What about the Chase Ritz Carlton card? This is the most valuable hotel card in my opinion. Deserves an honorable mention....yes, you have to trade up, but great perks and it is an infinite card in its own way.
@@MyNameJim No way. the 3X on all travel, 3X dining, 10X Hotels/Cars, 5X flights, all standard premium card stuff. On top of the best insurance protections and points redemption program. Adding it has the typical PP lounges, Maple Leaf Lounges, and Sapphire lounges. If you're comparing to the Amex Plat which is a perks/coupon card. Or the VX which is great, but the points aren't as valuable. Saying this as a person with all 3 cards.
yes it does not make sense to rank the CSR lower than the Preferred since it's a similar card but with lounge access and better insurance. The CSR is one of the few cards out there that can be used in a single card setup for those that value simplicity.
Outside of 2-3 co branded cards, Chase cards aren’t very good. WF has passed them and soon Citi. Even US Bank has better (long term/keeper) card setup.
LOL, us bank cards are lack of good sub, and all cards other than the reverse card only earn points 1cpp. Consider the transfer partners, Chase offers give you 1.6-2cpp makes its multipliers better than us bank’s most cards. WF is a rising star, however still lack of transfer partners.
Quest was actually a $125 card at the point he recorded the video, you can easily get $125 statement credit AKA cash! back to your account. And if you fly with ua just a round trip it will become $0. If you don’t fly with ua even once, then why get ua cards? No need to mention you can pay yourself back on annual fee at 1.6cpp and first two bags checked. That’s much much better than explorer. Sadly, ua nerfed it recently. But agree $250 Marriott card is a completely trash. Should at least get 50k fn for free every year.
i love the chase freedom card

Good perks card, just not good for earning as it gets lowly Marriott points
The CSR being B tier is criminal, it's at least an A
For a Luxury travel card, it’s below industry standard.

@@soapa4279u can get same multiples on several less expensive cards. lol
The purple United card sounds like a good complement to the CSR.

Agreed that the $250 United Quest and the $250 Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful cards are worse than their $95 counterparts.
