Yes add Amex gold. 1000000%
Cancel CSR sign up for the CSP to cover general travel and add gold for dining + airfare
One correction: Plat gives you 5x on airlines booked through AmexTravel OR direct with an airline. Hotels have to be booked through AmexTravel
I have CSR/CF and Amex Plat. I like splitting the points across Chase and Amex - more options for spending them.
Yes, I downgraded my CSR to CSP. In my wallet, I have the Amex plat , Amex gold, CSP, and capital one venture X.
I use my Amex plat for all flights, high-dollar purchases, Amex offers. and almost all non category spend until I hit 75k; Amex gold for all food ( groceries and restaurants); venture X for everything else… CSP for Lyft or when nothing else works (never happened )
Agreed. Amex plat by itself is amazing. I’m try hard to focus on one points system. Amex has the best IMO.
CSR, by itself, is an amazing card: generous categories, useful point system (UR), adequate benefits, and wide acceptance (visa). I don’t recommend CSR coupled with Amex gold or plat. Pick one points system.
Can you define your goals ? What are you trying to achieve ? What is your current Amex balance (are you short and want to boost it with a sign up bonus ?) what is your Chase balance ? And what is the redemption you have in mind that your actions will help achieve. Without those very hard to provide any feedback on your generic question.
Thanks all! The consensus sounds like it’s probably still worth to keep the CSP rather than no fee, and the CSP + Amex gold AF is still less than CSR AF. If anyone has Amex Gold referral offers, please let me know!

Dm'd!
3x in general travel in UR is a good value. I’m never booking through Amex/chase/capital one for hotels. Amex gold I signed up for 90k points and $200 back on restaurants promo, seemed well worth it to be and 4x on groceries is one category I was under performing in. Benefits wise $220 in dining credits is also useful. Not too bad a combo. If you don’t book a lot of airfare or use non-PP lounges I might look at venture X
Personally if you’re not attached Clear + Centurion lounges I would scrap the Plat and keep the CSR. I have yet to go to a lounge since having the card since they’re always closed or crowded.

Yea I've definitely heard people complaining about it but luckily personally I haven't had to wait in line for the Centurion lounge yet and have been 9 times this year
