Chase sapphire hands down! It's most bang for buck! Google the points guy and he had an amazing breakdown of the value of the card :)

I currently have the Sapphire preferred and the Amex platinum. Platinum is great for travel perks (lounge access, 5X on travel booked thru them) which is just not worth the fee given the current climate. Haven’t looked into it but i hear the Amex Gold is pretty good for dining and entertainment. However, the value of Chase points to me seems way better than Amex with more options for redemption and each point being worth 1.25 or 1.5 when booking for hotels or flights. Amex points are worth less than 1 cent on that unless transferred.

I would definitely vote Chase, and would favor the preferred over the reserve at this time.

Thank you!

Had both. Chase is the best. Many points, so effortless to transfer and use them.

I don’t have a Chase card, but the AMEX plat has more than paid for its annual fee for me, and I have barely used any of the travel benefits.

All kinds of little things add up, like getting 5% off groceries for 3 months, or $15 uber credits each month, etc.

I did the math a month or two ago and calculated I’d gotten ~$700ish in various benefits compared to the $550 fee.

Also I’ve heard if you call and bitch at them about the fee and threaten to cancel, they’ll waive it. So I may try that in a few months when I get hit with it.

Sapphire and AMEX Gold premium rewards are the (2) I carry and use for everything. I am very happy with them. Used to have Platinum but got rid of it after I stopped traveling a lot.

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?
