4x points with IHG (equivalent to 1 free night every 4 nights stay) vs Marriott no current promotions. Shld I switch to IHG for a couple of weeks?

Thinking about dropping Amex plat. Don’t see the value of this card at $700 AF.

Is venture x the move? I really liked my CSR, but sign up bonus is only $50K right now.

Primary spend on food, dining etc. Less travel these days since I’ve left consulting, but still looking for a premium credit card…

Options are

1) Keep Amex plat ($550AF with my corp amex)

2) downgrade amex plat to gold ($100AF); get venture x / csr if 100k bonus is back / some other travel card

Anything i’m missing?

My goal since early 2020 was to hit $100k NW by Dec 2021. It’s going to be March 2022 and I’m at $86k 😔 It’s mostly due to healthcare-related bills I didn’t anticipate.
Trying to decide if I should still go through with a 1 week trip to Spain in May that I’ve been wanting to do for years :/

Have you been able to save up lately? I’ve been doing a lot of $500-700+ weekend trips (rent car, airbnb) to remote areas, buy more alcohol and order in more to compensate for “not going out”. I’ve spent all that I’ve saved in the first three months of quarantine :(

What are some easy to make, low stress holiday meals for a school holiday staff party? I was "volunteered" by our principal to set it up this year (🙄). I'm making decorated sugar cookies but kind of drawing a blank when it comes to savory dishes. Bonus points if you have any adult holiday themed games or fun drinks to suggest! It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.

If you redeem your credit card rewards as a check. Will that count towards your taxable income at the end of the year?

My week hangs on Courtland Sutton scoring 21 points in a 1/2 PPR. Is this the week Denver figures it out or is it hopeless?

Woke up to knocks from a hotel employee at 4am last night because “supposedly" someone rang an alarm in the hallway and my room was the closest - normally, I don’t ask for points but this is egregious

Has anyone taken the bus from Rosslyn to IAD airport? Is it reliable?

Maybe a noob points question but if I booked two rooms for four nights and had added my Marriott Bonvoy number for both, do I get 8 nights in total or only 4? Trying to reach platinum this year and will get there if I get the 8!

Looking for recommendations for things to and easy hiking trails in Catskill Mountain. Also looking for recs for stay for 2 people, preferably somewhere that would have a fire place, a kitchen, and a grill. TIA

How to read diligently when on stimulants? Does anyone find it very difficult to slow down how fast they read something and as a result miss critical data points that change their story? If so, what do you do?

Just got the Venture X and planning to hit the SUB spend by buying stablecoin on Crypto dot com. Is there a risk that Capital One won’t honor this spend or will try to clawback the points?

I’m looking around for other opportunities in healthcare and I was wondering what other institutions’ benefit packages are. How much do you all pay in premiums?

I currently have my partner on my EPO plan at MSK and pay about $88 total every two weeks. I just want to know what other institutions are offering (Cornell, Columbia, NYU, Mount Sinai, Flatiron Health, etc).

whether it's a good decision to jump to another company just for a high package?

I took this decision as it takes longer to get the same package in the current company. Please suggest… more

Thank God we live in this country - good lord.

#WillYouShutUpMan

Went on a date last Sunday, I really liked the person and want to make things work but I feel I am putting too much effort to continue it. He seems interested in me but on and off, he gives me mixed vibes from his side what should I do shall I wait (cold messaging) or ask him directly I am scared of loosing him. Dating guys is new to both of us. He mentioned he needs some time to figure but it's effecting me the most maybe because I feel I am already attached naturally Any thoughts would help 🥺

Good places to eat in Lisbon?

Some people on the pic thread look amazing in all their natural glory. Privileged.

I was critical of society for imposing the 6’ preference. Then I remembered my own preference for below 30s. Subsequently I reached an agreement with myself and was no longer critical of the society 🤝

Where on earth do people find sugar daddies and how can i get one?

I'm addicted to Korean bbq chicken. I can eat a whole box and I'm 90 lb

It is incredibly demoralizing to be killing myself slogging through diligence for a very complicated target, including drafting an extensive diligence memo, all on a very tight timeline, just to be left off all the interesting calls about the purchase agreement where I could learn b/c partner is concerned about the bill & doesn’t want to write off time. It makes me feel like I’m not on the team & am just a worker bee drone & I am way less motivated to do my best work.

Partners, do better.

New to the points world and need advice. Planning a last minute trip to Chicago in a week and curious if you would use Chase points (60k) or $750 Currently have 130k from SUB+daily spending but not sure if it would be worth it to use points since the date is so close. Currently have CSR+CFF

Any luck with getting compensation from CSR retention services for sticking it out? (like the Amex stories in other posts)

Before Bonvoy, points and nights used to hit my account much faster. Is anyone else noticing a delay since the name change? Takes more than10 days for a stay to appear in account and I have to call

Best Hilton hotel in downtown DC? (Corporate travel so not exorbitantly priced)

Got ducking bit by bedbugs at Hilton hotel. What should be my course of action? Points, complaint to manager, social media. Don't want any one to go through it though.

I’ve noticed that I’m missing welcome points and green choice points. Is this a common and is there a better way to monitor than checking you’re recent activity?

If you had to put a monetary value on it, how much do you think lifetime titanium elite would be worth in the open market considering it cannot be unlocked going forward?

Emailed Marriott in August regarding missing points. They just responded today 🙃

I have $630 in SW vouchers expiring early next year. DM if you’d like to take them off my hands

Can you precharge your car rental to one car and then change it after returning? Want to use the CSR in case I need primary car insurance, but would get more points on another card. Heard this was
