Downtown SF?

If off peak, Palace is cool. But can be expensive depending on the timing. Le Meridien is solid.

Le meridien sometimes has crazy cheap rates (for SF) if booked prepaid in advance (140 per night)

My preference is the palace. Westin is pretty good too (great for hotel gym with pelotons)

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly. We have dual income, with a house (~$300k in equity), 1 kid and 1 on the way. I’ve looked into debt consolidation via HELOC but also have ~$80k in vested equity in my company that I haven’t touched. Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem.

Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?

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.

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