Pass. The only way it makes sense is if you use their portal to book your travel spend which is deeply flawed for a few reasons:

1. Hotel/car status does not pass through 3rd party bookings and the stay/rental will not count towards elite qualification.

2. Status does pass through on flight bookings, but in the event of any irrops, the airline usually punts on resolving to the booking party.

Those are dealbreakers to me.

like

OP Yep. Hotels require you to book direct to get any status benefits. You might get lucky here and there with a property letting you access your in-stay amenities (upgraded room, breakfast, lounge, etc.), but that’s not the policy and it’s much rarer to get the points/stay credit

I have the venture x and love it so far! Free global entry, priority pass, $300 annual travel credit, etc. so you definitely easily make back your money and it has a lot of other perks.

Have both... Bonus on the VentureX was converted to LifeMiles with a 20% bonus and then used to buy 2 biz class on Turkish airlines that was pricing out at 6.5k total giving about 2 cents per point... Loved CSR when I was travelling and didn't have to use a corp card... Now I most likely drop the CSR and just use VentureX and Amex Bonvoy biz

New pricing awards saved me 25k points for my upcoming trip to 🇹🇷...

I recently moved to Capital One from Venture X from CSR and really loving it. CSR was useless after the first two years, ran out of DoorDash and Lyft offers and they weren’t willing to extend them. DM me for a referral

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide

As example, if paying $10k to repaint the house means I can charge $10k more then it doesn’t really seem worth the effort (nets out anyway)....

Help please! Just seeking calibration / data points. Total household income = $350k. HCOL / high tax area (nyc, so state and city taxes). We are a couple with no kids, no debt. Rent and utilities is 3.2k monthly (combined). Car payment + insurance is 420/month. What sounds like (or if you’re in a similar situation, what is) reasonable avg total monthly spend (incl all expenses even if one-time like travel etc). Or just what’s your total annual spend if you’re in relatively similar situation. 🙏

Is Amex really worth it? My wife has a platinum card, and I have a Gold card - mostly because we used to travel a lot for work, but this has changed since COVID. Amex is increasing platinum fees to $675 a year, which would normally be a lot, but even more so when we're not using airline lounges, Uber kickbacks, travel perks, etc. nearly as much as we used to.

Amex corporate green card or CSR? I’m not seeing many benefits to the Amex and I’m wondering whether I should just stop paying the annual fee and apply for CSR instead and get reimbursed for business expenses from that card. Considering I can only put business reimbursable expenses on the Amex, it’s not accumulating points very fast. Would I be better off consolidating my points on CSR? Amex platinum doesn’t seem like the right move for me right now.
