Which credit cards would you recommend? I plan to upgrade my Chase Sapphire Preferred to Reserve when the pandemic is finally over, and I am thinking of getting a Marriott Bonvoy card. Is it worth adding a Delta card and a Hyatt card? (Ignore my pro status, I am clueless lol)

Well my first thought is would it make more sense to open the CSR new and hit the new account bonus, then convert the CSP to a regular Sapphire (with no AF), rather than converting the CSP to a CSR?

Re the branded cards, I have none—just a CSR for now but thinking of going all BoA and potentially Apple Card when my CSR annual fee is up next month

Thanks D1, great hack!

Capital ones new Venture X is pretty solid and competes well with Amex/Chase premium cards imo

Travel credit cards are essentially for road warriors. There’s little point in paying the annual fee for them.

Get the Amex Gold and Chase Sapphire Reserve / Preferred and call it good.
