Chase Sapphire Reserve Rumored Change

That's not an issue for us. The Executive Membership which gives another 2% on Costco purchases, including Costco travel, rebates us almost enough to cover the membership. With the 5% on gas, 3% on travel, 3% on dining, and the fact that we are about a mile from Costco it works for us, YMMV.

I keep trying but I cant seem to justify the $695+ annual fee. I did get an AMEX Platinum welcome bonus offer of 175,000 miles and that may tip the scales but I don't like the coupons. If it feels like work, I'm not interested.

I have been a Platinum member for a while. Have also held the gold in the past.

With a new price increase coming, I'm giving the green card a serious look. 3x travel on everything including cruises, hotels, etc. seems like easy one stop shopping... 3x dining is also good.

If we weren't a disney family I would put all my spend on WOH credit card.

Yes it certainly makes sense. You had just mentioned no AF but really it does have a hidden AF but with as much as people utilize costco it is a mute point.

Does Sam's get extra for groceries? I just use mine for Gas and non GC Spend at Sam's unless I'm getting 5% on another card that quarter.

No, but we buy our groceries pretty much exclusively at Sams.

We have the 6% amex grocery cash card, though I don't plan to renew it. It does "pay for itself" particularly after the eSPN+ credit, but it is a bit of a hassle to have to remember one more card with one more billing cycle, etc. especially when the platinum digital entertainment credit keeps getting fewer options.

I haven’t kept up with the card. It used to offer 3% on dining and travel and Sam’s had a travel portal as well. I remember years ago being able to book excursions on it as well.
