But Amex plat also gets you a priority pass, right? Should get you into all CSR lounges and more

like

Thanks for flagging A1. CSR gets you access to at least 2-5 lounges per major airport globally, whereas Plat is strictly Centurion Lounge (which is pretty damn bougie) and Delta.

like

CSR (vs. AMEX Plat) for versatility in points between travel and dining while Plat is only for travel. With the 1.5x for CSR, 3x becomes 4.5x which is close to Plat. While Plat has $200 in travel credit for ancillary air items, CSR has $300 in travel credit for any travel. The $200 Uber is kinda whatwver for me since it's only released as ~$15/month. Lounges are nice for Plat, but not enough to make up for what was stated above. Note though Plat might give you higher status on airlines (delta I believe) and SPG which might be worthwhile for you.

Both and I come out way ahead. Annual fees are just paying for the services and benefits that may or may not be worth the cost based on your personal needs

Both and citi bank exec platinum for the American clubs and the 10k in status miles at he 40k spend point. CSR for the $300 travel credit and benefits like if you crash the rental car they cover it. Amex for centurion lounges and same reasons as CSR. They all have their purposes and we use all of them.

like

CSR because more lounges + cheaper annual fee

Plat gets you gold for Hilton and gold for Marriott which is nice. I'm not sure what lounges the CSR gets you that the plat doesnt like c1 says. Plat gets you priority pass, Centurion Lounge and delta lounges if flying delta.

Oh also I've found that more places accept visa. Just my experience

C1/m1- plat also has priority pass which has a global network of 1000+ lounges. It's the same thing CSR has

A1, I believe it's the same network then, no? CSR also uses Priority Pass. But O1 had a good point - Visa is accepted pretty much everywhere

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.

Has anyone reevaluated their retirement methods after a life-altering experience? I used to invest a lot more ($5k or so a month), but after losing one of my parents last year (mid-50s), I’ve wondered if it’s better to just enjoy life as we are living it. So, I started investing a lot less. But I always see people on here talking about all of these retirement schemes (backdoor Roth, mega-backdoor Roth, etc.) and I’m wondering if there’s a happy middle ground somewhere.
