Just realized the Amex Green is actually a pretty solid and highly underrated card. 3x on dining, transit, and travel (broad definition of travel) with $150 annual fee but you do get $189 statement credit for CLEAR (making it free). Kinda wish I had gotten that instead of the reserve.

Reserve’s better imo - 3X Chase is better than 3X AMEX. Priority pass restaurants, 10X on Lyft, and travel insurance benefits are very good.

I keep considering platinum because just straight priority pass is garbage at my locations. No lounges open or available except really off hours. A couple bucks restaurant credit doesn’t cut it.

Reserve gives you $300 travel credit in calendar year 1 and $300 in calendar year 2 for only one $550 annual fee so you come out $50 ahead

FYI - I think Chase “fixed” this

Only appealing thing is transit if you spend a good amount commuting, and I guess the clear membership if you don’t have the platinum and would pay it anyway.

3x on dining is good, but not great

3x on all travel too
