Time for me to repost the “69 reasons I love the CSP and CSR cards and you should have BOTH” 🙂

Post is developing nicely tomorrow…

I take that back. I am going grocery shopping with my CSR. Time to cash out quickly.

I was looking at my CSR yesterday. The benefits are almost all travel related, and even the $300 annual credit for travel costs is no gimmie in today’s world. Even if I get the credit and the net fee is down to $150, how much will I charge at restaurants and hotels to get that back? I bet Chase will have to make major fee concessions this year-didn’t Jamie Dimon say they had invested $300 million in the CSR launch?

I’m thinking of dumping the CSR and using my wife’s CSP for a while. I am also looking at the Amex Gold with 4x for supermarkets and restaurants worldwide, with no forex. Coupled with the Schwab Platinum, that’s 5x cash back, and I think cb is the game now. The Amex Gold has a $250 fee with a free AU card. Annual credits are $100 airline and $120 Grub Hub, which I will eventually talk myself into using as soon as I figure out how to keep the driver from picking off the sausage.

Regarding TPG it’s hard to justify renewing CSR at “only” $450 a year.

Together we can show TPG what blogging is all about…

Rain is back…

No word about the TPG app, have not heard anything at all.

I think you are right about PPP saving TPG. Let’s see what happens after the PPP period ends…assuming there is no PPP round 2…or is it round 3? Who’s counting at this point…

Yeah, I was shocked too about the Ritholtz guys helping themselves with a PPP bailout as well. I could have helped myself but there is no way I could face myself in the mirror the next morning. Yeah, they won’t be doing any exclusive videos or podcasts about how they helped themselves with free money from the government, sad! Then again, one of them interviewed the man, the myth, the legend…the one and only ladies and gentlemen, the Points Guy lol.

Well said, padre.

I am not concerned about the air in the cabin, I am very concerned about the lack of social distancing…actually, the impossibility of any social distancing at all, inside the plane. Who knows where they have been….beaches in Fort Lauderdale, pools in Houston, etc. 🙂
