What makes the CSR card worth it to you? I will definitely be using the $300 travel credit so just trying to to justify the $150 AF now. (cont.)

Pretty sure liability is not covered since that could get pretty expensive on the underwriting side.

Either way through the combination of insurance products are very useful, but you need to know what's covered and what isn't to make the most of it.

When you use chase points for travel, it’s 50% discount which adds up if you book lots of hotels or flights

It’s a 50% bonus which is a 33.3% discount. It’s not really a “discount” though it’s just what the points are worth

Travel insurance is very helpful. Have used it to reimburse clothes when bags delayed, overnight stay when flight cancelled, etc.

Use it for a year. Look up the $ value per point esrned on the point guys website. Total the points earned in 1st year (minus bonus points), and see if thats more than $100. If it is, and if you plan to spend that much in future, its worth. $50/year for having tsa precheck and glibal entry and SOME lounge acces is worth. *emphasizing on some because priority pass nowadays is a joke, they took out a ton of loues from being accessible through it.

I am looking at the Uber Visa card too, and it seems like the most value in difference is the GE+TSA+PP.

I dont think my personal flights every year will exceed $1k and all other will be on corporate card. Majority of travel is bus tix to work office on local projects (~$3200 if full year local, maybe ~$1400 if travel). Most of my spending comes from dining (bars + restaurant) and online orders (Amazon + clothes).

I currently hold no credit cards besides Amex Corporate to earn on travel but am pre approved for CSR. Which is better of the two cards (uber / csr)? Should I get both eventually? Salary is currently 75k.

If you want cash back Uber card, if you want aspirational travel CSR
