Depends on where you want to go and how you want to get there (economy vs biz vs first). I wouldn’t transfer until you have a redemption option in mind and they have open space for the class of service you want to fly in.

100%

While it may or may not be a worse redemption rate, note you can use AMEX points on their travel site to buy tickets and sometimes they run specials so I usually check if that’s a good deal. Those tickets count as revenue tickets and thus earn miles and count towards status qualification with the carrier as AMEX Travel is actually buying them from the carrier.

I never find the redemption of Amex points to be that great, so I usually book a hotel with Amex points and cancel it later on. You’re not refunded the points, instead you get a statement credit. Essentially you get 25% redemption than directly using the points as a statement credit. I then book the flight with cash...

I recently interviewed for L7 EM at Google and had 4 great interviews and one not so great system design. I submitted external referrals all of which gave great feedback.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
