Chase is really onto something....

electra · ‎05-22-2013

Got both my CSP and AMEX BCP in the mail within days of each other. Was super excited to get both but especially excited about the AMEX. To my surprise...the AMEX really looks cheap and low end compared to the CSP. Kinda disappointed.

OK, maybe the whole metal card thing is a gimmick but the CSP just looks and feels more substantial and definitely has more of a BLING feel. Maybe it's just something in our genes but ....SHINY!!! the CSP!

grats on both approvals!

If you have access to your soft pulls, look at your EX report. You'll see that Chase is REALLY up to something with all those SPs following an approval lol

Congarts to you

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Chip & Pin rocks. I don't know of any Amex that has that feature. Main reason why I want a Chase card right there. Screw what it looks like as long as it's got the best security feature.

FYI -

You can get an AMEX Plat with chip & pin if you call up and request it like I did. Its great for traveling in other countries where they look at Americans funny lol.

Which Chase card are you thinking of with Chip&Pin? CSP doesn't (currently) have any chip, and Chase is mainly Chip&Sig on its chipped cards.

And isn't this chip&sig rather than chip&pin?
