I am finally cancelling the Sapphire Reserve, after 5 years of being a card member. Too many of the perks double up with the Amex Platinum and the point earning on the Amex Gold is better too. Maybe I’ll apply for the Sapphire Preferred ans get the 100k bonus though…

Which Chase card do you have to keep your Ulitmate rewards points?
I find that the Ink Preferred, Ink Cash, Freedom, Freedom Unlimited, Flex, Hyatt, United Business and United Quest (Downgrade too Gateway next year) as my Chase Setup. I have Capital One, Citi, Amex, BoA and Discover setups too.
I am close to cancelling all my chase cards. Already down from 4 to 3. None of their cards are as good as Amex for points/miles. I have Visa & MC with other banks that are much better. For cash back, you can't beat unlimited 2% from pen fed.
Ben, but you forgot about a very, very broad 3x points travel category on CSR. No other personal card comes close to this. Not even Amex Green, which btw would require you to pay additional $150.
At least for those who have sizable travel expenses every month, the points collected on this category can stack up nicely.
Put me on to such much game. 👊🏼♥️
Awh man i already got max rewards last month after watching your channel. Oh darn
Is the Ink Preferred a metal card?
Always love watching your videos!!
I downgraded my card to a cash freedom unlimited. I don't even think I'll get the chase sapphire preferred. I got the jet blue plus card instead since I fly with them a lot
How many Chase freedom can you have? You mention you have 3, is that the max?
bruhh i just got this card fuck 🥲🥲🥲🥲
Ya i was surprised by lack of competitive revamp to the CSR.
Im fine with the CSP & citi Premier to cover all my travel needs. Less than $200 AF or effective $40 AF if i use the credits.
I think door dash has a pickup option to use that credit.
Look at the US bank Altitude reserve as a great replacement. Get in to their banking system with the altitude go or the cash +.
$75 effective annual fee.
I haven't watched the video yet but I'm gonna say all banks are ripping off the American people and banks are used to keep people under control. it's up to you to use them til you don't need them anymore. that might take 5 years or 50, but if you don't need them stay clear for them
Your reasons are very true. Which is why I also canceled the CSR.
Yay another competition I can’t enter because I don’t use Instagram.
Say it ain’t so !! I started watching you a few years back and I have heard you say “ Chase Saphire Reserve “ so many times I say it with an English accent now !! Lol
I’m new to this game, but I appreciate your advice.
👍🏾
CSR was an excellent card in its debut. In 2021 it is just "good". Still usable but not worth the fee anymore especially if you're in AMEX's ecosystem.
I cancelled that card long ago. Useless in a pandemic.
I got offered $150 credit on AF. Not sure what I’m going to do next year
You should remake airline credit card again lots have changed
I'm cancelling too – but only after my Travel Credit resets in DEC – my AF hits JAN – make sure to CHECK!
Just get the preferred and it’s cheaper
Now watching now, I am also considering downgrading my chase sapphire reserve credit card.
If I downgrade my reserve to another chase freedom card, is there a waiting period before i can apply for the preferred for the 100k signup bonus?
Correction.. National car rental status is given by the CSR being an INFINITE VISA card. It's not a benefit that it's coming from CHASE
I haven't watched the video yet, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you're cancelling because the perks you get from the card are no longer worth the high annual fee.
I cancelled this card last year. Hyatt is a unique and awesome partner (United is unique too but have devalued) but the other options aren’t anything special. It seems the goal of the ecosystem is to redeem through the portal. Essentially Ultimate Rewards is a glorified cash back program which isn’t what I’m looking for. I’m hoping they do a revamp.
What is going on, Citi Prestige and Chase Sapphire Reserve and other luxury cards aren’t going very well
The National status matching was interesting, just signed up for the match! YOU SHOULD DO A VIDEO ON ALL THE STATUS MATCHES OUT THERE! Would be super helpful to know.
💯💯👍🏼👍🏼
I downgraded to the plain Chase Sapphire. I currently have NO cards that have an annual fee.
AMEX Platinum card offers Executive status with National. In addition, they offer AVIS and Hertz higher statuses too.
Okay so I watched the Graham Stephan Iced Coffee hour. Ive bumped into your content before in the past forgot how awesome it is and now subscribed because of how much I enjoyed your humble approach.
A+ 100% goodness. I think I was 20 when I first say your stuff on Credit cards and got a secured card. Now days were pushing 804 cs.
Crazy full circle. Next step win that delicious iPhone 13 so I can give it away on my channel and mention your channel lol. Infinite monetary loop.
Wait for it Iced coffee hour effect!
Cheers cheers,
Right now the CSP is the better of the two by far..the new points structure plus the AF etcetera makes it superior right now
How are you AU on the same card that you have?
You mentioned you were waiting a month to sign up for the preferred. I was thinking about doing the same thing. Do you know if there's a specific time you should wait from closing your reserve and signing up for the preferred?
Great video! I also cancelled mine 2 months ago for similar reason, but who said the pandemic is over?
You should throw down that card on some adult clothes.
Oops now I have two
Who cares
Cancelling mine this year. Amex customer service cannot be beat. Worst experience of 3 years with chase.
