I use CSR. AmEx is hiking their AF to $550 anyways👎

I wouldn't anymore!!! Other better cards out there.

When I had Amex it was only like $80, and it was def worth it

They're hiking it up to $550 but also give you an additional $200 for Uber

Amex rewards is like $90. Definitely worth it. Amex platinum card is very expensive and not worth it at all (I recently downgraded back to green)

What is Amex rewards then?

You earn less points than you do on a platinum card

No

CSR

Each point is basically worth $.01. Figure out the fee and how much you'll charge.
