UGH I am torn. My renewal isn't until 2026. I will probably keep the "new" version for a year and reevaluate. I have a bunch of URs I would still like to cash out via Pay Yourself Back so I need some time to do that.
The
travel insurance, especially for rental cars is still unmatched. I will enjoy the Apple TV credit, but I wouldn't normally just pay for that monthly so IDK that it's "saving" me money vs helping justify the annual fee. I don't like losing 3x on ALL travel, 2 night minimum stays for the hotel credit, or select dining establishments for the dining credit.
I am sure we'll learn more ways to maximize the credits as people use it. I always liked how easy it was the cover the cost of the CSR based on what I got. It's getting harder to justify. I also need to see what Amex does to the Platinum card to see if it's actually better or not (PLEASE get rid of Saks

).
I also think the new CSR "bonus" is laughable considering it's the same number of URs the CSP had a few months ago.
What do you think about the new card?
