Anyone have the Emirates Skywards Premium World Elite Mastercard? Thinking of getting it for the perks on an upcoming trip. Would probably use on occasion thereafter. I’d love to see what you all think - it’s a hefty annual fee!

If you live in Dubai or travel via Dubai often (eg to India or other Gulf destinations) it might be worth it. Otherwise, there are better options.

Seems like they go all over though, right?

That’s such a long name for a card

I have been searching for a travel card for months. I am a young guy who is looking to take advantage of credit and earn points at the same time.

My girlfriends family has Southwest and swear by it, with companion pass being the differentiator. I am in the DMV area and have mostly flown Jet Blue or Southwest. Any thoughts on this?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
