The background music takes away from your delivery & content you’re trying to convey . You have good soothing voice & clear though. Never saw you in the credit card game here on RUclips
Thanks for watching callmeneno. I understand what you are saying about the music. I will work on that. Glad you came across me. I started in March on RUclips, but have been in points and miles for a bit longer. Thanks again for watching.
I had the Reserve twice, 48 months each time. The 3rd time I got the Preferred, because I use the Ritz-Carlton for Sapphire Lounge access (PHX, BOS, LGA, etc.).
Citi Strata gives you no FTF, 3X in dining, 3X at groceries. CSR is good to get you to your international destination with the best insurance plus 3x on transit
Reserve is tempting but I hate cards that I can't easily or very closely get to totally offsetting the annual fee. My Platinum card has highest annual fee but I can relatively easily get $1000 a year in value from it. The Preferred is $45 after the credit which is practically nothing so I don't mind that. All my other annual fee cards I can get to zero or outsized value. Reserve you have to get creative in justifying to yourself with not as clear benefit (ie making points go further by booking travel through their portal which I would rarely due because of other airline or hotel cards).
Thanks for watching 412foto. I completely know where you are coming from. I definitely get outsized value out of my platinum. I am perfectly fine with the "coupon book" because there are many coupons I can use. That Reserve is such a straightforward card, you do not have that option to really get outsized value. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
You are right about the Chase lounge being a factor I go through Vegas at least once a year, but do not know if that is enough because I am content with the Centurion. Decisions...Decisions. Thanks again.
@@TravelingonEverydaySpend-yr9nq And I am finding more and more that lounges are great but only when you can actually use them. My home airport only has a crappy Priority lounge so I never use it. Many times in other airports I either have short layovers or the lounge is too far from my gate to utilize. Usually my best odds of using one are either Atlanta's Centurion or a Delta lounge when flying Delta (which is not always the case as I fly Southwest just as much)

We're testing out the CSR this year to see if its a good fit for us. Thanks for the info + video!
Thanks for watching jimmyjames. I hope the CSR at least works out for year one. Appreciate you sharing.

@@TravelingonEverydaySpend-yr9nqdefinitely will be looking more of your content

Thanks for watching. I am glad you have been able to work the Sapphire card the best way for you. The Ritz Carlton card is a nice touch.
And another Chase lounge just opened at San Diego Airport. 10K square feet and looks comfortable.
@@TravelingonEverydaySpend-yr9nq what can downgrade ritz card to tho?
My go to card was the CSP until I got the Citi Strata, then I product changed the CSP to CSR for the travel protections.
Thank you for watching Mr. Cocol. Sounds like a great move. Thanks for sharing.
Huh? Doesn’t make any sense 😂

Good info on both cards Family! 🫡

Wish my home airport or one I have to transfer through regularly had a Chase lounge. If so, the Reserve would be much easier to justify
