I have the CSR right now but don’t really redeem trips on it since I use other airline and hotel pts. I’m thinking about getting the delta reserve so I can get sky club access too. Thoughts on the cc?

What is your preferred hotel? Ultimate rewards points can be transferred to some partner airlines and hotels. Also, I’ve had several trips where chain hotels aren’t available and the Ultimate Rewards options are fantastic...Bermuda for example doesn’t have any Marriott or SPG properties....I’d rather pick the destination I want and figure how to maximize my point value getting there, than limit myself to locations served by my preferred airline and hotel chain

Oh true, I forgot that the amex play gives dal and centurion access. Thanks for reminding!

Same thoughts here. Following!

Not a good card other than the lounge access. Are you basically saying you have so many airline/hotel points that you never get around to using the CSR points?

Pretty much. Even if I redeem the points, I usually end up booking my preferred hotel and airline so I can get the upgrades.

That’s true. But I’m thinking more on a day to day basis rather than saving for a big trip.

Anyone with experience on both cards tether one way or the other?

I think not many people have that card OP. I feel like it's really a personal question you need to answer - do I value Delta lounge access enough to give up the many benefits of the CSR ($300 travel credit, much greater value from any spend, Priority Pass lounge access, etc.)
Amex Platinum also gives you Delta lounge access, but only when flying Delta (and also comes with Amex Centurion lounge access, which are easily the best lounges available in the US). It's a far better card than the Delta Reserve card, have you considered that as another option?
