Anyone want to refer me for the Amex platinum with 150k points and 10/15x restaurants points? My current match is 125k but I want to max out the points I get.

EY folks - how do I increase my firm group life insurance coverage (not the group universal / variable policy)? My wife’s coverage is at like 3x my salary but mine is only at 1x my starting salary from 5 years ago…

In your opinion - What type of property is the easiest to sell?

So. I plan to invest $100k new money and I want to know what stocks are looking the best. Esp considering future results from the vaccine...

Received less salary this month also. (Same amount as last month)
Why is this happening? Too much tax 🥵

What’s a good Marriott Bonvoy points vs $ conversion to make decisions on using points or $?
I’m contemplating 40k points vs $168 including taxes at a category 4 location

Hi 
Can anyone refer me for a data science analyst role in Amex

Thanks .

At what point do you pull out money from stocks to buy your first home. Stocks seem to keep going up but I guess so does housing but how do you know you're making the right adjustment in overall portfolio allocation?

I received my fnf from Accenture today. I don't know why 18k as 'other perquisite' is mentioned in income tax computation sheet?

Any upcoming areas to buy a investment house in and around Austin Texas

Long-term disability on H1B - Yay or Nay? Lots of online forums say, visa holder will be out of status for major part of LTD and thus it makes no sense to buy

Would you buy a brand new car in cash?

Just booked flight to Hong Kong. Best SPG/Marriott to book on points? Trying to find proximity to good nightlife, restaurants, and public transportation. (Cont.)

Owe ~$4,500 in taxes for 2020. Anything I can do to reduce this amount? Going to contribute some extra money to 401k to get me to 19,500 for the year. Anything else?

I recently bought my 1st home in TX. I want to get into real estate and eventually own/rent out multiple homes. Are there any good recommendations/tips on books/articles/websites that others have used to get started?

I've read about HELOC and cash out refinance to get a 2nd home but articles are so scattered that it gets confusing which is better in terms of tax benefits and immediate costs, etc. Anything others have found helpful that summarized how to get started would be great!

Let’s hear from the Fish!

If you’re hesitant to list your property, what’s holding you back?

Hi, everyone! I’m currently looking for a role in either Talent/Org Development, People & Culture, or DE&I based in NY or remote. I recently graduated with my MA in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and an Advanced Certificate in HR, and would love to connect. Thanks in advance.

There is almost nowhere to find reliable bonus information on Canadian firms. I’ve heard of year end bonuses ranging from 10-50% this year (not including Covid bonuses). Let’s start a thread posting year of call, rough billable hours worked and bonus as a percent of salary.

5 year call. 1850 hours. 10%.

Hi everyone, i just moved to United States and i have professional background in Governance and ESG topics to develop sustainable tourism projects in middle east. What companies or firms would you recommend to contact with that can use my background experience?

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio. Most of the projects I've taken on, I've done so as a way to support others without taking much credit for it. Now, a better opportunity came along and I don't have anything to show for my talent as a designer. ALWAYS take credit for what you do, even if it's not your project to begin with.

For folks who have applied for AP/EAD, how long did it take for you to receive it?

Is someone here stuck on the job title because of the GC processing? I am just so frustrated… it’s making me mentally exhausted since I’ve been working as a Senior for 5 years already. My PERM is still in process and planned to be filed next year.

Has anyone done their H1B renewal in Canada? What was the process like and how long did it take to get your passport back?

What would you recommend someone starting tas (campus hire) early next month do to prepare. I am CPA eligible, but not sure if I should spend my time on that or study finance or just relax. Any recommendations?

I have around 4.5 year's of experience in front end technology now I am Switch my career in to Salesforce developer is good for my career

How best to find PE opportunities as an exit from Big4 strategy?

We are so close. Final stretch. Let’s go 🔥

Is the CPA designation worth it? For me it would take me 1 year of PREP courses and 2 years of PEP until i can write the CFE. And I am 27 years old right now. Also wondering if it would be crazy to pursue the CPA while learning how to code to be a developer as well?

If anyone is looking for a new great card - the new Capital One Venture X had an awesome 100k point offer ending tomorrow afternoon! PM if you have any questions or for a referral.

Looking to buy 35K marriott bonvoy points. Let me know if anyone’s willing to sell?

Traveling to DC for 4 days. Looking for Marriott with parking and maybe concierge lounge functioning. Anyone use a Marriott recently they can recommend?
Open to other suggestions too. Thanks

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)

Any recommendations for best balance transfer card? Like zero APR for 15-18 months and no fee? Also nice to have points or cash bonus

Which CC is better for sign-up bonus - Citi Premier 80K points or Chase Aer Lingus/Iberia 100K Avios points?

I churn somewhat regularly and am under 5/24 by 1. I think Citi's points are more valuable but maybe I should knock out another Chase card before I'm at 5/24 again, even though Avios isn't as versatile?

Just got an offer to upgrade my Amex Gold to Platinum with a 100k point bonus (spend $6k in 6 months). Is this worth it to upgrade to platinum? Would you do it

Anyone have a special platinum Marriott support number or contact person to resolve a lingering issue?

I screwed up. I’m a newb and didn’t know how mileages work and my gold status w AA is about to expire. I travel weekly and idk whether I should fly w/o status or pay $400 to extend it. Thoughts? 😭

Found a bed bug in a Radisson Red in Campinas Brazil, how many points?

I’m generally not a beggar but figured it was worth a shot: Does anyone have two United Club passes that are going to expire soon and you’re willing to share?

Since the Chase Freedom Unlimited gives 3% cash back on dining, does that mean you get more UR points that way vs. using the Chase Sapphire Preferred?

Got tickets to the World Cup by man flights are expensive and so are mike redemptions. Anyone have tips in find best award availability?

Can someone confirm if Marriott does not give complimentary breakfast with a points booking? Booked with 25k points and was told no complimentary breakfast..

Has anyone tried to sell miles or points through one a site. I have a family member looking to do it and I had never looked into. Any experiences? Pros cons

Has anyone been offered a status buy-up for 2021. ~$1700 short of United 1k this year and think my travel will increase a good bit starting next year. Think it could make sense, especially given the 2021 thresholds

Beginner here. I'm trying to use my points to buy a flight to Puerto Rico. If Delta costs me 55k points on my Amex (valued at $600 per Points Guy), versus United which costs me 60k points (valued at $700), shouldn't I still just go with the Delta cause I'm spending less points?

People at EY not use the corporate card? The expense system is horrible. But might not be worth using my Marriott card...
