Amex vs CSR? Feel like CSR’s rewards have been slacking the past couple years while Amex is doing great

1. Which Amex?
2. Have you looked at CSP - way better value there and there is an in branch sign up bonus of 80k + first year annual fee waived right now. Most points value comes from transfer partners so you’re not missing anything from a CSR perspective there. I just downgraded my CSR because it’s lost all the value to me.
3. Cap one venture x is a new card worth checking out. With their $300 travel credit plus 10k points on your anniversary the AF is effectively zero. Has a 75k SUB right now.

Hi All. What is the best way to allocate 25 Lakh INR in savings into different investments to maximize returns. I recently moved out of India so Tax rebate is not a consideration for me.

I also have an education loan with balance of 7 lakhs which I am planning to repay in lumpsum as there is no tax exemption now.
