For someone spending ~$100k on a credit card in a given year, mostly travel / dinners, what card would you recommend if they don’t want any crazy combo? Was thinking CSP or CSR - They’re United loyalists but not tied long term.

CSR. 3x points on all kinds of travel (very broad definition) and dining. You'll get $300 credited back immediately on any travel expenses, which takes the AF down significantly, too. And you get those 3x bonus points regardless of where you purchase the travel; you don't have to purchase airfare through the chase travel portal, for instance.

That’s about my spend on the CSR and it’s gone well for me. I’m thinking of potentially downgrading to the CSP because it’s only 1 less point on travel. Only reason for downgrade is the stupid high annual fee.

I think at 100k you’ll get your money back on the premium card, especially Using priority pass if traveling. Venture X, CSR, Amex plat. Venture X has best offer currently

Citi prestige is interesting, especially if you can use the miles in their partner airlines as points transfer 1:1

What's the split of dining and travel? And what kind of travel? Mostly airfare?

Depending on the structure Amex gold could be better with lower annual fee + better earnings/partners (I have a preference for Amex over chase points)

Have you experienced and what dis you do about it?
