There's several that are $95 a year but don't really offer much other than the ability to transfer points--- if you don't travel significantly then your best route to max point value for travel is when you ARE finally planning a big trip, get the signup bonus for one of those cards (which will vastly outweigh the $95 fee) and do your transfers under that 1 year of $95 fee.
But if you travel a significant amount then getting- and keeping- the much higher fee CSR can be pretty profitable- especially if you can use some of the various monthly and annual credits for other things it offers.
Either way you have 2 routes to book travel with Chase in general-
ALL cards even free ones can use the chase travel portal... but free cards only get 1 cent per point this way so it's a waste of your time- just take 1 cent cash instead.
The $95 fee cards get 1.25 cents a point- which is still not terrific compared to most point transfer options.
The CSR gets 1.5 cents a point- which CAN be worthwhile in a few specific cases rather than transfers (for example to book Southwest Airlines-- because transfers to them usually only get you ~1.4 cents a point).
Chase points if you have a paid card transfer 1:1 to a bunch of Airlines...and several hotels (though only Hyatt is ever worth considering the rest suck for value of points).
For most airlines though (and also Hyatt hotels) you can usually get nearer 2 cents a point at the low end for coach fares or Hyatt hotels.... and often 4-6 cents a point or more for business or first class flights.
Typically if you just google something like "best use of chase points to X" where X is where you're wanting to go, you'll find all the usual travel blogs with posts about the best airlines and programs and values.
There's also more general ones lilke:

There are differences; a credit card has the best protections under federal law.
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/25/m...hless.html
"Lack of consumer protections
While many use debit, credit and digital payments interchangeably, the transactions don't have the same fraud protection under federal law, Mierzwinski said.
Credit cards have the most robust fraud protection under the Truth In Lending Act and Fair Credit Billing Act, with a $50 limit on losses. Debit card scams, regulated by the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, may have more liability, depending on when someone reports the activity.
Although digital payments have some protections under the EFTA, there may be no recourse for someone who falls victim to a phishing scam or accidentally sends money to the wrong account, said Mierzwinski. "
You seem confused about how this works.
Paying someone with a credit card via paypal is a credit card payment and you get your full credit card protections.
PLUS you get added paypal ones.
It's actually better not worse.
You seem to be conflating that with sending someone a digital bank-funded paypal payment- which has nothing at all to do with this deal.
Freedom and Freedom Flex get 5x UR points every quarter, max $1500 spend per card, in rotating categories. This deal is about Q4s categories.
Freedom Unlimited is an entirely different card that (outside of its signup bonus) just gets 1.5x UR on everything.
The freedom (no extra words) is no longer available to new customers to open but had been around for a couple decades and AFAIK you can still product change existing other visa chase cards into it. It gets the same 5x quarterly earning as the Flex, has the same $1500 a quarter cap, but is a VISA and does NOT get the 3x on drugstore and dining the Flex does.

Costco only counts how much you spend on qualified purchases in a year- they don't care how you pay for it.
https://www.costco.com/executive-rewards.html
Specifically the section headed:
Calculation of 2% Reward
whereas freedom is visa which can be used in costco/sams.
Also, tried on chase explorer card but no luck…
Damn so you're saying I could've bought Costco gift cards online with Discover? I messed up royally then because my first year with Discover It card they match the cash back rewards so instead of 5% it would've essentially been 10%. Fck!!!!
