Chase has good events and promotions in SF and NYC. They partner with high scale restaurants, Warriors, Knicks, Sundance. For me it's lacking a bit. My girlfriend has the platinum and loves concerts so it's ideal for her. Outside of 3x the points of food and travel, the CSR is starting to lose it's value if you're not in a preferred city (I'm in Miami)

Ah, the Knicks, there’s nothing like it
