Thinking of getting the CSR, any way to do better than the 60k sign up bonus without waiting for a promo to come around?

Do CSP instead, it’s a great card. And then get the Amex Platinum. IMO that is one of the best combos available for credit cards. Let me know if you want a referral for either, I have both.

CSP has recently had 80k and 100k bonuses. You could get a CSP with the higher bonus then upgrade to the CSR.

Right now they are both 60k so probably better to wait for a promo

No, 60k is the best it will be for a long time. You could wait for a CSP 80k bonus then upgrade to CSR in a year

You know how frequently CSP does bonuses? I am looking to book united flights for May 2023, and want enough time to get the card, meet the spend, and transfer the points.

Why not get an amex and then book the flights with Amex points in the portal. Usually much higher welcome bonuses

Do not do this. Booking through the Amex portal is a terrible redemption.

If you want an Amex, book the United flights via Air Canada Aeroplan.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
