I love it. Especially useful if you primarily fly Delta (get access to Delta lounges) and if you have a centurion lounge in your home and/or client airport. They are 10x better than airline lounges

The corporate version is not... the personal is pretty good if you have the opportunity to use it for travel.

Very true.. if you fly delta and have access to centurion lounges regularly.. that would make it worth it

But I do not :(

Sorry yes, personal but I’d only be able to use it for personal travel.

If you travel a ton personally, and not on points from your corporate life, and you fly delta, I could see it being worth it

Can I get into a delta lounge without having a delta boarding pass?

Nope. Have to have a delta boarding pass. Priority pass is good in some airports and just terrible in others. And the centurion lounge is pretty great, but limited availability

I think as long as you have a delta boarding pass doesn’t matter what card you pay with you still get access to delta lounges. You get priority pass select too - and their lounges are pretty nice (they are better abroad though). Concierge is a nice plus - I’ve had them plan some birthday parties, reservations, travel etc

$550/year gets you: $200 in uber reimbursememt ($15/month, $35 in dec), $200 in airline incidential reimbursememt. If you use both fully, youre paying $150/year for: delta skyclub, priority pass for other lounges (very useful internationally), $100 TSA/global entry voucher (once every 5 years), bongo wifi, hilton and spg gold. For me, I max both $200 vouchera easily each year and make use of the lounges. $150 for just the clubs is probably worth it for me.

I also have the CSR, but the Plat is worth it for the 5x points on flights and concierge service alone. Also wait for a good signing promo, I was lucky enough to get a 100K offer couple years ago

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
