I love my Platinum (concierge is the real deal) and with Chase cutting their sign up bonus to 50,000 it has become more competitive. Only difference I see is that CSR has $300 travel credit that can be more widely used than the $200 credit you get with Amex (can only be used on a selected carrier). But for me Amex concierge makes up for that difference; might not for others

CSR no questions asked

Do your research as to why it's better than platinum

💁🏻

I upgraded my corporate card to platinum and use CSR for personal purchases. It's been quite worth it on both counts.

Delta club, 5x MR, make it a no-brainer for Amex platinum IMO. I would get a Sapphire Preferred (not Reserve) or Freedom/Unlimited for everything else though.

Amex plat for sure if you're flying Delta a lot.

Thanks everyone!

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
