I think it was always 5x just not 10 the credit for monthly on the CSR is new though.

Actually they had a credit on the CSR years ago for us in 2020 or 2021 and even gave some to CSP as well but that was pandemic timeframe when I was also able to do PYB for 1.5 at grocery stores.

Have you ever tried booking a SW flight like you can with the AMEX Platinum to get the airline to trigger?

I have not... looking at info from DOC, looks like it is hit or miss on that.

So the CSP will continue at 1.25 for 2 years?

Have you checked flyertalk? They tend to have more dps.

No. I will do that. Thanks.

I’m in CSR camp but from what I understand CSP will be 1.25x for about two years unless sometimes in October the point boost would kick in for you giving 1.5 to 1.75x
CSR would be the same for existing card holders with the boost going up to 2x but you would not get less than the 1.25 or 1.5 during that transition period.

So for years I've been using the CSR on all of my rental cars as it one earns 3x currently and provides primary rental car insurance. With the changes to the CSR that will now drop to 1x. I have a Venture X which has primary coverage although not as much as Chase's from what I understand but I would be earning 2x with that card.

I will not be keeping the CSR with the new fee so should I just switch rental charges to the VentureX or is there a better card out there now for rental cars besides these 2?

CSP also provides primary. The limits are less than CSR ($60,000 compared to $75,000), and earnings are 2x for car rentals. It's what we use for every rental.

Is the CSP not dropping travel to 1x along with the lines with CSR? I can't imagine the CSP would earn more than the CSR on travel but I could be wrong.

i bet it is same date it makes sense. Its just not announced yet.

Maybe I missed the dialog on it, but I haven't seen any CSP changes mentioned yet...

I just think it's not announced, I bet it's coming with a similar time line for point transfers and conversions etc, I cant imagine chase having a ~800$ card earn 1x while the card that will probably be 150-200 earning 2x it doesn't make sense.

Yeah, I'm sure changes are coming. You'd just think if it was similar timeline, there would be some chatter about it or some leak on the info, at the very least. Makes me think maybe the change will follow slightly after CSR changes.

Amex would disagree with that. The green is more of a travel card than the plat. Seen several people say the green may be the move with all the changes coming.

It's fun to speculate we'll see.
What if the Amex does 5x on all travel and does 8x from their portal to combat chase too?

Maybe we’re boycotting the credit card benefits changes…

Has anyone that has stayed at the hilton at Tokyo Disney tried buying stuff in the shop and charged it to your room? I don't mean the lawsons/family mart, I forget which it is, but the one that has the Disney stuff in it?

I realized last night that I should have asked, since that's a resort and used very little of my credit. We'll only need 2 nights there, so I should have the full credit to use.

ETA found on flyertalk from earlier this month, no you can't. Understandable but a bummer. I'll just get some expensive cake at the little bakery

Also read a review on someone's blog that says there's two lawsons at the hilton which I don't think is correct, anyone else mentions just the one.

Haven't bought gift cards almost the whole month of June. Was hoping for a Visa promo for this week so skipped the MC's.

Hopefully we will have it for next Sunday.
