I use my Cap1 QS there and tell the cashiers that I know Samuel L Jackson.

Personally, it's an ego booster. Or at the very least it gently reminds you that you made it in the credit game.

And the ironic thing is, ANYONE can make it in the credit game, but not everyone can make it in the cash game.  Your scores are based on debt and credit history.  You could wake up Monday morning with 1,000,000,000 dollars in your bank account and your credit score would not change one bit.  At least from that financial change alone.

......using the card in Europe and the only reaction  I get is that merchants do not immediately recognize the network  as the Visa logo is so decent and different ....but other than that no reaction at all and here that card is definitely not seen often.  The Marriott on the contrary gets a whole lot more attention .

If I woke up with 1,000,000,000 dollars in the bank, my first reaction would be "Where the hell have the other 6,321,121,777 dollars gone?"

But yes, I agree.

NO!    One of the best things about the CSP is the sign up bonus, 40K UR.   So, much better to apply for it.   Then you can transfer points earned on the Freedom (the 5x ones for example) to the CSP, and then to travel partners.

Also consider whether you can use the card, which will have an AF after the first year.
