Don't even dream of opening this for 60,000 points in this environment. Wait until you get matched for a 100,000 sign up bonus with the cardmatch tool. Everyone is matching due to the Corona! Don't leave 40,000 points on the table.

Used to have the Platinum for the service, but either their service level has fallen or Chase Reserve's has improved. In any case, finding it very difficult to continue to hold this versus Chase.

Does anyone have a link to 100,000 offer? I see several offers and they are all much lower.
