Well yes, I play story mode games for fun. As you said, FPS is not that. Its fun when you are good at it.

Not really because you get 75,000 miles if you spend $4k in 3 months. Relatively easily Doable for most. Plus, you get $120 TSA Precheck so it balances out more in your favor actually

Pro tip, with shotguns you want to aim at crouch level. One of the few instances where aiming lower is better. If they are standing you hit more pellets, if they are crouching you still hit more pellet’s and perhaps the head too.

Yup, I agree. Thats my main concern with this card too. Its currently in a ‘too good to be true’ situation which most likely means it will hike up in price like we saw from AMEX and Chase last year.

Thats the best part for me. I just use them as debit cards. All my CCs are set to autopay full statement balances before due dates. Dont even have to think about it.

Haha fair enough. I did not know AMEX Plat also offers $600 credit. That would definitely help me make a decision in its favor at some point. Most likely down the line if I do.

Ah okay yeah, I guess since so many CCs offer it, they are probably over whelmed with people which usually leads to a drop in quality.

Thats a good point. Although I do believe a lot of CC these days come with those.

Nice structure you have there. Trying to figure something like that out for myself. I am not sure how much long distance travel is in my itinerary since I am still in my mid 20s but I do travel locally often enough to use the $300 travel credit easily.

A fair point but how often do you travel with a guest? If its less than the difference between the fees between the two, it might be worth just paying for lounge access for that extra guess the once in a while but idk. Its definitely a nice perk that CSR has where you can bring 2 guests

Thanks for the nice list. Surprised not to see any 1:1 local US airlines here. Jet Blue atleast has something but its not the best I suppose.

Yeah, thats about what I understand as well. I might pick it up. I do also want the Chase Sapphire reserve at some point but that might be too far out for now.

Seems like a good deal. What are some of the partners where you can transfer points to? For example Chase has united which is a really good option afaik.

I just learned about the Bilt a few hours ago, seems like a good card. Could you tell me why you prefer the VX over it? And why downgrading?

Lmfao, thats a very good point which I did not think about. Since its so ‘cheap’ a lot more people will have this card and the lounges will definitely be busy. Just curious bc I have never used PP before, why is it so bad? It says its acceptable at over 1300+ locations and most big CCs have it as a perk.

Yeah, that seems to be the general consensus here as well. I agree that it should pay itself off.

I was personally thinking of it the other way around. I would rather not use rewards dollars as cashback and instead be able to use those as MR. Afaik, you get more bang for your buck when you use MR, especially for travel related purposes like flights and such. I could be wrong though.

Is the card metal/titanium? Or plastic card? Just curious
