I love my Amex Platinum and have had for a very long time. But the CSR is appealing...convince me why I should move to CSR? I'm aware of the bonuses, etc and it sounds generally better but...

Don't cancel it. If you want to shift card usage, downgrade the card to a Freedom or Freedom Unlimited

$300 travel credit, 100k point bonus = $1500 in travel, also has priority pass, has similar program to FHR. I had a platinum for 10 years and canceled for CSR. Amex let their luxury product slip.

At least do it for three months so you can get the 110,000 bonus points after spending $4000 on it. Then you can cancel before the first year is up to avoid the second annual fee. Those are super flexible points to have.

D1 won't that hurt credit score?

I've had Amex Plat for about a decade and I love it. I also got a CSR this morning. That sign up bonus more than covers the fee and I generally think the points are better (at least given my spending habits). I haven't decided whether or not to cancel the platinum card.

Never thought about canceling it and just jacking the points hmmm

OP it's true that all these cards are generally most valuable in first year. If you cancel after 1 year it should only have minor impact on credit score

Thanks all

Is priority pass worth it?

The bonus ($1000 cash back or $1500) in trvael pays for, at least the first six years of the card when you consider the $300 annual trvael credit you receive (essentially making the fee $150). If you travel often, you can easily recoup the fee in two or three months. The card is an absolute steal for those who travel often

I travel a lot but it is all expenses except for a couple of family vacations a year usually financed by AA and SPG points alone

It means ICOs are no longer open to anyone. You have to be a certified investor with the SEC. This is why Filecoin is conducting their ICO with CoinList instead of on their own. CoinList ensures their ICO is only open to certified Wall Street investors and makes sure FileCoin's ICO is treated as a normal IPO.

Granted please correct me because IPO investing is something I don't know a ton about.
