Back in June, Chase introduced the new Chase Sapphire Reserve® card with a higher annual fee. Our initial reactions were mixed and a little disappointed because the card was no longer a no-brainer, broadly applicable card in our view. Now that we've had some time, has our opinion changed?(01:53) - High-level view of the card updates(04:15) - Initially, Greg felt like this card would work for him, but not for the casual cardholder.

When you're at the gas station filling up, which credit card should you be using for that purchase? We used to value Wyndham points around 1 cent each, which made the Wyndham Rewards Earner Business Card, which earned 8 points per dollar at gas stations, a clear winner. But recent data has bumped that value down to about .7 cents, making it less of an obvious choice. So, which card should you consider for buying gas instead?(01:19) - Citi Custom Cash® Card 5x (7.5%), up to $500 per billing
