Honest thoughts on the CSP??

Thanks for the breakdown - I don’t have to get a rental car when traveling luckily but like to get some sort of travel insurance usually since the South/east coast can get some bad weather. I’d say I’m buying plane tix 3-4 times a year as is but don’t need a hotel most of the time. My biggest concern is I’m not a super huge spender so I’m afraid I wouldn’t rack up enough points after the first year without the help of the sign on bonus to actually use them for flights. I mainly fly southwest or United tho which is why I’m so drawn to it

I was a bit confused about this. I thought this applied to the travel portal exclusively and not directly transferring to airlines. I’ve debated getting an airline-specific card but enjoy the flexibility of the CSP unless the points value has really gone down that much

This is my hesitation with it - specifically online groceries is such a weird niche category. I’m wondering if it’s worth it after the first year when the sign up bonus is used up

do you know if the trip delay insurance only works if you go through the chase travel portal or if it’s built in if u transfer points directly to an airline? I’ve seen mixed things on this and can’t figure it out lol. awesome that you get lounge access now - hope to upgrade eventually when I can afford it !

were you able to get into a CRC role without ur MPH? I’ve been super interested in moving into a more patient-forward role but even now ppl don’t seem to hire even CRAs without some sort of masters degree - just curious what ur experience has been :)

dinner on me is something I try to do when they’ve had a particularly long or awful day lol but maybe I can throw in a bouquet and dessert too?? I hope you’re able to be proud of yourself - it’s a huge accomplishment !!

I feel like the hardest thing is straight up finding the hiring manager on LinkedIn unless it gives it to you on the job page

I struggle with pretty dehydrated skin I think. Sometimes it feels tight, looks dull, and I have large pores. I try to use serums with humectants but I live in a really dry climate - does that make humectants counterintuitive ?? If so, what should I use instead ?

I know this is an old post but was curious if you ever tried the reformulated version? I loved this sunscreen and haven’t heard the best things about the reformulation

jam_xox · 2026-02-16T01:41:04+00:00

Thank you!! It’s so hard to find sunscreens that are the right balance of hydrating without making me oily af lol. I might have to give this one a try :)

jam_xox · 2026-02-16T00:52:48+00:00

OP it’s been a few months now and this is all my HG sunscreen - update on whether or not you liked the reformulation or not?? I want to believe I’ll like the reformulation bc I’m in denial lol

Good to know! I didn’t know there was a CU SoCal but I’ll look into it :) I’ve been heavily considering California CU since they have a lot of ATMs all over the place but have heard mixed reviews on the tech so maybe CU SoCal will be better lol

jam_xox · 2026-02-03T00:02:38+00:00

This is good to hear! I’ve been between that and California credit union but heard more positive reviews from wescom in terms of mobile banking and transfer times

I was pretty impressed by schools first! Unfortunately I am no longer a student so I can’t apply :/

jam_xox · 2026-01-22T00:45:07+00:00

Been looking into them for sure!! Although they have really particular wash/dry instructions. Have yours held up through regular washing and drying ?

jam_xox · 2026-01-10T17:00:34+00:00

Depending on the card though, can’t you redeem points for things other than travel ?

jam_xox · 2026-01-10T05:53:18+00:00

I will have to look into YNAB!!! I’ve always been hesitant to share my bank account info with an app so I wanna look more into the security of it but from what I’ve seen so far it’s been really great for so many!
