Hi, the Capital One duo is looking like a much better deal than with the Chase trifecta, especially if you’re a CSR holder. With Chase reducing their benefits and trimming their bonus categories every year, I don’t see a point in keeping the Chase trifecta as your main source of points anymore. The Capital One duo + Bilt (if you rent), at least on paper, look amazing for travel points.
Wanted to know your opinion. Cheers!
Indeed. We currently have a somewhat bad market for travel credit cards at the moment: CSR is too expensive for most people, same with the AMex line. Venture X and Chase have portal-only bonuses, which is useless if you transfer out to travel partners. I guess the CSP is simply the economical option right now, but it’s not very good either (I hate that so many categories are missing)
Agreed. As someone who only travels a handful a times of year, I’ve been using the BILT card as my travel card since it has pretty good travel protections and transfer partners for $0 AF. And I recently picked up the Hilton Honors Surpass for the SUB & 10 free Priority Pass visits per year. I think that combo works well for my current travel needs.
