You might be able to get the SWA credit card and spend on that

I have that already. Unfortunately won't hit before EOY. Also, you need to spend 10k to earn 1500 tier qualifying miles

Look at sw shopping portal

You’re right- my bad. They count toward CP but not status

Pretty sure the only way to get tier qualifying points is to fly.

You could call customer service and ask them for help, I've heard of people getting bumped if they're close.

Call them

What do I tell them exactly

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.

I am on notice period with Tata Consultancy with 2 months remaining with an offer in hand where the joining date is just after notice period ends. Now, I got early release from current company and thus, I saved 2 months. But I want to use these 2 months for travelling, upskilling and looking for better offers instead of contacting the new company for early joining. So, if I join the new company after 2 months will this be considered as a 'gap' in my profile in the future and will it be harmful?
