Just passed the one year mark on my CSP and upgraded to the CSR. Be aware when moving credit limits between cards, it can temporarily drop your credit score because it looks like the card issuer decreased your limit. Especially if the card with the new higher limit takes a while to register on your report.

I got the CSP my last year of college, made the min spend (fronting club expenses / friend dinners and then getting reimbursed) and got that 60k bonus. I'm planning on upgrading to the CSR when I hit the 1 year mark because my PEV is higher for the CSR for year 2+. Thanks Sebby for your CSP vs CSR calculator, and for other insight videos like this! It helps make me feel at ease knowing I'm maximizing money I would have already spent on everyday things :) Keep it up & tell Mandy I said hi.

*GREAT VIDEO!* I just got my CSP and am working on getting my 60K bonus at the moment. I’m new to the CC points game as I’ve mostly been focused building a strong financial foundation (budgeting, saving money, etc.) which is the focus of my channel. At this time, I don’t see a reason to get the CSR because I don’t think I’ll get enough benefit considering the $450 annual fee. Very informative video Sebby! 😎😎👍🏻

You and shifu have taught me a lot tx. I can’t wait to fly business

When the store rejects your Amex card, pull out your CSR 😉. That’s the whole point of having a visa infinite card.

Great timing Seb! I’m due to upgrade my CSP next month. Thanks for the video.

Just called Chase and been told I need to hold Preferred for 4 years in order to quantify for bonus with Receive.

I might have missed it in the video, but I called in to Chase today to upgrade, and one thing you can’t do with the upgrade is take advantage of the sign up bonus on the reserve, you need to apply for a whole new account and downgrade the preferred to a freedom or slate. I didn’t end up upgrading because I did want to take advantage of another sign up bonus but won’t be able to

You got a new subscriber Sir. Thank you. Is it possible to get the CSR if I have the CSP (for 8 yrs now) but still get the bonus 50K on the CSR?

[RonTheGod]

The $300 travel cred pays for the card itself
It can be used for ride sharing apps as well!

[anthonyp]

I currently have a CSR (3 years) . Would I be better off downgrading my CSR to a freedom then apply for a CSP and upgrade it to the CSR or wait another year and just sign up for the CSP to get the bonus.

Great content Sebby! I've been telling all my friends to follow

Question: Are you able to keep/transfer over your existing UR points when you upgrade from CSP to CSR?

[SolidLiquidFox]

Keeping track of credit limits is crucial. I've put cards to sleep like the United to the no AF option. Upgraded Marriott to Ritz. Downgraded CSR to FU.

[lilphatguy]

I think getting CSP now is a good idea at first to hit the minimum and get advantage of first year fee waiver, then before travel upgrade to CSR before this year ends to get 300+300$...
Store whatever points you get for hitting min spend, then product change to CSR, then transfer points to airline partners to get most value?? what you think?

[bowedonut]

I feel like you made this video especially for me, thumbs up man 👍🏼

[clipse]

Im struggling to find my CSP usefully now that i have had the amex gold for about 9 months. I am only keeping the CSP for the UR points and booking my flights with my points that i have and getting the benefits on trip delay and what not.

[chasingadeline]

Yeah I’m not sure 🤔 I would sure why I upgraded to reserve card...But good info about moving moving your credit limits

[Kenshiiiro]

High key, did not know that I could move around my credit limit like that. Thank you!

[haroldful]

Hello. I just got my CSP card. So I'll have to wait a year to apply for the CSR, Understood. My question is, is it best to upgrade the card or apply for the CSR card? Thanks for the information in this video.

[johnibrahim]

Great Video as usual and very informative. I just have a quick question. So if I open the CSP and get the bonus then maybe 18months later i upgrade to CSR, would i get the sign-up bonus for that as well? If not how long do i have to wait till i am qualified to get a sign-up bonus? Thank you
