Best way to maximize Amex rewards?

Just got an offer to upgrade my Amex Gold to Platinum with a 100k point bonus (spend $6k in 6 months). Is this worth it to upgrade to platinum? Would you do it

Wanting to take advantage of the current market. 20K to get going. What are good passive income ideas in todays economy? What would you do?

My son will be turning 1 soon and I would like to present a gift and thinking of investing on a watch so that it will hold its value 25 years down the lane, any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Budget is around $7k.

I have a brokerage account with 7k in it, split 70% VOO 30% SCHF. I now have an additional 11k I can add - how should I allocate it? Should I move towards an 80/20 split just in current funds or add things like a growth (VGT) or high dividend ETF (VYM). All of my retirement accounts are already maxed, FWIW and don’t need the $ for any large purchases needed in the near future.

Hi there. Has anyone here invested in a manual car wash? If so, how profitable is it realistically and also what to look for when buying one? Thanks in advance:)

PLTR calls? Bad week for them as they fell under ‘meme stocks’ some places. Thinking of $33 for 2/19

I have mostly passive investments. I was thinking the other day: what if everyone had only passive investments? Wouldn’t this create incredibly high amount of systemic risk? Are we all sheep??

I’m 25 in the 32% tax bracket. My split is currently 2/3 Roth 1/3 Traditional. My age was the driving factor. Is this bad?

I came from China, you know why I came here? Because I hate being told they do things for my protection. Stocks there halt for the rest of the trading day if it moves more than 10%, because everything else must be too much risk for us little people to handle.

Is anyone else pissed that our hard earned money wasn’t lost today, it was STOLEN by CORRUPT GREEDY HEDGE FUNDS

Anyways, not giving them the satisfaction. Gonna keep holding. Actually just bought the dips today for AMC BB NOK. Will keep holding for years if I have to because stocks eventually go UP📈📈📈 and ain’t no paper handed simp.

That is all

For those of you who got out at 10, do you wish that you rode it out to 20? I’m at a crossroad and I’m not sure what to do. Have some active/reserve time, wrapping up graduate school, and am now considering either a) come back to the business world or b) go active and retire before 50 and live off a nice pension. Obviously there are draws to both. I’m an officer for what it’s worth so I can realistically retire at O-5, MAYBE O-6.

Anyone else’s hours tank right before their wedding? How was it received? I am constantly interrupted by last minute wedding things 😅

My mentors (partner & senior) have scheduled a feedback meeting with me on Wednesday. It’s not just me, they’re scheduling meetings with everyone so I’m probably keeping my job. Thing is, I’ve been incredibly frustrated with the firm - I’m buried in work and billing like crazy, but there’s zero transparency on financials and zero communication on bonuses (...)

Any idea what areas/roles will experience the most growth in relation to hiring based on the recent announcement?

Anyone with systemwide upgrades to sell on American Airlines ?

New to UR travel portal. I keep seeing that I will get 1.5x back here -- does that mean if I have 20,000 points originally, it becomes 30,000 points in the portal? (cont.)

Likely going to miss Delta Diamond this year by about 10k miles. Anyway to pay to make up the difference?

Does anyone know where on the United website where I can see all my future PQMs, PQDs, and PQSs for the rest of the year?

Best way to cash $2000 in visa gift cards?

Does anyone ever redeem Marriott points for gift cards? Is it worth it?

Amex Platinum or Chase Sapphire?

"How many points?"
I'm new to all this. Beyond all the humor is this actually commonly done ? What's the process and way to go. Real examples please:)

Would you rather have 5x amex MR points or 3x chase UR points for each dollar spent on flights? Why? Company let's me book flights on personal cards and trying to decide which to choose.

Has any one worked as analyst at P&G before, just was wondering how is the work load?

What is your credit limit on CCR? We're going through some life changes (wedding, rings, travel, etc.) and was recently surprised to find my credit limit is only $30K even after being a solid customer. What are the ways I can get an increase in the credit limit?

Have a big upcoming international trip and trying to choose between the Marriott convoy boundless credit card or the chase sapphire preferred card to not have foreign transaction fees. Anyone have any experience with either and can help tip the scales one way or another?

Any suggestions on SPG/Marriott hotels in Barcelona for personal travel?

What other cards to add to my collection? I have AmEx Platinum and Chase Sapphire Reserve. Fly Delta so AmEx is handy for lounges. Use Sapphire for dining/travel. Should I add Chase Freedom Unlimited?

You can probably get some points. Be aware that American tends to have mor delays than Delta so switching won’t help. It’s also a much suckier airline in general. At least 60%of my AA flights are delayed in a year

How do you ask for points?

Currently SPG/Marriott Plat, does anyone other than Hilton offers status match

I don’t drive. Does that limit my activities if I am traveling to Hawaii ?
