Chase Saphire , Reserve or Amex plat?

[Apollo Creed]

you dont need to spend $500 at saks to get the credit, you get 2 a year, 1 from january to june for $50 and 1 from July to December for $50. I walked in saks and asked them if i could use it on something at was $80 and they said yes, last week I went on the saks site and ordered a $50 egift card by email and sent it as a christmas gift to someone.

I need to reread the details. Coulda sworn it was spend 500 get 100

How to Get $100 in Saks Fifth Avenue Purchases With Your Amex Platinum

 

[dterpsss]

I get value out of both in separate ways that save me more than the annual fee, for every year i get 300 in travel credit on CSR, my amex I get $200 in travel credit from specific airlines, last week i bought $200 in american airlines gift cards, this week i will buy 200 more thats free flights. I get free urber credit with my amex monthly so this is a benefits, I get $100 saks credit with boths cards so use those.

Amex lounge access give me access to hundreds more lounges. I get special event perks with both cards, my CSR gives me 3x dining credit, amex 5x travel credit but like i said I dont use this for travel because amex still has less hotel options and no 50% bonus booking.

CSR also has much more travel airline partners where you can redeem 1to 1 miles. I got about $6000 worth of travel out of these cards so it offsets the $450 and $550 annual fee on them. the yearly travel credits alone almost surpass them... hope this helps

oh the CSR card is a better cards, it has been the top premium card since it came out..

but as a status symbol Amex Platinum, pull it out and people automatically assume you are doing well because it has been the prestigious cards for decades...so it will get you some a$$ easier once these thots see it lol

Good shyt, another good source of info I found is pointsguy.com , its apparently the bible of points

I have the CSP and Amex Platinum. On the very last day of the year I realized I hadn't used my Saks credit or my $200 flight credit, I purchased 4 $50 gift cards from Delta and a wallet from Saks, and I've been reimbursed for all 5 purchases.

The thing is though it is going to count for 2019 if you did it a week before you could have double dipped because it would have counted for 2018 then you could have done the same this week for 19..

I have the CSR and i paid for some many flights this with points alone. I love when my friends and I get bottle services at clubs, I just put it on my CSR since bottle services is considered food (3 points). Last year I accumulated 61k points from travel , 40k points from dinning, and 35k points from other purchases.

or if you do group trips just book everyone flight and hotel/airbnb and have them pay you back. Easy way to get them reward points.
