Then I'd say an Amex platinum if you can get 60k MR to sign up or SPG if you can do better than 25k. Or double down on UR and get a CSP.

What has you wanting another card besides the CSR exactly? Probably something specific to your travel preferences like SPG if you stay at SPG hotels. Platinum is of course great for lounges, Uber, and more travel credit.

Spg biz is 35k for 7000 spend right now if you can hit that

AMEX Plat is def the right call. Especially since it gives 5x on flights, it’s the right combo for CSR (use on everything else)

EBT has the best benefits by far. No annual fee either

Amex platinum

Already spent the 100k bonus that comes with the CSR. Looking for a card that can provide good points and benefits for this year. A hotel specific card can be a good idea, but I like flexibility since I tend to hop between hotel brands.

Thanks SC1

@D OP for work travel we are required to use company AMEX.

EY1 - What is EBT?

Found a capital one card that gives 10x on hotels and 2x on all others. This could be a good idea. CSR does cover 3x on flights already.

I moved back in with my parents in August, and my mom and stepfather have demanded monthly rent.

I bought a VR headset a couple weeks back and my mom increased the rent because “I can afford it.” Is this normal? I honestly feel used. Fwiw I’ve worked since I was 13, and hustled my entire life.

The purpose of doing this is I want to use $10K of it, but want to prove that the $10K is from my contribution.
