There are some pros and cons to ranking up. Personally, I keep 1 account in bronze and my other in silver even though both could end the season in Gold... you'll understand why by the end of this post.

Pros to renting power to rank up
🔥 If you are bronze and considering ranking up to Silver, one of the biggest reasons to do it is the quality of your reward chests. In bronze, you will get Credits in your daily and season end reward chests. In Silver and above, you'll get DEC instead. Currently, DEC is much much more valuable than credits.
🔥 As you rank up higher, the amount of reward chests you get goes up... but the question is: "How much should I pay for each chest?"
Moving from bronze to Silver III gets you an extra daily loot chest and as you move up in silver, you get more daily chests.
On the other hand, it costs 10,000 additional power to move from bronze I to Silver III but 35,000 additional power to move from Silver III to Silver II.
Use this loot chest calc to see how much each chest is worth https://www.splintercards.com/tool-lootchest.html
Currently, a loot chest is worth an estimated 44 DEC. That means that if I can rent 10,000 power for 25 DEC, it's totally worth it to rent from Bronze to Silver III but not worth it to rent 35,000 power to get to Silver II.
🔥 More end of season loot chest.
🔥 More DEC per win. This is regularly changing but their aim is to make it more profitable to be higher rank and own more cards.
Cons to renting power to rank up
🔥 As the season gets closer to ending, the cost to rent power goes up.
🔥 As you rank up, your cost for entering tournaments goes up.
Why do I have 1 silver account and 1 bronze?
Silver III has much better rewards but Bronze lets you enter the novice tournaments for only 2.5 SPS while Silver requires 25 SPSl
