Fee free card like the Uber one. Can expense all business travel and travel 80%. Is it crazy to pay $1k in credit card fees

You get a lot of those fees back in value. Like the CSR does give you 300 back. I had the CSR and I am kicking myself for delaying getting the platinum card. For me everything else aside the access to the delta lounge was worth a huge value in terms of convenience to me. Plus living in NYC taking Uber to go shopping for groceries which I could charge against the platinum getting money back
