Amex plat + lowest interest rate, zero frills, high limit card as backup line of credit linked to checking account

Is it worth it to upgrade to the Amex Platinum from the CSR for that extra .2 oz of weight?

funny

Interest rate means nothing on cards. Terrible advice

like

K1, if you need a backup line of credit you probably shouldn't be springing for an Amex Platinum...
OP, I would say only get the Amex Platinum if you really highly value the Centurion lounge access.
Otherwise, get the CSR + SPG Amex.

Which is going away mck1 with the merger

I keep the SPG AMEX for the additional kicker for points when combined with status

like

If you’re Delta, definitely go with the Platinum Card

like

Not suggesting that TSC1, but if you fly Delta the Amex Platinum gives you access to the Delta Lounge network, which is an amazing benefit.

Ah right, forgot about that one! Makes sense :)

They’re both great cards otherwise, I don’t think you can really go wrong :)

Yep! One other thing OP - just in case hadn't heard of it, look up the Chase 5/24 rule before applying for the CSR

American Airlines? Too many acronyms in here easy to get lost

AA >>> United

Why get the Spg Amex? The CSR already gives you 3 points in spg properties + the flexibility to transfer to any program

Spg amex signon bonus plus can argue 2 points better than sapphire

I assume OP wants the SPG Amex for the annual free night and the night credit towards status

WM1, what exactly is going away?

Hi folks,
Quite new to this. I’ll be moving to Dubai in a month and I got to know that my education documents need to be attested before the company can apply for visa. I’ve been trying to get hold of this as information is not consistent. Do I need to have MOFA Attestation in addition to the UAE Embassy Attestation from home country or will that be managed by the company in UAE itself?

I’m a new associate to a T&E group, partner goes away on vacation and leaves me with a 706 to review and sign. The family is very wealthy. Decedent married for 60 years. Partner says it’s “just a DSUE election, decedent was ill for years, no assets.” Provides no records. Not even an admission the decedent owned a toothbrush. So I looked up the decedent’s home - it’s a joint asset. Partner was “surprised”, and still insists “no other assets”. I found file references to art and antiques.

He sold his house before being approved for the new one he put in for (against my advice). I know he won’t understand and will take this personally, and the family will probably take his side. Gonna be a long week…
