Best [next] credit card?

Currently have the Chase Sapphire Preferred, considering upgrading to the Reserve but also looking at AmEx Gold/Plat. Past the time-lock period for Chase so I will be eligible for the sign-up bonus again if I do upgrade.

Not sure if any upgrade is worth it but am planning to travel (should the Delta variant subside) so want to maximize the sign-up bonuses and perks for my next card.

AmEx Plat!

likehelpful

C3, haven’t been in consulting long eh? You do realize that you can book hotel rooms without paying upfront?

I had both CSR and AMEX plat. The only place where CSR was better was on car rentals. I love the Amex concierge service.
I kept my Amex plat and downgraded CSR to a CSP. I may downgrade Amex plat too now that the fee has increased. Also, Amex delta gold has a nice signup bonus right now.

This post pops up every week, search bruh

How long is the time lock period? Didn’t realize I could upgrade and get the bonus again

48 mo since last bonus but you can't still have any sapphire, have to change yours to a chase freedom (any type) first

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k. Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

Hi fishes,

The rumors about PwC KSDC changing the bonus/hike payout cycle from July to an earlier month between March and June are picking pace. If there is any senior staff, or member with credible information on this, please share your 2 cents. The suspense is killing me, and I am sure many of you echo my sentiments here.

So far, I have heard:
- March
- May
- June
- July but with salary effective from April (paid as arrears in July). Something similar for June as well.
