I'm on track to finish up my Hyatt MSR in 4-6 weeks, so I'm looking for our next card. It's DH's turn - he's at 2/24 and his last Chase card was opened in April. I was going to have him apply for a Hyatt card but now I'm not sure if that is the best option...with Japan already booked, I don't have any particular need for any points besides possibly redeeming some URs for SW flights and Universal or Disney Springs hotels on solo weekend trips next fall; I'm trying to crank down on our budget, so I can't particularly justify any new AFs or huge MSRs (.e.g a Sapphire MDD for DH) right now; and while I always love URs I'm not feeling like taking a risk on another biz application for DH.
Would the new CFF be the best option at this time? I almost hate to use up a 5/24 slot for a Freedom card but I don't know what else to do at this point. I suppose an Amex BBP is also a viable option since I can at least cash those out for Home Depot gift cards, or possibly transfer the points to Marriott, and then he wouldn't be hitting up Chase again for the third or fourth time in 12 months. Or do you think the new higher CSP bonus is worth missing out on the CSR for 4 more years?
Thoughts? I can get more granular about */24 counts, all our existing cards, etc. but thought I'd ask more generally first.
