Any value in holding onto the CSR given the new 3% back on dining on CFU? Only benefits I see would be 3x on travel and 1.5x on redemption through UR portal

My company is paying for one credit card. I'm leaning towards Amex Platinum given the large 100k sign up bonus at the moment (which I'll be able to hit). People lean towards CSR because of the 3x on dining but I don't eat out that much (and additional perks, but I prefer the Amex for that).

Should I grab the Amex Plat and not think twice?? Thanks!!

Need help: my dad did an interview for US citizenship in May and he passed but they said they will do some ‘investigation’ and will hear back within 120 days.

How do I set a quote for two blog pages? A company reached out to me on LinkedIn hoping to revamp their web copy for two pages. They said they had to quickly change it given the FDA guidelines and it’s not enticing enough for them. It requires a fair amount of cultural expertise and I don’t want to undersell or spook them either. Any advice on how to approach this? I also want to have a rider for corrections, revisions and extra meetings etc.
