Like you, the lounge access is the most important perk to me. It has been a real life saver several times... either to relax in when I'm exhausted during a long layover, or when I'm in a rush and need some quick grub.
Besides that... 5X / 10X points when you book travel through the Chase portal? That's worth something, although half the time it seems like the airfares in the Chase portal are higher than booking directly with the airline. So I dunno.
I'm pretty much in the same bot as you on CSR vs CSP. Main perk is lounges. But I travel less now. And their lounges become more and more difficult to get in due to capacity controls, which bothers me. restaurant credit instead is nice, but there's often not enough time for that unlike a quick lounge visit.
I'm also thinking that if I pay for the lounge out of pocket, it's usually $27. $155 difference will buy me 5+ visits. With no capacity control, I think. Is that enough for the year? Maybe, depending on whether you travel alone.
And, damn, Reserve customer service is very good. They sent me replacement cards for free to Europe and did a few other nice things over the years. Not sure it's worth $250 a year, but it's a nice little luxury.
I had CSR SUB well over 4 years ago, CSP SUB a year ago Thinking of canceling CSP and signing up for CSR in a month. Do I read it right in this thread that I wouldn't get CSR SUB?
If online, chances are slim, but you can call sapphire helpline and see if they are willing to do it for you.
Thanks. I went to the branch, and they matched the new promo. However, my account is still showing 60k instead of 75k.

Yea. I posted this more for the 85k CSP bonus. CSR isn't justifiable for most people.
