Pay more miles, try booking via Avos miles on British Airways if you can transfer there

Are you referring to Seattle or South East Asia?

They also tend to release additional award availability closer to the travel date depending on how full they are.

Hey DD2 I’m afraid of risking it though....

Yeah I get that but usually you have to pay a premium for certainty. I booked my trip tomorrow to HK about 3 weeks ago and was able to snag business class at 70k each way.

In terms of searching, I assume you know to use BA’s website so you can search partner availability (CX, JL) before calling AA to use AA miles (for long-haul. For short flights using Avios can get good value since it’s distance-based)

Thanks DD2. Yeah. I know all the tips on google results like pointsguy. Was wondering if there are other rule of thumbs or learning experience you have. I guess I have to check every week till next year then.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
