credit card advice: for the CSR, many talk about how much spending I would have to do to cover the annual fee so that it’s “worth it”. I spend just enough to cover the annual rate, and this year I won’t meet it because of COVID. Is it still a good card?

Currently have CSR but need to decide if to keep by end of month. Considering Amex blue cash preferred.

I will be WFH for the foreseeable future.
I dont expect any major personal spend.
Even when travel comes back... BCG is enforcing corp sh*tty Amex i.e. no more CSR or any personal card.

Monthly credit card spend approx:
Groceries $1,000
Gas $30
Misc $100-200

I'm not a big spender and dont eat out a lot etc.

I have other major fees e.g. rent that I cant use cc for.

Any cc strategy advice?

Chase Sapphire reserve statement credit benefit is great. Seems like all qualifying purchases made in last 3 month can be redeemed for statement credit using points at 1.5cents per point. And I dont think you lose the points you earned from those purchases after you redeem for statement credit.

Chase Sapphire Preferred vs Amex Green Card ??
SO has chase card so was thinking to add onto her membership but was wondering if I could get the 60000 points while I am added or I need to get new card ??

On the other hand was thinking Amex since our corporate card is Amex and I already have membership rewards to Amex.

Both have equally good benefits for mid travel benefits
And also I believe Amex will have less annual fee since we have Corporate card. right ?
