It’s getting harder to justify that sapphire annual fee

Same ^

Why pay two high premiums though? Does it really justify itself paying a total of <$700 a year for credit cards? I already have the global entry and TSA benefit via CSR and priority pass is closed so benefits are eh

Agreed - I’m surprised spending nearly $1000/year isn’t a reason for many not to get both

The CSR is perfect for everyday things. They pay $120 towards peloton each year now and let you use the $300 travel credit fir groceries. Plus you get money for DoorDash credits

Already got one 😏

Chase reserve released a new feature, if you apply points to purchases, you get 50% more points.

For example, if 1000 points can pay off $10 purchase, then you’ll get 1500 points and can pay off the $10 and a $5 purchase

I like this feature, not sure if Plat has something like this or better

I like it too. I bought a house last summer and had to buy a washer and dryer, and I redeemed points to get back about $2100 back on my $3k purchase from Home Depot.

I normally do (downgraded my AmEx corporate platinum earlier this month because I didn't want to pay a $550 fee when I'm getting no benefits). The primary reason I had the platinum card was to use the centurion lounge, which l did all the time when traveling. I'll re-upgrade my card when I can travel again. My CSR is my everyday card; I've had it for years, and I love it. Most people who don't see the point in having multiple premium cards have an issue with the fees, but I think it's worth it for the key benefits that do not overlap.

Threatened to cancel my am ex and got a $500 credit towards the fee this year

Amex plat more then pays for itself. Chase shappire is my everyday for the points and almost pays for itself. Get both.

I have both and the Amex gold, can justify it all

Why Amex plat over CSR? I never found Amex redemption to be good...

I made a mistake starting SIP in a ULIP. Used to invest 7500 per month starting from November 2018. I have discontinued my premium payments since last year. That is when my fund was moved to an interim surrender state and now it earns 4% per annum interest.

After 5 years of lock-in that is November 2023, can i withdraw the entire amount at a time? (Of course after paying surrender charges)
