Those who have the Amex Plat and/or the CSR, would ultimate combo be being an authorized user on the platinum for the lounge/hotel status perks and a full user/purchaser on the CSR for points value?

Depends, is he plat primary user making you pay the $175? Or jusst 1/3 of the $175 for 3 auth? Or $0. If $0, then yes, thats good enough. You get concierge and spg/marriott gold. If you are having to pay $175 it might be worth investing in the card if u uber frequently

As for points, CSR is the best no doubt in my mind.

Only $88 max out of pocket for me

Then yea, I would say thats a pretty sweet deal. Ultimately the plat costs $150 if u take out the $200 from travel reimb and $200 uber credits... all the other benefits u will be getting... the plat offers $100 global entry/tsa precheck per user so u get that and u get all the hotel status and concierge so I dont see why not for half the price

Thanks for the reassurance. I love the perks of plat and don’t want to give them up so I was between getting my own plat or the CSR depending on the better points redemptions but it sounds like this is the best of both worlds.
