I'd appreciate inputs on how to get the best value from these points.
Best value is transfer to travel partners. Look at which ones would benefit you the most. I like british airways for short domestic flights, United for star alliance partners for international flights since the surcharges are fairly low, or hyatt hotels.
Travel sounds good.
I'm planning travel later this year, so I should probably save up these points for then 
Amazon.com also looks like a pretty good deal!

Isnt Amazon just 1c per point? If so, may as well get cash

True.
I thought it was higher than that, just checked. With 1c/point, might as well buy whatever you want and use the cash back!

I hope your not paying the AF for the CSP if that is the case. The card is of very limited value if you don't want to transfer to travel partners and there are a number of excellent cashback cards that would blow it out of the water. Some of them don't even have AFs.
