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.
Normally I'd agree. I have CSR and wife has Amex Plat, it's been atrocious trying to get into Centurion Lounges and Delta. Have to be flying Delta and the queues for Centurion are often hours. We use my CSR as the priority pass lounge selection is wider. Yes chase Sapphire reserve has a higher tier priority pass than Amex.
People are keeping these cards? Churning is the way to go. I have had Chase sapphire bonuses three times in the last ten years. It used to be 24 months but now it is 48 months.
One of the best card, I had this card since lunch with 100k bouns
Basically 250 (150 until last year) is annual fee if you do travel atleast once a year

HOURS?! Jeez...that's crazy. When I was last in Vegas I got to the airport a bit early and the line to get into the Centurion lounge had to be 50+ deep. Do people really wait hours to get in? Are they mental? Centurion lounge is fine, but not worth waiting that long!

Agreed. I opened AMEX Platinum this year and will close before AF. But with AMEX Platinum you are only supposed to be able to get the sign up bonus once...ever. But somehow I got a targeted offer for 150k so I took the gamble and got the sign up bonus. But I was a little confused by that.
With CSR Chase had been significantly reducing the AF if you called to cancel and that's why I had kept my CSR for several years because it was still a great value and I have like 400k+ points so didn't really need to churn it. But this last year they refused to discount the AF so I canceled it. I will reopen it once my AMEX Platinum is gone.
2 years ago when I was debating whether CSR or Plat., I went for platinum and I am glad that went with it. It also depends on how it personally caters to you to break even the fee and reap some extra benefits. If just looking for priority pass CC, there are so many in the market with that general benefit and you'll see crowded areas in those lounges. However, Amex adds a lot more additional lounges to the list. I like the status that I receive for Car rentals and hotels (I love this perk), then twice a year I buy a $50 or more gift from Saks for my wife (almost for free). Then I do use the airline credit, many times not completely. Then I love the TSA/GE AND CLEAR membership. Uber eats credits, walmart+, NY Times, and Sirius XM easily cover a good chunk of the fee. The best is the Amex offers that start providing positive cash back in your pocket while earning points. Currently earning bonus points at best buy and olive garden. You can simply search slickdeals about how many Amex offers have been published YTD. The only drawback is the hefty fee.
My wife and I both have/had Chase cards and we funneled all of the points into my CSR account. I've got ~250,000 points in there now, built up over a few years. I'm considering using them all before my card renews and then dropping the CSR until I requalify for an intro bonus. I don't think I'm getting $250 of value each year, since I'm not traveling as much now that I've got a toddler.
You can get $15 back for using instacart. That's like Free $140 groceries from Aldi or Wagman's with free pickup.
I didn't realize the AMEX didn't have that dining credit. Although to be honest, for the decade plus I've had priority pass I think I've used the dining credit once. The airports I fly out of I guess don't have restaurants that offer it.
Do you know if the other non-lounge locations (Minute Suites, spas, etc.) are included with the AMEX? Or is it strictly lounge access?
I fly out of DFW and the offerings are pretty terrible. The lounge is in the international terminal (so is the Centurion lounge for that matter) and I rarely fly out of there.
AMEX still has the lounge/massage access, yes. I know LGA and a couple of others have the massage spots that accept PP.
I have CSR, if I add my wife as an authorized user, she can have her own priority pass membership?
What about the TSA credit, is it one per account or she gets the credit too?
Thank you in advance. I have been trying to figure this out; even Chase customer support has not been helpful.
If you add her, then she gets her own PP and is eligible to use it for her own dining credit. PP actually sends a separate card with a separate account number on it. We've taken trips with either kids or two others and we both use our PP cards and end up getting 112 off the check.
I'm not sure as far as the TSA credit. I actually haven't used mine yet since our youngest just turned 2 and she was automatically getting PreCheck since my wife and I both have GE.

I already have the CSR and the Amex Platinum is just not worth it for me.

I read from another site that someone was able to call and get their SUB adjusted to the new one (80k).
