SPG has lost much of its luster compared to Chase home runs like Freedom+Sapphire+Ink+United Club, etc.

Still great for warranty/dispute/return protection items, and it is good to have a diversified point portfolio, but it's not the be all end all like it used to be just 2 years ago.  And the C&P downgrades don't help.

Ok. That still doesn't justify her second two choices..does it?

Wasn't really a top 3 so much as a card for consumers, businesses, and students.

I don't agree with her, but like I said it could've been worse.

I actually think Freedom is the best all around card - with the 10 points exclusives.

Next I would put SPG

But Freedom 10x10 is dead.
SPG probably does still beat CSP, but it's close.

At least I got the Freedom in my wallet :)

SP is only more valuable over the freedom cuz of 2x on Dining and travel, and that it lets transfer to partners.

I would reach to a PRG on airline - 3x on Airfare, so you would have to Spend at lest $2500 on food and other travel for it to even be worth they yearly $95 fee. (I know you could get it waived... But just trying to bring out a point)

So all in all, I dont find SP too valuable (And I still have one)

No, but we're talking about telling people what to apply for though.
