Newbie here. What’s the best card at the moment for a person who is expecting multiple(<6) international trips (mostly to Asia from NA) in 2021(fingers crossed). I looked into Amex Platinum but Idk if 6 trips are good enough for the steep 550$ charge. I already have a Chase sapphire preferred and discover cards and don’t actually have a preference for airlines. Would appreciate any recommendations!

Are you charging them to your personal card? What about hotels? What airlines and hotels do you stay at?

Amex plat almost pays for itself with all the offers and you get access to delta lounges and centurion lounges.

Chase Sapphire reserve is good too and again will pay for itself for me this year with all the offers.

CSR, 100%

Chase sapphire reserve is great, but they raised the annual fee to $550 so it’s in the same class as Amex Platinum. Depends on what perks matter more to you more personally

Yeah but the $300 statement credit is comically easy to redeem, so you’re really looking at $250 for the CSR.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
