Is CSR hand-over-fist better than CSP? Or is it contingent on spend?

Travel credit is $300... net fee $150... only $55 more than CSP... 3x travel/dining vs 2x... 1.5cpp redemption vs. 1.25

You. Can. Calculate. This. Easily. If you spend $2,750 on travel and dining OR $22k on non/bonus categories, they are equivalent. Any more than that (in combo), and CSR is better. That doesn’t factor in Priority Pass, warranties, etc. Just earn/redeem.

Another indifference combo: $10k regular spend, $1,500 bonus spend

@D1 you don't have to cancel if all you want is the card. You wouldn't get the sign up bonus for the reserve if you've applied for and recieved the bonus on the CSP within the past two years.

yes, not really contingent on spend. only argument you could make is if you didn’t travel AT ALL and ended up effectively paying the $450 annual fee for the csr.

I’d guess 90% of us are well above these spend thresholds and CSR is better

The effective fee is $250 after the $200 travel credit (works with uber, cabs, parking, flights, ferry, etc.). Also points, if you don’t transfer, are worth more when booking through the portal. It’s worth it

I hear if you already got one, you can’t get the other. If I have csp, can I cancel that and get a csr assuming I have good credit?

Sry mixed up Amex plat credit

C1 - thx. Two year 😱 so long

D1, you can call in and do a product switch from one to the other if you're over 5/24

TSC1 - assume that won’t get me the signup bonus?

Unfortunately no
