Any restrictions on baggage allowance if you book your ticket with reward miles for American ? I am platinum. Just learnt last week that upgrade was not possible because I booked through points.

No, you just can't get free upgrades like you would on a revenue ticket unless you're EP. Standard baggage rules apply so checked bag fee waived for 2 bags.

What advice would you give to someone who's traveling internationally for the first time?

We were going to go on a hike and had a hotel booked for a night. Texted him 5 min before arrival and when i was there to pick him up. He hopped in the shower. I got annoyed that he did that because i communicated beforehand to be ready. He didnt like that and said that he thinks that i think my time is more important than his... he canceled the trip and we are not speaking because of this incident... Am i crazy or something?

“Why do you want to work here?” How do you answer this question early in the interview process? I get it often in the first round and what I really think is - “I don’t know yet, that’s why we’re talking! It’s a two way street.” But that obviously isn’t a good answer….

Hi all,
I had my technical round scheduled with Capgemini last week. This week I cleared the L1 interview round and HR discussion. Before releasing the offer letter they asked me to submit my documents and sent a link to appear for an AMCAT exam (English grammer and email writting) as part of hiring process . My question is based on AMCAT score is there a possibility that Capgemini would revoke my offer ? Is it an elimination round as they mentioned this a part of Capgemini hiring process?
