With the annual fee increase of Chase Reserve, which is better credit card now? Chase Reserve or Amex Platinum. I use it for all my daily spend for a household of 5

I've been a big CSR fan and used it for years. That said I think it's gotta be Amex plat. The new CSR credits are going to be a pain to collect. 150 x 2 at random "CSR tables" and 150 x 2 at high end hotels for 2 nights twice a year? Those are hard to collect.

Yeah there's still some nice perks of CSR but I don't think the value is really there right now.

If you are traveling every week. Bound to happen if not more. While I bill the hotel fee to client. I just buy random stuff like perfumes, clothing and Tumi bag once and got reimbursed. So easy 2-3K/ year

My suggestion is getting some card diversity in your wallet. Neither are great for all of your spend. Between the two, it’s probably CSR since Amex Plat is basically useless outside of flights

But you’re better off combining one of these with cards like VentureX (2x floor on all spend), Amex Gold (4x grocery), Freedom (5x quarters), etc.

We as a community need to stick together to make the value of SLPs known. When I was just starting in the field for my CFY I was offered $31/hr for a job in an SNF (in 2018). At this time I was fresh out of college and did not know what pay to expect because no one talks about it. - I did not take the job due to it being a little over an hour from my home but later learned that was not a good rate. I currently still feel as if I am underpaid. Add your city, state, setting, pay, etc
