Expecting a big cc purchase soon. Currently have CSR, downgraded CSP, freedom, IHG, SPG AMEX. Fly delta (no status ☹️) and stay at Marriott (plat) weekly. Which credit card should I get?

@A1 Delta card doesn’t give you status. Just 1 checked bag and zone 1 at most

Get the delta CC then for the miles and status and cancel b4 a yr to avoid annual fee (waived first year). Then by next yr u'll hopefully have the status so canceling card won't matter and u now have the miles

Once u get to the speed limit for the miles go back to using CSR as primary

I haven't been on Delta for a while but it used to give u the entry level status (better than none) ... Maybe not anymore

Yeah I already have zone 1 and a free checked bag because of EY. Would any delta cards give me sky priority or a greater chance of getting an upgrade?

Delta reserve will help on upgrade priority only if you have status already. It does come with 10k MQMs bonus. Perhaps that could help push you over the edge. Sky priority may still not happen (only gold and up) However you’ll get sky club access with the card.
