Amex may have started counting a charge card to take up a credit card slot, making it even more difficult to navigate Amex application strategies. Chase adds dining benefit to the Sapphire Reserve and Sapphire Preferred. A new bigger and better bonus on the Blue Cash Preferred, and a nice upgrade offer for the Amex Gold card.

Took me 18 seconds from upload to get to the video lol
Bonus on Bonus on bonus!!!!!!!!!!
Totally agree on the Chase Dining/Tock offer. It is… underwhelming.
I spoke with Amex cs yesterday and she said they are not counting the green card as a credit card slot. But she also said there wasn’t a limit on how many cc one can have.
I wonder if the Green Card counting as one of the 4 credit card slots means that they might do the same with the Gold and Platinum (which you said right as I typed that). The green card really doesn't interest me, so changing that is fine, but it may be an issue if I get it just to get the sign up bonus later. I agree with you about Chase too. This benefit is useless for me. But since most of my spending is currently on Amex cards, I guess I'm glad that Amex is the one with all the good offers.
Chase offer is limited to zero in my area. I already have Amex Gold and Amex Green. I've got an offer to upgrade my Green to Gold for 20k MR after 1k spend in 90 days. I'm not gonna do it.
green card been real quiet ! lol. i don’t agree with them counting it as a credit card though.
Are you trying to save on your electricity? The lighting in the video is very dark.
Waller, are people in Maine narcissistic?
I've seen them wearing shirts that say: I ❤️ ME
1️⃣ very good reason to hold the otherwise meh Green Card. No one talks about it:
3️⃣❎ on Hotels.
I have the amex plat and I upgraded to the CSR, chase does suck with no offers
Wow what a crappy benefit from chase! Amex all the way!
The BCP bonus is enticing. It would be a good card for an early game cash back setup and even for the long term.
The Chase offer, on the other hand, sounds worthless. As you’ve said before, Chase UR is a “glorified cash back” system. It’s great if cash back or Hyatt redemptions are your long term goals.
Regarding Tock, I just looked for how many restaurants are available in Las Vegas. There are only 3 restaurants. Three! And one of the 3 is on Mount Charleston, about a 2 hour drive from where I live. What a useless promotion!
I'm just not getting excited about Chase offering a dining benefit with lots of restrictions and inflated prices.
Definitely missing the old 5-Card Limit from Amex 😕
I 100% agree with you, I actually recently downgraded my CSR because I just feel like chase’s whole program is like the little brother of AMEX. Their customer service is not even close and their offers are very lackluster. And I transferred all of my Chase points actually over to my world of Hyatt account. So basically all of my annual fee cards are American Express For a good reason
Chase has been very consistent at underwhelming lately.
Amex is drunk!
Dustin, you’re the best – constantly putting out more content. Many of others put out fluff, yours is good insight at a high level. Given the 10+ cards I have, your comments are often helpful. Thank you for all your efforts!
You’ve already covered the AmEx dining credit when it first came out, but now would be a good time to compare it against the Chase dining offer for a black-and-white comparison why the Chase offer truly is underwhelming – just a thought to prove your point.
Chase is turning into some trash. Hyatt is the only thing carrying them.
Chase: the anti-porn of credit card reward opportunities.
U’ll be happy, D. I’m now part of The Amex Club 🙂
Chase is Very disappointing
The dining benefit is weak compared to AMEX. Thanks for sharing max rewards, I'll have to check it out!
If you don’t got AMEX GOLD or PLATINUM you missing out life ✊🏾
🙌🏾
Closest restaurant for me is 50 miles, what a joke!
Well, Chase made it incredibly obvious how they’re fronting the costs for Chase Dining. To be fair though, that’s probably not the most expensive clam chowder in Boston.
A new chi-ace dining benefit?
I don't waist my time with Chase. I'm Amex all day
Garbage offer from Chase. I agree with you Dustin. If they don't do anything about it soon, RIP CSR soon. I mean x3 on dinning still???? Garbage.
I’m sitting on 2/24 right now. Starting to think maybe I should just skip out on the Chase Sapphire cards. Amex isn’t worth it for me either with the useless Uber credits, Saks, etc. credits.
Great video as always! I got approved for the Green Card this week making it my 5th Amex card in 11 months. None of my other cards are charge cards.
Solid video your good you don't talk to fast thanks for showing us when chase and amex is slipping
Waller's Wallet can you downgrade from a citi prestige to citi premier then in 24 months apply for another premier and get the bonus?
Amex was always poised to win the credit card wars, simply from higher margin alone.
Just got the green card. It's shows I can charge up to 1,000 on it and pay over time. So. Kinda changing it to credit card
Are you back to referrals now? What changed?
10x on $500 in embarrassing. Downgrading as soon as I get my travel credit LOL.
Interested if you could do something about, or reach out to amex, the length of time it is taking amex platinum members to get their credits? I am still waiting on PayPal credit from order placed 2/1 and Home Depot credit from order placed two weeks ago. Seems to be the case for a lot of card holders
Hi
My wife’s offer is 75,000 points for gold. I’ll do hers as soon as I hit my $ 2000 spend for my upgrade from Green to Gold.
All of these offers are pretty good. Except Chase. Keep up the hard work man. Take care and keep the family safe!
Dustin,
I wanted you to know that Discover is starting to crack down on fraudulent accounts opened by CPNs. This is for new and existing customers. I am not sure if other banks are going to follow but I know you don't use one but there are people out there trying to use them so it is a permanent close and not sure if it's a ban from any cards for the future.
Chase doesn’t have to do anything most people are so convinced that the Chase rewards program works best for them that they stay with it.
is 75k for gold amex good?
that's why I am sticking to AMEX Platinum over the Sapphire Reserve
