Had Marriott Gold through Amex Plat, just got knocked down one tier on the new system. Benefits are really decreasing on Amex. Time to switch to Sapphire Reserve? Thoughts? Experiences?

This is the same benefit that the original SPG Gold got you - the Marriott match was a higher tier and a temporary thing. I still think the plat is worth it but I have both cards. Travel and restaurants go on CSR and purchases go on the Amex.

A1 I like that take on it. I just find most of my purchases are travel and restaurants, so might make sense to crossover

Also depends which airlines you transfer points to

I have both and the CSR was always better OP 😆

A1 I fly delta which is why Amex makes sense

T1 That’s what it’s starting to look like, need that huge sign on bonus to make the jump though

It's 50,000 points right now, I wouldn't expect it to go higher than that anytime soon
Also, look up the 5/24 rule if you are not familiar with it
