[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love the Sapphire Reserve. Find both cards useful. I don’t even plan anything for the $300 CSR credit- they are so liberal about what counts as travel, it takes care of itself.

I’m always torn between using Amex Gold -4x points, and CSR, 3x points, on restaurants and just end up alternating. Anyone know how an Amex point and a Chase point compare value-wise? Are they essential 1:1?[/quote]

They are pretty similar in overall value- lot of the same transfer partners like BA, Air France, Aeroplan ,etc. If you can get use for Hyatt reservations that's a really popular transfer option for Chase points that Amex can't match. I also think in the DC area, Chase having United and Southwest as partners both with big hubs in the region, adds a bit more value than Amex. So overall Chase points are worth a bit more, but not some massive difference, and it depends on your usage pattern. If you have family in Canada and end up transferring to Aeroplan a lot, then they would be equivalent since they are both partners.[/quote]
