. But if after year 1 I see no benefits on CSP then it's out ! I'm almost sure there is others around that missed the bonus and still found good use to justify the AF
You might consider getting a card with good bonuses on gas. Freedom is 5% July-Sep, It is Jan-Mar. Not sure about any other cards that offer it.
I recently made bonus spend. Most of it was through putting my parents purchases on the card. It was very helpful recently, because my parents don't have any no FTF cards with EMV and we were in Europe. Also has some gas purchases and some clothes and gifts. It's really early to buy Christmas presents, but maybe you could buy whatever gift cards you are going to buy for Christmas and birthday presents this year? Gift cards don't expire, so it might be a good way to get you to meet spend, just don't buy too much, it might annoy Chase and put you at risk.

+1 If your going to have a huge increase in gas spend then you would be well served by looking for a card with a fuel bonus category. There are several cards out there like that and if your fuel expenses are really that high then those bonus cards will be much better than the CSP in terms of earning. Amex everyday preferred may be worth a look. Where you fill up can play a role too.

BB, RB have a legitimate purpose.
If someone wants to use it in a not so popular around here purpose that is up to them and is on them solely.
Should we not talk about CCs either because sometimes people use them for fraud or irresponsibly?
While I agree they have legitimate purposes it is quite clear in this thread that OP does not have enough legitimate spend and therefore would not be using them in such ways. When serve was mentioned in this thread it was clearly implied that it was not being used for legitimate spend. If someone was posting about how they could pay bills they had which do not accept credit cards then that would be a different story. In this thread though that does not seem to be the issue and I think that is where IF was coming from but they can obviously speak for themself. That is just how I understood the post.
