HT to Reddit...
The hype on this card is full blown red alert, but reading the article I couldn't help but think... what's next? It's clear Chase has crushed it with this card. Meanwhile, the premium cards from other issuers don't look nearly as enticing. Will this force the hand of other issuers to step up their offerings?
For you theme park junkies out there, I remember back to 1989. Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH unveiled the highest, fastest, steepest coaster on the planet. It attracted unprecedented attention for a roller coaster from the media and general public. Many enthusiasts and experts consider it "the first shot fired in the coaster wars," as parks competed with one another building the biggest rides at a rapid rate.
Granted credit cards are a completely different industry, but demand and media coverage for CSR is through the roof. Amex, Citi, etc have to be taking notice. I can't help but wonder if Chase unintentionally fired the first shot in the credit card wars. Maybe some of you in this game longer than me can remember a card gaining more mainstream hype, but I can't think of one.
