Been using Chase Sapphire Reserved and I like it (good perks/rewards). Would it make sense to also get an Amex? If so, which one? Trying to maximize travel rewards

Thanks, did not know about this bowl

Having owned both, the only time it makes since to have both from my perspective is if you highly value access to Centurion lounges or Delta lounges (keep in mind for the last one you have to be flying on Delta that day to utilize).
Worth it for the sign-up bonus tho and then cancel after the first year (if you're patience, you might be able to get a 100,000 point sign-up bonus for the personal version of the card - either through the very rare public link or thru cardmatch.com)

I saw an offer on my Amex account today to get Amex Platinum with an additional $150 statement credit each year (making it virtually free). Check it out to see if you qualify.
