CSR/AMEX Plat. Strategy

CSR/AMEX Plat. Strategy

  1. Anonymous Guest

    Hi –

    I am currently traveling 1x to 2x time a week BOS to MDW, and will likely be doing this routine for the next few years. I fly Southwest exclusively and will continue this since the low cost of airfare (and the companion pass I will earn shortly) outweigh the potential benefits of flying with an airline like United, in my opinion.

    I have a CSR and Southwest Premier, the latter of which I will stop using once I hit Companion Pass. I am wondering if it is worth doing the following:

    – Downgrade CSR to CSP to maintain points accrued there and some earning structure on dining and non-airfare travel
    – Open AMEX Platinum (have seen a few offers for 75k points) and book all airfare through this card over the next several years. I have some doubts about this since I won’t be flying to places that have Centurion lounges very much… or leveraging the Sacks benefit.

    OR

    – Maintain CSR and book all travel through card
    – Open AMEX Gold and take advantage of the dining/grocery multipliers and incidental airline credits.

    Feedback much appreciated!
