My fiancé and I both have the CSR card and Freedom Unlimited combo and love them. We are thinking of adding another card and we were considering the Amex Platinum (to diversity transfer partners) or likely a United card for lounge access since we live in Chicago.

Does anyone else have both CSR and Amex Platinum? Would you recommend?

I have the CSP and platinum and I recommend. Especially if you get the gold too

I recently made the switch from CSR to CSP then signed up for AMEX Plat with a 150k SUB. I just got AMEX gold with a 90k SUB and plan on cancelling my plat after a year as the yearly fee is a touch too high for me, even after all the “couponing” I do with the plat.

Do you only use the Amex Platinum to purchase flights/hotels? And CSR for remaining travel?

I usually used Freedom for dining since it get 3x points and I can transfer to CSR. Sometimes convenience style places aren’t categorized as restaurants and this way I maximize my points regardless.

Yeah I really love the primary rental car insurance and baggage delay benefits with CSR but maybe I could do the same and just have my fiancé add me as an authorized user on his account

Has anyone reevaluated their retirement methods after a life-altering experience? I used to invest a lot more ($5k or so a month), but after losing one of my parents last year (mid-50s), I’ve wondered if it’s better to just enjoy life as we are living it. So, I started investing a lot less. But I always see people on here talking about all of these retirement schemes (backdoor Roth, mega-backdoor Roth, etc.) and I’m wondering if there’s a happy middle ground somewhere.

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location.

We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?
