For me, the math on the CSR is becoming hard to justify. The lounge benefit is losing restaurants, the annual fee increased, I don't get a ton of value out of the DoorDash benefit. This is probably my last year, but I might be enticed by another signup bonus like this.

I hope the referral for the 85K promo works for people. I was under the impression that it's either 85K in branch, or 75K with the referror getting the additional 10K. But I'm not sure. If you do it in branch, there's no referror getting anything.
My in branch experience was great. I made an appt, and I was in & out in 15min, and I got a printed page with the offer on it (75K for $4K in 3mo, 85K for $6K total in 6mo). My banker confirmed it's an additional $2K for the extra 10K points, and if I wanted to charge the $6K on day 1, I would get the 85K soon after that (no need for the 6mo).
Also, banker 'expedited' the card to me (I asked how fast I'd get the card, I had big payments to make soon). I will get it ~2 days via UPS delivery at my door.
So as the other poster mentioned after me, your car insurance covers liability sometimes. You need to check if car rentals are covered. Mine for example covers cars but doesn't cover uhaul like trucks. If you don't own a car then you don't have insurance so you have to cover the whole bill.
Primary vs secondary rental coverage isn't related to liability.
It's worth noting that USA car rental fees that I've seen is a lot less than European fees. Currency exchange may be a factor but it's also because USA liability is optional charge and not mandatory/built in.

Here is my personal experience:
Most of the time, flight and hotel reservations booked through Chase were routed through Expedia with the lowest tier (aka no carry on). When I had trouble with reservations, I called Chase travel support, waited for them to call me back, explained my problems, then waited for Chase to talk to other travel agents. Chase support are great but the total wait time is 2-3 hrs for most troubleshooting.
I'd rather transfer the points to airlines and book through them.
