What are people's plans for keeping this card?
Will you cancel before the annual $450 fee this year for those that acquired one last year? Or do you feel the $300 travel reimbursement and other perks are worth keeping it for the long haul?
Why would you want to ?? Chase has a policy getting the bonus points if you haven't recieved one within the last 24 months.
Use it until the year is up. Use the 2 $300 travel reaward. Cancel. Make sure you transfer or use up your points before you cancel. Like I would transfer all my points to my Hyatt account. Or transfer it to your FREE annual fee Freedom card and just let the points sit there.
Wait another 12 months or so and re-apply. Even if you don't get the bonus points, you can still do the 2 $300 again.
Even better, re-rinse with the CSP.
When its time to cancel the CSR, apply for the CSP and transfer the points over.
I mean you're not losing money by keeping the CSR but its an advantage to cancel it and re-rinse.
