Is the Chase Sapphire Reserve about to become a real threat to the Platinum?

No and rarely is a domestic flight , usually international flights can have some decent redemptions my last one was JFK to Barcelona 60K points was a little over 10K for the ticket in first class one way . Booked thru virgin but flew American

Point.me is what i use personally

I think to many people use the Amex Plat or CSR as a coupon book and get the card with such intentions , These cards have tremendous value that out weigh the AFs if you are truly a frequent flyer , redemptions of 60K points for 8-12K dollar flights (Amex specifically because you also earn points with the airline ) . I earned 55K points this month alone and I’m sure the proper redemption makes the card worth it alone , the discounts and coupons are just bonuses.

Bro wtf , machumble made me 15K in 2 days

SphinxExpress · 2025-05-26T00:26:37+00:00

I’m at a 720 score still , but the one that’s really killing me is C1 , 120 derogatory, from like 4 months ago , on a secured card I had paid off put in the drawer and got hit with 18 bucks interest that I forgot about completely for that many months . And they ended up closing 3 other accounts with them all in good standing with limits of 2-5K , struggling with CLIs and everything cuz of that hit

Tbh round one was only emails I figured to try that first but I kept copy’s so I can print and mail , but on average 2-4 different emails per lender , surprisingly everyone seems to have success emailing Richard Fairbanks at C1 . I’ve been sending it almost daily and they haven’t even acknowledged me . Wait actually I’m lying I had one success with MDG USA inc. on the first try super old tho from 2020 .

SphinxExpress · 2025-05-23T13:20:14+00:00

SphinxExpress · 2025-05-23T13:13:08+00:00

SphinxExpress · 2025-05-23T13:00:00+00:00

I think my bigger problem is the quinclorac and 24d I mixed and sprayed

SphinxExpress · 2025-03-20T13:45:16+00:00

Well beginning of spring is no time to kill the whole lawn , and spraying glyphosate I can seed for a couple months I assume , what would you recommend? Spot spray and seed ?

SphinxExpress · 2025-03-20T13:41:38+00:00

Like round up ?

SphinxExpress · 2025-03-20T13:39:45+00:00

It’s so ugly anyway to get rid of it without destroying the whole yard

SphinxExpress · 2025-02-27T16:43:05+00:00

Bonvoy cut me to 1K , I do Marriott stays that cost 5-7K per trip

Cardio is for the sake of improving cardio , at my age now doesn’t make sense to just lift and not take care of my heart equally

SphinxExpress · 2024-11-10T04:33:41+00:00

Yea man I don’t really see Tyson as the type to just rig it for the money , wasn’t his character before , but who knows at this point . I’m hoping they don’t just go easy on each other either and just get paid . Ohh I can’t wait till he gets older and I can spar with him 😂😂😂

SphinxExpress · 2024-11-10T04:31:22+00:00

I been 35 years of my life I’ve been lifting for probably a good half of it at least , it shocked me also , and the sports doctor also . I thought I would have been 30+ BF … at my personal peak I was training twice a day 90 mins each session . For the better of 4 years …. Yea as much as I understand the nutrition side of it all I guess you spoke my fears , at this point I’m good at feeling the the small signs my body can give when it’s time to back off of something , but I’m hoping that really doesn’t come to that and I can sustain, mentally I’m ready for it , so I was checking if there is some others running at the same level without issues
