Desperate times call for desperate measures. Chase took a card that rivaled the Amex Platinum and destroyed it in a matter of 12 months. With cards such as the Flex Freedom and the Flex Unlimted, there is no need for the Sapphire Reserve unless you use their travel portal for the additional 50% points. I went back to Amex after 2 years with the CSR card. I actually have both the Amex Platinum (for the 5 points for travel and hotels) and the Amex Gold (for the 4 points on Dining and Supermarkets) at a cost of $800 per year. This seems like a lot, but Amex has so many more bonus point opportunities than Chase. And if you use R@kuten, you can link those points to membership rewards. I have accumulated 220K points in a matter of 5 months. A big portion of the points came from bonus categories that Chase doesn't really offer. In full disclosure, I also received 100k in sign up points. So really I have accumulated 120K in points in 5 months which is still pretty good.
Chase is still allowing 50% off bonuses on redemptions to pay for restaurants for Reserve cardholders. That, combined with the net $150 annual fee, makes it worth it IMO.
Wut? Youre saying the sign up bonuses from cc offers like this arnt taxable? How so? They send 1099s out.... Which means they are taxable.
Credit Card MSRs are considered rebates and generally not taxable by the IRS. I have no idea what you're doing wrong or what 1099s you're getting, but they are not generally taxable income. Bank opening bonuses, however, are taxable.

Agree 100%
CSR is still very worth it in my opinion
Thank you for your reply. I did not cancel before Nov 2020. I did not use the points to "Pay yourself back" before downgrading. I did not know. What are my best options now.
Thanks

You can reapply if cancelled before Nov. 2020. Hope you used those points to "Pay yourself back" before downgrading.

Not sure you can reapply for the same card but you can apply for CSP on 21st to see if that works..
If you are within30 days, you can also call them to move back to CSR if they allow after downgrading. You may endup paying AF again. Others can chime in if there is another way.

Credit card bonuses from minimum spend requirements aren't taxable. Referral bonuses, however, are. Source: I'm a CPA.
There have been occasional DP's of 1099's being mistakenly sent out, but those have been rare.
Gosh, there's a lot of wrong info in this thread. I recommend anyone here to ignore most of these posts and get your info from Doctor of Credit.
