I have no idea with that
Chase Sappire Reserve is best if you go to airports with restaurant credit (Atl B gates, SFO, DEN)
I am done with Amex with exception to my bonvoy cards to keep status with Marriott. The whole no more non rev in the skyclub thing and no non rev tickets in centurion has made the Amex cards outside of Marriott just about useless to me. If they ever change the embargo or want to offer skyclub membership to employees for a fee it will be re-evaluated then. Amex also doesn’t do priority pass restaurants. So I have a hard time justifying the fee.
Visa is surpassing Amex in most parts of the world anyways. Many places in Europe and Latin America are dropping Amex as of recently and going to Visa
