I may be doing the CSP+EDP Combo myself soon.

Anyone know if you can have the ED and EDP at the same time?

I would assume shouldn't be an problem , but not 100% sure on that. Waiting for my freedom to post zero util , so i can go ahead and app for EDP with no issues.

Right, don't know if it really generalizes, but you can have an BCP and BCE, but not two BCP or two BCE.

But in the case of the EDP/ED, not sure it makes sense.  To get reasonable value from ED, you would have to put the 20 swipes a month, earning 1.2 MR, whereas if you put them on EDP you would get 1.5.  So yes, you get a bigger grocery cap than EDP alone, but have to see if that is worthwhile.

Well. It wouldn't make any sense for me to close my ED.

And i'd be applying for the EDP for the bonus and then keeping it for the 150% after 30 swipes.

Seems like if used correctly, it could be pretty rewarding. 

Why is this a good combo? I have a CSP and I'm looking to add a 2nd AMEX in January when I can take advantage of backdating.

Oh sorry, wasn't thinking of it from that situation,  Yes, if you have the ED, may as well keep it if you can also get the EDP.

It's not a "combo" in the sense that say Freedom/CSP is, ie cards that work together.   This is just a way of having a small number of cards (2 or 3 including Freedom) to handle all purchases, while still getting valuable rewards in two programs.  The major bonus categories don't overlap

Yeah, I thought the combo would be pretty worthwhile if your spending profile can justify it.

MR and UR can be valuable in this aspect.

I use CSP and BCP

My thinking exactly. So on top of getting some bonus MR's, i can get some extra backdating to beef up my AAoA.
