CSP Attention

[CreditScholar]

I'll agree the CSP gets a fair bit of attention, but I think my JPM Ritz Carlton card gets more. The new EMV version is substantially heavier than even the CSP, plus it's shiny, black and says Ritz Carlton on it.

A colleague of mine has the JPM Ritz Carlton card and it is a very sexy looking card indeed!

The JPM gets quite a bit of attention, but to be honest my Eurasian Diamond Card get much more. It has an EMV version, but unlike the JPM it is elaborated with a pure gold pattern and 0.02 carat genuine diamond. 

P.S. I dont really have a Eurasian Diamond Card

Hahaha that's funny! Lol

I've got compliments when I use it too. I just wish it was a little heavier though because I guess since I've held it and got used to it, now when I feel it myself, it just feels regular sometimes.lol.

About the Ritz Carlton....what's so great about that card? I haven't really done much research about it just yet, but I keep hearing about that card. Is it just another card for hotels, etc??

Hadn't heard of the Ritz Carlton either.

Yeah, I'm not going to start giving credit advice in drive thrus. That's a bit much.

I was too questioned about my CSP at a drive through. The guy commented on how heavy it was and asked why the preferred version was different than the regular version. I can relate as I once took a payment at work with a centurion card and I remember being amazed by it and I had a whole conversation with the guy. I had never heard of it before. I have yet to see another of those. And I saw my first CSP out in the wild a few days ago and it was a MC version too.

It's a benefits-heavy card offered through JP Morgan. Essentially the benefits are:

- Ritz Carlton Gold Status (and Marriott Gold) after 10k in annual spend

- $100 hotel credit for paid stays of 2 nights or more at the Ritz Carlton

- 3 upgrades per year to the Ritz Carlton Club Level (on paid stays, valid for up to 7 nights each)

- Lounge Club Membership (unlimited uses annually for you plus one)

- $200 Airline Incidentals credit (like the Amex platinum but it's not locked into only one airline)

- 5x RCR/MR points per dollar at the Ritz/Marriott, 2x on airfare, dining and car rentals, 1x on everything else

- No forex

- Chip and Signature

- $395 AF

Pfft, a 0.02 ct white diamond? That's it? That's really not worth that much.

I actually JUST looked it up before logging back into this site. Its really pricey to stay there! Its really nice though. One of these days, maybe I'll go for one night to see how it is. Not sure if i'd be willing to pay that AF just yet....MAYBE...but maybe not...lol. I don't stay in hotels all that much. Although, I LOVE hotels, I don't stay in them all that much.

They are nice, but as a general rule Ritz rooms run $300-600 per night. People who stay there pay a premium for their level of service, in addition to the normal luxury hotel amenities.
