I had the worst experience with sapphire reserve customer service


I booked a place using pts and they did not provide any check in info and i called about that and they said cant help. I called like 10x and asked for 10 diff mgrs and none of them helped and all they did was cancel my reservation and not refund my pts either.

Cancelled my card right after

I love AMEX’s customer services

AX Platinum if you travel a lot on Delta or through airports with a Centurion lounge. Otherwise CSR is probably a better value.

True, though CSR has a decent travel credit that’s pretty flexible.

Another option is getting the CSR and using the Chase Freedom Unlimited as the daily card and transferring the UR points for the higher redemption with the CSR.

I’d say if someone can afford both, get AXP and CSR since they both work well for specific use cases.

Amex is retiring purchase protection end of this year, is that correct? But I like Amex it has prestige attached to it. Besides consultants class people do look at you( it does make me feel good)

likefunny

Yeah the Centurion seems to be really poor ROI, but I think people who qualify for it probably don’t think about card value the same way we do.

The point of that card is clout and the improved concierge service.

Just that it was getting difficult to use the travel credits in the pandemic

I’m assuming you’re referring to the reserve?

If so go CSR. Breakeven point is only $14k/year unless you don’t max out your $300 travel credit.

Easy $.

I have CSP and just got AMEX Platinum. I think they’re both great cards. Biggest downside with Chase for me is that they don’t have a solid relationship with Delta and I’m in a Delta hub, so I wanted to take advantage of AMEX there. Chase’s customer service is great but I think AMEX is slightly better. Downside with AMEX is that certain places don’t accept them so you need to have a backup anyway, so might be best to get both and try ‘em out for a year

GO for CS

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.
