Any recommendations on credit cards before I start in a couple months? Leaning towards Amex since I’m anticipating being aligned with Delta, and the corporate cards are Amex as well but I’d love some feedback on which cards folks thought were worth the AFs

Chase Sapphire Reserve and it’s not even close. UR are worth 1.5 cents redeemed against groceries/gas/home improvement stores.

Amex has PITA to use airline credits.

You know there are ways around 5/24 , right? An example is targeted offers or applying at the bank. Don't fear 5/24. It's more or less a marketing ploy.

Get the CSR, Amex Plat, and Amex Gold. If you use the Corporate Advantage Program, it knocks $250 off your Amex fees. So $1000 for all three cards.
The reason I haven't put all my eggs in the Amex basket is because it's not accepted everywhere. The CSR also have priority pass for airport restaurants and a lot of cool temporary benefits.

Do Amex so the points pool in one spot. If you eat a lot get the regular gold (non delta) or if you do a lot of personal travel I would go for the platinum (non delta).

Used to be the Amex Gold/Platinum (depending on travel levels) but with the recent revamp I think it’s CSR now

Depends on whether you’re in it to churn credit cards or to just maximize rewards. If the former, then probably Chase first and then Amex. Else, just Amex. Pair Gold with Platinum and the Blue Business Plus and use Corporate Advantage Program to get a discount on the AF for the Platinum. You’ll more than make up the AF in the credits between Saks, Wireless, Streaming and also the airline incidentals. And pay it forward with a referral!
