Is the CSP still worth it?

Yes, that's why I said statement calendar year.

I made it to the cutoff, unfortunately the wife did not and left $80 on the table. It's alright though. She'll get them back on the RC travel credit.

I'll likely never have a CSP bonus again due to 5/24.

I only squeaked by on the CSR due to the leaked link to which 5/24 didn't apply to.

I personally don't think either makes sense for you. If You don't travel then don't get a travel card. I'd get really good cash back cards instead. The perks and spend bonuses that come with the CSR and its $450 AF only make sense if you travel. The 3X travel doesn't matter. The lounge access, hotel perks, travel credit...it will be a waste of credit card spend for you. You can get 3X dining on a no AF card plus 5 or even 6% cash back with cards that you will use for what you already spend on. Just my 2 cents.

I'm still bummed the CSR came out 8 months after I got the CSP.  I want the CSR as I will easily use the 300 every year and the 50% bonus on miles is huge.  Since the card ends up being 150 dollars and all of the lounges it has avaliable, its worth it.  I have been flying almost exclusivly delta lately so I may opt for an AMEX instead but I'll have to run the numbers and see where I save the most money.

Which Amex are you thinking about?  Unless you're going for the MQD waiver or have one of the higher Delta Amex's for the MQM bonus, the CSR out earns them.

I do travel like 1-2x per year now but will probably increase soon. I am hoping to pair the CSR/CSR with a Fresdom or so.

Sorry, I know you do. I just wanted to make it clear to other people that may not know that.

I love the CSP! It is definitely worth it!

I traveled to Puerto Rico, Memphis, and Atlanta in the past two months after getting the CSP- the points add up quickly and is the best travel card.
