I currently have the CSP and looking for my next credit card. I originally thought about the Amex Plat but I can’t utilize all of the perks and therefore not sure I can justify the annual fee. I have some upcoming travel purchases that would easily get me a SUB but unsure what to get.

Capital One Venture X! Best travel credit card out there among the low fee options. I also use it as a catch all card because it earns 2x points on everything.

Happy to share my referral.

feel free to ‘em for referral or any questions!!

Chase freedom pairs well with it since you can transfer the points to the CSP for 1.25 redemption

You can get multiple subs as long as their different cards. I’d recommend the chase business; happy to refer you

If you’re hesitant on plat, the gold might be worth considering. 3x on points (instead of 5 with plat) when buying flights. Has a 90k SUB + $200 statement credit out there right now via select referral (happy to provide if you lean that way).

I justify my gold because the Uber + grub hub credits pretty much make the card free. I Uber or order takeout (typically pickup) via Uber eats to get that monthly spend and do the same for the monthly grub hub credit.

If you aren’t leaning Amex, the venture x is a solid option as previously mentioned

I just got an Amex Plat because I had international travel plans that would could towards the spend. It’s a good card for the first year easily and even further if you travel frequently. You will more than break even on the annual fee
