CSR, no brainer. Even if you were going to go Marriott, you actually end up earning more points per Marriott spend with the SPG card (and then converting SPG to Marriott points).

I have the CSR and love it! Earn a lot of points since travel and dining are 3x. If you spend a lot at hotels specifically though then the Marriott might be better since it’s 5x points on Marriott/SPG purchases

I have the Marriot Rewards Premier (I’m an exclusively Marriot/SPG guy when I travel) so I love the card and the 5x points (plus the $85/year is a no brainer). The 80k points they’re giving out now for signups is an all time high and if you’re really considering the card, Chase has a referral bonus too (shameless plug)

I have to admit the CSR looks really tempting, especially with my Global Entry/PreCheck expiring this year.

CSR all the way

Sapphire without a doubt. It paid for my 1st class seats to Asia and back...complement with the freedom and freedom unlimited to get the most points. And transfer all points to your Sapphire

Got the Marriott with 100k sign on bonus and no annual fee. Love it and made more sense for me than CSR

Is there a polite/gentle way to talk to your boyfriend about the fact that he has gained a lot of weight in the past year and needs more physical activity in his life?

I am not a very shallow person — he was already on the heavier side when we met. But when I look at photos from just a year ago, it’s clear he’s put on a lot of weight. I am worried about his health. I don’t want to overstep or make him feel insecure. Just wondering if anyone else has ever been here.

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
