Anyone have both CSR and Amex gold? Have CSR now but seeing it could make sense to add gold (seeing as most of the fee is already paid off from delivery/Uber credits)

I do. 4x on grocery was a big benefit. With the reduced annual fee through the corporate amex program plus the dining credits each month, it’s essentially a no AF card

Is this discount applied to your personal Amex gold or platinum card?

Yes - CSR for travel related stuff (hotels, transport), Amex gold for food related things.

I do. I get $100 off annual fee each year since I have corporate amex. $10 a month for certain restaurants or Grubhub. Plus $10 Uber cash a month this year since Feb. Plus $100 a year airline credit. Got a 10k MR retention bonus in December when I called to cancel.
I don't use it much (except for 4X at supermarkets and the occasional offers). I'm kinda getting paid to have it.
Happy to refer if you wish. Good bonus offer going on now

60k MR points after spending 4k in 6 months. Apply by 5/5 and get additional $200 back in statement credit on purchases at some home furnishing stores.
Plus you can get the limited edition Rose Gold card.
I think the statement credit is the only thing unique to the referral though

Relatedly, about if you have CSR and are considering Amex Platinum?

Honestly not worth it these days. Currently have the combo but will cancel my Plat when annual fee comes due

I have both, and Amex plat as well. I use my CSR for some travel categories and whenever Amex is not accepted.

I do as well. Think it’s the best combo of premium cards and pretty much use then for all spend.

If you haven’t signed up, complain that no one informed you, and you will be rewarded!

Have the CSR and thinking of getting rid of the platinum after having had it for 3 years. Should I downgrade to gold or sign up for new gold and get the bonus?

Not sure if this is the right bowl but hoping to get some insight. I have a lot of student debt, and am considering refinancing with First Republic bank to get a (marginally) lower interest rate.

Is it a bad idea to refinance with a line of credit vs a regular student loan refinancing?
