CSR is better for points/redemption and easily meets the annual fee in terms of value. Amex Plat is better for those that value service and quality lounge access (and fly through airports with Centurion lounges often)

CSR is probably better but do both! With $200 uber credit and $200 travel credit $150 per year isn’t too bad for AMEX. Plus I recently got $150 spa credit at one of its “fine hotels” so that pays off everything.

like

E1 It’s important to note that those credits are much more difficult to use than the CSR credit

I got an offer from epam but confused whether it’s epam systems or anywhere.
As I have been given fixed salary and remote work. But on offer it states EPAM systems.
Could someone please let me know who has joined epam anywhere recently if on offer it’s mentioned as anywhere?
On my interview invites as well it was mentioned anywhere.
