Buying 500K Bonvoy points for 4K. Please DM

Diamond medallion on Delta. They lost my bags on the outbound (3 with my wife who is Plat) and inbound flights (1) on a trip to Europe. How many points should I expect? Any advice to deal with this?

Every time I try to use Hertz points abroad the site says that location doesn't take them. Can I call and use them or am I just SOL using them anywhere internationally?

Anyone have any delta beverage vouchers they’re willing to share? Didn’t land an upgrade and could really go for a drink or two after this week.

Planning on a trip from NYC to Miami. Need 2 suggestions — 1) best neighborhood to stay for 2 laid back women in their late 30’s, 2) best way to move around between car rentals vs Uber? If car rental, any recommendations on which rental to use given the astronomical gas and rental prices?

Any tips for HireVue interviews/Delta Airlines?

Help! I recently purchased a wanna get away ticket through Southwest for a business trip that was about $850. I was asked to cancel the trip due to other work issues in my local area. As luck would have it, there's a strong possibility that I landed a great new job and they need me to start right away. The credit is under my personal rapid rewards account. Ideas to help me avoid writing a big check to my company??

St. Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort - anyone been and worth it?

28M. First time solo travel 3 week trip to Spain coming up. Flying Royal Air Maroc from US. They’re allowing 2 check in bags and 1 carry on. However, I want to travel light and am trying to avoid check in bags completely. What carry on backpacks do you recommend to buy that would be enough for 3 week trip but also be allowed as a carry on? Also need to buy packing cubes.

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!

How does one go about complaining about a poor hotel service incident and getting points? In a country where I don’t speak the language so I’d rather not waste time trying to escalate in person

Is the late checkout until 4pm guaranteed for platinum elite members?

Taking 8 days off in DC/Jan (over New Years). I want to do some hiking, but not sure where I want to go. Based out of DC. Any recs?

This has probably been asked many times in this bowl - what’s the best hotel rewards program? I have the Chase Sapphire Preferred card and I’m a Southwest RR member. I travel maybe 25-30% of the time

Switching jobs soon and will have a couple weeks at the end of November/start of December before the new job starts. Does anyone have any recommendations on a quick trip. I’m based in Chicago. Prefer international, since I’ve traveled to most places in the US. Thank you!

Looking to take my first solo trip for my birthday and deciding between San Juan & St. Thomas. I want beach, one water activity, nice hôtels/resorts and amazing food! Walkability would be nice but not needed!

Guys - need recommendations for quality suits without spending $1000+. Have tried SuitSupply and they were good, but interested in exploring other options.

Hello Everyone,

I have received offer letter from Optum Global Solutions India recently and I am seriously considering joining it(I also have offers from Deloitte USI and Verizon).
My breakup annexure mentions 4 components apart from RRP and PF. Basic, HRA, Flexi, Special Allowance. Either the Special Allowance or the Flexi is not included in the CTC mentioned in offer letter. So I want to understand how the Flexi and Special Allowance are paid monthly. Can someone please help?

Is today salary day? I havent received my salary yet?

GSP San Fran or Leo Chicago?

Do you pay out of pocket on insurance premiums at your firm? My wife may leave her job to stay home and we’re on her insurance. My firm told me we’re $750/pay period or $18k/yr. that sounds absurd.

Are salaries negotiable at performance review and/or promotion?

Hii Fishes!!
I am currently working as a Module Lead QA with 5 year of experience. I am into manual web application testing including API testing and SQL knowledge
Can you guyz please suggest what salary should I expect from Indian market these days. Also what is the required set of skill at this stage?

As I'm moving to a new role in a small company, I have a doubt about my salary structure like the Basic salary part is only 20,000 while my take home is 62k after all deductions.

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?

Making ~$105k in Chicago (bonus included). Looking to go to either California, NY or Boston. What is the lowest salary increase you would take? The cost of living index might not be realistic (150+ in California or NY and 120+ in Boston). I know there are a lot of factors and assumptions but just want to get a gauge / ballpark estimate from diff perspectives. (Looking for strategy and ops in big tech... for now... )

I just found out I am pregnant and the person is not a believer. I know i have sinned, and now i am so lost. Abortion has crossed my mind multiple times. Not sure what i am doing posting here, I just needed to vent.

New some likes for Dm. Thanks

Did your agency give people the day off today for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation? And either way, which agency?

What’s supposed to happen Monday?

Is the late checkout until 4pm guaranteed for platinum elite members?

Please excuse my innocence, but the way it looks is that it seems so to be worth it to join a firm that allows personal card vs Corp amex. Thoughts?

Does Centurion Lounge access justify the Amex Platinum fee? 80% of foreseeable travel will be through IAH, DFW, and LAS.

Any possibility to get points for hotel not sending bill? Nights still haven't showed up in my account and I checked out May 26th and submitted the missing nights form.

Can I simply upgrade from Amex Blue Cash Preferred to Amex gold? Or would both just be open at the same time since one is technically a charge card?

I have a boneheaded question I’m pretty sure I know the answer to. My partner can’t use my Hilton Honors account for an upcoming stay he is going to book, right? He doesn’t need my discount or anything - was just hoping that he could get my diamond benefits.

Is there a thread of company discount codes? ISO Hilton code (do not judge me my BIL is getting married at a Hilton and his fiancé is going to go postal if we don’t reserve a room now)

I was on an AA flight that turned around near the final destination due to "air conditioning problems," landed back in Philly, then we reboarded a few hours later.

What should my demands be?

Amex Platinum or Chase Sapphire?

Best Hyatt in Hawaii (ideally Kona or Maui)?

Having trouble opening a new bank acc (eg Marcus by GS, Ally) as I‘ve only been in US for a few months and have no credit history. Any international fish have tips to circumvent?

Flight attendant woke me up while I was sleeping to give me ice cream, then I couldn’t go back to sleep.
How many points?

How many people do you think each SPG/Marriott ambassador looks after?

Since the Chase Freedom Unlimited gives 3% cash back on dining, does that mean you get more UR points that way vs. using the Chase Sapphire Preferred?

Staying at a Hilton currently and have had tons of minor issues in the 3 days We’ve been here. Room wasn’t ready for 45min after check in time, AC did not work, maids did not clean room...continued

Did EWR pull out of priority pass? Seems like there are no more lounges listed at the airport. Kinda disappointed with the sapphire reserve lounge access…

Will have a night in Houston for work. Never been to the city before. Any tips on best SPG/Marriott property down there?

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. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

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

Which award did you pick when you hit 50 nights in SPG and why?

1 night free
10 upgrade nights
5 Elite Qualifying Nights
