Wow The Chase Sapphire Reserve Is Really Good

[@MattClausen]

Parking does count as 3x

[@jakemercure]

Thank you Matt. You get the pin of knowledge 🤝

[@MattClausen]

@@jakemercure haha. Thanks man!

[@fuge511]

I get 2x back on parking garages on my CSP doe? it counts as travel lol

[@ninjanick84]

Bro you missed the best lyft feature. CSR plus Bilt equals 12% back!!!

[@JakeVanderPloeg]

Holy. How did I not know this?

[@ninjanick84]

@nderPloeg No one talks about it. but it is real, link your bilt app with lyft and your CSR. That is 12% back in points which can be used with hyatt, marriot, ect

[@manny5848]

I thought it was 10%

[@ninjanick84]

@@manny5848 not when you link the lyft to bilt. Csr give you 10 and bilt gives you the extra 2

[@SniperinShadow]

CSR gang here. Throwing up that Black and Blue flag. I have been living the high life off of the CSR. Their travel insurance is insanely good. Purchase protection as well is top notch. I hope that they continue to roll out the Sapphire lounges across the United States. Chicago O'Hare needs a lounge badly.

[@jakemercure]

CSR gang gang. Top notch protections on a top notch card. Also O'hare needs something man, its bad out there haha.

[@rmknicks]

I couldn't be happier that I upgraded to the CSR, it's a fantastic card. Thanks for talking' at us again.

[@jakemercure]

Such a good card. Always welcome to listen in here, I'm so thankful people watch!

[@JLGMoney]

Definetly am considing the CSR a little later down the road, especially if they bring a sapphire lounge to Philly!

[@jakemercure]

I hope they expand their network a ton. That would be awesome

[@exclusivelymatt]

Glad you touched on the Bike perk through Lyft. The CSR is a fantastic card, as long as you live in a proper city with public transit and City bikes. If they could ramp up their Sapphire lounges it will be well positioned compared to the VX and Platinum.

[@jakemercure]

Its truely an awesome feature! I love the public transit//bike lifestyle and the CSR fits that so well. Hope the Sapphire lounges are nationwide, that would be amazing.

[@CallMeLani]

CSR is one of my favorite cards!

[@SimpleFinanceBytes]

I was thinking of going after a Chase trifecta last year but decided I didn't want anymore cards with annual fees. I'm barely breaking even on my platinum amex but won't close it and lose 15 years of history with that account.

[@Rowdyyy_rod]

R u cancelling when the Lyft feature goes away?

[@MrHawaiiboy510]

I can’t get CSR for four years since I just got the sign up bonus for the CSP

[@SuubUWU]

Got my CSP last year, just upgraded to the CSR today. Pretty sure the timer for the SUB is per bonus earned. I was going to product change it down again in 3 years if there’s another elevated bonus

[@ranktank45]

Be cautious of the USBAR’s real time rewards. It’s great for domestic travel but a lot of people have had trouble getting international travel items covered like tours, non-chain hotels and non US based airline tickets.

[@jakemercure]

Hmmm yeah thats good to know. I guess its still great to redeem outside the portal for other things

[@jla3rd]

If you live in NYC, the chase sapphire lounges in LGA and JFK are amazing!

[@jakemercure]

They are pretty good!

[@lashadow8]

What kind of wallet & where did u buy it? I like the color!

[@jakemercure]

Il Bisante. Its untreated vegetable tanned bison leather. Its super awesome!

[@JacobsPointsAndProfit]

I love FXAIX! It's my favorite index fund lol. I want the CSR, but it's a little too expensive for me since I don't use Lyft or those bikes you use

[@jakemercure]

I understand that, CSP is pretty good too!

[@SHFMIA]

I sumped my CSR for the platinum and gold.

[@mexicogcp]

Do you need to have a 10k credit limit before upgrading to the CSR from the CSP?

[@nick3768]

Yes, most people recommend requesting a CLI to get to 10k

[@heighyew]

Yes. CSR is a Visa Infinite card, which has a minimum limit of 10k.

[@bryanc3236]

You’re super cas, got my subscribe. Keep it up brotha!

[@jsqt]

Another great video, Jake! btw what's that wallet you're using?👀

[@jakemercure]

Thank you! Its from a company called Il Bisante, its bison leather in the natural color!

[@MrHawaiiboy510]

Do a CSR vs the Platinum video

[@justsmy5677]

Sorry dude, you're rambling, make a script. The primary value of the CSR for most folks is the PP Lounge access and the ability to transfer your UR points to multiple places like Hyatt and airline points. You need one card that gets you PP lounge access then build around that card. It can be on any team (Chase, Amex, etc) based on features you feel are important. Chase makes recouping your annual fee a little easier and less paperwork/documentation. The $300 travel credit is a no brainer. The conversion to Hyatt points a great value. And I will eat/drink more than $250 worth in the lounges throughout the year.

[@fuge511]

Talk about the portal prices plz… how often do you find csr portal prices inflated!!!!??? The 1.5 cpp isn’t exactly 1.5 if portal prices are inflated 😭😭😫😫😫

[@jakemercure]

Not as much as people say in my experience. I book lots of coast to coast US flights in economy and they are almost always the same as google flights

[@fuge511]

@@jakemercure ok thank you!!! So if I want to upgrade my CSP to csr just for 1.5cpp economy redemptions I might ok then!!!

[@SuubUWU]

@@fuge511 It’s also great when you’re booking boutique hotels internationally and trying to really get “immersed”. It makes a 1.5 cpp where it otherwise wouldn’t exist with anyone else.

[@TheZombaslaya]

FXAIX vs VOO vs Schwab's fund, which is best?

[@jakemercure]

FXIAX and Schwab better than VOO bc expense ratio

[@AP_808]

@@jakemercuredon’t forget to sprinkle some QQQM.

[@ralphaguayo]

What was the$200 you took off the annual fee? I know of $300 credit travel

[@jakemercure]

Lyft credit. I value it at face value of $200 since I would have paid that out of pocket.

[@ralphaguayo]

Thanks for the info

[@DavidGarciajrtx]

Been saying the csr is the best for years. Finally everyone understands what I’ve been saying 🙄

[@jakemercure]

Such a fire card, you know it

[@sidneysfamily8760]

I like the DoorDash benefit :-)

[@JakeVanderPloeg]

I was buying Divvy annual pass anyway, $300 credit is incredible and I’m not getting any value from the $50 hotel credit. I’m the prime customer for an updgrade

[@wilfredpapaya4739]

Not so much now lol

true

[@AccountantsAnonomous]

I’m here for the Maldives trips

[@jakemercure]

The water is really blue there

[@Xavier_ID.]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@fogrunr5075]

Because CSR + CFrU = 2.25X on everything.
