Card Rec, CSP or AMEX Gold

in steem •  7 months ago 

I'm torn between keeping open the Amex Gold, which is my first credit card, or closing it and going with the CSP. The annual fee of $250, and probably increasing, does make me rethink it. Along with the CFU/ CSP duo I think it could work pretty well and I could keep with the hybrid cash back and some points. I plan on closing the VX in December because of many many issues with capital one in general along with not traveling enough. I am open to other recommendations as well. I do have way more general everyday spend than what is listed below.
