So the best three in order are Cap1 QS, Fedelity, CSP?


Best is always subjective.  Don't rely on broad generalizations like that.  Spend (as well as other factors) will have an effect on what one would consider best and ordering.

I pick the CSP. I just looked activities i can purchase with my UR points on my CSP UR account and i was simply amazed! I'm traveling to Puerto Rico next month and i'm gonna using my UR points to purchase activities that i would have spend almost 1k on with 49k UR points.

Thanks! I've had it for about a month now! It's probably the best thing that has happened to me since i can remember (creditwise)! I can't believe i didn't know it existed till a couple of months ago. So many ways to use your points, so many options!

Just remember for 5% categories on freedom card, they can be transferred to your CSP ur points. It won't be an whole lot during the year but its something.

You can get a RT ticket to Europe at the Saver level for 60k points. United doesn't screw you with fuel surcharges like BA and others.
