Thanks C1, I’ve read through TPG’s article, but was hoping for some creative responses. AirFrance is 115k points for business class one way. Others that are similar would be helpful. But I’ll look into Qatar again

Emirates

Are you willing to do 2 stops? I was confining you to ATL-xxx-MLE which limits your options. Anything on the ME3 would be the best airline but it sounds like you are looking for the best biz class redemption option.

2 stops isn’t ideal, but not a deal breaker. ME3?

ME3 = Middle East 3 - Eithad, Emirates and Qatar. I honestly think going ATL-DOH-MLE is your best bet in terms of decent miles redemption, great biz class product and most direct routing. Maldives is a very remote location from the US and if you’re starting on the east cost going transpacific doesn’t make sense so that throws out a lot of the Asia carriers. Going through Europe is out of the way as well and potentially going to cause you to have 2+ stops and even having to switch carriers.

^^^ that + the AA bonus miles offer today is exactly my plan. 2 business class seats for 2400 total

You can also transfer AMEX to Cathay Pacific Asia Miles if you don’t want to buy AA miles.

Been working at my company as a new grad for almost a year, but don’t see myself in the team that I am in (working with Salesforce) for long term. Interested in frontend dev and have been learning on my own. Manager says chase doesnt have much React opportunities. Is it possible to make a switch when I barely have experience? Are there companies that will hire by seeing that I am willing to learn and am interested in frontend even tho I don’t have much experience with it yet?

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

I finally was able to convince my principal that we need a consistent math intervention at the MS level (grades 5-8). (Right now, we are just "doing our own thing," which isn't helping students progress much.) Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be beneficial to have some sort of progress monitoring tool as part of the program, if possible. Our classes run roughly 55 minutes (which is too long for an intervention, in my humble opinion).

Thanks for any advice.
