Predicting the Sapphire Business Card | Frequent Miler on the Air Ep310 | 6-13-25

The CSR also wouldn’t be a good option for Expedia, car rentals outside the portal, Airbnbs and the rest of the other travel category.

Car rentals specially since you got 3x on car rentals outside the portal plus the awesome primary insurance. So it is a painful change 😢

Debating if I should upgrade my CSP to the CSR before the rebrand.

It's a Sapphire Reserve Business. It's on their official Instagram.

Is it worth getting the Ink Business Preferred card right now or better to wait for the Sapphire business? Essentially will doing one prevent you from doing the other?

Posting for the fun of it, so not serious.. they havent said anything about lounge access. Or priority pass.

Just cancelled Amex business because they’re making their credits less usable. Chase has a very distinct opportunity to swoop in and take AMEX BUSINESS market share if they do it right

You guys are the best! I love listening to your podcasts each week. Keep up the good work. I always learn something interesting each episode.

On the topic of closed mouths don't get fed, i stayed at intercontinental mag mile Chicago with a 40k fnc a few years ago (2 devaluations ago), just happened to mention in passing to the desk that everything was great and not complaining but there was a huge dead bug in the window sill, she promptly asked me if 20k points would make me happy, well hell yeah it did when that was enough for 1 to 1.5 nights at a hix or candlewood at the time. The value i got out of that sub was un friggin believable

IMHO... It doesn't make sense to rebrand the Ink Preferred, rather simply call the new card the Ink Reserve. If they add "Sapphire" to the business cards, that will be confusing.

Thanks for the info + video!

Regarding your hyatt reservation, you booked all 3 rooms using your points. How were you able to put the reservation under your wife’s name? Also, since it was under your wife’s name, I assume the night stay will counted on her hyatt account, correct?

Don’t the Spark cards all report to personal credit bureaus?

If CSR loses 1.5 portal boost, the $300 travel credit, and the 3x all travel, it will be the worst "travel" card in history. I'm looking to see what they "add" to the existing profile in multipliers, statuses, and benefits. Coupons make it a "forced spend" card not more valuable😎 Great Podcast!

1.5 cent per point on portal ? Gone ?
