Which credit card do you have of the two and why? Chase Reserve or Amex Platinum? Anyone keeps both?

They're both pretty cheeks if we are being honest. Glorified coupon books.

Venture X + CSP/CIP + BBP for all the basic travel perks (lounges, global entry) and transfer partners. Replace CSR with Ritz if you value Sapphire lounges.

With Plat going to to $895 soon and still a bunch of garbage credits, the only really value is Centurion lounges if those matter to you.

Both, plus a couple of other top tired ones. Personal travel + other benefits throughout the year pays for all of the annual fees.

Can you elaborate please? How and what tips?

I have the Platinum but waiting to see if I want to switch to CSR after they announce the refresh.

Same but reverse. Seems like the new CSR is largely following the coupon book model of platinum. If it’s going to be a pain to use my benefits, I might as well just switch for the better lounge network. The Sapphire lounges are excellent but there’s like 5 of them

Platinum for lounge access primarily but I also use the uber eats and entertainment credits and airline incidentals benefit

I currently have both and plan to cancel my Amex platinum during my renewal window and keep the chase reserve because the benefits are more attractive to me. I may eventually cancel the chase reserve just because the fees are huge and the coupons may not be worth it

I’m thinking of dropping my AmEx Plat, I’m not traveling a whole lot these days due to a baby and after having had it for maybe 8-9 years, I’m feeling like i need to keep refreshing my memory of the perks

I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?
