General flexibility lies with sapphire

like

I have both. Points redemption rate for Amex is borderline offensive. CSR is great.

Also have both, just use Platinum for transfer partners. I like being able to diversify my points a little. Plus the Platinum purchase and return protection benefits are really really good

If you fly out of an airport with a Centurion lounge AMEX....otherwise Chase

I’ll say or if you fly Delta regularly. I used it for delta lounge access and it was great. Then I moved to NJ now sadly stuck with United

They are both great cards. I think the biggest drawback to Amex is when traveling abroad. Lots of smaller retailers don't take Amex. Not a huge deal, but I like the flexibility of visa.

@A2 then you are right. I live in Europe now and typically fly economy with my family so Lounge access helps us a lot

If you fly delta, get both. If you don’t, only the CSR. The effective Amex out of pocket of 110 is well worth lounge access

My AD coworker (not currently my partner) just got hired at a new agency and wants to bring me along as his writer. I'd love to join. He told the recruiter at that agency about me and sent my book. I also have another former coworker (creative) who put in a good word for me.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..

This all happened on Friday, if that matters. Thanks!
