Considering cc between Amex Platinum and CSR. I want to go with CSR due to lower annual fee and no Centurian lounge at my home airport. However, reading the Priority Pass members are regularly turned

I have both. I have only been turned away once - but also admittedly don’t use PP much. It’s pretty bad lounge-wise in domestic US airports/terminals, and I get the same lounge access abroad most of the time with my Star Alliance status. The $28 credit is extremely legit though if you have enough down time at airports to take advantage. I’m out of SFO so having a Centurion accessible just makes a ton of sense and I don’t doubt I’ll use centurion more going forward, but mostly because of where I travel to and through.

some airports, dia for sure, have airport restaurants you can use your pp at. they give you a 28$ credit for your visit.

CSR is the way to go. PP through Amex no longer gets the $28 benefit.

...away due to capacity is giving me pause. Is this really a thing and how often do PP members get turned away? Do you still get the $28 food credit?

like

Getting turned away at a lounge does not give you a food credit. The food credit is $28 per person (for you and up to 2 guests) at about 30 different airport restaurants around the country. These restaurants (supposedly) are situated in airports with limited or no priority pass lounges. Check the list to see if there are any where you fly often.

As for which credit card, the Amex is best if you really value centurion lounges and/or fly delta often and can make use of the sky lounges. Other than that the CSR is better and it’s easier to make use of the $300 travel credit

They discontinued the $28 credit for priority pass effective August 1. I have heard conflicting reports of whether this is for all priority pass or just those who get it through AMEX. Worth looking in to

Thank you for the clarification pwc 1!

I have to support my family financially. Usually my mom cooks for the family so groceries only cost $1200/month. However, my mom is abroad for 2 months so it’s just my siblings and they can’t cook so they’ve been using my card for doordash. I think there are days when they spend $100+/day. It’s frustrating because my mom already told them the daily budget repeatedly. I’ll go bankrupt at that rate. However, it’s not like I can take my card back since I don’t want them to starve…

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?
