With the new price increase, should I get a CSR or the Amex plat?

If you work for D or another firm that’s part of the Amex Corporate Advantage Program (https://www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/gcpadvantage/login/?eep=36010), the $150 annual fee credit is a big incentive to get the Platinum over CSR.

Alas no lol, otherwise that would’ve made the decision easy

CSR

I initially had a problem with the $100 increase on the CSR, but it's February 22, and because of the 10x point earn and 15% savings for Lyft, I've already made it all back. Just an FYI in case anyone was curious.

Depends on how much you travel and eat out. If you don’t it’s not worth $450.

Well I do enough for either one of these cards, my question is just which one!

If you travel even a little for work and for pleasure, both

It's a lot at first, but you get a lot of it back in credits with Uber, travel, inflight WiFi or beverages, etc.

USB Altitude Reserve. Must be existing USB customer. CSR if you Lyft a lot.

The sign-up bonuses with the perks (for both) will make it worth it for at least 2 years even if you don’t use the cards much. If it ends up not being worth it you can just downgrade them.
