Gold is the best if you spend a lot at grocery stores / dining

CSR is also an option if you spend a lot on travel (parking, Uber, flights, etc...)

I’d look into CSR and Uber combined

Good is best for dining
Let me know if you want the referral

Also if you don’t want rose gold use incognito to get 50k bonus

Gold + Platinum combo is the way to go

When I say Gold, Rose Gold is implied
