Anyone considering getting AmEx Platinum in addition to CSR?

FYI CSR annual cost will go up to the same price as Amex Plat on January 12 ($550) but I still feel like CSR is better for what I use it for and is good enough to not get the plat on top. I don’t feel like I’m missing out on any benefits except maybe the Centurion Lounge.

Yeah but they added benefits like free doordash doorpass membership for 1-2 years and then Lyft Pink for a year. Not sure the exact durations but looks like this for now.

The Amex platinum sucks honestly because the only thing that’s 5x points is flights or prepaid hotels but the centurion lounges are nice

Every time I see someone pull an Amex Platinum out of their wallet I think less of them SA1 🤷‍♀️

I’m currently on both but there’s a lot of overlap so I might just stick with the CSR and get an Amex Gold for 4x on groceries/restaurants

I fly AA and have lifetime Marriott Gold (working on Hyatt status after Marriott lifetime Platinum) so pretty much the exact wrong audience for the Amex Plat

Depends on what you need it for. Platinum is a charge card so you must pay it off every month no matter what. If you already have a CSR, unsure what more you could get out of a platinum unless you book a lot of your own travel (5x airfare).

i use both. if you fly delta and you fly often, amex plat is a must. and CSR for everything else.

What’s the best way to maximize having both the chase freedom unlimited and sapphire preferred?

For context, I’ve had the unlimited for 2 years and just opened the preferred because of the bonus offer. I will hit the $4k spending target, but after that, what’s the best way to use these two in tandem, given the unlimited rewards are all around much better.

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA
