SPG AMEX + CSR

Amex plat + lowest interest rate, zero frills, high limit card as backup line of credit linked to checking account

But really depends on what you’re trying to accomplish

For me? No. If I was an AA guy, maybe. But who wants to be an AA guy/gal

A1 - correct

Is it worth it to upgrade to the Amex Platinum from the CSR for that extra .2 oz of weight?

funny

Interest rate means nothing on cards. Terrible advice

like

K1, if you need a backup line of credit you probably shouldn't be springing for an Amex Platinum...
OP, I would say only get the Amex Platinum if you really highly value the Centurion lounge access.
Otherwise, get the CSR + SPG Amex.

Which is going away mck1 with the merger

I keep the SPG AMEX for the additional kicker for points when combined with status

like

If you’re Delta, definitely go with the Platinum Card

like

Not suggesting that TSC1, but if you fly Delta the Amex Platinum gives you access to the Delta Lounge network, which is an amazing benefit.

like

Ah right, forgot about that one! Makes sense :)

like

They’re both great cards otherwise, I don’t think you can really go wrong :)

like

Yep! One other thing OP - just in case hadn't heard of it, look up the Chase 5/24 rule before applying for the CSR

American Airlines? Too many acronyms in here easy to get lost

AA >>> United

Why get the Spg Amex? The CSR already gives you 3 points in spg properties + the flexibility to transfer to any program

Spg amex signon bonus plus can argue 2 points better than sapphire

I assume OP wants the SPG Amex for the annual free night and the night credit towards status

WM1, what exactly is going away?

Think this consolidation period is going to end in the near term, primarily driven by:

1. Microstrategy “open sourcing” their playbook for purchasing BTC as public company

2. Coinbase to offer staking for ETH in Q1 ‘21 - think how much will get locked up.

3. GME / stonks fallout - retail may moreso see the benefits of decentralization and crypto. Yes Coinbase is CEX to get you onboard, but DEX can’t be turned off.
