    Sorry guys at 1:38 I mis spoke saying 24 months is 4 years, obviously it is 2 years, I was thinking of the 48 month rule for the bonus.

    The travel insurance really paid off for me. I had a cruise get cancelled and the fee to change my airline ticket was $300. The Chase insurance covered it, more than playing for the card.

    So many cards seem to be pumping the online groceries and not in store. It's disappointing.

    Agree about the groceries; that is why I have Savorone (and VentureX combo). I think Preferred dining 3x is good for using it abroad; I am often away in Europe. Got preferred yesterday and second bonus. I may just keep it for a while even though I have the venture.

    The shared dining multipliers across all chase cards seem silly but remember the CSP is for international travel. Those dining and travel multipliers are great when abroad. Can’t use any of the freedom cards to earn UR points abroad.

    As always, love your videos. If it were me, I would keep the Sapphire cards in the dining categories. Maybe 3x on the Preferred and 4x on the Reserve. Those are more status/entertainment cards so keeping dining makes more sense. The Unlimited is more an everyday, low key card so I would rather see that or the Flex shed theme 3x dining and pick up a 3x grocery category. I love Chase points but they definitely lack when it comes to a diversified portfolio of point earning categories.

    I used the $50 hotel credit last minute. Long story short, had an unexpected reason to stay out of town, booked the room and headed to the hotel. Took about two hours for it to show up in the hotel's system.

    You transfer your points to Virgin. Then you go into the Virgin website and book your flights where Delta is the travel partner so you can use your points. You can’t use the Virgin points on the Delta website but can use Virgin points for Delta planes offered in the Virgin website

    Sounds pretty good on the surface since you have already two cards with them. What’s your credit score and what are you credit limits? For CSP you need to be able to get approved for a min CL of 5k$. helpful if you have similar or higher limits already.

    Well, with a not great credit score (yet) and only low limits on your other cards I’d wait and be patient. I assume your score is just young. Nothing to worry. Ps: yes the CSP is not a good choice in your first year. You need more history. Good luck.

    12:07 I've had my Preferred for 4 years now, so does this mean that I could Downgrade it to Freedom, and sign up for Reserve, to get the sign on bonus? Would downgrading, reset the 2 year clock for applying for a new card?

    Yes, downgrade and then apply for a new sapphire card. 48 months from when you got the bonus last. Not the application date. Customer service can double check it if necessary.

    The CSP is just a $95/yr ransom for your Chase points. If Chase offered a similar WF Autograph card, that has no AF to transfer points, everyone would cancel the CSP.
