a couple big purchases (planning a wedding) in the next few months? I already have the Chase Sapphire Preferred but not much else.

Hi All,

Recently got the opportunity to "grow our ESG/CSR" practice at a small regional consulting firm, due to my recent grad certification in sustainable strategy. Wondering where I should focus us as a services industry for big impact - we have a large product innovation, engineering area, and know in the past we've had a lot of lip service to clients and only recorded ESG for their compliance.

CSR 🐠

Is there an expedient way to add rewards numbers to hotel and car rental booked through the Chase travel portal?

Airline was no prob...but can't find anyway to do via apps...would have to call the individual car/ hotel each time (he says with cold-shivers 🥶).

Might not be the right bowl. How do I get the most out of Venmo requests. Ex. If I go out to dinner my friend will put her card down and then Venmo request. Great for her she gets points. I’ve thought about using my CSR but I don’t know if it’s worth it

trying to decide if i downgrade from CSR to CSP. for anyone who has done so, do you qualify for the perks like free dashpass and peloton credit? do you get to keep existing benefits like lyft pink? sadly not eligible for the CSP bonus yet.

I have insurance for my primary vehicle and I think Geico covers if I drive other vehicles too. Do you buy insurance when you rent from Turo in this case? Would a card like CSR cover any of it? Turo May not be considered a rental agency from a card standpoint.

I transferred CSR points to my bonvoy account yesterday. They were taken from my CSR balance but still aren’t showing up in my Marriott account.. how long does this normally take? Was hoping to book today and CSR says it’s typically instantaneously.

Just downgraded CSR to freedom. About to apply to CSP for the 100k bonus. Anyone know how long I need to wait to get the bonus for CSP while my transfer to Freedom happens? I meet the 48 month reward bonus requirement.

Those who have chase sapphire preferred - is it worth it? Also, Amex gold or Chase sapphire preferred. Thanks!

Hi, all! I’ve been in philanthropy/development space for my entire career w/some community impact/CSR work. Any advice on how to transition from nonprofit to CSR or corporate foundation? I did a post masters certificate in CSR, but I’m having no luck turning that into an opportunity.

Anyone have any success leveraging potentially downgrading CSR to CSP to get spot point bonus with Chase? 100K promo for CSP really making me question CSR right now, but do love it overall.

Why are so many moving from CSR to CSP. I get that the fee is significantly higher for the former, but how are benefits better for the latter?

chase sapphire reserve or preferred?

what’s a good main credit card? pls no chase sapphire or amex platinum - i don’t travel

Amex Gold vs Chase Sapphire Preferred for travel, dining, every day purchases?

Is this Chase Sapphire Preferred Card the best option right now? I’d like to use the points for AA and Southwest flights primarily. (Current offer is 100,000 bonus points after $4000 spend in 3 months; $95 annual fee)

I’ve had a CSR for 3.9 years. If at the 4 year mark I downgrade to freedom unlimited, then apply for CSP, will I be eligible for both card’s sign on bonuses? (CFU is $200, and CSP is 100k points). Or will the CFU make me ineligible or the CSP bonus?

Rental car coverage- which credit card offers better protection CSR or Amex gold? Traveling for pleasure soon.
