Get the Amex Gold and CSP instead

I have CSP. CSR is only worth it if you deliberately use the benefits. Have to travel a lot too.

Yes

They’re only worth more if you use the portal, which is a pretty poor use of points imo

I think it’s worth it if you travel and dine out all the time and are also willing to commit fully to the chase ecosystem (also get the freedom and freedom unlimited) and pool points together, and are looking to do at least a few international trips a year. When i fit this demographic the card was wonderful. These days, in a different stage of life so i downgraded and don’t really use anymore.

Depends where you live and how much you travel. If your local airport has a centurion lounge then Amex Platinum is generally better

Love it personally but I also get to book work travel on my personal card

I travel a lot and spend a lot of time at airports (excluding work travel). I eat out a lot and order doordash a lot. It's well worth it to me

I liked it when the fee was $100 less. I’ve been struggling to see how I’m benefiting since they increased it recently. But I haven’t done anything about it since I already have the card lol. I don’t travel a lot anymore since Covid but maybe I’ll feel more positive about it once I start traveling again. I agree it’s worth it if the above folks’ comments apply to you though.

Yes! And you really have to think of it as a $250 annual fee because you get $300 in instant travel credits each year (Uber/Lyft included)

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!
