Depends on the pricing for BCG but I’d recommend just getting a personal one if you want a platinum or gold card

Definitely worth it considering the amount of travel rewards you earn with it.

I love paying my credit card for the right to have them charge me for interest

funny

Also showing a fundamental misunderstanding of credit cards anyway. You don’t pay interest if you pay it off at or before statement time, and you earn Cashback or rewards in most CC ecosystems so they’re literally paying you to use their card.

It depends on what you’ll use it for. Look at the perks first before applying for either card. This will determine if it’s the right card for you.

Agree with BCG1, and I additionally think sapphire reserve has much better perks especially synergies with the other chase cards, same price as the platinum too.

I disagree... The really flexible travel credit + 1.5x UR redemption rate for flights + Dashpass until 2024 + $5/mo DoorDash credit + Instacart Express makes it worth it without doing anything else...which, admittedly, is good, because most of the other benefits suck.
