Chase is offering 100k pts right now, and I think the chase ecosystem is more robust.

You can also get chase bonuses again after 48 months if you downgrade your account where Amex bonuses are one and done (you’re never eligible again)

Bonus is probably better for chase rn
But i have amex gold main expenses are groceries & restaurants so if thats your thing bonus is pretty good on that as well

All depends on what you spend on

like

I have both. Use Amex exclusively for groceries, chase for everything else

Definitely both. The bonus categories for the Amex gold are too good to pass up, and your best value would be transferring to airlines.

Sapphire preferred is a must have as well for their transfer partners (my favorite transfer is to hyatt where you can get insane value for points), and the ease of use if you want to use it at 1.25 value. Additionally, if you hold the sapphire you should also get the $0 annual fee freedom unlimited, which gets 1.5% casback, which you can combine with your sapphire points to get even more value.

Check out The Points Guy for more info.

Best every day spend card is the Amex blue small business. $0 fee and $2x on everything up to $50k

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.

I'm a recent grad who accepted an entry-level full-time job offer with Capital One.

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.

From my understanding 10% PS is better because it’s just a standard 10% on top of whatever I contribute though it takes 5 years to vest. Does this mean if I leave before 5 years I don’t get any of it?
