Currently have SPG card right now and thinking about getting CSR. I got plat status and use the card everywhere, but I feel like the points for things besides hotels are lacking - thoughts?

Absolutely right, CSR is a much better card. 3× on travel/dining, points are worth around 1.8 cents (leading to a return of 5.4%), and how Chase defines travel is defined is very generous. That plus the incredibly easy to use $300 travel credit makes it the best card on the market imo

@A1 I do like the points accumulating for me to get hotels for my SO and me.. would you advise still keeping the SPG card and have the CSR card as well?

I would keep the SPG card for the free night that you'll get every year alone, it's a new benefit that comes with the CC changes accompanying the combined program on August 1st.
Then, you can use that card for SPG/Marriott stays and the CSR for all travel/dining.
I actually use my CSR for hotels as well - their best redemption option imo is transferring to Hyatt.

OP if you get the reserve... #helpANewHireWithTheReferalPoints

How many points? Caribbean Marriott Cat 3 property, 5 nights. They have an issue with the boiler so no hot water and shower stops in between. Ice cold showers for 4 days in a row 🥶. Hotel phones don’t work because network is down and only local channels work on tv. Last night they had a huge leak in the lobby. They kept knocking stuff all night to fix it and then left a large floor fan running. I understand it’s tough reopening so don’t want to push, plus they upgraded our room at check in.
