Yes. I did it with the Amex Plat and Plat Biz cards. We each had both of them, ran the numbers to see where things stood and then he cancelled one flavor and I cancelled the other. If the CSR would have increased dining to 4x or greater, we'd still keep both and we'd cancel the Amex Rose Golds.

Does anyone have the US Bank Altitude reserve? I have never paid a fee that high, but it looks like I could get $325 travel credit (could use for car rental in Oahu) and $817 worth of rewards dollars after the MSR (that I could use for a couple of nights before we stay at Aulani) for that $400 fee? I haven't dealt with a US Bank card in a gazillion years, but I have been a US Bank checking customer for 5.5 years now.
I am looking for something to go with my CIP I will be applying for, I have a big chunk of spend coming up now, and in the next few months.

I take it that is a no LOL?

I've been weighing the pros and cons of CSR before this news came out. I like to book car rentals through the portal for the insurance coverage, I usually book a few hotels for softball or trips to Houston. I've been thinking about booking hotels on cash (cashing UR to cover) or with the hotel's points and transferring UR as needed. This way I can get away from that "booked via expedia mess" (almost got bonvoyed with no place to stay last year) and earn points on my hotel stays, as well as status perks. I have booked tours with UR and that's worked nicely.

I just don't see us using Doordash or Lyft much. We've only ever Uber'd in Costa Rica (no kids) so to me it's a form of vacation transportation, not to use all the time. Just my personal feelings. My big kids use it all the time. I priced out a trip to the airport and it's almost $100. Airport parking is only $8 so not worth it. It's not worth using to go downtown either, I'm cheap.

I do like my CSR benefits. While we've only used a lounge once, I hope to use them again, we should be a travel party of 4 mostly from now on. I like my National Emerald Exec status. I've only been renting from National/Enterprise as I've never had an issue and I get my second driver free.

I'll get one more year at $450, then reconsider again. We'll use Lyft on this upcoming Disney trip where I've been going back and forth on whether to rent a car or use a service. The 15% does make it the better choice.

I don’t think muppets were popular when I was a kid. I watched teletubbies, blues clues, Arthur, zoboomafoo, bear in the big blue house, Franklin, little bear

I find a lot of healthy options in our area, and many of the places I would normally go anyway are available with one or another delivery service. But the prices are usually a $1-2 marked up from the restaurant's menu prices. BTW, DTF is on Doordash. ;)

I totally stand corrected tonight. Told DH about DD working for DTF and he's all in. Thank you for the suggestion. It's not exactly what I would call a healthy choice but apparently that doesn't matter when it comes to dumplings and soup. :rotfl:
 
Long time, slow churning lurker here. Y’all have the best advice and the best board on the Dis. I try to keep up daily... u guys move quick. Just couldn’t keep quiet anymore once the muppets talk started. 😅 Tell me someone remembers that other Jim Henson show called Fraggle Rock? Loved that show but none of my peers remember it!

Aaaaaand, there you lost me 😂. I’m definitely a bit, ahem, older than you 😬. if I remember correctly, I was all about Looney Toons and Sesame Street 🤪

I didn’t watch Sesame Street or looney tunes. I definitely plan to take our baby to Sesame Street at seaworld though. That area is adorable
