What's your FICO and profile? I'd say go for it.

low 700s on all three i am not worried about getting approved but not sure if the 175 af is worth it are there any advantages of getting this card vs the csp i already have!

If you travel or are going to sell the points to get more than $500 out of it, I would do it. If you don't travel and plan on redeeming the points another way, it's a waste of time. It earns three points on travel and Chase Sapphire Preffered earns two points, but Chase can be converted to cash on a 1:1 ratio. However, if you plan on trasnferring the American Express points to an airline, it may be better to get it.

There used to be a place where you could click "view your special offers", but that seems to be gone now. Anyone know if this is still accessible?

It is...you can view your special offers by clearing your amex cookies if you're a current account holder (or using what's called a private browsing session on most web browsers) and visiting

I found it in a web search one day after hearing everyone talk about it in the past...there doesn't appear to be any links to it anymore, so for what it's worth, YMMV as to if there are any offers listed.
