You can generate points with this card more easily but AMEX has better lounge access. Boils down to do you how much do you travel.
annual fee is 550
It has never been 120k. The highest it's been is 100k

For me Priority Pass is pretty useless. Flying out of DFW there is only a lounge in the international terminal. And I just flew back from Paris and all the Priority Pass lounges were still closed due to covid! PP needs to get their shit together.

Centurion lounge ain't much better either.

Don't know why people are jumping on you for this. You literally disclosed the airport and the situation (international only). Flying out of SFO and Dulles via United, haven't used any PP perks in awhile. I still keep many cards including csr, amex gold and amex plat, but based on my RECENT PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, PP hasn't been much of a perk.

Quote from gtsh0pp3r :
Dude, that's your experience, lounges are ymmv and heavily depend on what airports you use. In my old home base airport, I used 2 different PP in addition to United, now that I moved, I have an awesome centurion lounge so no need to use a PP, but one is available if I fly out United in a different terminal.

Bottom line, lounges are very ymmv but they are definitely a perk to the card. Sorry you can't use this specific perk.
Yeah, for sure they're ymmv. For me they haven't been useful. For one of the busiest airports in the US (DFW) their offerings are terrible. And I previously lived in Orlando and their offerings there were just as bad (although it looks like they may have opened a second lounge there since when I lived there).

I know PP lounges are usually better outside the US so it was just funny that all the lounges at CDG were still closed due to the pandemic.

But I have been to a couple of decent ones (LAS, SEA) but I find I'm often going out of my way to use it.

And Centurion seems way overhyped now. The LGA one was nice, but the DFW one is on the same level as PP (mediocre) and the IAH one was a joke. I've never been to the LAS one because there is ALWAYS a line of 50+ deep waiting to get in. A complete joke.

Anyway, I guess I'm a lounge snob.

Dag nabbit. I opened barely a month ago for 60k, I knew I should have waited. First time I opened this card it was 100k.

I downgraded my CSR to another Freedom last year so I could apply for CSP when the 80,000 bonus appeared. I have 3 Freedom cards now plus the CSP, but will certainly be looking for that next big bonus when my 48 months are up. LMAO

Ya so they said it would be a special notation on the account and that I wouldn't see the total 80k points notated anywhere in my portal/profile. When I spend the $4k, they said I'd see 80k points added to my balance instead of 60k. I'll take their word for it and hopefully the 80k shows up.
Yea it sucks but at this I'm like whatever. I'll get the 60K for sure. As the kids are getting older and we are going to start to travel more. So hopefully this card will be just as useful. If not, I guess I have a year to cancel it and maybe try the AMEX Platinum card.

First time I'm trying a card that required payment on it.

We are going to test out this by doing some traveling this next year, see if it's worth keeping it.

Call the number on the back of your card and inquire about the 80k. They told me that applicants after 9/15/22 are eligible for the bump up.

If you have Global Entry, do you still need TSA PreCheck?
extraidNo, when you're granted GE, you get one trusted traveler ID... During flight booking or later in Manage Flights, you need to enter that number in the KTN or Known Traveler Number field to get Pre... Global Entry is via facial recognition or card so you don't need to enter the KTN to use that..
​Recommend Nexus over Global Entry. Nexus provides all the benefits of TSA Precheck & Global Entry, and adds expedited entry into Canada.

What is everyone doing with multiple Freedom cards? I already have CF, CFU and CFF. If I sign up for CSR, CSP then downgrade after a year then do we cancel or downgrade? If we already have CFU/CFF then we can't get new SUB for those either. When can we cancel older cards?

If my understanding is correct. I would always cancel my youngest card. I recalled reading have older card is a good thing.

I still prefer my Amex plat biz

$200 airline (I use JetBlue)
$200 x 2 dell credits (I do buy stuff from dell) and usually have other dell Amex promo like $120 off $600 or 10-% off
$120 wireless credit ($10 monthly)
That's $720 in credits alone

So for me. It works.

Honestly is extremely ymmv for everyone. If I try hard I can justify either reserve or AMEX. But I also won't want to go out of my spending pattern too much for either card.

Yup, certainly YMMV. I travel twice a year international, so the travel credits/priority lounge/TSA Pre-check/Global Entry are worth it. Also perks like doordash is a added bonus for which we would have paid extra.

Quote from DogAndPony :
I have had both (currently have AMEX Platinum, closed CSR earlier this year) and I much prefer CSR. The transfer partners are much better and that is what I primarily use my points for.

The AF on the Platimum is way too high and they a lot of their benefits are superfluous and not worth the extra cost of the AF ($100 credit at Saks, $200 airline FEE credit where you have to choose an airline at the start and it only applies to incidental fees (unless you game it on United which could go away at any moment), Walmart+ credit, $200 hotel credit for hotels I would never stay at, Uber cash, Soulcycle credit). A bunch of benefits that I would otherwise not use.

CSR HAD some of that, but the fee is a lot less, and again, better transfer partners which is the big thing.

This. Used to have both Amex platinum and CSR (I don't have either of them anymore) and CSR is much better in terms of using the travel credit. I use my chase point with my CS Preferred and transfer to Hyatt as that's some of the better redemption.

Amex platinum is good for earning points faster (5x for flights booked directly on airlines). Also if your home airport has a centurion lounge, those are much better than the priority passes lounge - especially after airlines lounges stopped accepting priority passes (Alaska for example).
