I have the sapphire reserve. It has some decent perks - the rewards are good, though they're mainly travel focused. I also bank with chase so i like having everything on one dashboard. The annual fee is very high though.

I've thought about switching to Amex platinum, it's main competitor, in the past. Access to lounges would be nice, though the sapphire reserve is opening its own lounge network. I've mainly stuck with the card because I have enough points (over 300k) that I'm sort of chained to it, and i travel internationally a fair bit and Amex is harder to use overseas.

You should wait until they run their big sign-on deal. I got mine last year and if you spend 4k in the first 3 months, you get 100,000 reward points. This nets to $1,000 in cash back or $1,250 towards travel (flight, hotel, etc). My free flight to Paris leaves in 6 hours 🙂

$1,500 travel or pay yourself back statement credits if you have the CSR rather than CSP.

I have heard if you book through their portal and have any flight issues it can be a complete disaster.

I have the CSR, I like it. Even if not traveling thr pay yourself back has been worth it. The $550 fee between the travel credit, global entry/tsa, and other perks they’ve added like peloton etc, plus travel insurance is nice

I have the Sapphire Preferred and it’s the most used card in my wallet. It pays for itself through the perks it offers and rewards for both travel AND dining.

Thank you

I have the reserve and love it. I got global entry (includes TSA pre) and Priority Pass which I LOVE. Points are great.
It all depends on you and what you value. The annual fee is high but you get a lot do it back w credits.

Worth noting most premium ccs will give global entry and can be gotten for less than 500/yr. I do like my csp tho

I too have the sapphire reserve and the dining benefits are just as good as the travel benefits. The points accrue quickly and, for a while, they were offering a special, more favorable rate on “paying yourself back with points” so you didn’t have to use the points on travel to get the good conversion rate. (I think they are still offering this but not 100% sure)

I have a Sapphire too but recently got a Capital One Venture X, the benefits compare favorably, look into that too.

From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.
