Here’s to hoping Amex will raise Chase with their own offer once the grocery category bonus ends this month.
Chase seems to be trying to differentiate their product. Good I say. My hope is they would bring back the grocery store 5x which was very beneficial to me the past three months. Now I will take advantage of the 5x on gas and 10x on my streaming services. The Chase Sapphire Reserve is still my main go to card.
Doesnt AMEX Aspire also have a streaming credit ? or Cap one ?
Haven’t heard about Cap1 but aspire doesn’t. Aspire gets 12x points (clawed back) at grocery stores and you can use the $250 Hilton credit towards restaurants for a few months.
I’m hoping they keep at least the gas multiplier around. Even if not at 5x, they can at least do 3x like the Citi Premier has and that card only cost me $95 per year as opposed to the CSR that cost me $550.
Just got my CSP so good timing for msr.
