Thinking about getting the Chase Sapphire Reserve, any cons I should know about? Is there another card you’d recommend?

No real cons above the $150 fee. Still the gold standard for travel cards

Probably meant effective annual fee, since it’s extremely easy to use the $300 travel credit

It all comes down to where your spend is / what perks you want. CSR is awesome for misc travel and protections and ok for dining

Amex gold lost value recently by restricting the ability to purchase gift cards with airline credit

It’s a very good card. Would recommend checking out the “chase trifecta”. You may wanna add another card later (chase freedom or freedom unlimited) to maximize point value.

If you fly delta a ton or have an centurion lounge in your airport, the AMEX platinum is also an option. Could combine with gold Amex to maximize points (gold earns 4x on dining and grocery stores, platinum is 5x in travel). Add an everyday Amex for the “Amex Trifecta”

Hmm a friend told me about the “chase trifecta” to maximize point value as well. I currently have the regular corporate AMEX and I only need just one credit card (I don’t do a lot of heavy spending) so I’m hoping the CSR will be good for me

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
