Best travel card? Best card to boost credit score?

Agree w csc1

Other travel cards - chase sapphire and amex BUT do your research if those make sense for you considering the annual fee and type of travel bookings you will do

Note- amex wont necessarily boost your credit score. They dont give you a "credit limit" so whenever your credit is reviewed, it will show as 100% used in amex regardless of the balance on it. It also wont add to your "available credit" total. Example: balance of 2k will show 2k/2k used up, while other cards will show 2k/credit limit

I don’t know if any necessarily boost your credit score since you already have to have a good credit score to get the best travel cards like Capital One, Chase and Amex. My credit score reverts back to the original score prior to applying in the 790-810s

I switched from Chase Sapphire Reserve to Capital One Venture X. Lower annual fee and blanket 2x points more aligned to my spending now especially since I use the Amex Gold for groceries and restaurant

Ditto on CapOne Venture X! I got my card just 1 week after being approved and it’s already paid for itself for my honeymoon coming up!

I'm a Canadian on the TN visa working in the US and planning on maxing my Roth IRA (6k) and will have enough left to max my 401k this year, but am not sure if I should just use a taxable account over 401k due to tax considerations when I move back to Canada (likely 1-2 years from now). Any thoughts here? I don't think I'll have enough RRSP room to move 401k>IRA>RRSP and I would prefer to not have to file US taxes every year in retirement for withdrawls if I left the 401k in the US.

Doesn’t have to be a European badge. Thoughts?

I list mine because I see it as a way to show support for colleagues who may not be cisgender. If anyone else works in the same type of environment, do you infer anything about colleagues who choose not to list their gender pronouns? (such as they are homo/trans phobic?)
